Deer killed.
In addition to the ones reported
in our Saluvia items this week,
Bert Kerlin, and one of Enoch
Kerlin's boys, both of Knobsville,
each killed a fine deer this season.
The party that went to Augh-
wick from this place and Big
Cove have not kept in close com
munication with the town, and
full report is not yet in; but we
saw the head of a fine deer killed
by Prothonotary B. Frank Henry
who was one of the party. Mr.
Henry was standing on a log the
first day of the season when he
saw the deer running. A low
whistle from Mr. Henry cause it
to stop a moment, and that mo
ment was fatal to the deer. This
makes two that Mr. Henry has
secured this fall both according
to law.
