DEER ATTACKED
 BY DOC DIES
Death Struggle on ThOm- aston Avenue Today
 Watched By Crowd

Fight to the death on the ice of the Naugatuck river, Greystone road, attracted attention of more than POO persons at about 8 o'clock this morning when 8 large shaggy dog chased full-Erown buck deer out onto the ice and, after about twenty minutes of savage battle, brought the deer down.
 While spectators watched, the deer, closely followed by his attack CT, slipped out onto the ice after what apparently had been a long chase.
 The dog followed and leaped high to attempt a hold on the deer's throat. The buck, slipping more than the dog, tried to ward off the attack with his antlers, but, tired and winded, eventually succumbed.
 Mystery attached to the dispo- sition of the deer's carcass although 1t was understood that report of the killing was made to the game war den by the proprietor of a nearby gasoline station.
 Traffic on Thonaston avenue was virtually tied up during the en- counter when motorists halted their cars to watch the death struggle of the deer.
