BIRD STUDY
A Series of Articles on the
Habits of Birds That
Visit Madison
THE BLUE JAY.

A few individual specimens OF
remained in Madison all winter, and
his shrill voice is pleasant to hear on
cold, crisp winter mornings. The
Blue Jay probably enjoys as wide
spread a reputation as any of our
North American birds. 1t is said
that with but a few exceptions there
is no country upon the globe where
some of its representatives are not
found. But it is on the American
continent that it is most abundantIy
diffused, especially in Mexico, and
the countries lying adjacent to the
equator.
Notwithstanding the beautiful ap-
pearance of the Blue Jay, it is re-
garded with but little favor in North
America, where it is found in great
numbers, a constant inhabitant both
of the wooded wildness and the
vicinity of the settled farm; though
more familiar at the approach of
winter and early in the spring than
at any other season. These wander
ings or limited migrations,' says
Nutall, ARE induced by necessity
alone; his boards of grain, nuts and
acorns either have failed, or are for
gotten, for, like other misers, he is
more assiduous to amass than to ex-
pend or enjoy his stores, and the
fruits of his labors very frequently
either devolve to the mice or SOUR
rels, or accidentally assist in the re-
planting of the forest. His visits, at
this time, are not infrequent in the
garden and orchard, and his petu-
liant, harsh trumpeting calculations
make his retreat known to all
in his neighborhood. So habitual is
this sentinel-cry of alarm, and so ex-
pressive, that all the birds within
call, as well as other wild animals,
are instantly on the alert, so that
the fowler and the hunter become
generally disappointed of their game
by this garrulous and noisy pro-
He is, therefore, for his
frequently killed without
pity. His more complainant notes.

Sr., living northeast of Condo, s.
~, was instantly killed last evening
when his team ran away. The young
man was driving back TO the house
across the fields about s o'clock from
a trip into the distant corner of the
farm. In descending a steep hill the
boards of his wagon bed slipped for
ward against the horses. This fright
ened the horses and they leaped into
a wild run down a hill. The driver
was thrown in front of the wheels
and a heavy tire crushed in the back
OF his skull. Death vas instantane-

to the house.
Kadoka-At a meeting held by
representatives of all parts of this
~(Stanley) county the question of di-
viding the county into two or three
smaller counties was discussed at
length, and there was little opposi-
ton 10 the movement. IL seemed to
be the sentiment of the representa-
tives that inasmuch as Stanley coun-
ty is as large as some eastern states
~ Woulu NC the part Oh WlSuOm 10
divide 1t, the belief being expressed
that to do this would enable those in
control of the smaller counties form
ed from Stanley to conduct them in
such a way there would be a great
reduction in taxation from the pres
ent rate. 1t is expected a definite
plan for the division of the county
will be submitted to the voters OF
! the entire county at the November
election, and that 1t will meet with
little If any opposition.

Assault by Man Who
Escapes
ENTERS HOME WITH
ROBBERY INTENT
Demand For Money Meets
With Refusal---Suspect
Arrested

Mrs. Ella Isgrigg, the mother of Mr..
Dan S. Isgrigg, is suffering from the
effects CT a severe nervous shock and
injuries received when she was at
tackled by an unknown negro about 2
o'clock yesterday morning. The man
had entered the house intent upon
robbery and when detected attacked
Mrs. EsgTisg. He was fri81ened away
and the police are seeking him.
IN eLtrace was gained TO the room
OF Mrs. Issrisg through one Of the
windows, and when she awakened he
was stnding over her bed He
clutched her throat and demanded all
the money in the house, declaring he
knew O. large sum was kept on the
premises. Mrs. Isgrigg was unable
to make an cutlery. Securing two
pocketboOks that were close to the
bed, she turned them over TO the man,
who released his hold on her throat.
Mrs. Isgrigg then screamed, and the
outcry attracted the attention Of Mr..
Jsgrigg, who was sleeping in an adj
joining room.
The negro became frightened and
made his exit through the window,
running around the house. He was
successful in getting away before Mr..
Isgrigg could get into the room, and
his retreating footsteps were heard
in the rear of the building.
2 In his flight the man dropped his
hat, which was found yesterday
morning. According to Mrs. Isgrigg,
she succeeded in scratching him on
the lower lip and also on the neck.
This Will perhaps lead to the identity
of the man if he is captured.
The police were at once notified and
a thorough search was made in the vi
cinity Of the Isgrigg home, but with
out result.
The pocketsbooks which were Civ
en- 10 him by Mrs. Isgrigg contained
only a small amount Of change and
after emptying them of their contents
the negro threw them on the floor.
A close description of the negro was
given the police. Mrs. Isgrigg des-
crfbed him as being about five feet
eight inches in height, bushy hair,
and light in color.
Yesterday morning about five
o'clock Patrolman J. w. King arrest

Carlisle as his home, near the Lois

out a hat and acted rather SUSPECT
ously. He was questioned closely by
the police, but he stoutly protested his
innocence OF any connection with the
case. Mr. Isgrigg was callede and af-
ter seeing the man declared he did
not believe he was the one wanted.
He was released from custody yes
