This is what a big black crow tells I the neighborhood about Eaat Tenth and I Ft Uln streets every morning. He tella It In loud "caws'' and emphasises the I command by pecking at the window pane with hla bill. Jim Crow, that's the bird's name, to owned by Archie Cain, the son of Frank .'Cain, a prominent musician of this city. The bird was given to young Cain . shortly after being found In a neat, by a friend. Being owned by the son of a musician he takes special delight In visiting the homes of neighboring mu sicians who ply the trade at the thea tres and consequently do not get home until the wee hours 'of the morning. These are the people that Jim Crow de lights in waking up at 5 a. m. It's no use in swearing that this Is not your rising time for Jim Crow believes that every one should be' up in time for breakfast. The fact that your bedroom j la on the second floor or that you change your roam once In a while makes practically rj difference to Mr. Crow, for he'll find you In time to tell you that It's 5 o'clock. Waking people up at an early hour fs not the only , pastime of this black crow. He'a fall of mischief. A friend of the Csln family was visiting at the house a short time ago. It waa during ' the warm weather and this guest, being rather fleshy, hied himself out into tlic garden and laid down in the grass In an effort to be comfortable. He soon fell Into a sleep. To rest was not 'hla por tion, however, for Jim Crow did not be lieve In sleeping during the day time. H4 started out by untying the guest's hoes. Then he very calmly tied the strings into knots as a sort of punish ment, much the same way those naugh ty boys tied your clothea when you went in swimming. The sleeper still being In the land of nod waa too much for Jim ao he started on another tact and began taking everything out of the sleeper's pockets. A small watch and several small coins were taken but Jim la no real thief and he placed the ar ticles alongside his sleeping victim. ThinkiejK there might be something wrong with the man after all, the bird began to. peck at his side with hla beak and then beat his wings in the man's face. This soon brought him out all light and then you ought to have seen Jim Crow run and fly. Jim Is the terror of the stray cats and dogs that Infest the Falling street neighborhood and woe to the one that enters his sacred domain. "He la the best bird I ever saw." says Mrs. Cain, "and his youthful owner would not part with him for all other playthings that could tie mentioned. At present he to at home but not to cats or dogs." CHANGE CHECK TRICK CAUSES RESTAURANT MAN SOME AGONY "I've Juat been done done to a frssale!" exclaimed a well known Port land reetauranteur yesterday, bang ing the "no sale" key of Ms cash regis ter three times Just to show how Indig nant ha felt "Did you aee that dudlah-looklng young man who Juat went out of here? Well, I'd bet a hundred-dollar bill that he's the sldeklcker of another one who went through that door less than 10 minutes sgo.

HOUGHTON CAUSED ARREST OF AUTO HOLD-UP MEN Tipped Off the Secret to Bruin, Who Took Credit for Particularly Excel lent Bit of Detective Work He Did Not Perform. ' , Some Interesting sidelights on the methods In vogue In the bureau of crim inal Investigation of the locaj polios de partment In the apprehension of male factors and the detection of crime, were furnished yesterday by Jets Hall, the convicted highwayman, during the pre liminary examination of "Chick" Hough ton, a notorious ex-convict, who is ae cused of having stolen a pair of trousers from a Third street second-hand dealer That the arrest of Hall and hla accom plice, Bernard, for their holdup of an automobile on the Llnnton road two weeks ago. was not due to the vaunted Sherlock Holmes method of deduction of Captain Brain, but to information supplied by Houghton, acting "stool pigeon" of the police department, - Is now made evident by the testimony of Hall in the municipal court yesterday morning. Heavily manacled and guarded by Ser geant Baty, Hall was brought from the count v lall to testify against Houghton In order that the oath might be admin istered one of the bracelets was unfast ened from his wrist, but a detective waa ever at his elbow as he sat In the wit ness chair, to frustrate any possible at tempt to make a dash for freedom. Houghton and his counsel, Attorney McDevltt, occupied a position facing the convicted footpad. Hall's glances la the direction of his betrayer boded IU for Houghton' If an opportunity presented, while the ex-convlct from time to time furtively looked at his former pal. all Tells Xls Story. Deputy District Attorney Hanay con ducted the examination for the state. Hall answered the questions propounded In almost Inaudible monosyllables. He stated that in company with Houghton ho had visited a second-hand store on Third street to purchase two revolvers. While In the establishment he testified that Houghton had stolen a pair of trousers. Upon croBs-extamlnatlon the defense en deavored to show that Hall and not Houghton had taken the garments In question, but the convict stuck to his original story. "Standing In the abadow of the peni tentiary are you sure that Houghton committed the theft?" asked Attorney McDevltt In a melodramatic manner. "I am not lying about the matter," answered the witness. "He took the pants. I had nothing to do with It." Than McDevltt to prove that Hall waa prejudiced, brought out the testimony re flecting upon Bruin's detective abilities. Is It not a fact that you are particu larly bitter against Houghton? because he Informed Bruin where you could be found?" waa the Interrogatory. "Tee, I naturally feel bitter against him," frankly replied Hall, "for be traying me." Deputy Haney Inquired! the reason for the purchase of the pistol, and Hall testified that Houghton and himself in tended to hold up a train. "I don't think we would have held up anything," he added. "It waa the booze that waa talking." The witness on further cross-examination stated that he waa thoroughly sober now end that he could not be mistaken In his testimony relative to the theft of the trousers by Houghton. In order to allow the defense to Intro duce evidence the case was continued until next Wednesday. Hall was - led back In Irons to the county jail, where he will be held pending Houghton's trial In the elroult court la the event he le bound over. m very One a Bargain.
