 Roy Dart. son of Anson Dart, cap tured a pair of young hoot owls the other day and his experiences while exciting are not to be envied. He found the nest with the half grown birds in hollow chestnut tree 30 feet up the tree and met the parent birds at the door when he knocked. There was serious objection to his call at once and the fun commenced. Owls do not sec very we'll in day light, but they could see we'll enough to make strenuous fight to protect their young. Dart finally captured the two young ones and slid down the tree to the ground. He was bit and scratched in a dozen different places and was glad to, be rid of his assail- ants. fF
