After fighting for two hours, twi male deer belonging to the Essex county park commission locked horns on the hillside paddock at the South Mountain reservation, and had to be shot to end' their sufferings. It is just a year ago since a dozen mained bucks and does were found on the reservation. Alonzo Church, secretary to the park commission, summoned Doctor Hornaday, of the Bronx Zoological garden, to solve the mystery. Jle found that it was the season when the larger bucks become vicious, and a number of them were shot. Recently two other bucks which had shown murderous dispositions were also shot to insure the safety of those that remained —South Orange (N. J.) Dispatcn to New York Sun.
