City Treasurer Hacheney IS one Of
those old-flshiOned men who get up first
i'm the morning. build fires. and make
some coffee for the rcfreshment OF him
self and the others as they turn out
Monday evening he laid the fire I'm the
kitchen stove as usual. before going 10
bed. Yesterday morning when he opened
the stove door TO apply a match 20 the
klnding he was startled by vicious
swapping and the sight Of some hideous.
sooty-looking goblin. with huge eyes and
ears. which caused him 10 jump halt way
across the kitchen and imagine the devil
or one Of his imps had taken possession
Of the stove. On recovering his equanim-
ity. he made an investigation and found
that a gray owl had found its way down
the chimney through the stove pipe and
draught into the stove Mr.. Hacheney
could hardly believe his senses, and at
first imagined that some one had been
playing a belated April fool trick on
him. but the disclaimers Of all the family
and the fact that the owl was literally
covered with SCOT and ashes convinced
him that the bird had come down the
chimney. Morning Oregonian.
