~ USrY has been h1istaken Tor
the grackle, oriole and black
bird, If We are to believe the
l. Y other names he goes by. He IS
a bird about 9 inches long. rusty black
with a bluish-green to dull violet on
the neck and head, when seen in GER
tain positions. The under tail-coverts
are margined in white. and you have
this for your field mark His eyes are
pale yellow or yelloWiSh white
He is a traveller, and is known in
northern and eastern North America.
Not until the cold days arrive in the
United States are you likely to see
Rusty and his family. Then you find
a few early guests, interested in the
fields where grain has been grown and
harvested.
The conversational notes of Rusty
vary between cluck and clack and
a chuck. During the courting days,
the song turns into something far diff
ferent from his everyday notes. Now
it is rich and sweet, with a lot of
feeling and punch in it. You catch
familiar notes of the blackbird clan in
1t, and it Is individual enough for you
always to remember.
During the short sojourn in the au-
tumn,the birds are of value to us.
They consume all the late egg-laying
insects abroad, and they clean up the
fields of grain that may also be har-
boring foe. Then. when night comes,
the busy searchers 60 to nearby
marsh or bottomlands where they know
there is sufficient shrubbery and water
for them to make themselves comfort
able. They seem to have an under
standing that the tribe will gather in
this place each night until a sufficiently
large group has accumulated, then they
ere ready to go on their way.
They visit the rice fields of the south
and they stick together and serch the
fields that were planted to corn. Then
when the home urge descends upon
them, they begin their journey to the
north. Their breeding grounds are
north Of the United States. The nest
Is placed in alders or willows close to
the edge of water. It is a clumsy.

to investigate and, Of course, the in
surance investigators were present
The man took the police and other
officials in through the back door and
showed them where the screen door
had been slashed, evidently when the
robber broke in. It was decided that
there was nothing extraordinary about
the case and the oflcials prepared to
leave. Just as they again approached
the back door an officer coming up
from an outside inspection tore his
sleeve on the screen door as he stood
on the porch. Some time later the
whole case and the various reports were
filed and when the man tried to coll
lect his insurance he found that the
investigators were smarter than he.

especially do they love the swamps,
marshes, lakes and sloughs. There
are many weed seeds to be found in
these spots, and besides, Rusty has
found that few hunters are likely to
come into such retreats. He loves to
wade in the shallow water, and here
he fattens on the lusty insects to be
found. He is friendly, and can be
tanned, so that he even comes to ind
out what you have for him. His
reputation as family man is excel

WARRENTON HOTEL
DECLARED TAXABLE
Judge Parker Renders De-
cision At Hearing Held
In Warrenton

> In a friendly lawsuit brought by
the Town of Warrentol in superior
court there this week, Judge r. Hunt
Parker, presiding, ruled that Hotel
Warren, owned by the Town of War
renton, should remain on the county
tax books and be subject to taxation
The case will go to the State Supreme
Court for final adjudication, as the
action before Judge Parker was only
preliminary to4that move, as had been
agreed upon by both the town and the
county.
Frank H. Gibbs, former mayor of
Warrenton, represented the town in
the litigation and julius Banzet,
county attorney, represented the coun-
ty. It had been previously determined
that, no matter what Judge Parker's
decision, an appeal would be taken to
the State Supreme Court.
While of particular interest to at
torneys, the case was declared to
have been vexing problem in which
Judge Parker was called on to rule,
due to the fact that the Supreme
Court is understood to be divided on
the question. Decisions by the higher
court on similar actions are said to
have been given in both directions.
Several new members of the court
have been named since the last de-
cision of the kind was given, and it
is now desired to have ruling by the
present high tribunal.
The question of taxing the town
owned hotel has been one of discus
sion since the town of Warrenton
bought the property at public auction
several years ago. Prior to that time
It was a private corporation and was
on the county's tax books, but after
If came wholly into possession of the
municipality, some citizens expressed
the view that it should not pay taxes
Warren county officials contend the
hotel should be taxed, and the town
authorities take the opposite view
At the present time the town pays
taxes to the county in the sum of
S312.5O for the hotel valuation.

their monthly meeting for October.
The audit covers all operations of
the county, including each office and
department, except the schools. The
audit for the tax collector was the
first to be presented, and was handed
to the commissioners two weeks ago,
at which time F. M. Dorsey, collector.
was released from further respon-
sibility, other than in collection of ar
rears. on 1887 accounts, and final and
complete settlement was made with
him by the commissioners. The new
1888 tax books were also turned over
to him for collection at the same
time.
So far as was learned today, other
business to come before the commits
sioners will be largely of routine
nature.
