Jury Gives Verdict for 500 FOL
Death Of Two.
Special Dispat ch to The Star.


MARLNTON, w. Va. April GA
case Of unusual interest was tried in the
PocAhontas county circuit court at Mar
linton and 500 damages was recovered
by the plaintiff. The SUIT was for 500
for the loss Of two hounds. The defense
was that at the time the hounds were
shot they were chasing and worrying
sheep.
The evidence showed that about day
light tho morning Of March 8, 1911, the
hounds passed the house OF Jacob Bev-
erage, on Clover creek, In full cry after
q red fox. running strong. A few min
utes afterward they were seen running
sheep at Chris McI.aughlin's. in company
with a shepherd dog. Of doubtful char
acter, and the hounds were shot and
killed by Mclaughlin. The shepherd dos
was killed later In the day by Jason
Beverage.
The theory OF the defense was that the
red fox. with its usual cunning. had
run among the sheep and that the shep-
herd dog was there for . felonious pur-
pose and caused the hounds to Join him.
The case viii be appealed.

I'VE cite q few reasons in support Of
the foregoing. All birds eat and most
Of them eat most Of the time. and they
eat insects and little else. The old bird
has just as keen an appetite as the young
bird, and he is much larger and his daily
ration Is almost incredible.
Mr.. Treadwell of the Boston Society of
Natural History fed q young robin six
ty-eight angle or earth worms in one
day. Mr.. Nash Of the Ontario depart
ment of agriculture fed q robin seventy
cutworms q day for fifteen days. A
young crow will eat twice its weight a
day Of almost anything that happens to
be brought before him. The state ornith-
ologist of Massachusetts,, Mr.. Forbush,
by careful and painstaking observation
has collected much reliable information
on this subject. He has seen two parent
grosbeaks In eleven hours make $50 trips
to their nests carrying two or more lar
vac at q time. Sparrows, chickadees.
vireos, martens and warblers made from
forty to sixty trips an hour with their
beaks filled with all manner Of insects.
Under the supervision OF the United
States biological survey the crops Of $500
birds were examined. Thirty grasshop-
pers, $50 caterpillars were found In the
crops Of cuckoos. In the crop Of q night
hawk were found sixty grasshoppers and
in another 500 mosquitoes. Thirty-eight
cutworms were found In the crop Of a
blackbird. Seventy canker worms were
found In the crop Of cedar bird. Frof.
