Mysterious Killing of Valuable Pheasants Solved When Tame Owls Caught in Act Louis Kroosgin, Br. solved a reg ular Hawkshaw mystery Sunday night whon he learned the identity of the mysterious enemy which was nightly slaughtering his valuablo Chinese pheasants. Starting last Thursday night this enemy made raids on the pheasant flock until a total of 12 valuablo birds were dead, muto evidences of the destructive force. What was moro baffling, there was no sign of a mark upon any of the victims to indlcnto how thoy wera klllod. His first suspicion was directed to cats, of which there are many (n the neighborhood, but there were no teeth marks on the dead birds, no claw marks olther. And then, too, the pheasants occupy a cat-tight fence. A careful examination of this fence disclosed no breakes whero a cat could havo entered, Thus tho mystery deepened. On Thursday night five flno birds were killed and Friday night Mr. Kroea sin put all of his flock Bave one In a covored coop, Saturday morn ing that one was found dead. Sat urday night no effort was made to put tho flock away and Sunday morning four moro were killed. Then Mr. Kroessln determined that desparate means must bo taken to protect the remainder and to find the cause of the mysterious killings, so Sunday evening when the pheas ant cocks began to give the alarm he hurried to the coop with a flashlight and shot gun. A hurried IX P. mi! MY HARVESTS CHOP OF IlKAIi PEANUTS From a smalt handful of peanuts which ho plnntod lato In May, E. P. Bmlloy this wock hnrvo8ted n quart of mature poanutB. Nothing that tho Old Dominion stato over producod In tho peanut lino hnd any- thing on tho variety which Mr. Bmlloy socurod, for many of them woro of tho long, "doublo Jointed" vnrloty. "Had I plantod tho seed In April Instonu of In Mny I nm 4 sura that I would hnvo had a quart from ovory hill, or five quarts in nil," snld Mr. Bmlloy. "From tho oxporlonco galnod this year, I an ccrtau that pon- ' nuts can bo successfully and profitably producod In this Bee- Hon." P. S. L HEAD THINKS II J. Leroy Nlclit'I, President of Pacific J.tvp Htock Company Accompanied lly Hon VIhMn Ontario To Hell Hiu-ncy Holding "Yes, I bellovo that tho livo stock business has ronched tho bottom nnd will soon show an improvmont. This may soom unduly optimistic In vlow of tho prosont prices, and tho fact that wo havo boon looking for hot tor conditions for noariya yoar, but thoro nro n numbor of contributing factors which sustain thai vlow," said J. Loroy Nickel, president of P. I.. S. Company, who with his son spont Monday morning in Ontnrto. "If ono ronds tho statistics of tho livestock nnd shoop holdings In Amorlcn it Is plainly ovldont that thoro Is now existing n shortngo of both. That moans thnt prlcos must soon start upward. How long tho upward trend will ho doforrod, I do not know. That Is too much to prophesy, but. Bo long as thoro Is a rush on tho part of stockmen to put their cnttlo on tho market prices will remain low," contluuod Mr Nlckol. "This Is but n periodical trip to Inspect tho company's ranches, nnd Is not pocullnrly significant. Wo nro planning upon soiling our holdings In Harney county when' thoy havo boon subdivided following tho form ation of Hit Irrigation district and tho completion of tho projoct thoro. It is usoloss, wo bollovo, to expect a land movement in this country until conditions aro more settled, especially In tho Ilarnoy valloy until tho Irrigation system for Hnrnoy valloy tins boon complotod. "Thoro Is no movement for land sottlomont In California, and It Is useless to oxpect ono here, nt the prosont tlmo. I bollovo that until frolght rntos aro adjusted, nnd tho wost can got Its products to the con suming markot, thoro is not likely to bo a general demand for western lands. However wo will bo ready to put our lands on the market then. In fact thoy have boon on tho markot for somo tlmo. "Wo have no plan for tlin dis position of tho lands In Malheur county, that Is wo havo not plannod on subdividing thorn. They nro on tho market to be sold, but unfor tunately thoro is no ono who wants to buy big stock ranches at this time." A, II. Olson, superintendent of tho company's Orogon holdings met Mr. Nlckol horo with Mr. Nickel's chauffour who drove his big car up from California. examination showed ono pheasant dead, but no sign of a cat, but lo and bohold, there was an owl sitting on the fence. Mr. Kroessln took a shot, and In the dark could not be certain of the results. So again he watched, and soon nnother owl ap peared and again ho shot. When after a long Interval noth ing happened he wont to sleep only to bo awakened agan by the warn ing of the pheasant cock, and before ho could reach the coop another bird was klllod, but this time ho found the owl at work and proved conclusively the murderer. All Monday morning ono owl roosted on the barn of the J. A. 8prlnger home, but disappeared at noon when Mr, Springer hunted for It; but Dert Emtson located it Mon day ovenlng In tho trees noar the Emlspn home and Mr. Kroessln was notified, Tho owl is no moro, and Mr. Kroessln's pheasants are again returning to normal, no longer be ing frightened to death with the ap proach of everyone. The owls which did the killing were those which were on display at the Dig 4 pool halt for several months. They were liberated last Wednesday and, soon found the pheasant yard. Though Mr. Kroes sln has lost $60 worth of pheasants ho is glad to have solved the mys tery, and thus save the remainder of hla flock of SO birds, which the State of Texas baa made an offer for.
