BATTLING BUCKS
FIGHT TO FINISH
VICTOR. AFTER BEING FREED
FROM DEATdLOCK, DARTED
INTO FOREST

Two buck deer, their antlers in
a deathlock and their sharp hoOfs
flashing each others flanks, battled
for supremacy of the BeartOoth
forest wilds near Red Lodge a few
days ago while five persons strove
futilely to stop the struggle that
brought death to one of the deer.
Ben Pack Saddle" Greenough,. one
of the Observation-Disclosures riding
Greenoughs" of the rodeo, threw a
O around the horns Of the battling
bucks and tied them to a tree.
But the animals thrashed the under
brush. cut burrows in the ground with
their hoofs and twisted their entangled
heads, all the while trying to deliver the
death thrust.
Greenough hurried to his fathers
ranch south of Red Lodge and brought
his father, his two sisters and a forest
service employee, Wayne Cunningham,
back to help him separate the beasts.
During the attempts Of the quintet
to part the forest monarchS, Marg1e
Greenough twice was knocked to the
ground by the rearing, .plunging bucks.
She was not seriously hurt.
Finally the older and larger OF the
bucks, exhausted and his throat and
flanks slashed, sank on his launches
in the death throes.
The seven-point buck was dead by
the time the Greenoughs and Cunning
ham separated the antlered heads.
Freed. the victor darted OFT into the
forest.
