miner had five bank books with him,

Herndon seemed little concerned

After Driving Guinea Hen From Nest
He Takes and Keeps Her
Place. -

Edwardsville, Ill.-A huge white
turkey gobbler on the Gashing farm.
owned by Charles Obert and situated
about twelve miles northeast of here,
has taken upon himself the task of
Matching sitting of guinea eggs, and
that. too. against the will of the
guinea hen which formerly held pos
session of the nest which the turkey
now occupies.
Several days ago the gobbler, after
careful investigation Of the matter,
decided that he would like to try his
skill at Matching guinea eggs and pro-
ceeded Immediately and without cere-
mony to chase the hen from the nest.
Since that time the turkey has held
possession and has stuck to the nest
closer than even the guinea hen would
have done.
Farmers in the vicinity are watch
ing the outcome Of this motherly &C.
tion on the part of the bird with con.
siderable interest. AS the time for
Matching guinea eggs is 28 days, they
win probably have to wait some time
yet, but the question of whether OF
not the turkey will continue to be a
mother to the guineas after the eggs
hatch is causing much speculation

SHOT THROUGH BRAIN
Dispute Arose over Division of Plum
der=Resort to Arbitration With
Pack Of Cards as Referee-Four OF
Hearts Important Factor.

New York.-Tony Zacaro, pistol
man, gangster and stick-up man, cum
ming as a weasel at many games OF
other night for "double-crossing' the
gang. He was shot to death in the
Degli, Giuseppe Jacko's dingy little
coffee house at 336 East 109th street,
and Jscko, who had sort Of backed
Tony up In his double-cross, was like
wise made a target for gang bullets
and later died in Harlem hospital.
The police are looking for Coney
Island the Wop alleged director OF
the bombardment against Tony and
Jacko.
The four of hearts played an i'm
portant part in the assassination OF
Tony.
AS the story was being whispered In
the Degli, after the body Of Tony had
been removed, it would seem that If
Zacaro had used four of hearts in
double-crossing the gang, There had
been dispute over the division of
gang plunder.
The willy Tony suggested arbitration
and then urged that a pack of cards
should serve as referee. The cards
were cut with the idea that the low
card drew the bulk of the pelf. Tony
cut four OF hearts, which was low.
The division was made.
Later those of the gang who had
lost heard that Tony had boasted OF
''skinning the boobs." Tony denied
this and protested his innocence. But
all the gang knew Of Tony's skill with
the pasteboards and how he frequent
ly trimmed come-ons in the dingy lit
tie coffee house of Joe Jacko Word
was conveyed to Tony that he would
"get his" The warning reached him
IN the mails, written, it is said across
the face of the four of hearts.
The little pistol man kept away
from the Degli for a few days The
other night he ventured back AS he
came through the swinging doors and
blinked his eyes in the vile atmos.
phere he noticed three men get up
from a table and go out through a
side door. He approached that table
and saw, lying face up on 1t, the four
OF hearts. glass of chianti had
been tipped over and the card was
smeared with crimson. Tony turned
as white as he could under his olive
skin and backed irresolutely away
from the table, looking wildly about
him at the faces of those who sat

tie tables. Finally he spied Jacko

street, Long Island City, the other day
next appears in this port her COM
mander, Captain Kichner. win not feel
kindly toward the ship news reporter
who mentions mutton to him. Like
wise, the butcher who suggests that
the captain get the better of the Cnld

board on the hoof will encounter a
surprise. In fact. it is doubtful even If
luscious lamb chops will appeal to the
captain after his experience.
1t is proverbial that sheep are meek.
There are sheep and sheep, though. as
one butchers apprentice, Robert
Henty, discovered when he arrived at
the pier with two ewes and a ram.
(See dictionary for the difference.)
The sheep were destined for the ships
mess, and every man Of the crew had
visions of fresh mutton when he saw
the animals arrive.
These visions were dispelled soon af-
ter Henty had led one of the ewes on
board the steamship. In some manner
the ram. which had been left in the
delivery wagon, escaped from his
bonds. Possibly it was an antitrust
ram, for the animal Immediately demon
strated his dislike for all things oily.
Coincidental with his demonstration
the men on the pier left the vicinity.
Some were assisted by the ram.
Then the which-was-not-to-b
journeyed into the oil yard and created
further disturbance. Not daunted by
the efforts toward his capture he re-
turned to the pier, waggl;ng his head
In defiance. His path was not OBJ
structed. Then he plunged overheard
into the East river.
When Captain Kichner saw his NUT
ton swimming away In the water three
boats were lowered to the rescue. The
ram swan placidly into the middle
of the stream. When the first rowboat
drew near him he turned and charged.
In their excitement and efforts to cap
ture the ram the sailors upset the boat.
fortunately the craft was righted and
the sailors discreetly withdrew.
BY this time the commotion in the |
river had attracted the attention of
Harry Murray, superintendent of the
stables on Blackwells island, and he |
valiantly started out aboard a motor
boat to capture the ram. The engine
