Buck Tangled Under Box Car.

Members of an Erie freight crew running between Honesdale, Pa., and Lackawaxen had an interesting experience when their train stopped at Glen Eyre. A targe buck deer with a head decoration of five double prongs swam the Delaware river, clambered up the embankment and without hesitation proceeded to crawl under the cars. Several trainmen ran to the scene and one succeeded in grabbing the. buck’s tall. The animal became tangled In the under construction of the car and for a time it seemed that it would be captured, but by twisting and turning it managed to extricate its antlers, and with a bound it shot from under the car. The tail-hold of the trainmen had slipped, and before the spectators realized what bad happened the buck had bounded up the side of the mountain to a thicket, where it stopped and viewed the situation. It watched the crew for a few minutes and then disappeared.
