been going cunning for red-headed
woodpeckers here lately with a %
calibre rifle and some twelve or fifteen
of the red heads have fallen to the
chiefs gun. Considerable complaint
has come TO the police department be-
cause Of the attacks OF the red heads
on telephone and telegraph poles,
steeples and the like. Sheriff Fred
Quinn was out with the police chlef
yesterday after the birds and if any
body who noted the two with guns :
were under the impression that they
we're after some desperate criminal
they were badly mistaken since the
culprits being sought were only red
heads.
