A six-pointer stag made a visit to Nelson recently and provided an interesting diversion for those persons who were occupying the seats on Church Hill, when it ran down one of the pathways and crossed the church steps. Frightened by the attention it was given by spectators it raced along Nile and Tasman streets and was eventually captured in the Nelson Paint Company’s building near Normanby bridge. Bridge Street. The animal was later destroyed by its captor, one of its legs having been fairly extensively injured by a dog’s bite. The stag was thought to have been driven down from the Fringe Hill by dogs.
