Crow Lived Many Years

George McCarren. a farmer living

much priced little aluminium plate
marked as follows: Return to
George McCarren. Orrville, Ohio"
with which an interesting story is con
nected.
George McCarran. Sr., father Of the
man who received the Ettle billet OF
aluminium, was an eccentric natural
list, and spent much time in the study
of birds and insects. During McCar-
rens youth, about twenty years ago.
he says he remembers being told by
his father, the elder McCarren, Of
dispute the latter had had with fell
low naturalist of Akron. Ohio, as to
the age to be attained by common
crow, and finally to settle the matter
McCarren attached an aluminium tag
to a crow captured in the fields and
sent the bird forth with the plate Sc
curely fastened to its neck by wires.
The legend on the plate requested the

finder to return 1t to McCarren in case
anything should happen to the bird.
As McCarren. Jr.. remembers II. the
two men made bet as to whether
the plate would be returned within
twenty years. II the crow were killed
or died they counted on the little bill

dress on the plate. If this we're not
returned they believed it would be
sufficient evidence that the bird would
be still alive. McCarren bet that the
plate would not be returned within
that time; hence he won the bet The
crow was shot by farmer boy named
Anglers in Holmes county last week.
and the billet returned TO the son OF
the bettor, the elder McCarren having
died before he could realize the pro-
ceeds and the satisfaction Of winning
