The ostrich Kick.

When farmer goes into savage
birds camp he takes with him
thorn pole, with branch or two of
the thorn bush left on the end. This
is called "tuck, and when the tuck
is applied to the ostrich's neck or
head (nis tender points, he is almost
invariably subdued, and, after one or
two efforts to escape, bolts furiously
off to the other side of the camp,
where he races up and down to vent
his baffled rage. If, no xever, the
bird gets near enough to his oppo
nent to give the so-called kick, he
lifts his bony leg as high as his body
and throws it forward with demoni-
aca1 grotesqueness, and brings it
down with terrible force. His object
Weekly Phoenix herald. [volume] (Phoenix, Maricopa County, Ariz. Territory [Ariz.]) 1882-1896, 1883-01-05

is t. rip the enemy down with his
dangerous claw, but in most cases it
is the fat bottom of his foot which
strikes, and tie kick is dangerous
as much from Its sheer power as
from its lacerating effects. 1t Is a
movement of terrible velocity and
power, at all events. Several in
stances may be mentioned of herd
boys being thus either wounded,
manned, or killed outright. One
case occurred near GRAFT Reinet, in
which horse had his back broken
by single blow. In this case the
bird had underworld to kill the rider,
but missed him and struck the horse.
Many persons have been set upon
by birds when there was no shelter,
not even a tree to run to. In such Il
case, if the pursued we're acquainted
with struthious tactics, he would lie
down fiat on the ground, where the
bird finds it impossible to strike him.
But even this is no light matter, for
some birds in their rage at being BAT
fed of their kick, will roll over their
PROSTATE enemy, believing with fury
and trampling upon him in the most
fashion. One man
who thus attempted tbs lying
1own plan found that every time he
attempted to sise the bird would re-
urn and stand sentry over him till

Not having written for some time /
will endeavor to speak Of the pleasant
times here Christmas and of what it
consisted. A christmas tree being a
prominent feature, gotten up by the
Sunday school children assisted by
Supt. R. Boyington and Mrs. P. A.
Brown. A handsome evergreen tree
being secured and placed in the school
house and decorated by the fine taste
of Mrs. Brown. The walls wers also
adorned by such appropriate words as
Happy greeting to all" merry
Christmas" etc. The presents were
brought in the day previous and when
placed upon the tree was beautiful
sight to look at, there being many and
some very costly presents. At Z
o clock p. m. the doors were opened
and soon the seating capacity was
exhausted and many had to stand up
The entertainment was opened by
singing Happy Greeting to All. fol-
lowed by prayer from Rev. J. A.
Brown and few appropriate remarks
from Rev. Dawes and the Hon. Geo.
Hlles, after which the presents were
distributed to as fine and happy a
crowd as one could wish TO look upon.
| will not speak of the many presents
and who received them. But suffice
it to say the Sunday School Supt.,
Rev. j. A. Brown and Elder Dawes
were we'll remembered. The enter
tainment concluded by singing after

Few people who read daily news
paper have any idea of the amount OF
labor, time and money expended on
each issue. The Milwaukee Sentinel
is to-day the largest and most complete
daily paper published in she north
west. 1t has recently added $50, 600
worth of new material which includes
their new web perfeeting press and re-
modelled their magnificent building To
accommodate their improvements.
Some time ago the Sentinel promised
its readers an enlarged paper and they
have kept their word January LIST
the first number of the enlarged sheet
made its appearance and is now IN
questionably the best paper in the
northwest We recommend it to our
readers above all others. 1t contains
the latest news from the four points of
the compass, arriving in this city and
vicinity ahead of most all others.
The Sentinel has a good circulation
here and it is deserving Of = much
larger one. Every business msu of
