Invulnerable Wyoming white deer finally killed
The lone white deer famed for its sacred status in Wyoming has been killed. It was the only white deer known, with pink eyes and no pupils, regarded by Indians as sacred. Hunters in the West valued it like the white elephant, while Indians viewed killing one as a sin. A separate Mitchell county murder involved Ulysses Wilson and John Johnson attempting to grab a guard’s gun. Wilson claimed kinship to Jie Wilson, a claim the paper disputes.
