OF this county believes to be the previ-
Gus history OF the recent story from
Chicago telling of q diamond stud
valued at $50 found in the craw of a
Thanksgiving turkey, had Its inception
In duck hunt here.
According to Lovett's story, while
hunting two years ago he slightly
wounded a duck and decided to carry
the bird home, He used his necktle to
bind the birds feet. neglecting to re-
move diamond stud fastened therein.
Placing the supposedly helpless bird
In the rear Of his conveyance, he start.
ed home, when a flutter a few minutes
later attracted his attention. He turned
in time to see the duck flying on with
his necktlo dangling from Its feet.
( Cuero Is in the center Of large
