Another interesting discovery resulted
from scientific expedition. which DIR.

mountains of Arizona. He came across
a living species OF bird identical with
the one found mummified, and which Is
now known to the the scientific world
by his name.
Another recent discovery in connee-

five turkey cocks. This is thought to

country and antedates the expedition
OF Cortez in Mexico in 1919.
But the turkey goes back further
among the Indians than even the prob

TOURISTS PAID
FOR' THE DAMAGE
County Road employees
Place Tacks In Path And
Puncture Tires.

A party of tourists or perhaps JOY
riders while passing over the road be-
tween here and Prairie du Sac proceed
ed to tear up the warnings at the spots
where the road was being improved and
other damage which annoyed the high
way laborers. The road employees it is
said retaliated by placing tacks in
the road and when the auto parties
returned that way they paid for their
damage by repairing punctured tires.
This, however, was not justifable re-
taliation on the part of the laborers as
other cars passing that way might also
fall victims to the tacks. If the num-
bers of the cars doing the damage had
been taken the drivers might have been
prosecuted.
