He tried to go into the barn once, but the bird made a lunge for him. and he ran out frightened. His father also went into the barn, but had to run to save his life.
 The next day there was too much ex- citemcnt. There was sound of break ing glass. and the next minute that big bird poked his head out through the barn roof and gave out a threatening cry. Then terrific blows were dealt against the sides of the barn from the inside, and the boards flew off in splinters in every direction. The people were now chained with horror to the place.
