( ietipral Crook , on the 10th of Isovnm-
bor , 1870 , having nrrnngcd all the details
for tlio winter campaign against the
SKIUV' , movi'd out from I'ort Laramie
with two thoiifrmd ttoops , infantry and
cavalry , and inarched to Forl Fotterinan ,
romalninf ? there about a week. In or
ganizing llio expedition General ( Jrook
had authorized the enlistment ot a num
ber of Arapahoe , Cheyenne and Sioux
scouts , some of whom had boon captured
in the villages of Hod Cloud and Swift
Jloar. There were in the command
( ik'Von Aranhoes , about fifly Choyennes
and i\ty Sioux.
One day , while at I'ort Fettcrman ,
' * General Crook Baid to Major North : "Tho
C'hoyonno and Sioux scouts are complain
ing to mo that your Pawnees are keeping
thumselvct ; too distant and cool , and thai
they will not conic near them nor asso
ciate with them in any way , The Chey-
eiiiicsanil Sioux say thai as they arc now
holdlurs they would like to be friundn
with the Pawnees. "
"To innko thorn fricn'ds , general , " said
Major North , "will bo n very dilllcult
thing , as they have been the bitterest
oncmics for many years An undying
hatred has long existed between them,1'
nnd thereupon he related to the general
the history of their enmity. " .Now , gen
eral , if yon wish to issue an order com
manding the Pawnees to nmko up with
tluiir bitterest enemies , " continued the
major , " 1 will do all In my power lo have
it obeyed. "
"Nn ; I don't wish to force them against
their will to bo friendly. Yet , if they
were friendly , 1 dclieve it would bo holler
for all concerned,11 said ( jonoral Crook.
" \Voll , I'll talk to my Pawnees about
It , ami hear what they have to sav , " re
plied the major as ho took Ids departure.
The Pawnees , however , wore not in
clined to do anything of the kind. They
said that thuJJioux had no moro love for
them tlian they had for the Sioux , and
that the Sioux , wore merely making a pre-
Ipnso of wishing to become friends so that
they could have a bettor opportunity ot
getting their captured horsea back" from
the Pawnees , among whom a largo num
ber oj the horses , lin.d been distributed.
I ho next move of the command was to
I-ort Hei'.C ) , on the Powder river , whore it
> va-- joined by about one hundred Sho-
ehone scontfl under Tom Cosgrovc , their
head chief being the son of old Waslia-
kie. At this point tlio Sioux again com-
'
jilalncd to General Crook of tho'continucd
cool treatment of the Pawnees , and Ihe
general accordingly
HIUI COUNCIL
for the purpose of adjusting the matter
if possible. There present at this council
the Cheyennes , the Sioux , the Shoshoncs.
nnd the Pawnees. The general Impressed
upon their minds the necessity ot being
friends , temporarily at least , ns they
would be obliged lo move along together
in the command and po.isibly engaged in
battle together where united action would
bo of thu utmost importance. The In
dians in starting out on the 'expedition
were well .supplied with uniforms. The
Pawnees appeared at the council in full
uniform , but some of the Sioux and
Choyi'iincH attended in lull war dress.
Major North and Tom Cosgrovo noticed
this and called the attention of General
Crook to tlm fact. They maintained thai
these Indians ought nol to bo allowed in
the council , which had been called for
the purpose of creating a bctlcr feeling
among the scouts , hut the- general con
cluded to pay but little attention to the
matter. In continuing his remarks to thu
Indians tlio general said , "You , us well as
ourselves , are the servants of the Great
Father at Wiiihinton | , anil wo all ought
to ( Irevs in the uniform ot the soldier , and
for the time being wo all ought to bo
bro'hors. ' "
Some of the Indians arose in turn and
niado speeches , saving that they under
stood the object of the council , and that
they intended to net in accordance with
the goueral'K wi.ihcs ami bo brothers.
nnd , walking ncrons the clrcloto * * the
Pawnees , shook hands with Frame White ,
one of their seigcants , and then present
ing him with a horse , said , "Brother we
want to to bo friends , and as un evidence
of my sincerity I give you this horse. "
White accepted the gift , and returned his
thanks in a very graceful manner , adding
that ho ; too , desired to bo friendly. It
ivnb qmto nn aflccting scene , ami did moro
to Miiolhor tlie ill feeling between thu
Pawnees and Sioux than anything ul.se.
