Taming a Deer While on their way to school recent'y, children of Mr. Joseph Robinson, of Monck, near Mt. Forest, discovered a deer lying helpless by the roadside. They returned home and tol J their father, who went to the exhausted animal, load- ed it into a sleigh and took it to his barn, where it has since remained. It had probably strayed from the marsh > and had been chased by dogs, until worn out, it had thrown itself on a snow bank to die. A kinder fate was, however, in store and the animal now seems content to be numbered with Mr. Robinson's farm stock and the family are endeavor- ing to make a pet of it. Dr Allen reported the occurance to thcj Depart- ment of Game and Fisheries, and received permission for Mr. Robinson to keep the deer until December 31, 1923. If the animal is then still alive and happy the permission will be renewed. Mr. Robinson is to be commended on his humane action in this incident. Fatality at Creemore Earl, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs Edward Mackay .)r., had met a tragic death when he was crushed by a horse. The little fellow who was but three years and three months old was playing with his older brother, Maurice, that morning, near the home of his grand- father, Mr. and Mrs, Alex. McArthur, Elizabeth St which is about two or three doors east of his home. On the arrival of Mr. McArthur's son. J. D., of the 4th line Nottawasaga (north) with his horse and cutter. , Karl and his brother accompanied their grandfather to the barn. The horse stable beinp filled to capacity the horse was tied to a ladder in the feed room. Earl was standing directly behind the animal but far enough back to be thought in safe distance, r'or some unknown reason" the horse took fright and making a bolt back- wards crushed the little fellow against the wall, fracturing his skull, f-ut before the boy could be rescued the horse had tramped on his face breaking his nose and indicting cuts and bruises. ' He was immediately conveyed to the house but ! death was instantaneous, although medi- cal assistance was summoned immediat- ely. The ladder which was released fiom its moorinn'i narrowly csc;tped striking his uncle. J. D. McArthur. Star. CEYLON Intended For Last Week Mr. Jas Pa'U-tson of Toronto is visit- ing at Mr A.
