of the Westcott in the middle of the
night A blood curdling screech
sounding all over the hotel had arous-
ed 'em.
The halls, stairways and lobby were
instantly filled with startled wayfar-

the screech.
Just as the women we're becoming
hysterical and the men peeved, the
screecher was found.
A touring party from California,
coming into the city had caught a
small screech owl. They purchased a
bird cage, put the owl into it and set
it in a deserted corner of one of the
corridors. When the halls became
dim. the owl gave vent to his feelings.
The hotel management has put a
ban on screech owls.

ers in an effort to prevent speculative