The council was then dismissed and the
Indians dispersed , and from that time
inoro amicable relations existed among
nil the scouts , particularly between thu
Pawnees and Shoshones a branch of the
Comauchus who had never met the
Pawnees before. The Pawnees having
rccenlly come up from the Indian torn-
toiy , whore thu Comanchcs were living ,
p.ivo to llio Shoshoiifls much interesting
information concerning the former.
From I'ort Keno the command marched
to Crazy oiimn'sFork , whorothoy were
to go into camp for hovoial days. It
> vas expected to ni'jt't at this point some
Sioux scouts whom General Crook had
hi-nt into tlio Powder river country lo us-
certain if possible thu location of Crazy
llor.-o and hid party. As .soon as the com
mand was settled in camp , General
Crook deride.d to send
A SCOUTING I'AKTV
into the Big Horn mountains , and ho ac.
cordingly ordered out , General MnKonzio
with ( light hundred troops , together with
nearly all the Indian scouts the Paw-
no ( , Siouv , Arnpiihous , Choyonncs , ami
iSlio honcd. Major North , accompanied
by hih brother , took about seventy of tin
Pawnees. On thu lin-t day out General
JMcKonzio marched to Powder river , dis
taut twenty miles , nnd them hunt out twc
Anipnhoo nnd tivo Sioux scouts at nighl
to uxploru llio mountains for Indians ; i :
well as to tind a routes of march for tin
next day ,
At II o'clock the next morning the com *
inand moved across the country , towards
the mountains , and at noon thu fem
wonts , who had Ven out nil night , returned
turned juid reported to General ilclvon
zio that they hud found an Indian village
nn u tributary of the Powder rivei
They lated that to avoid discovery ii
would bo ndvl&ablo to march no furtliei
that day , but to keep 11 $ much out of sigh1
ns possible until dark , aiul then I-CMIUU
the march on the vlJlago/ General Me
Kouxio , uctintr upon this Information
moved his men into u deep canon , at the
foot of the mountains , and ronminei
then ) all afternoon. When night ; cuiu :
thu march was resumed ovura very rougl
country , and was kept up all night. Tliej
ifi
frequently had to go through deep ra
vines or canons , so imrow that it was
impossible for more than ono horse to
] > a s through at a time , and the troops
had to string out into single file. After
pa s'ng ' through a canon the troop ? gal
loped up together again nnd formed in n
column of fours. U was a terrible march ,
and as daylight approached the men felt
considerably relieved. Just before thu
break of day they heard in the distance
the monotonuiH beating of Indian drums
and the intormin < : lltig pongs and war-
whoops. The Indians were having
A SCAU- HANOI : ,
and had kept it up all night long It was
in honor of a successful raid wliich they
had made into the Wind river mountains ,
'whoro they had killed and scalped n party
of nine Shoshone Indians , who were hunt
ing bnll'iloo : ? . Hy careful observation of
the scouts , who had been sent forward to
reconnoitre , it was ascertained that thu
village consisted of one hundred anit
eighty lodges , or about fourteen hundred
persons , among whom were four hundred
stalwart warriors , and also that they
wore Cheyennes under command of the
famous , chlefd Dull-Knife and Little Wolf.
The Indians were located in a pocket or
largo opening of the mountain' ' ) , into
which it was impossible to move with
cavalry u ccnl at one point , and this was
at nn opening through which u creel :
passed ,
or.NKtt.vi. M'KINZIR :
halted the command and summoning the
comnany commanders ho gave them his
instruction ! * regarding the plan of attack
upon the village. Major North , with his
Pawnee scouts and the Sho'shones , accor
ding to instruction ? , moved along the
left bank of the creek. General McKenzie -
zie , with the balance of the command ,
marched up the opposite side of the
stream. The route was Indeed a perilous
one , particularly on the left bank , where
Major North was marching. The moun
tain was very steep and the paths ran
along the Mountain-side like terrace
work. The hoi > o.s had to move very cau
tiously , for had a horse missed his foot
hold , no would have fallen down over
precipi ices for two hundred orthree him-
dred 'cot ' lo be dashed to pieces at fhe
bottom with his rider. The troops with
great difficulty passed through this small
.opening ill the mountains and emerged
upon the edge of the pocket , when sud
denly they baw before them , in the open
plain , the Indian village , distant perhaps
three quarters ot a mile.
