STAG VISITS CITY
A six-pointer stag made a visit to the city on Monday afternoon and provided some excitement for people who were occupying seats on Church Hill when it ran down one of the pathways and crossed the church steps, states a Nelson correspondent.
Frightened by the attention given to it by spectators, it raced along Nile and Tasman'Streets and was eventually captured near Normanby Bridge, in Bridge Street. The animal was later destroyed by its captor, as it had been badly bitten by a dog.
Evidently the stag was driven into the city by dogs, for residents in Brook Street first reported seeing it making its way towards the city.
