JAMES K. IDEAS.

Again death has removed another Of
our elderly people, James Deas, on
Wednesday night, April Is, at the age
OF Y. He was native of New Jersey.
In early life he went West to Califor-
MIA being for time post-rider carry
Ing the mails over the wild unsettled
country on horseback, where imminent
Danger to life was always present, and
he could narrate many close escapes
from bodily harm. He was soldier
OF the Mexican war and was among
the pensioners Of that war for loyal
service to the country. For many
years Mr. Deas was on the ocean as a
seaman, being mate on several large
sailing vessels doing business be-
tween New York and foreign ports
when he encountered perils not only
OF the sea but mutinous crews no less
dangerous than those upon the lone
some trails on the plains. For quite a
number OF years he had lived in Bridge
port and had been engaged in business
as an engineer, being chief engineer
Tor a number Of seasons at Smiths
Colonial Theater where he was so we'll
known. ABOUT three years ago he
came to this village and bought the
Roswell Nichols homestead and made
many improvements on the house and
had plans for other. work which
would have been completed this sum-
mer II he had lived. Mr. Deas was a
very social and friendly man and his
very unusual knowledge of exciting ex-
perlenceS, In such varied life as his
gave ample supply of most interesting
and thrilling account of adventure.
Few men have lived for so long a time
In such constant contact with danger
and temptation and prove themselves
true and upright in life and act, to the
end as did the deceased. There were
dence on Sunday conducted by Rev Mr.
Dikeman, pastor of the Methodist
church, who spoke very kindly of Mr.
Deas. Afterwards the remains were
taken to Bridgeport and the funeral
service was held in the Universalist
church on Fairfield avenue of which
deceased was member. The pastor.
Rev F. A. Dillingham;, spoke very feel
tngly Of the life and character of Mr.
Deas. The burial was in Park ceme-
terry where the St Johns lodge of Free
Masons had full charge of the service
and interment, the deceased having
been member of this lodge. There
were were many floral offerings showing the
Masonic emblem of roses and lilies
from st Johns lodge, wreath Of i'm
mortelles from Mrs Ackerson and
daughter, Mrs Sherman, bouquet of
beautiful Gala lilies from Mr. and Mrs
2. Tilley, wreath of hyacinths from Mr.
and Mrs Henry1Wyley, bouquet of
pinks from Miss Kennedy, sheaf OF
wheat from his wife, pillow of roses,
iil1es and hyacinths with the word,
"Father," from Mr. and Mrs Charles
Deas and boquet Of daffodils from Mr.
and Mrs CHARLES Deas, Jr. Mrs Deas
would express her thanks through The
BEE to her neighbors who were so
thoughtful during the sickness and at
the funeral Of her husband.

A SHOT IN THE NICK OF TIME.

For the past two weeks in the
neighbOrhOOd of the eastern part of
the borough the hawks have done con-
siderable damage to the little broods
Of early chicks. The women folks say:
''1f | could get hold of that hawk l
would wiring his neck" Others say:
IF l only had gun L would shoot the
darned thing" H. G. Judd, Jr., has
met with the worst kind Of luck in
chicks had been reduced to bakers
dozen when he got little satisfaction
out of the hawk. Last Sunday morn
ing when the sun was we'll up in the
east he fed and let out his remaining
little flock of chicks and stepped back
under cover for few minutes pose
with two charges of No. shot ready
for use. Directly Cooper hawk came
in sight and soon lit on a tree for a
moment and then like flash swooped
down and made off with a chick in his
talons. His upward flight was too
Slow and we'll directed charge Of shot
ended his career. Our quiet neighbor-
hood may be little startled by re-
port on Sunday morning but no one
haSa bit of Sympat thy for a chicken
thief. The Cooper hawk at this season
of the year is one of the most destruc-
tive of the hawk!species,a and is one of
the greatest among poultrymen. When
young. chicks are allowed to run at
large :or away from the mother hen
they become an easy prey to the Coop
er hawk. This hawk when once baited
will make daily round of every poul-
try yard in a neighborhood. If not
successful in one yard it goes to an
other and continues to come as long
as the supply lasts or until the breed
ing season is over, when they feed on
young birds, frogs, etc. The Cooper
hawk is in full plumage at the age of
four years. His color then is a dark
blue or lead color on back and wings,
beneath the wings and the under part
Of the body the color is light gray.
This bird is strong flyer and is d lit
tie larger than the wild pigeon. When
among the chickens he is fearless of
man; he often lights on fence post
and sometimes on the ground and sell
ects his game Which is usually a
white colored chick, and be seldom
