THE REAL AMERICAN BIRD.
The Turkey Is Foreigner Everywhere
But In America.

The turkey rather than the eagle,
is the real American bird. Eagles are
found all over the world, but the tur-
key is foreigner everywhere else,
except in America, his native home.
The wild turkey of America is the
progcnitor of all the turkeys in the
world. In North America. Mexico. and
Honduras the turkey was found in
great numbers by the white men. but
in South America the bird is unknown
Learned men are agreed that the tur-

only as an immigrant, and that his
native home must be sought some

SQUIRE Lovett A Hero

One of the most exciting arrests
recently witnessed, disturbed the quiet
of last Sunday afternoon. A two horse
spring wagon, carrying thirteen young
Italians, who were supplied with too
much 'oh-be-joyfur', passed through
the town. After a number of citizens
had been disturbed Squire Lovett was
notified to arrest the party. He ran
into the street, caught the bride of
one of the horses and stopped the
team. The men lashed the animals,
causing them to spring forward and
make escape possible.
Mr.. Lovett decided not to allow the
men to escape, and summoned assist
ance. Albert Stiltz, William Morrison,
Robert Jones. William Vansant and
Delaware Lovett accompanied him.
About three miles down the road
the team was overtaken and the chase
began in earnest The four men who
were in the wagon gave up, but all the
others, who were on the ground, ran
in every direction. The pursuing
party had armed themselves with two
revolvers and Magistrate Lovett with
one of these stood guard over his
prisoners while the others endeavored
to follow the fugitives.
One of the fellows, in desperation,
jumped into White Clay Creek, only
to turn and find himself locking into
the muzzle OF the second revolver. hf-
ter a struggle he was captured,
The men were given hearing, and
each ives fined S. and costs. The
other eight escaped, but all are known
| to the police and warrants have been
| issued for their arrest.
