The most thrilling event we have
to record this week is the destruction
of Geo. Parker's pet owl 1t strayed
away Tuesday to a neighbOring shed
and was quietly enjoying a siesta
when Supervisor Redmond appeared
with his team, and on seeing this
"bird of wisdom" jumped from his
wagon and rushed into Gov. Pages
house, shouting; "There's wild
owl out here; get your gunl" The
ophilus, bent on destroying the noe
turnal bird, seized a rife. There he
isl' shouted the Supervisor, and
the young man fired-not once, or
twice, but six times-and finally the
bird, unable longer to bear up under
the load of lead planted in it's body,
toppled over dead. Just then a
small boy who had quietly witnessed
the affray, piped out: "l'll bet that
was Geo Parker's pet owlP' and all
at once it came into the minds of the
Supervisor and the slayer that that
wild owl was neighbor Parker's pet
bird. which had been sent to him re-
Gently from Canada. George placed
high value on him-not so much for
its intrinsic worth as for the many
pleasant associations connected with
it-and, of course, greatly laments
this method of it's demise. At present
John is Cooking up the law" but
rests content in the belief that
the public has a right to annihilate
wild owls. 1t is said that Mr.. Parker
will strongly demand the repeal of
the school law as the 'bird of wis
dom" has been willfully Stayed at
the instigation of the Supervisor.
