Kangaroo Scored Knockout.

“Ned Kelly, the old buck kangaroo, has been baring a fight with the boss stag of the axis deer herd.” said Sergeant McGee of the San Francisco park police, “and it is the first time’ I ever heard of two herbivorous animals so widely different In species finding common ground for a quarrel. “As a matter of fact, it was the axis deer that started the trouble. He was trying to show off before the does and started butting at poor old Ned Kelly who was peacefully lolloping about with no thought for trouble. The first butt of the deer set Ned thinking, the second set him mad, the third —well, Ned Kelly Just turned about and gave the axis deer one wallop under the stomach with !t» tail. You could hear the smack five blocks away, and it simply knocked the deer flat. It dropped as If It had been shot while Ned Kelly Just hopped away as happy as a bird."