General McKcnssie at once ordered his
chief bugler
TO sou'xu Tiin nuAitni : ,
ami instantly the nolo-i of the bugle ran' '
forth loud and clear , and away dashed
thu whole command at full
gallop toward the village. .Major
North charged along the mountain side ,
while General MoKon/.io Jed his cavalry
un llio opposite bank of the crock. When
within a few hundred yards of the village
ono of the Pawnee hcoilts who had been
assigned to duly \vith General Mi-Ivon/.ie ,
called out to Major North in llio Pawnee
language that General JdcKoti'/.io wished
him to cross the creek witli his command.
Major North at that time was about to
make : i charge on the village , and had a
splendid opportunity for a
mtiu.iANT ANO ii : > pi : < jTivr. HASH.
It was with considerable disappoint
ment that he received the order trom
General AIoKcii/.iu. However , as soon as
he reached a point where ho could cross
thccrcek.he turned to the ngiit and order
ed him to follow him across the btrcam ,
which was very deep , muddy and miry ,
and in making the ciossing twenty-live
or thirty horses got stuck in the mud.
Dul they all linally got over and joined
the balance of the command with General
McKcnzio. By this time the excitement
necest > arv to make a good dasii had some
what subsided , but nevertheless the
charge wag made upon the village with a
great deal of spirit and enthusiasm.
The Indians , who had just concluded
their scalp-dance , bad retired to lest , and
fallen asleep. A few squaws , however ,
had started lircs to conk some bullalo
meat. Otherwise a peaceful miiet reigned
throughout their camp , ana upon retir
ing they had not the slightest suspicion
that in a little while they were to bo com
pletely , supriscd and routed by an enemy.
Upon hearing the shouts of the Indian
scouts witli General McKcn/.io's com
mand , and the clatter of the horses'
hoofs , they sprang up from their sleep in
thu greatest consternation and emerged
from their touts to see tlio enemy close
upon them. The warriors instantly
broke aud ran pell-mell in every direction
on foot , not having time to reach and
mount their horses , which they were
compelled to leuvo behind. The cavalry
men on the first dash through the village
killed live or six of tlio Cheyennes ami
scatlcred tlie fugitives , who lied into the
canons and skipped from rock lo rock
until they reached a safe distance. They
then began
nin riKB
of the soldiers in a very lively manner ,
killing lieutenant McKinncy , of the
Fourth cavalry , at the first volley. It
was impossible for the cavalrymen to
reach thorn , and thereupon they dis
mounted and adopted the Indian method
of lighting , dodging from rock to rock ,
and hrmg at every available opportunity.
The Cheyenne ? had got their families up
the almost perpendicular mountain .side
by protecting them from their breast
works and keeping the boldiors back.
At tor they had accomplished this , the
warriors became moie desperate , bold
and reckless. They charged down upon
the soldiers from time to time , and then
rapidly retreated to places of safety
when thu trojps began to get the bettor
of thorn. The light was thus kept up all
day without cessation , back aud forth ,
and was hotly contested.
During the whole light General Me-
Kcn/.io conducted himself in the most
gallant manner , constantly exposing
him-olf to the lire of the enemy by riding
over the open Hold of battle from one
portion of his command to another , giv
ing his instructions us coolly as if Micro
was not the least danger. While ho was
going across the open plain from the
main command to a detachment distant
about live hundred yards , the Indians di-
looted their full file at him but ho escaped
uninjured. Ono of the shots , however ,
lodged in the pommel of his saddle. Jnat
after this incident lie stint an orderly to
Major North and Lieutenant North to
older them to report to him ut once , and
in galloping auryss the open space which
had Just boon traversed by General Mo-
Kniuio- J iajor North and his brother received -
' ceived two or three volleys fiom the In
dian * , but Ihoy protected thenib'elves by
lying down upon their her cs in Indian
fashion , and thus escaped injury. Two
soldiers boon afterwards attempted to
nmko the neiilous trip on foot , but they
wore both shot , ono being killed and the
other wounded. It was regarded by all
as a mlraclo that General MoKonziu was
not killed on that day ,
When darkness came the lighting
coai-ed. The loss of General McKonzie's
command was ; Lieutenant McKinney
and six .soldiers killed und boventccn
wounded. The Cheyennca lost about
twenty killed , and about forty wounded ,
iome. of whom afterwards died ,
The lodges in thu abandoned village
were still standing , and fearing that the
Indians might during the night make a
dash with thu hope of sccuriuc some of
their supplies , General McKeuzio located
his camp in such u position as to cover
the village , while Major North : uid his
Pawnees camped in the center of it. The
Indians tired occasional bhots at the vil
lage , but did not do any damage , until
somu of the Pawnees built n lire to cook
bomn bullalo moat , largo quantities ol
which were found in the lodges. The
( Jhoyonnes now had
SOMinitlA'O TO SHOOT AT ,
as the lira made quite a bright light. Their
bullets struck cloao to the spot witoro the
lire was located , scattering the dirt in
every diiretinn and sending some ol jl
into the trying pans. Tno Pawnees were
very hungry , having had nothing to oat
nil day , and notwithstanding the bullets
they continued to prepare their meat ,
which was soon ready. A\ hen they ml
down to cat , however , the rhcyennes
opened fire on them with moro vigor than
ever , and succeeded in killing a corporal.
