Upon going to gather up the eggs at
the barnyard a week ago Saturday
evening, A. E. Johnson's little boy
found carrier pigeon that had
alighted and seemed very tired, ap.
parently having made a long fight. 1t
proved to be quite tractable, so the boy
carried it to the house, where it was
given water and food, partaking Of
both with the greatest of avidity. A
broad silver band encircled its left leg
and gold band its right leg. On the
silver band was engraved "No. $780,"
on the outer side; on the gold band on.
the under side were initials, presum.
able of the owner. No message was
found on the bird and no clue as to the
whereabouts of the owner. It is fine
specimen of its species, measuring %
inches from tip to tip of wings. These
carrier pigeons, or homing pigeons, as
they are sometimes called, have been
known to carry messages distance of
1000 miles or more and return to their
homes. In drinking, they keep their
bills in the, water until through not
at intervals MS do most birds. !
Mr.. Johnson's residence is a mile and
q half west Of Allendale, where several
people have been to see the
carrier pigeon since its arrival. Grant
