Rancher Gored by Tame Deer.

Charles T. Boots, a well-known breeder of- thoroughbreds, who has a large ranch near Milpitas, California, was seriously injured by a tame deer, which he fed and petted. Most of the animals were very tame. As Boots left the paddock after caring for the animals one of them chased him, and before he could leap over the fence the buck charged upon him, thrusting one of its sharp horns into his breast. One of Boots’ lungs was pierced.
