AO9SCAAG Ell1 = EA1 ANAL2SCGtlls Although inside information had convinced the Review reporter assign
 ed to the bird mystery of Upper Tomb stone Canyon that the matter was near
 to solution, the announcement at a late hour last night came as a surprise
 but pleasant one. however. The fact
 is that the matter had begun to wear upon the nerves of those most direct " concerned. The tendency of sever
 al of the Canyonites to attribute the
 mystery to supernatural causes lent a
 weird suggestion to the whole affair.
 There is no doubt that the good people
 of Upper Tombstone Canyon will rest easier O nights, now that they know
 that the bird is captured, sold, and on it's way to a famous eastern museum.
 Not to keep the reader in suspense, the name of the strange bird will be stated before proceeding further. While it was impossible to exactly classify the nocturnal disturber, it is declared to be relative of that we'll known bird of musical proclivities, tho helminthophila pinus. This bird is not ed for it's wonderful warbling Those who heard the particular bird in ques tion declare that it differs from the helminthophila pinus as to the tone quality. The weird melody of the mid

 The manner in which the strange bird was captured-it's too hard to re- peat that long name again. thus early was peculiar one and worthy the ingenious mind of the experienced capturer of feathered folk, IzZah Ketch um. who was finally secured through the good offices of Wyersley Wayne, the pathological professor.

He passed a couple of nights Investigating the mystery. listening to the walls of the nocturnal creature, etc. He then announced that he was ready to bring the matter to a However. he made one that he be left in absolute

 This was the explanation given by zzah Ketchum. Izzah's dope. obvions- y. was the correct theory. The wirg d creature was ensnared after Inc ,otent powder had done it's work of nticement and the strange song of
 stranger land was used to l1re the ird into the trap of Izzah Keic,,.-l.
 An effort was made to induce Ketch- m to leave the bird for exhibition pur- oses in local store. for a time. Iowever, Izzah offered sufficient in uce~ ent to placate the feelings of everal of the citizens who felt that leir efforts had, indirectly, assisted the apprehension of the aerial mys- sry. Harry Harrington was the heav- ,st gainer in the transaction and. -bue nc figures were given out off ially. it is said that Harry received

While the Review is not t liberty to divulge the name of the ' luseum, it may be stated that the bird V ill spend it's remaining years as an r biect of scientific interest, as the octurnal feathered mystery of Upper tombstone Canyon bears just enough u distinguishing it from the sual helminthophila pinus to make 8
