None of these birds are found in the
United States, but one of the largest
and finest is the Chilean plover. The
spur is situated just at the base of the
thumb, and, like the spurs on the legs
of other birds, consists of a sheath of
horn fitting closely ove a core of bone.
Some Of the spur-winged ployers have
1eshy wattles about the face, and there
is a curious relation between the size
Of the spur and the size of the waffle,
for when one is large the other Is cor
respondingly well developed, and when
the waffle is small the spur also is
small.
The pretty little Jacanas are among
the spur=winged birds; but there is a
group of Jacanas peculiar to Africa
which have no spurs on their wings,
and these present a curious modifica-
ton of the radius, so that this may
serve instead. The bone is fiattened
and widened until it somewhat re-
sembles an Australian throWing-stick
In miniature and projects so far beyond
the edge of the wing that it makes a
very effective little weapon with which
to buffet an adversary about the ears.
The spur-winged goose shows q vari-
alton in the making of a weapon by
having the spur III n of the wrist
bones instead of ON the metacarpus,
where it is usually placed. Nature has
provided some birds with a double
weapon, which makes them formida-

BIRDS WHICH
CARRY WEAPONS
A PlOver Which Has Spurs on the
Wings.

In the study Of natural history we
find that many birds, especially the
larger species, are endowed by nature
with most effective ean of defense,
such as lie in the strength of their
wings, claws or beak, and that they
can defend themselves or capture their
prey with great agility. 1t is not so
well known, however, that some birds
are possessed of a special weapon, a
sort of natural slung-shot, as it were,
In the shape Of a knob of bone on the
wrist. The wrist of a bird is at the
bend of the wing, and there is the place
where such a weapon would be most
effective.
Mr., Lucas, in "Bird Lore" gives an
interesting account of the tlightless SOL
Itaire, the bird that possesses this knob
of bone, and which was in reality a
big, oyergrown pigeon. When this par
ticular species was in existence it was
confined to the Island of Rodriguez,
where years ago the Frenchmen caught
him, and cooked him and ate him quite
out of existence. The bone of this
wing grows greater toward the ex-
tremity, and forms a little round mass
under the feathers as big as Il muskct
ball. They will not suffer any other
bird of their species to come within 200
yards.
Among well-armed birds may be
mentioned the gannet and heron. The
former could do much damage were he
Inclined with his wonderfully Keen
edged beak, while the thrust from the
bill of the blue heron would be power
ful enough to kill an adversary of the
same species. The ostrich, with his
hard kick, is well able to take care of
himself. .
Many game birds, as we know. are
provided with spurs on their legs;
while still other birds wear spurs upon
their wings. Several species of ployer
found in South America, India and
Africa have these wing-spurs. and very
sharp and effective spurs they are, too.

Carey has we'll earned his title OF
chief of the Hole-in-the-W Wall despera-
does. For years he deied pursuit, and
robbed and murdered through South
Dakota, Wyoming and Montana. He is
| almost the sole survivor of the old-time
Western highwaymen who held up
treasure coaches about DeadWood. A
truthful story of his adventures would
be a more thrilling tale than the his
tory Of many a dime novel hero. In
fact, many of the adventures OF Dead
wood Dick, so dear to the small boy OF
twenty years ago, are identical with
those of Laughing Sam Carey. 1t was
his band that rode into Spearf1sh, S. d.,
about ten years ago and robbed the
bank, while fighting the entire town.
So desperate was the battle that every
man in the gang, with the exception OF
Carey himself, was killed. Carey was
wounded, but succeeded, after adven-
lures rivaling those of Tracy. in reach
ing the Hole-in-the-Wall His claim'to
the leadership of the outlaws was soon
recognized, and he has kept the position
since.
Among the other notorious despera.
does who are hiding in the Hole are the
Taylor brothers, who were Under sem
tence Of death for numbering the Meeks
family, at CaFrollton, NO., and broke
jail; Hank Wilcox and Bud DensloW,
who are wanted for a train robbery on
the Union Pacific line, where the engi-
neer of the train was shot, and many
other desperate criminals who are
wanted for every crime in the calen-
dar, from larceny to triple murder.
But as long as they remain within the
walls of their natural fortress they
seem to be safe from all pursuit.
1t is estimated that the Hole-in-the-
Wall is inhabited by between fifty and
sixty men and a few women, who
train with them. The law of self-pres-
ervation has made a strong affinity
among them. The world is against
them, and they have banded them
selves for protection against the world.
Any attempt to capture one is resisted
by all. Within the Hole are several
ranches and farms, which are held as
common property. Some of the out
laws are skilled in surgery, and a
wounded criminal who once succeeded
in reaching the Hole is sure of good
treatment. Had Tracy been able to
elude his pursuers and arrive at the
entrance Of this criminals paradise, he
would havaNs been permanently safe,
and, after his exciting career, might
have died peacefully in his bed. q
To-day the Hole-in-the- Wallhfs as
much of a city of refuge for despera-
does as it was whentprotcted the
fleeing Sioux. 1t is an anomaly among
the rapidly growing towns and cities
of the Northwest. Some day an en-
trance will be forced, either through
the narrow gorge made by the Powder
River or over the precipitous mountain
trails. Then the outlaws will be driven
from their hiding. place to face death
or Imprisonment. But the forcing of
the entrance to the Hole-in-the-Wa Vail
will cost many lives.-Edwin J. Webs
ter, in the Brooklyn Eagle.

have not only the longest, sharpest
and strongest spurs of all birds, but
are provided with a second spur on the
lower part of the ~metacarpus. The
large spur is slightly lattened on the
side next the body, as wei, as gently
curved, and would seem capable Of
being driven quite through a mans
hand by a wing-stroke of SO large a
bird as the screamer. Fortunately,
this bird is said to be a fird Of peace,
and dwells in harmony among it's
fellows.

FOR GRAND CIRCUIT MEET
PROMINENT HORsEMEN MAY SECURE
DATES FOR THIS CITY.
Henry ID. Gentry, Sterling X. Holt,
Joseph III. Lcsh and Others Inter-
ested i'm the Movement.

Within a few days a meeting will prob
ably be held in this city by well-known
horsemen Of Indiana for the purpose of dis
GUESSING the advisability of giving Grand
Circuit trotting and pacing race meeting in
indianapolis next year Some of the best
known horsemen in this State who, in the
aggregate, have millions OF dollars invest
ed in horses and stock farms, are back of
the movement to revive the big races in this

Bloomington, owner of the great stud Nc
Kinney, and who has a fortune invested in
horses; Sterling r. Holt, of Indianapolis.
another heavy owner of racing stock;
Joseph II. Lesh, of Goshen, Hugh ]. Nc
Gowan and a few others interested in the

These men believe that by hanging up
purses such as offered in other Grand Cir
cult cities one of the best harness MEETINGS
in the country could be given at the State
fair grounds track next season. They point
with pride to the fact that Indiana is one
or the greatest breeding States in the
country and that Indiana polls has one OF
the best tracks in the country They will
invest their money in Grand Circuit meet
ing 10 increase interest in harness horses

In september for the meet next year. The
meet would come about two weeks before

could then stay here for the State fair
races.
The matter has been discussed thorough
ly, but tangible steps have not as yet been
taken TO arrange such a date.
