One of the biggest hawk stories
that we have heard recently comes to
US from the New Hope section OF the
county. Some ten days ago D. NJ.
owens, who lives on the farm of R. l..
Boggs, noticed that some of his chick
ems were missing every now and
n 10 f,,1 Iol, n
1t was not long until he found the
cause, which was discovered when he
sighted two large hawks tearing to
pieces one of his fowls. When they
had finished their meal he baited and
set steel trap right where they
had dined. He watched again from
concealed position, and some hours
later, after seeing the birds descend
to the same place, visited his trap
to find that he had caught Mr..
Hawk. He was dispatched, the trap
again baited and set. On the follow
ing day he visited the spot and was
rciOiCed to find that Mrs Hawk had
followed in the footsteps of her hus-
band," walking right into the trap
set for her. One of the birds meas
ured feet 3 inches and the other 4
feet from tip to tip Of wings.