Although the CJioycnnes worn linnc at
very long range. Major North saw that
they would probably continue liring all
niglit and occasionally pick oil a man
Ho accordingly had breastworks thrown
up at once with the abandoned
pack ? of bullalo moat , behind which the
Pawnees tound themselves safe from the
shots of the enemy , and then Jay down to
rc t with a feeling of security.
During tlio night a heavy snow storm
began , and by morning the ground was
covered with live or "ix inches of snow ,
and the storm wa still continuing. Gen
eral MeKciu.io ordered the destruction of
the Cheyenne village at once. Accor
dingly the torch was applied and soon
KVr.itVTiuxo WAS nunxin :
up. It was a very rich \ illage. Over one
thousand saddles were * destroyed , to
gether with a great number of bullalo
robes ami a largo quantity of buflulo
meat. As It was impossible to reach the
Chcyotincs in their mountain fastnesses ,
General McKen/o ! gave orders to pre
pare for the return" march to Official
Crook's camp on Cra/y Woman's Fork.
A sulliclent number of travois were made
to carry tile dead and wounded , and this
work conMitnod nearly all morning. At
noon the captured horses , about Gr > 0 , were
gathered together , and the command
started on the return trip , which pioved
a very slow and hard march on account
of the heavy snow and the transportation
of the wounded men , who suffered
greatly , one of whom died on the lh > t
lay's march. On the fifth day General
McKouzio ordered a disliibution of the
captured Morses among the Indian eouts.
The next day the command reached
General Crook's camp. General Crook
was greatly pleased with the rosull of the
expodit'.on , aud ho highly complimented
General McKon/.io anil Ids command.

down the canon on their way north.
.Major North , under instructions from
General Crook , sent out Ids biothcr with
three Pawnees on the same day to discov
er the trail if possible. They did not
sueceoJ , however , as thu snow was
cigiiteen inches dec ) ) , aud had covered
all trace of them. .
' These Cheycnues finally went down the
valley of the Powder river to its mouth ,
and during the inarch about forty ol their
number , including some of the wounded
ones and some of the children , died from
cold and exposure. They wore in very
destitute circumstances , and applied to
Crazy Horse , who was camped at the
mouth of Powder river , for assistance
and protection , but for some reason ho
would neither receivo.them n.orgive them
any aid. They Ihon turned their faces
southward and came into Ked Cloud
agency and surrendered.
General Crook now marched his com
mand to l-'ort Keno , thoneo up the Dry
Fork of Powder river to a point seven
teen miles from Fort Keno. The next
inovo was to the northeast , towards Pump
kin Unites. Upon reaching the liell
.bourche river they marched down that
stream about one hundred miles , and
went into camp , where they stayed for
two weeks. General Crook now returned
to Fort Laramie , on llio 10th of January ,
1877 , and llio expedition was there broken
up. The Pawnees proceeded to Sidney ,
where they remained until the 1st of May ,
\ \ hen they were mustered out and sent
back to the Indian territory , This
was the last time that they were enlisted
in the military survico.
The Chcyennes who surrendered at
Red Cloud agency were held there as
military prisoners until the spring of 1877 ,
when they were sent to Fort Iteiio , in the
Indian territory.and placed under control
of the agent of the Southern Cheyennes.
