Gull. Of tn. pronao Cuckoo.

The drongo shrike is bird OF pug
nacious disposition. especially at the
nesting season. when II guards Its nest
with. for a small bird. great feroclty.
Douglas Dewar. from whom this ac-
count is taken. says that he has watch
ed a pair of these little birds attack
and drive away a monkey which tried
to climb into the tree in which their
nest was placed. Indeed. so able
fighter is the shrike that some other
birds. nota bly, orioles and doves. fire.
quentiy build their nests in the sa me
tree in order 10 share the benefit OF his
prowess. The drongo cuckoo lays its
eggs in the nests of such birds as the
king crow. These are pugnactous
even ferocious. and without some guile
cuckoo could not accomplish this
feat But the drongo cuckoo is so like
the drongo shrike. even having the
same odd twist TO its tail feathers. that
the king crow is deceived by the re-
semblance and besitates to give fight

Eureka Bank Case

The Eureka Sentinel has the follow
ing which would indicate that the
probing of the failure Of the Eureka
bank has just started:
The grand jury came into court
thursday forenoon, handing to Judge
Breen number of documents.
After finding the indictments for
murder against the two Indians last
Saturday, 1t is understood the grand
jury took up the investigation Of the
failure of the Eureka county bank aud
worked on the matter until they came
into court Thursday afternoon and II
is rumored that large number OF
indictments have been returned
against the parties connected with
the failure Of the bank.
Several Of the deposltors who are
said to have received the high sign
from officials CONNECTED with the
bank were fortunate enough to get
their funds from the bank Just prior
to its closing, were called before the
grand jury buring the week and ques-
toned regarding thefavored informa
ton they are alleged to have receiv-
ed and. If signs fail not, there will
be sensational developments in the
bank matter when the grand jury
makes its final report and the charg
es in the indictments are made
public"
