VICTORIA, Mexico, April MAR
tin Holts, an American, who establish
ed parrot ranch near Victoria a few
years ago, has met with wonderful sue
cess and has accumulated a fortune
in the business. 1t is probably the only
parrot ranch in the world: it is cer-
tainly the only one in Mexico.
Holts was employed for several
years as a passenger conductor on the
old Monterey and Mexican Gulf Rail-
road, now part of the Mexican Cen
tral system. His division was between
Victoria and the port of Tampico. on
the Gulf coast, through the heart of
the parrot country. He was always
interested in the bright colored birds,
and while running as conductor he
collected many of them and taught
them to talk English. There were
many tourists trayeling up and down
his line and he did a good side busi-
ness by selling the birds to Americans
and others.
The thought then occurred to Holts
that he might make more money by
retiring from railroad work and de-
voting his time to raising parrots. He
followed this plan and purchased a
large tract of forest land near Vic
toria which was teeming with wild
parrots. He fitted UP the ranch in a
unique way. Wire netting was placed
around and over the trees and the
birds were confined therein. He has
had the greatest success in raising the
birds.
II is in teaching the parrots to talk
that Holts has had his most unique
success. He is a linguist, speaking
English, Spanish, French and German
fiuently. He divided his flock of sew
eral thousand birds into four classes
one for each language. He then
set to work to teach them to talk. AT
the end of few months Holts had
taught a number of birds English,
Spanish, German and French and the
educated birds were placed in their
theory that by doing this the educated
birds would teach their companions to
talk. His hopes were. realized to the
fullest extent. He says that at the
end of the first year he had several
hundred educated parrots.
Holts believes that the standard of
intelligence of parrots can be greatly
increased by proper attention to
breeding them. In his collection of
parrots, which now number several
thousand. he has several which are
seemingly possessed of reasoning pow
ers These educated birds have been
Taught to carry on conversation
with each other. This conversation, in
which each bird knows its part
thoroughly, covers nearly thirty min
utes of time.

FREIGHT TRAIN
KILLS LABORER
Accident at Yards in An
tioch Brings Death to One
Man and Injury to Another
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ANTIOCH. April 2.-One man lost
his life and another was badly injured
in the Santa Fe yards here to-day.
William Hewitt, a laborer, and
Charles A Sweeney were walking be-
tween the rails OF the Lumber and
Distillery Company's spur track in
the east end of the railroad yards. A
freight train ran to the extreme end
of the yard to spot an oil car for the
Distillery Company. The car was
coupled to the front of the engine.
While it was being showed down the
spur at an ordinary rate of speed sew
eral warning signals were given, but
the men paid no attention to them
Before the car could be stopped it
struck Hewitt, killing him instantly.
The brakeman managed to save the
life of Sweeney by reaching out ahead
of the car and throwing him off the
track.
Sweeney lost a finger and was badly
bruised. He has wife and two
children. His injuries are not con-
sidered serious. Hewitt was single.
He resided on an ark near the rail-
road Yards.