They were very much opposed to going
to the Indian territory , and never became
satisfied with their now location. They
frequently requested the government to
send them back to the north , but their
petitions were always refused. Finally ,
in September , 1878 , they loft their rcso'r-
valiou and made their memorable march
up through the Indian territory and
through Kansas and Nebniskamurdering
and plundering on the way , uiul creating
tlio greatest terroi and excitement among
the frontier settlements. They were fol
lowed by the military , who , after u long
chase , took a portion of them prisoners
and confined them in the old quarters at
Red Cloud agency. Ono cold night in
October they broke out of the building
and overcoming Ihe guard killing three
and wounding four with pistols which
they had managed to keep concealed ,
they rushed out into tlie darkness and
lied through the buow. The boldiers

Philadelphia llec-ord : A Phllad'-lnhia
lady while in fans last summer noticed
hitting opposite at the table a little boy
about nine yours old who attracted her
attention by constantly looking at licr.
When Urn boy saw what scouted to bo n
look of encouragement ho bowed and
smiU-d , When the lady an 1 the boy mot
in the hull * ho would bow and evidently
try to say ' ' (5ood morning1' or " ( Seed
ovcninj : . " lint ho inado only a faint
sound. This seemed so strange that the
lady asked a servant wliy the ohild never
made any noise , for , although ho nlajod ,
ho novur .shouted as did tlio other chil
dren. The answer was : "lie was bom
dumb. "
This statement excited the lady's inter
est , and one day she took occasion to
speak to the mother. One of the lir.it
things llio mother saUl wasi "You know
my boy cannot hearV" Then she told of
her llfu's work. She is a native of Xow
York state , about forty-four joais of
age , and her husband Is a United States
naval oflleer. The first , live years of
their married life was spout in
Washington , U.U llorolde.st cliild when
born is what is generally called "deaf
and dumb. " This mother bald ehildun
are born deaf but never dumb , that all
babies make a noise when they cry. She
ale said that if mothers whoao ciitldicn
who were born without the son o of hearing -
ing would teach the little on as to dis
tinguish for themselves the sounds that
are pleasant from those thai arc dis
agreeable. by tlie position of the mouth
and throat , there would be fewer dumb
persons in the world , perhaps none.
This mother discovered when her boy
was live years old that he was not de
veloping the power of spoeeh and that
some unusual efforts must be made to
encourage him She gave up all society
to devote herself to him. She inquiied
into all the methods then known for edu
cating the dumb , and tried them. She
has nad seven children , only two of
whom are ILvinc , the oldest boy now
twenty , and the other nine years old , and
they are both deaf.
Sixteen of the past twenty years she has
spent in hospitals , asylums , institutions
and medical schools. She has mastered
ami tried each now method as it lias been
developed. 'She has not only learned
all thai could help her to teach and edu
cate her children , but has ako acquired a
perfect knowledge of the human body.
Nerves , bones , muscle , all have been
.studied by her. She met with much opposition -
position , notonlyfrom outside critics but
Irom members of her own husband's '
family , who' looked upon her ailiictod
children as "a visitation of Providence. "
Her answer Was that she was not con
scious of having Committed a. sin which
deserved so great a punishment , and she
did not inten'd to sit down and accept it
until she had inside a desperate effort teat
at least lighten the burden of her child-
roll's Hilllction. 'And now , after sixteen
years the oldest boy can talk so well that
scarcely any one is aware of Ids alllio-
tion , aua _ the youngest one is steadily
improving , but ho does not know
that ho is dillbreiit from others , and
thinks that to understand every one must
look at the talker. This is lip-reading.
At the table , or inywhoro that his mother
wishes him to know anything , and docs
not want to attrtict attention by having
him turn his head to look at her , she can
talk to him by placing the palm of her
hand against the palm of his hand. By
touching dillqront places she. can tell him
what she wishes him to know. Each
joint or mount of the lingers and hand
represents a letter of 1 lie alphabet. He
reads in tins way with marvelous rapid
ity , and ean answer with equal quick
ness. She can also talk to him by placing
her hand on his shoulders , where differ
ent parts are understood to represent
dilliircnt letters. Ho has been , taught to
wrto ( in u stvlo which looks very much
like Arabic , and no matter what the sen
tence or , n.oro dilliciilt still , the proper
naiuo , ho can read it butter than the av
erage child of his ago can reail a strange
name. Each stroke , each sliade of this
strange writing indicates a position of
the month , throat or tongue. The child
is as bright and clever as most children ,
and much more alfectionato than most
boys.
