several accidents and adverse condi-
tions in business that placed him in
iGhtened circumstances. According
To the story told by his attorney he

OF WILD
PIGEONS DEAD
Many of Them in the Copper
Country Years Ago

News Of the death in Cincinnati Of
Martha. the last wild pigeon in the
world, according TO all ornithological
records, recalls the fact that years ago
there were many wild pigeons in the
copper country. old timers declare
that in certain districts the pigeons
were so thick that they could be Killed
with clubs. Gradually they were ex-
terminated. just as they were in other
parts Of the country
The death of Martha, the last of the
wild pigeons, is considered a calam-
ity of as great importance in the eyes
Of naturalists as the death of Kaiser
to Germans throughout the world.
Martha had been in poor health for
several years in her cage at the Zoo
logical Garden in Cincinnati. Many
efforts had been made to find a mate
for her. or to discover some other
specimen of the wild pigeon, but they
were without avail According to all
ornithological data available, Martha
was the last of her tribe in the world.
Big Prize Offered For Nest.
Members of the National Audubon
Societies some time ago offered a
prize OF $500 to any one who could
find a wild pigeon nest. All that was
necessary was to find the nest, tele-
graph to c. T.. Hodge, a naturalist of
Clark University, and To await the
findings of ornithologists whom he

the find The Audubon Societies re-
ceived ON an average 100 false alarms
year but i'm not single case was
the nest reported found to be a wild
pigeons. Instead, almost every such
nest was found to be that of an ordi-
nary turtle dove. The wild pigeon re-
sembles the ordinary wild dove, but is
considerably larger
The extinction of the wild pigeon
tribe was the more amazing because of
the vast extent to which it had flour
ished i'm this country prior to 1865.
Wild passenger pigeons used To travel
over the country by millions. Audubon
himself told of their roosting in GER
tain parts OF Kentucky in territory
covering space three to five miles
wide and forty miles long. which was
almost literally hidden by them. Hun
dreds OF farmers, he tells, used to
camp on the outside of the vast roost-
ing pigeon host and shoot them by the
thousands from the edge of their rest
ing place. The birds were fed by
| thousands to the farmers hogs after
each nights killing.
The slaughter ragged for years with
nets. traps. and guns, and by 1884
there were very few of the wild pig
cons seen in the country. Several
years ago they had dwindlcd down to
"A few specimens left in captivity in
Milwaukee and in the Cincinnati Zoo
Martha's mate died about four years
ago, and though prize Of $1,000 was
offered for any one who could find an
other bird to take its place Martha
remained in solitary widowhood until
she died.
Martha herself was hatched in cap
tivity i'm the Cincinnati Zoo. AT the
time of her death she was 80 years old
Her last illness had been matter OF
concern to ornithologists the world
over. and the Cincinnati agent of the
Audubon Societies had been instructed
to communicate at once with leading
ornithologists and naturalists OF the
country as soon as she died.
