One of the prizes shot during the hunting season just closed was that of a white deer, killed near Lalysmith, Sawyer county, Wis.
    A man bought it for $200. It will, if properly mounted, be worth $600 to $800.
    The extra value of the white deer is due to the fact that it is exceptionally rare. It is a freak animal. One was shot in Wisconsin about twenty years ago and one about eight years ago. Besides the one shot last week there is but one other white deer known to exist.
    It is also stated that there is a jet black deer of huge proportion stalking through the Wisconsin woods. That sort of deer also is a freak and would be worth much if captured.
