Buena Park Excited by Murder Among the Fowl of the Air.
    Fashionable Buena Park is excited over the execution of a little English sparrow. In no other city are birds as welcome as in Buena Park. Although Buena Park takes care of its feathered visitors, no scheme has as yet been devised to prevent the murder of a sparrow by its companions.
    The highest point of a tall tree in front of the home of Willard P. Stearns, president of the Buena Park Citizens Association was chosen as the place of execution.
    Six sparrows escorted a seventh to the top of the tree and there hanged the bird. The victum was suspended by his feet.
    J. D. McCune, manager for the Northwestern National Insurance Company, declared the victim had been executed by the other birds, probably for some crime in birdland.
