PIGEON CAUSES Her DEATH
Pet Missing Several Months Is Found
Blocking Up the Stovepipe
in Owners Room.

In the Wiltshire village of Zeals,
England, a death has been caused by
Il pet pigeon. Two young women liv-
ing at the rectory were found uncon-
scious in their bedroom on Monday
morning. One OF the girls, Miss MauC
Of Southampton, was dead before the
doctor arrived. but the other revived
after some time. 1t appears that a
fire had been lighted overnight in a
small stove which was connected with
tho main chimney by a iiue. The girls
retired to rest noticing nothing except
that the fire smoked considerably.
When the stove was removed for in
vesLisation the body of Il pet pigeon
which has been missing for some
months. was found blocking the pipe.

dri?en back into the bedroom. The
coroner's jury returned a Verdict of
