There Is Mcry possibility that the fatal shot was fired nt the 'supposed deer nnd not at tho man, according to Ihoie who have been at Ihe scene of the shooting. Taylor was dressed In khaki-trousers nnd hat and grey shirt and was passing through dense brush wlien j hot. It Is not improbable, It la Minted, that the niuu who tired tho shot came to the scene suddenly, heard a noise, saw Ihe deer's head as It waa carried on Taylor's shoulder, and fired. Thu mun, whoever ho is, evldeutly did not go to see what hud become) of his victim, It Is said, as no footprints were found near the body, the theory being that on re ilUtng his mistake the slayer left the spot fearing to report tho shooting, to the authorities.

Mr. Mosessohn said that if the man ufacturers of dresses were to operate on a basis of profit equal to the fig ure in other industries, the cost of dresses would be much higher than they are today and would shock 'the average woman who wants to buy one.
