Aunt Mays GIorious Finish.

embodiment OF the timid and shrinking,

A subject which has. exercised me this
summer has been as to what bird 1t is
/ with bill seemingly smaller than jays
which plumbers others nests, breaking and
sucking the eggs.
| In one small piece of hedge found one
blackbrds and two thrushes nests, all
treated In the same way, the three showing
among them the wreckage of eleven eggs,
all similarly pierced and emptied. The mis-
sci thrush has been suspected of the Of
Tense and in this case should suppose 1t
to be the missed thrush II 1t were not for
a pair OF butcher birds nestled in the same
hedge.
1t is perhaps unjust to suspect the
butcher bird on no better evidence than
Its mere proximity to the scene OF the
crime, and 1t may be questioned II the
shrike would dare to rife the nest OF
either a blackbird or a thrush. A sugges-
ton which l have not seen made and
which throw out only as a possibility Is
that the culprtt is no burglar, but neither
more or less than one of the parent birds

wyoming Ranchman Tells of the
AFFAIR mt the Big Red Ranch
which Has Attracted So
Much Attention.

Lee Moore, a prominent ranchman Of
Douglas, wyo.. is visiting in the city. the
guest OF John II. Tuthill Mr.. Moore Is
interested in the case of Miss Edna Irvine
the young woman who shot George H.
Knighton on the Letter Cattle company's
Big Red ranch. near Clearmont, on Sep
TENDER 4. Mr.. Moore's interest Is to the
extent Of long acquaintance with tho
young woman and her family, he having
been the one to teach Miss Irvine to ride
the range and throw the rope. That Miss
Irvine Is one Of natures noble women Mr.
Moore is willing to stake his last chip.
Miss Irvine Well Known.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Moore told the
following In connection with Miss Irvine
and the shooting:
II feel that anything l can say to have
Miss Irvines position in the shooting cor
rectly understood is my bounden duty. We
always called her Little Edna out our
way. BY nature she is talented and viva
cious. yet she has womanly modesty. not
withstanding her life with cowboys and on
the range. She is known throughout wyo-
ming. While with the Ogalalla outfit
Edna's father was general manager and ]
was foreman. 1t was i'm those days that l
taught the little miss how to- ride her
mount, and more apt pupil I never saw.
BY the way. her father sold Bill Paxton
the first stock he owned at the ogalalla
ranch,

"But what want to get down to is the
shooting. That man Knighton, we'll, you
know Is a tenderfoot and came his braga-
doccio over Miss Edna. She would not
stand for II. He's a lucky dog he Is not
dead. And then, the coward. to file a
charge against the woman. None but a
tenderfoot would file a charge against a
woman for shooting him. But l want to
tell you Miss Irvine was fully justified in
doing what she did in my opinion. Knish-
ton had been vexing Miss Irvine and her
mother for months. What girl with her
temperament would have stood It? AS for
carrying a pistol, why, that is part Of her
outfit. She could pick of a prairie chicken
while you were looking at it. 1 believe in
fair play, and l want to see that Miss
Irvine gets 1t in the newspapers, and l am
sure she will In this neck Of the woods"
