Frightened Horse of Man Driving Along Old Post Road. A doe, weight probably about 200 pounds, was found dead on' the old Boston post road at Putnam Helghts Saturday afternoon. The animal had been shot through the heart and a wound in its haunches indicated that a dog had torn violently at the fleeting animal before leaden death had been pourea into if. Jemes E. Chase, who lives in a corner of Killingly border- ing on this town, found the dead deer while the carcass was yet warm. The first intimation of anything unusual Deing .in the highway came when his horse showed algns of fear, probably on account of the scent of blood from the dead deer's wounds. He pulled the deer out of the highway-and up beside o wall of property of one of the resi- dents In that section. Arthur -Le- brecque, who is_employed on a farm in the neighborhood, Was afterwards sent down to bring the deer-away. “The killing of the doe is in line with many other such illegal performances that there is good reason to believe have occurred in Windham county this fall, and in falls past, only this time the deer was shot in such a loeality that the man who is_responsible for he killing could not derive the bene Ats of his risky work for fear of de tection.
