Carrier Pigeon and
Mysterious Message
Excite Fire Ladies'
BIRD FLIES INTO NO. 2 ENGINE
HOUSE TO ESCAPE FROM
GREAT STORM.

Driven to cover by the big storm
that swept this section of Mississippi
yesterday afternoon and last night,
in which it was practically impossible
for fowls of any kind to exist, car
rier pigeon, hearing a message, flew
into the headquarters of No. 2 Engine
Company, of Hattiesburg fire depart
ment, shortly after G:30 O'Clock last
night
Where the bird came from, or
whittier it was bound, no one knows.
1t was drenched, en1, partly drowned,
but was not exhausted by great
deal. 1t flew through the door and
perched itself on the truck. Capt
Faster, in charge of the company,
walked over to the pigeon and placed
his hands on it. After stroking it
bit, he carried it to the door and re-
leased it. 1t flew in circles for a few
minutes, directly in front of the En-
ssi-.e- Ir-A,iae, -c~4IG- ts1on returned ia
doors. Several times efforts were
made to start the bird on It's voyage,
but all to no avail.
The pigeon was examined, and un-
der one wing was found a message.
IN. G.-Its on-R. X" That's the
cryptic message the bird carried un-
der its wing, which was so much
Dutch to the fire laddies.
The pigeon was retained till this
morning. The laddies got food Of
various kind, but it refused to eat.
Capt Foster carried it to the door and
released it. In a moment it was on
its fight, going eastward. Its owner
ship and its destination probably al
ways will remain a secret.

The storm which wreaked such
havoc on the Louisiana and Texas
coast yesterday afternoon and
last night, while it gave Forrest
county the best drenching it has
had in weeks, did practically no
damage to either property or
crops.
The city, however, suffered a
little Inconvenience. "A fuse box
burned out at Main and Front
streets, letting drop the electric
light wires on those of the Cum
herland Telephone G. Telegraph
Company. The operators of the
company got slight shocks at the
time, although no one was hurt.
The long distance wires leading
out of Hattiesburgs were not af-
fected by the storm.