bo much for the child. Now think of
what the mother has done ! She has not
only had to clothe and educate her chil
dren , and sec thallhoy were sent to good
schools , but she has had to go day by day
tor sixteen years side by side with these
children ; has been their only teacherjhas
liad to devote nearly every waking hour
of each day to them. There has not been
one month's rest from the worK , nor has
she been able to feel that at the end of a
year or two the work would be done. It
will never be done until they can talk
"
flnd bo like ether boys and "men. She
gives at least lour houra every day to the
personal instruction of the little
cliild , and two or throe hours
moro to reading and study ,
that she may always bo in a condi
tion ot mental drill to meet any emer
gency. For many yearn bhu was haunted
by the fear thai she micht fail , but her
success has exceeded her fondest hopes.
She is bright and happy , and thinks
very little of her great and beautiful tin-
selfishness , believing that she has only
done what her hand found to do ,
One day she said : "If you over meet
any mothers with deaf children , calinlt
dumb , tell them there are no dumb chil
dren. 1'ell them of mine , ami what a
mother's love and patience can do. "
Could a woman moro worthily boar the
name of mother than this one ( Iocs ? And
there have been few women who have so
richly deserved a crown and a great ro-
waidforan ex'orcisoof patience and love.

itis thought that Taswoll made n full con-
foswlon , which wllli'learup the mystery
that has been pu/.7.1ing the Jlontgomory
county authorities for ( lit1 past month.
It was rumored that thu confession waste
to this ell'ect : Ttiswt'll had donnts of his
wife's fidelity , and on the nlizht of her
death resolved to watch hpr. Ilo loft her
at Mr. Abbott's and told her ho would-
meet her at llio house later In the oven-
ing. He came earlier than the tlmo ap
pointed , and remained among the shrub
bery near the gate.Vhon Mrs. Taswcll
came out the liiisband .stepped forward
and she accosted him by another name.
As she drew near she reeogni/.cd her hus
band , and giving a scream she throw up
her hands and fell to the ground senseless.
Taswoll attempted to restore the woman
to cptu'ciousncss , but found his efforts un
availing. U suddenly Hushed on him that
she was dead , aud that he might bo ac
cused of her murder if seen neat the
body. With frantic haste ho picked up
tholiodyaud carried it to the spring
house , where it was afterwards found ,
lie hurriedly iclurned lo the stable , and
witli great oll'urt icsunied his usual demeanor
meaner , conscious that ho WIIH nota mur
derer. Ilo determined to say nothing ,
and would have remained silent had no
not been arrested. This , it is stated , was
tlio substance ot tlio confession Taswoll
is supposed to have made lo Mr. Corson ,
and , if true , it is said will probably result
in Taawell being released.

At linllimiiioe this week a retreat tor tlio

Monday and'Tuesday was specially sot
apart for women and the remaining days
lor innn. On Monday nighl a very largo
congregation assembled , among whom
was noticed a woman of nbout thirty
years of ago , whoso dress nnd style were
not in keeping with the newest fashions.
She were an ordinary linoey dress , nud n
cap not adapted for her joara. At the
close-she hud succeeded in getting to the
porch door when some ono , more auuto
than the rest , detected man's trousers
under the skirt. Tlio culpdl , seeing that
ho was detected , ran toward Tenrlund , .
followed by a crowd of people. The ladr
turned out to bo a stone cutler namou

has caused Indignation among the Cath

Jlo\v IluwlcH nnd Owls ISnt.
Atlanta Constitution : Caplahn Tom
Langston. who is ono of Atlanta's most
enthusiastic sDortsmen , sais : "Did you
over notice a hawk or an owl preparing
to make a meal on a bird ? The difleronco
in their methods is very great. A hawk
will first pick all the feathers oil' the bird
and then pick it to pieces a' it is devoured ,
lie goes at it in n very systematic and
dainty manner. Not so witli nn owl.
After killing a bird the owl swallows it
whole , feathers and all. He then bits
quietly , aud in an hour or so you will see
the owl move his neck about as if ho was
trying to untangle u knot in it. Then ho
will sort of hum ] ) his back , lower his
head , and the m\t : moment a bull of
feathers will roll out of his mouth. The
operation shows that the owl divests the
bird of its feathers after swallowing it
while the hawk plucks out every feather
and quill before ho takes n bite. "
