WEDNESDAY EVENING. SEPT. 20, 1899

ROUTED BY AN OsTRICH.-A dispatch
from Jacksonville, Fla, says: Napo-
leon, the big bird at the ostrich farm, has
proved itself valuable sentinel in de-
tending the pheassnts and other fine
fowls in the enclosure. 1t huge bird,
weighing some 400 pounds, is pugna-
cious in disposition and thinks it can
whip anything in sight. Some of the
negroes living near the farm have
cast longing eyes at the fat pheasants,
thinking they would be equal to juicy
turkeys. The other night some OF them
crept into the enclosure and got near
the pheasants' cage before Napoleon
observed them. Then with shrill
harsh hiss the bird raised its wings and
rushed at them. The negroes yelled
for help and rushed to the fence to IS
cspe. Napoleon helped them over In
fine seyle. One of them was severely hurt
bv the birds sharp claws. The negroes
fled. while Napoleon paced up and
down the enclosure, Kissing with anger
and exultation. The next morning
shreds of clothing were fl und in album
dance, while the blood around showed
that Napoleon had hurt the intruders.
Every night now the big bird patrols
the yards, marching along like 8 senti-
mel on duty.
