The wild-eyed backwoodsman from
Twenty-fifth street and Fifth avenue
who hurried into The Argus Office yes
terday afternoon bearing the tidings
of the escape of the crate full of
chickens at the Shields grocery store
came in again today with more news
He appeared a little ashamed about
something at first, and it developed
that he had made mistake in declar-
ing the escaped fowls were chickens.
He apologized and said that they were
SO high up in the air when he saw
them that he hadn't noticed that they
were turkeys. When he had gotten
over his embarrassment on this score,
he told with the enthusiasm of true
hunter how he and Mr.. Shields had
followed the trail Of the escaped birds
until every one had fallen before their
unerring aim. Mr.. Shields had finally
gained permission from the city au-
thorities to murder the rebellious
fowls via the bullet route and with mis-
trusty rife he and the wild-eyed
hunter set out to bring down the tur-
keys or die in the attempt. When the
bombardment was over the ground
was strewn with the dead turkeys,
and the punishment of the defiant
fowls was complete
