A Rare Bird.

Recently very fine specimen
of wild turkey was killed near
the headwaters of the Tecolate
and brought to Las Vegas for
sale. It weighed when dressed
fifteen pounds. says the Record.
These birds are becoming more
scarce every year, and now bring
a high price on the market.
Thirty years ago they sold on
the streets for 25 cents each.
It is interesting to know that
Hernando Cortez, who made the
conquest of Mexico in 1919, des-
cribes the wild turkey as indi-
| genous to the western hemi-
sphere. The Encyclopedia Rri-
tannica says that no one knows
how it came by this name for it
is certain that this valuable bird,
came from the new world and in
its introduction had nothing to
do with Turkey Or the Turks.
In 1872 Josselyn, IN speaking Of
New England rarities, describes
the wild turkey as easily domes-
ticated and in great numbers
throughout Massachusetts. Alb
bots history of Cortez sta tes
that the wild species of Turkey
was sent to Spain from America
and after being domesticated
there was brought back to
America by pilgrims in 1920.

Capt. JinEs Shot.

W. e. jerks, while driving
with P. r. Page to his home
from Puerto de Luna, on Tues
day evening, was fhot through
the lungs by a Mexican, This
is the result of an old feud be-
tween the two men and was
brought to a focus by Captain
jerks refusal to speak to this
Mexican until he had paid him
the bill that was due.
It seems that the quarrel took
place IN the town of Puerto de
Luna, and the Mexican, going
out on the road on which Page
and jerks would travel, waited
for them, standing in the middle
of the road. AS soon as they
came up to him he pulled A.
calibre revolver and fired, the
shot grazing the horses head
and striking the captains wrist.
The horses began running and
two more shots were fired after
them, one passing entirely
through jerks body. Mr.. Page
brought him to this city, arriv-
ing last evening, for medical
treatment, and with the excep-
tion of being very weak he is
thought to be in no great danger.
Mr.. Page explains that tins is
the first time that Captain jerks
was ever shot and it naturally
made him a little nervous. Las

A report went over the wires
Monday night that Under Sheriff

escape, and Joe being crippled
up with rheumatism, was not in
a condition to give chase with
any hope of overtaking him, and
with a hope of bringing him to
a halt. fred several shots in the
