Show Deer Come to Town to Live. L. L. Gaffney informs us that the town of Downieville is at present inhabited by quite a number of deer that were captured cap-tured during a storm. They walk around town and are as tame as cattle, some of them going up to children on the streets to eat food and delicacies given them. One band of fourteen were found near the banks of the river, above town. They were all bunched in the snow and left over night. The next day those who found them picked out what they wanted and took them to town, where, in a few days, they became perfectly tame. Some are kept tied in stables, and some wander around town at will, returning to the barn when they have had their exercise. Tlie town dogs do not disturb them when out. Nevada City Herald. |
