For the first time in twenty years a white deer has come down from the Adirondacks and the lucky shot which killed it was fired by a woman, Miss Marion Beatrice Puller, of Boston, Bos-ton, did the trick and she is mighty proud of her achievement. Up at the Hotel St. Louis, where she is stopping, Miss Fuller is exhibiting exhibit-ing the white deer and another she shot. Considerable interest is attached to this white deer, which has been seen by huntsmen in the Adirondacks for the past few years, and on account of its clusiveness it 'has been called the "Phantom Deer.". Men who hunt regularly in the district claim to have shot at the deer and this seems probable as its left shoulder shows a break which might have been caused by a bullet, and the left leg is much shorter than the right. 5 The bullet fired by Miss Fuller struck the deer in. the, right shoulder and penetrated the heart. Though regarded as one of the best women, shots in the country, Miss Fuller thinks the eft hind rabbit foot she carried had something to do with her luck. Miss Fuller has offered her deer to the Museum of Natural History. His-tory. Dr. Andrews, of the department of mamals of the museum, says a white deer is very rare. According to Miss Fuller the American girl is making a mistake if she does not go in for a month or two in the open. She gives credit to her life in the woods for her rare good health and good looks. |
