MURDER DONE BY A BIRD.
Orloie Resents Captivity by killing on Its
Young.
ITO BE CONTINUED


Orlole Resents Captivity by killing on Its
Young.
1t has been claimed by observers OF
birds that some Of the feathered tribe
will feed their young If they are Gagged,
and II they fail after certain time to
release them they will bring them q
poisoned weed to eat that death may
end their captivity. A few days ago,
at the lIolstein ranch, says the Carson
(Ncv.) Appeal, the children captured
nest of three young orioles, and they
we're Immediately Gagged and hung in
a tree. The mother was soon about,
calling her young, and in little while
brought them some worms. She con-
tinued feeding them regularly for some
days without seeming to pay much at
tention to persons about. But on Sun
day came the tragic ending that de-
monstrated the theory relative to birds.
She brought them n sprig Of green on
Sunday morning and disappeared. In
less than an hour they oil died. The
sprig was examined and proved to be
the deadly larkspur, weed that will
kill full-grown cattle. The little crea-
lures lay dead in the cage and slightly
foamlng at the mouth, victims OF their
mothers stern resolve that her on
spring should die by her own act rather
than live in captivity.
