 5 Caught Crows in His Hand
 o. J. Olson, who is employed at the Johnson, Lindell sash and blind factory holds the record as a crow catcher. Monday afternoon about 6:30 his at- tention was attracted by commotion in the direction of the woods back of his boarding place. Several crows were en- gagged in a heated argument, or what appeared to be free fight. Taking his gun, MT. Olson thought he would settle : the dispute, and started after the "scrappers. They were so intent upon their own business that they paid no at- tention to their pursuer until he was within too close range for target prac- = tice. Although the crowd dispersed as he drew nearer there still remained the two ''star actors" so completely mixed , up with each other that it was only 5 necessary to reach down with one hand and pick them up. MT. Olson has the two birds now in confinement and says he expects to tame them.
