PARROT vANQUIsHEs MAN IN FIGHT
He Was to Get 10 Cents for Trouble-It
Was Worth More.

Without losing feather. big green parrot
knocked out a white man on Bergeniine-ave'
Union Hill, yesterday, and made the en-
barrassed individual regret that he ever prom

a sum as 10 cents. John Bennett, or NO
ola Humboldt-st.. was the man. The bird Is
owned by Mrs G.. E. Godmon, Of No 14S Blum
st.
Mrs Godmon took Polly for a stroll down
Bergeline-ave. yesterday afternoon, ana the
bird contrasted beautifully with the nght at
tire of its mistress. Polly chatted nolslly from
Mrs Godmons shoulder, but she soon craVed
excitement and became decidedly troublesome
in her attempts to scrutinize the new style hats
in a millinery store.
Ex-Assembiyman James Usher came along
and Mrs Godmon requested him to take Polly
home Mr.. Usher evidently knew the character
of the bird for he placed 10 cents In the palm
of John Bennett and asked him 10 act as his
substitute.
The minute Benefits hand went out to take
the bird she struck him with her beak and fol-
lowed UP her first blow with a jab on his nose
Polly then called her well kept talons into play
on Bennett's features With great difficulty
Bennett finally got away from the helngerent
parrot. Polly then strutted up and down the
sidewalk trumphantly, till her anger had
abated. She finally went home of her own
accord Bennett is under the care OF ply

shipped 10 New-YOrk and, on information
