cASSowARIEs IN A FIGHT.
The Only Bird, Excepting the 0ss
trich, That Can Kick with
Fatal Eject.

Although the cassowary in captiyi.
tremely tractable and docile, he in
terrible when aroused.
A notable popularity of this bird
is that if any particular object at
tracts his attention he win perform
a sort of war dance over it. This
happened at the zoo when one of the
cassowaries, which are confined in
cages near the main entrance, lighted
upon gaudy piece of ribbon blown
inside the bars from the hat or dress
OF some woman visitor.
He was one of the smallest of the
collection, but he was of martial
disposition. After having carefully
examined the ribbon he started his
war dance and kept il up with great
vigor for some minutes. just while
he was at the height of his enjoy
ment a large cassowary came up and
iEterfered with him.
He stood this for some time, but
when the larger bird attempted to
oust him from the spot in order that
he in turn might prance about the
ribbon he resented the intrusion in
NO uncertain style.
Kicking out vigorously on all sides,
craning his neck, swapping his beall,
elongating his body and hitting inn
sginary blows with the horny mass
which cassowaries carry on the tops
of their heads, and which is called
the helmet, he seemed to bid defiance
60 all comers. e.nt
The larger cassowary, thinking APP
parently that he could treat the DEM
onstrations of the lightweight with
contempt, commenced hustling the
latter. says the London Express. The
two were ill-matched as regards
height. one of them being about five
feet high and the other a foot or
more shorter. but the battle which
ensued showed that weight and
height win not always tell.
Forward kicks were the main fea-
fure of the fight. The cassowary. it
is believed, is the only bird. except
perhaps the ostrich. which uses this
method Of attack and defense. and
the way cassoWary can KICK would
warm the heart of French boxer
He can kick straight out like a man.
or he can do the high kick like any
music hall star.
At first the blows were delivered
chiefly on the breast, and didn't hurt
much. but eventually the small bird
Knocked the other one out with a
masterlv stroke. delivered by the
long sharp claw Of the inner toe on
the wattles of its antagonist.
No fatal injury was done. but the
shock must have been terrific. for the
big bird uttered peculiar cry and |
retired in confusion TO its corner.
while the victorious one resumed its
war dance. It also had been severe
ly punished.

Atchison, May 21.-The whereabouts

worried Early in the spring he went
to Wyoming to enter the cattle bust
ness with a young man by the name of
VIII Hackbury, with whom he had be-
come acquainted upon two previous
trips. He wrote regularly to his moth
er until the third of last month, when
he congratulated her upon her birth
day. Since then nothing has been heard
from him.
A few weeks ago a letter was receiv
ed by his mother, from a man in Wy
Orning. signing himself T. E. Mcbride
stating young Everest was going off on
a trip to be gone three months. AS S.
800 had just been sent Everest, the
mother became uneasy and wrote to
find out if such a man as Mcbride lived
there. A reply stated that no such man
was ever known to reside there
Further Investigations are now on
foot and unless some information as to
his whereabouts is learned. a family
friend will be sent to Wyoming at once
Aaron Everest was the grandson of the
late Colonel A. s. Everest, who until his
death, a few years ago, was general at

in the state Young Everest is the heir
of his grandfather and is very wealthy.
His father, Frank Everest, who was al
so well known. died in Kansas City.
