A WHALE OF A DEER STORY.
‘Stow Shee Man Holds Deer by Tail
©“ Until Given a Gun Then
| Shoots It.
The woods were made for the hunter of
. “dreams,”
The brooks—for the fishers of songs;
, Touthe hunters who hunt for the
th game
! The streams and the woods belong.
: From “The Bloodless Hunter.”
|
i One of the best deer stories heard
in recent years comes from Snow
Shoe, and the best part of it is, that
(it’s all true. At least the “Watch-
man’s” informant was willing to
vouch for it, and that ought to be
; enough for any man. The parties di-
| rectly concerned are members of the
{ Chambers hunting party, of which
: county treasurer David Chambers is
! the official head, and who are this
| year encamped at what is known as
i Box Lick.
| _ The party went out one morning re-
cently to make a drive and were un-
usually successful as they drove out
ra herd of deer in which were five
' bucks. One of the bucks was shot by
{a member of the party whose name
could not be learned; another was
i brought down by Edward Chambers
;and Will Davis shot another that
| dropped within a few feet of the one
{ killed by Chambers. The two men
were close together so going to where
the deer ‘dropped they laid their guns
; on the ground and proceeded to cut
| the throat of the Chambers buck.
| They then walked over to the buck
| that had been shot by Davis but as
| they did so the deer staggered to its
| fect and with no gun in hand to shoot
| it again Davis grabbed it by the tail
and yelled to Chambers to get a gun.
The deer, which was a three pronged
buck, jumped and plunged, dragging
Mz. ‘Davis through the scrubby un-
derbrush but the latter had a death
grip on the deer’s tail and stuck to it.
Thus’ impeded the deer could make no
headway and it was only a matter of
a minute or two until Chambers ar-
rived on the scene with the gun. He
fired one shot without doing any harm
to the buck and then probably realiz-
ing that he had already killed one
deer he refused to shoot the animal
but told Davis he would have to kill
his own deer.
While just here the exact details
are missing, yet we conclude that
Chambers even refused to hold the
deer while Davis shot it, but he did
and releasing his tail hold when the
deer ‘as least suspecting it Davis
grabbed the gun and shot the buck
through ‘tHe neck before he could get
: away. ' The two men then cut the ani-
mal’s’ throat and thus ended its ca-
reer. ‘An examination of the deer
disclosed the fact that Davis’ first
shot had hit the animal square in the
foreh84d; but the cartridge must have
been’défective 45 the ball did not pen-
etrate'the skull. The deer was knock-
ed dowh and stunned and lay in that
conditioli" just long enough for the
two men to get to him. The above
incident took place on what is known
as the corduroy road and it is now the
big story of the Chambers camp. The
Chambers party, by the way, had
five deer up to, the time this article
was written. Ree nlk e

ed mostly of Philadelphians, have two

and two bobcats, one of which weigh-
ed fifty pounds with the insides re-
moved.’ The big bob had evidently
feasted on a deer shortly before it
was shot, as its stomach was well fill-
ed with undigested verison.

burn, has sent the “Watchman” a re-
vised list of the deer killed in the

that, no matter how much you try,

the very best Russian calf leather,
long vamps, military heels, one of the
very latest style shoes, but ‘the color,
while it is the very latest shade, is
just a little too light for the average
woman’s taste. But what is a little
difference in color when you can save
$4.00 on a pair of shoes? Do not

gain. At Yeager’s shoe store. 49-1t

ed that they had passed on twelve bills
of indictment, all of which had been
returned as true bills. They also ex-
amined the public buildings and found
the court house in good shape. They
recommended, however, that new
spouting be put on the front of the
jail building and new linoleum in the
hall. They also recommended that a
door be cut into the south side of the
jail wall leading into the dungeon as
a means of releasing prisoners into
the jail yard in case of fire in the west
portion of the jail. They further rec-
ommended that a fire-proof garage be
erected on the site of the present sta-
ble with a capacity for housing two
cars. This latter recommendation
has been made by several successive
grand juries but so far the County
Commissioners have failed to take
action thereon.
The first case taken up on Monday
was that of the Carey Safe company
vs. F. P. Blair & Son, an action to re-
cover payment for a safe sold the
Bellefonte firm some years ago, pay-
ment for which was refused on the
| grounds that the safe was not made
! according to specifications.
i The above case was on trial until
| Tuesday morning when the jury re-
; turned a verdict in favor of the plain-
| tiff for $123.25.
| A TEST CASE ON VACCINATION LOST.
| The next case taken up was. that of
: the Commonwealth vs. Burdine But-
ler, prosecutors the Howard township
school board. The case was in reality
an action to test the legalty of the
vaccination law. Mr. Butler attempt-
ed to send his two boys, Fortney and
Daniel, to school without being vac-
cinated and the teacher would not per-
mit them to attend. Then, as the
boys come under the compulsory ed-
ucation law, action was brought
(against Mr. Butler to compel him to
accede thereto. -Mr. Butler's case was
i conducted by attorneys S. D. Gettig,
| of Bellefonte, and Sol. E. Long, of
Erie, but formerly of Texas, and whe
represents the anti-vaccination socie-
ty. N..B. Spangler Esq., assisted dis-
trict attorney James C.. Furst in-the
prosecution. The jury returned a ver-
‘dict of guilty. The case will now. be
appealed to a higher court in order to
test the constitutionality of the vacci-
nation law. . 2 ine
On Wednesday the case of S. B.
Stine vs. the Pennsylvania Railroad
company, was taken up. This is an
1 action to recover damages for proper-
ty destroyed by fire, alleged to have
been caused by a spark from a loco-
motive. No decision has yet been
reached.
The Stine case is a very important
one as it involves damages of over
$100,000. The plaintiff had gotten on-
ly to the point of showing a property
loss of about $113,000 when court ad-
journed at noon yesterday. The Penn-
sylvania company has about forty
witnesses called in defense so that the
case is likely to take up the rest of
the week. John Blanchard is defend-
ing the case and the plaintiff is repre-
sented by quite an array of counsel
among whom is M. Ward Fleming,
Judge Reed and Harry Boulton. The
property in question is the Stine foun-
dry and machine shop at Osceola
Mills.

spectfully requests that all organiza-

| Many of us know so little of our
own town that often we have to be
told about things that we pass every
day and take little or no notice of. It
| happened a few nights ago that a la-
dy and gentleman arrived in Belle-
fonte by motor at a rather late hour.
They had had their supper, but the
- suggestion of a little lunch appealed
to both, but where could they go for
it; to get just a bite that would be
daintily served and appetizing.
The gentleman suggested that they
cross the street to the Bon Mot. At
first the lady demurred but then con-
cluded that it looked so nice and
bright that she would try it. To say
that she was surprised is putting it
mildly. The very air in the Bon Mot
was pure and pleasing, And the sand-
wiches and hot chocolate with whipped
cream that were served the pair were
just right. Excellently prepared and
daintily served.
Take our advice. Drop in some
( evening and see how nice the Bon
| Mot really is. For out-of-town ladies
, here for a few hours it seems to us it
| offers an especial attraction in its
i light lunches.
