has arranged to have q large cage con-

meat three times day and a pigeon or
two each Sunday.
The capture OF the hawk was a great
relief Of the officials and watchmen Of the
Post Office Department. as Ii had caused
considerable trouble in the efforts to
keep IL from its perching place in the
post Office tower. The watchmen of the
department constructed various kinds Of
traps, and at last used snotguns in an
effort to end the life of the Baron but
to no avail. as he always managed to
escape. 1t was declared that the hawk
had charmed life.
The hawk had roasted in the tower OF
the post Office building for some years
His principal diet had been carrier
pigeons. which, becoming tired after
days long flight, lighted on the tower
to rest for the night, only to be devoured
by the Baron.
Baron would desert his roosting place
in the tower about June each year and
would not be seen again until September
or October.
