A HALF-BREED HOMER.
Ordinary Pigeon Flew From Coffey-
Vile to Atchison, 200 Miles.


vile to Atchison, 200 Miles.
The Atchison Globe is authority for
the following pigeon story:
"Some time ago Mrs. c. Jochems
shipped four ordinary pigeons from
Atchison to her married daughter at
Coffeyville, where rats killed one of
the pigeons, and the other three were
released. The one that was the mate
of the pigeon killed by the rats be-
came very lonesome and mourned for
its old home in Atchison, and left Cof-
feyville one Thursday and arrived in
Atchison. the following Saturday, and
was found waiting. at the gate of the
pigeon pen in the Jochems yard. 1t
had flown the entire distance from
CoffeyvilIe to Atchison, and evidently
was SO anxious to get back to Atchison
it did not stop very long on the way
to eat. At least, it was half starved
when it reached Atchison. It was
taken to Coffeyville on the train, but
instinctiveIy knew the direction toward
home. 1t was penned up in Coffeyville
three days before it had chance to
attempt the fight. Coffeville is about
900 miles from Atchison. The pigeon
was not a carrier, but a half-breed
homer"
