BIRD HOLDS CLEW?
Police Listen to Parrots Every
Word for Death Secret.
VIII Weezie Tell of Masters
Murder, They Wonder.

Chicago. June 16.-With horned
beak and claws, Weezie, a parrot,
makes the rounds of his wire cage.
He screeches unintelligibly as he ruff
files his bright plumage, and now and
then utters a word.
He was in the room yesterday after
noon when his master, Frank Kouty,
SIS years old, owner of bird store on
Archer avenue. died with his throat
cut. Among all the birds in the store
Weezie alone was not for sale. for he
was the companion of the aged man.
Kouty talked to him and Weezie
would reply. The parrot learned to
repeat words uttered by the man.
Now Kouty's body lies in the back
room of an undertaking establishment
and Weezie is being watched by detec-
tives.

Was there a word. a sentence, IA

GAINED "a POUNDS
Contracting Painter Praise
Tanlac.
Receivers Old Time Strength and
Energy.

Not in years" said J. w. Sparks,
a well known contracting painter of
1911 washington street, Kansas city,
Missouri, while in the Owl Drug store,
recently have 1 enjoyed such good
health or felt so well generally as
do now and l want the people to
know that It is all because OF what
Tanlac has done for me.
For a long time" he added, II ha d
suffered from indigestion and had
very little appetite. My 1000 1ust
seemed to lav in my stomach like lead
and form a sour gas that would bioat
me all up and press on my heart al
most cutting off my breath. Then
had a severe attack of grippe Which
left me in such rundown weakened
condition that l couldn't do any work.
There were intense pains in my back,
! couldn't sleep, and my stomach was
so weak and upset that 1 could hardly
eat anything. After taking the usual
treatment for such troubles and using
a number of different kinds of medi-
cines, without any relief, 1 decided to
take a trip, thinking change OF
climate and surroundings might help
me. but nothing did me any good.
Seeing Tanlac endorsed by so
many peopls right here in my own
town put me to thinking there must
be something to it. So l got a bottle
and 1t helped me 50 much that l
bought another, then another and SO
on until now l have taken four bottles
and can not only eat just anything,
but l have actually gained twenty
four pounds in weight. My stomach
never troubles me now, no matter
what I eat. and my old time energy
and strength have come back to me.
My nerves have also gotten back to
normal but before ] got Tanlac the
least noise or unusual occurrence
would almost distract me. I now sleep
like a log at night, eat hearty at
every meal and feel fine all the time
and so l have the best of reasons for
praising Tanlac."
Tanlac is sold in Topeka by Tully-
Mcfarland Drug Co.-Adv.

JESS GETS SOLID
Steadily Flooding Along
Dempsey Yet Unable To Box.
Willard Most Confident Cham.
pion Ring Has Ever Had.

Toledo, o., June 16.-There is every
indication here today that Jack
Dempsey would do no more boxing in
preparation for his bout with Jess
Willard. at least until Friday. with a
strong probability that it will be Sat-
urday before Trainer De Forrest and
Manager Kearns will permit him to
expose himself to clouts from his
sparring partners.
And in the meantime Jess Willard
is going silently, ploddingly and con-
sistently ahead with his training. The
shimmy shivers the Big champion has
is giving away to the firmness of
flesh which so distinguishes his
superbly trained. challenger from him.

Most Confident Champ.
Willard is the most self-confident
man the ring ever has had for a
champion, bar none.
Il know just what is good for me
and l will train my own way" he
said to me yesterday during a tanning
bee. No suggestion can alter my
way of doing things. They say my
sparring partners are no good. but I
am satisfied. l don't believe I could
get better men. If 1 could l would
go after them. There is no reason to
believe l would risk my title just on
whim regarding a couple or three
sparring partners. is there?'
Jess admitted that the heat here
gave him much trouble when he first
took up his training camp duties.
Heat No Bother Now.
why, when 1 first started here 1
thought several times I would faint in
the ring. Seemed like 1 was sticking
my head in an oven when 1 went I'M
der the hot sun. Now that has all
passed away. 1 feel like the sun was
my best friend. You can see that I
have been doing lots more work and
that am able to go at a faster pace"
Tex Richard smilingly pointed out
today that Toleda hasn't always been
cursed by hot weather such as it is
now experiencing. He dug up a lot of
meteorological charts to see what he
could find out about the notifications
of the weather man.
He declared there hasn't been a
July here since the weather bureau
was established when the thermome-
ter mounted higher than "a. And
most were much cooler.
The heat here now is most oppres-
sive, but older 'inha bitants' combine

such a hot month in these parts.

cred pate of Weezie? Is there a word
or name or a sentence that will solve
the mystery of Kouty's death that
Weezie in his rambling saw-filing and
screeching jargon, will utter? The de-
tectives hope there is.s
Kouty may have been killed by two
negroes who were seen loafing about
the place. The body was discovered
by Miss Jessie Balding. who told the
police that she had been nurse to the
old man and that she had been his
lifelong friend. She was later held
by the police because of story told
by Walter G. Pfeiffer. who entered the
Kouty home with her. He said that
she took some money from coffee
pot in the kitchen after looking into
a clock that hung above the door.
Money to Bury Him.
He told me he had some money
there" she explained to the police.
land that If anything happened to him
l was to take it and see that he was
given a proper BURIAL
Miss Balding said she was afraid the
money would be stolen II left in the
coffee pot. However. she is being
held; the police are looking for the
two negroes. and Weezie's weird cries
are being studied to see II the peculiar
brain of a talking bird will give up the
important clew.
