Deer Captured Alive

Remus, Mich., Nov. 23.- Harry Middlehouse of Grand Rapids is probably the only man in Michigan who ever caught a deer in his arms and captured it alive. A few days ago young Middlehouse, who was visiting his cousin here, caught a glimpse of a 250pound buck that had been a captive when a fawn, but which broke away four years ago and has been wild ever since. Middlehouse hid himself behind a log while a companion drove the deer toward him. The buck came to the edge of the log and stopped. Middlehouse did not have the heart to shoot it and sprang for the buck, clasping his arms around lts neck. Then ensued a liattle royal. Middlehouse managed to throw the buck, but it speedily rose to its feet. Farwell, ilis companion was too far away to be of assistance. Each time Middlehouse managed to throw the buck it managed to get a prod at him with his horns, whlch, fortunately, had been recently shed. By the time Farwell reached the scène Middlehouse was almost worn out, his clothing was mostly gone and he had two big lumps on his side, raised by the buck's feet. With Farwell'a help Middlehouse finally got a halter around the buck's neck and tied it to a tree. After the two young men had rested they bound the buck's feet together and carted him back to his old home. It was boxed for shipment, after añother desperate struggle in which nearly the whole village took part, and sent to Grand Rapids, where it will fmd a permanent home in the city park.
