Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

     One day last week a deer was chased from the mountain into Jackson’s river, closely followed by a pack of  hounds. The deer crossed the river and jumped into a field near by, belonging to A. T. Stephenson, Esq. A small. mischievous mule was grazing in the field, and, as soon as he spied the deer, took up the chase, followed it closely until the fence on the opposite side was reached, which the deer attempted to clear, but failed, and fell to the ground, whereupon the mule struck it with its fore feet, and held it there until the dogs came up and captured it. The fact was witnessed by several gentlemen of Jackson’s river, who will testify to the fact.-Highland [O] Record.
