Horn, toll takers at the Plattsmouth bridge have developed quite a pet of a king bird that makes his home in the timber below the bridge. They call him "Bill." And he comes when they call him provided they exhibit the proper credentials, which is a live insect of some sort. Now "Bill" is a wise eld boy and can't be fool ed into coming for a dead insect. When a Journal employe was at the bridge yesterday, Albert sounded the call and held up -a live beetle. In a moment Bill swooped down to take' it from his hand, without the least fear or tiesitation. It being a hot day he had been down to the river for a bath and was still soaked. A large number of folks who have vis ited the toll station have marveled at the fearless manner in which the bird responds to the call for food, taking it from the hand of either Mr. Cotner or Mr. Horn.
