Hunter Tells of Buck in Role of Abductor
Kennebago, Me., Dec. 10 (UP)—This is the deer hunting story of a buck which kidnaped a hunter and almost prevented him from telling the tale.
Ernest Creamer of Greene says, and he insists it's true, he felled the animal with a rifle shot on the Kennebago river bank. Thinking it dead, Creamer straddled the buck for operations with his knife.
Immediately the animal arose and raced with Creamer on its back. The buck plunged into the river with Creamer gripping its antlers with one hand and rifle with the other. Half way across the river, Creamer took a close one-hand shot at the back of the buck's neck, killing it. He swam ashore, towing his prize.
