Deputy Sheriff John Slavin, of Allegheny coun- ty, sheepishly told friends the gun was his. Slavin fired at the handsome 12-point buck and it toppled over. Thinking it was dead, the hunter started to tie a tag on his prize. He stacked the gun on the animal's antlers to facilitate matters. As though that was just what the wily buck was walting for, it sprang up and fled—plus the gun. TOO SLOW Frank Lawson, 41-year-okl el- ectrician, of Hammond, Ind. railed at the “injustice of it all’ after he had been sentenced to ten days in jail for driving too slowly. The arresting officers accused Lawson of endangering traffic by driving four miles an hour while intoxicated. Lawson protested that he was not intoxi- cated and explained that he was driving so slowly because he was a very, very careful motorist. ROPE SAVES MAN As Henry Hatton, 2], smoke- stack painter of Akron, Ohle, changed his position while work- ing at the top of 4 140-foot met- al smoke-stack, he slipped. The rope tied to his body caught on a guide wire about 85 feet from the ground, and there he hung, head down, for twenty minutes until firemen, using their longest ladder, cut him down. He ap- peared to be uninjured, but, we imagine, thoroughly frightened.
