1HOMASP. THOMASDEAD KIND TO The PIDCEON
From Tuesdays Daily.

There is considerable humanitarian
ism among the employees at the local
freight depot of the Omaha road.
The other day one of the employees.
Elmer Lundberg, found in an empty
freight car a half frozen pigeon.
One of its legs was broken and it
was evidently about ready to die.
Mr.. Lundberg took the bird inside
where it was warm and after treat
ing the poor bird gave it hearty
meal and a box to stay in. Since
that time the bird, in appreciation of
what had been done for it, has be-
come great pet around the freight
depot and comes in and goes out as
1t pleases. 1t is not in the least
afraid of the boys" and will eat
from their hands or perch on their
shoulders. They have already begun
to teach the pigeon to carry mes
sages from the freight house to the
union passenger depot and it shows
an aptitude for this work that is sur
prising. Fred Swanson says that in
another week they are going to have
the bird setting brakes on the
freight cars as they are backed into
the siding.
