Big Buck Kills Deer In Self Defense
Shamokin is the scene as William Fulton of Shamokin reports killing a big buck in self defense while alone near his cabin on the last day of the hunting season. The deer was shot between the eyes as it bore down on him, leaving the party with no other game. A separate report from Hallam notes the death of an unknown man in a barn, age about 55, likely an influenza victim, found by a York Valley Lime worker and living in the barn for a week. In Shamokin, Charles Maddenfort, a state game protector, received 75 ring-necked pheasants to release in local woods, following a two-week patrol of a Union county game preserve.
