Montana, cruising along the San Diego freeway yesterday, came across a confusing scene a wild deer loose on the highway. He happened to have his lasso along.

Also at the scene was Ernest E. Wolfe, who gave this account: "Out of this Cadillac pulling a horse trailer, stepped this guy all dressed up in a western costume with a lasso in his hand. Boy, was I surprised." The deer, too, was surprised. Montana snagged it quickly and hustled it off the highway. "It shows the old West hasn't died yet," he said.
