buzzards, and at once built a very

captured a buzzard.
He then took one Of his shirts and
fitted it on to the buzzard, cuttingof the
sleeves and putting tho birds wings
through the arm holes, lie cut off
the front tail of the shirt and sewed
.he garment firmly TO the buzzard's
body, after which he liberated the
bird. The bird Tapped his wings and
flew up into the air, the tail Of tho
shirt 0%uttering behind him as he flew.
About twenty-five crows followed
after the straT 30 looking object, and
the buzzard vas pecked and knocked
about at a terrible rate.

found the buzzard a mile away, hud.
