A partridge few against the Para
disc house in Stamford Thursday and
dropped from the side OF the house to
the piazza. He did not seem to be
hurt but instead Of flying away IL
walked to the foot OF tree aud stood
looking around. Mr. Paradise S daugh
ter who sat near window where the
partridge struck the house, called the
attention OF her father to the bird but
he had loaned his gun and 1t seemed
as though the bird would have to be
let 90. as last resort Mr. Paradise
took his cane, crept up behind the tree
and struck the bird killing blow. 1t
was queer way TO get a partridge
and Mr. Paradise is probably the only
man in this part OF the country who
ever killed one with cane. Having
bought half Of the carcass Of buck
that was shot in Stamford the other
day and dubbed pertridge TO death,
Mr. Paradise is prepared to cater to
patrons demanding game dinners!
