DEER KILLS
YOUNG HUNTER
George Buxton of Brockway,'
Gored to Death By Buck He
Had Shot.
ROSEBURG, Ore., Sept. 30.
While hunting in the head of Blue
Canyon, In the Olalla country, 25
miles southwest of this city, George
Buxton, aged 24 years, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Wm. Buxton, of Brockway,
was gored and killed by a largo buck
deer, which he had wounded. Bux
ton took the life of the deer with
a final shot from his rifle, of 30-30
calibre. His body was recovered by
a party of searchers two days later,
and carried to his home at Brock
way. Examination of Buxton's body re
vealed the fact that he had bled to
death from a severed artery in his
upper leg. The wound had been
made by the horn of a buck deer
which lay dead near the bottom of
the canyon, about CO yaids below
him. The deer weighed about 100
pounds. His set of antlers were
comprised of four prongs on a side,
and one of these prongs was stained
with blood for several Inches, show
ing that this was the one which the
infuriated animal had thrust into
Buxtons leg and severed the artery.
In the deer's body were three bul
let wounds. One in the thigh, anoth
er in the neck and a third behind the
shoulders, In close proximity to the
heart. Half way between the spot
where the, deer lay and the place
where Buxton's body was found was
a blood stained and disturbed patch
of ground, evidencing the fact that
a struggle had taken place there, af
ter Buxton had stunned the deer by
the shot through the neck. Had his
first shot been the one that passed
through the deer's body behind the
shoulders, the tragedy would never
have occurred because it undoubted
ly killed the animal almost Instantly.
An unopened clasp knife at the
scene of the battle Indicates that
Buxton, supposing the deer to be
dead after the first and second shots,
Intended to follow the custom of
hunters by cutting the animal's
throat so that It would bleed prepa
ratory to being dressed. Before he
could open the knife, however, the
buck sprang to Its feet and attacked
him. This fact Is borne out by a
gash on Buxton's left arm and an
other on his left ankle, both made
either by the animal's horns or its
razor-like hoofs. Then there was the
fatal thrust through the artery in
the left leg, but as the deer sped
down the canyon, Buxton ended Its
life with a parting shot from his
rifle. That this shot killed the deer
instantly is shown by its position
when found. It was lying behind
a log, almost flat on Its back.
After slaying the deer, Buxton
started to crawl up the side of the
canyon, but when within a short dis
tance of the top expired from loss of
blood. When found he was lying
face downward, his rifle by his side.
He had bandaged the wound on hiB
ankle, but had neglected to stop the
flow of blood from the severed ar
tery by binding his leg. This was
probably due to excitement and
weakness. The onslaught of the
wounded deer must have been wholly
unexpected by him, as he told Mr.
Smith during their conversation on
the ridge of the canyon that ho had
never killed a deer in his life.
