Withee (15 December 1960)

Mrs. Veryl Auberg and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Bernard Auberg, both of Withee, were returning from a trip to Eau Claire Saturday evening when, approximately four miles west of Cadott on 29 two deer suddenly ran in front of the car. One succeeded in crossing the other one was struck and killed as Mrs. Veryl Auberg swerved the car to avoid it. The car received a broken headlight, but the deer was killed.  While this was transpiring two motorists passed, one going east and one going west but neither bothered to stop.  Luckily, a garage was nearby where authorities ere notified and the headlight was repaired.  Both women were badly frightened and shaken by the accident, and Veryl thinks it’s a round-about and uncomfortable way to get a deer.
