MONKEY-FACE OWL TO
Be SHOWN AT BIG FAIR
Colby A. Taylor To Take Strange
Bird To Louisville Together
With F;1e pneasants

T., d eyes that arc
J. a IN appearance a
5 yrlzey-faced owl viii
unC.u attract lots of atten-
ton when h bited at the State
Fair at Louisville by Colby \.
Taylor, of Richmond. The owl
will be sent to the big show atssg
18th a remarkable exhibs on 81
'l>onts which Mr.. aEtor
breeds and is taking toSffie fair at
t'a express and earnest invitations
Of the State Fair mana9epetit.
Few here knew that Mr. Az
Tor had tbs owl, WhichHss
rare and unusual species. It was
captured near SpeedweIl, this
county, about month ago. There
were two of them but one seemed
to have been injured in pulling it
one of a hole in a tree in which
they had taken refuge, and It
died shortly thereafter NJ Y
lor bought the strange b OF
81 from its captor and la. -en
caring for it and feeding it eve
since. 1t is very feroc ous and
prefers a diet of live sparrcws to
anything else. 1t is almost har-
rowing sight to see the owl,
clutching the quivering bird with
one strong claw. cut its throat
with its sharp beak and then gulp
the carcass down in one mouth
ful. Mr.. Taylor says that the
owl is so fond of its diet Of spar
rows that unless given them, #
will often go two or three days
without eating disdaining beef
that may be thrown in its cage.
Although he is an authority on
pheasants and other varieties OF
poultry, Mr.. Taylor knew little OF
this variety of the owl family
when he secured it. However. 10
rdte to leading ornithologists
and the president Of the Univer-
sity of Kansas, answered him
fully about this species OF owl,
W hich is so rare and has such
strange resemblance to monkey
or human being. He said that
these birds are natives of Yucca
tan, in Mexico, and that they are
undoubtedly caught UP in some
terrific Windstorm or hurricane
and Whirled through space many
miles, to have been found here.
Mr.. Taylor thinks the bird only
about half or two-th.rds grown.
1t is white and mixed yellow col
or, sprinkled with dark brown
beads. The appearance of its face
is really uncanny, and it rolls its
brown eyes and glares out Of
them, in very human sort Of
way. When a person stands in
front of its cage, it lowers its
head, and ways it from side to
side, in a threatening manner.
Mr.. Taylor says he may try to
sell the bird to some geological
Garden or fanc'er while at the
Richmond daily register. (Richmond, Madison County, Ky.) 1917-1978, 1922-09-01
HUNG JURY is RESULT
OF TRIAL OF TODD
Who Is Charged With Poisoning
Boen Stock-Stevens Held
To Grand Jury

James Todd, COlOred, 10 year
of age, appeared before Judge
j Goodloe in county court Friday
morning to answer charges
against him Of poisoning the
stock OF L. A. Boon. The trial
resulted in hung jury
Mr.. Boen was the first witness
to take the stand. He testified
that he had come upon Todd
while the latter was stealing coal
from the place of Dave Powers.
He said that he ordered Todd to
stop but he walked a few steps
with the coal, set it against the
fence and told Boon that he
would make him pay $1,000 for
this before he was through with
him. He started running and
Boon took out after him, but the
lad was TOO swift for him.
This happened on Saturday
about three weeks ago and on
the following Tuesday night Be-
en- had six fire hogs and one
horse poisoned. The hogs died
the same day, but the horse liv-
ed about two and a half days be-
fore it died. Mr.. Boon stated
that he had found the water the
horse had drunk to be a strange
red color.
Ches Sans, neighbor of Be-
en-. testified that he saw Boon
catch the negro, make him put
the coal down and chase him
away. He did not see the lads
face, however. and could not tell
whether it was Todd or not.
Mrs. Pritchett, who is also a
neighbor Of Mr.. Boon, stated
that she had seen him in his eff
fort to catch the negro but could
not identity Todd as being the
one. Several witnesses testified
as to the character of Todd,
WHICH was not as good as it
might have been.
Todd said that he was in Cor
bin from Monday until Tuesday
evening when the stock was
poisoned. His mother, Della
Campbell, testified that he was
in his bed early Tuesday even
ing and also Thursday evening
when the barn of Mr.. Boon was
DESTROYED by fire. Thursday ev-
ening it was proved that he had
visited the Watts home, another
colored family, and returned
home about ten o'clock, His
mother stated that he was in bed
asleep when she arose to see
where the fire was.
The testimony of DR.. Main
hart, veterinarian, probably did
more to save Todd than any
other. He stated that the stock
of Boen's died from disease
something like ptomaine poison
ing. He also said that when Mr..
Boon called him1up to, seelfrorn
what his stock might have died,
lie told him that spoiled food
probably caused their death and
that Mr.. Boon admitted having
given the hogs some corn that
was bad. He said that he told
Mr.. Boon that his horse probab-
ly died from eating the same
thing.
Otis Stevens, of Red Lick,
came before Judge Goodloe in
his examining trial for having
moonshine equipment in his pos
session. He was held to await
the action of the grand jury. He
was put under arrest several
weeks ago by Sheriff Deatherage
and federal officer. They trac-
ed slide tracks from an old still
Sight to Stevens home, finding
sitting equipment on the way
and several barrels that had only,
lately been emptied of beer.

TLLEeITlMATE PARENTS"

The world has heard much abou
'Illegitimate children" but sentimen
is growing in favor of phrasing Il
I'illegitimate parents" which is more
nearly just.
Why should any child have to bear
socially, the sin Of its parents? Two
people sinned; justice demands that
they bear their own sin. In this case
the innocent should not suffor for the
guilty. To give justice to the child
born out of wedlock should be the
aim and end of law, and the guilty
should be compelled to right the wrong
as far as possible, and to make repara-
tion.
Too oftn the man escapes, and the
woman and child bear the stigma.
Socially the woman is an "outcast",
the child branded for life, while the
child is innocent and the woman may
have been a victim trapped through
ignorance. Both have right to fair
treatment and kindness; if society
cannot extend these then society is
Just that far wrong, and it needs read
justing.

AN ILLUMINATING ANEcDoTE

Hon. James H. MacLafferty, a brand
new republican representative from
California, made his maiden speech
recently, ard it was on the ship AID
bill. lie related an anecdote which
was in Interesting and decidedly pointed
to Illustrate the absence of the Amer
lean fag ON the ocean before the war.
He was coming back to America On an
English boat in 1916 when the pas,
sengeTs described a little vessel bob
bing up and down on the waves,
which, IS they grew nearer proved to
be @ small American steamer bound
to Japan from Puget Sound AS she
broke out the STATS and Stripes the
British captain eXclaimed: "Oh. by

what she in doing so fer away from

aided bv uocra-ic parisanship ana
