Adopts Deer Baffles Donnellson Farm Herd
A young deer about the size of a small calf has mingled with cattle on M. A. Wirsig farm near Donnellson. Vernon Wirsig says the cattle have grown fond of the newcomer after an initial wary reception. In Lamont, Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Blair found their night disrupted by a power outage and phone failure. Blair alerted the light plant manager, fearing a hot wire, and the next morning Bill Houck questioned him about his midnight path near a 2,400 volt line.
