PERRY SCOTS TURKEY.
This Wonderful Bird Was Well Fixed
With Legs and Wings.

With Legs and Wings.
The story of Perry SCOTS turkey has
come down from Revolutionary days in
Carolina. Colonel Gordon was accus.
toned to tell of the hasty march which
he made before Rudolph's legion he
w:iS just sitting down to dinner when
orders were given to cross the Ashley
river. 1t was nearly nightfalt when be
bivouacked in valley In which the
cavalry under Wayne had just en-
camped and. with his officers. began to
sup on dry bread and potatoes. The
infantry which he comma nded were in
starving condition. and the commits
sary was without money. but raiding
upon the farmers was sternly made
punishable by death.
Reports Of the hungry condition of
the newcomers had circulated among
Wayne's men. Just as the colonel be-
gan to eat his muSty bread q private
from Waynes cavalry appeared and
said respectfully: Perry Scott had
some money. colonel. and bought a
turkey. We have unfortunately eaten
all but one leg. | took the liberty of
bringing that to you The colonel
took the leg gratefully and had scarce
~ finished it when another Of Wayne's
men appeared with the same story OF
Perry Scott'S turkey and another leg.
The colonel congra tulated himself on
his luck and. handling the drumstick
over to fellow officer. went out OF the
tent. 1t was growing dark. Another
cavairyman came up. whispered the
story Of Perry Scott and cautiously
banded over 81 third leg. The colonel
continued his walk through the camp
and before his return had been secretly
offered twenty legs and fourteen wings
of Perry Scott's turkey.
Wayne's men had raided a poultry
yard the previous night and concocted
the story of Perry SCOTS purchase to
protect themselves in case any turkey
bones should be discovered. The hun
ger bitten faces Of their new comrades
were more than they could bear. how.
ever. and each man. unknown to the
Others. carried his share into Gordon's
camp ut the risk Of detection and
death. 1t was not until the war was
over and the troops disbanded that
Colonel Gordon told the story of Perry
Scott and his many legged fowl.-Ar.

west coast of Mexico to enable Amer
leans isolated in Sinaloa and other
states to ley the disturbed districts.
A state department announcement
Saturday declared this action likely
in yieS of the general anxiety OF
Americans in those localities.
State department officials pointed
out that with the suspension of rail
road communication and the inter-
ruption of telegraphic service Amer
lean citizens on the west coast of
Mexico, especially at Los Mochis in
Sinaloa, where there are many Amer
leans. as well as in the vicinity OF
Mazatlan, are isloated. This fact, to-
gether with many reports of increas-
ed lawlessness on the west coast, is
causing much anxiety to Americans
in the region affected and their
friends in the United States.
Many requests and expressions OF
anxiety have reached the state de
partment and in order to obtain news
of the Americans in the affected To-
ealities President TAFT, it is expected,
will send a vessel within few days
to AFFORD an opportunity to leave the
disturbed districts to those who may
wish to do so.

MINERS TO PROTECT PROPERTY
Rumored That Mine Owners Have
Sent Five Hundred Armed Men
Into Mexico.

Los Angeles-The Evening Express
printed a story Monday, based on
what 1T claimed was unimpeaehable
authority, that Frederick w. Burn
ham, the former South African scout
and confidant of millionaire mining
promoters of the United States, now
was encamped with 500 fully armed
and equipped men on the banks OF
the Yaqui river in Sonora, Mexico,
ready for any emergency.
Major Burnhams purpose, the Ex-
press story stated, was primarily that
of guarding the mining and other
property in Mexico owned by John
Hays Hammond. J. p. Morgan, the
Guggenheims and others. in whose
interests he had made many trips
into Mexico. The article adds:
"Burnham and his force are ready
for any emergency that may arise.
His men are fully equipped and have
several long range machine guns.
Nearly all of Burnham's command
are former members of the Rough
Riders or marine corps, and the sub
commanders are said to have
knowledge of the Mexican country
second only to that of the natives
themselves.
