CAPTURE OF A PARROT-The
parrot or cockatoo from Balke's big
curio store set out yesterday to see the
town. Attracted by the glittering
three ball sign in front of II. Fried
mans emporium he perched on top of
it and became the center of attraction
in that section of Center street. Mr..
Friedman not wanting TO be mistaken
for bird fancier began maneuvering
for his emigration. The parrot show
ed no disposition TO fly elsewhere and
the crowd which gathered around Of
fered suggestions for his capture with
out bodily harm. That was not the
first puzzling proposition which had
ever been presented to Mr.. Friedman
and he made a quick dash at the bird
SELLING it at the same time by the
back of the neck and its wings drawn
across it's back. He was safe but a
man cannot stand holding a parrot
forever. Louie from across the street
came to relieve him and as Mr. Fried
man had the only two safe holds,
Louie had to find others. Mr..
Friedman released the bird and
Louie started away with him. The
parrot began eating him up and by
the time he reached the store with him
he was ready for the manipulation of a
surgeon.
