The bird fiuttered and made considerable
noise and attracted the attention of one
OF the male birds.
Mr.. Bartell was about to catch the bird
by the legs. when he heard futter at
his side and before he was aware of its
intention the male bird had attacked him.
1t caught his free hand in its bill and
swinging itself OFF the ground struck him
with its gaffs The gaffs struck on each
side of his left hand, entering just at the
base of the thumb and the base of the
little finger,
to the bone on both sides. His index
finger was also badly lacerated by the
birds bill. His hand began to swell inn
mediately and for a time It was feared
that blood poisoning would set in but
careful precautions were taken and the
wound. although still very painful, Is not
considered dangerous.
