Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

The large owl, the veteran of the Santiago campaign, that has been at Wilkerson Bros.’ grocery store, is dead. The bird escaped Spanish and American bullets only to die a violent and tragic death. Friday night last week it caught one of its feet in the wire cage, and when the store was opened Saturday morning the bird’s foot was found hanging to the cage where the owl had pulled it off, and the bottom of the cage splattered with blood. The unfortunate owl was killed to put it out of its misery. Wilkerson Bros, will have to owl stuffed.
