Mr.. Carrow. The latter identified
the goods found on the men as his
property. The pair, together with
third man arrested with them, were
taken to Dover for trial. In the
meantime the Federal authorities
who had been working on the Green

QUAIL TAME FROM STARVATION
Blizzard Has Driven Them From Their
Haunts Into Civilization.

Ever since the Christmas blizzard
many crows and hawks have been
driven into civilization for food and
in some cases quail have become very
tame and glad to get what food is
thrown out to them. In a yard over
at Salem, N. j., are two quail which
have been harboring there since
Christmas. They are fed daily by the
occupants of the house. In the rear OF
the Nelson House a covey of birds has
made its home since the blizzard
and from other parts of Salem come
the reports of quail and other birds
seeking shelter and food.
