DR. THOMAS TOBIN, Warriors Mark: 



Last May a phea.=ant hawk seized a young chick not niur*' 

 than twenty feet away from me. I ran toward it and yelled 

 and the hawk dropped the chick after it had raised ten or 

 fifteen feet; in many instances they get away with them. A 

 few years ago I heard a noise among a drove of chicks in a 

 wheat field. I ran and saw a weasel catch a young chick by 

 the throat, and in an instant it was dead. I spi-ang among 

 them; they were trying to conceal themselves; the weasel run- 

 ning about my feet hunting another chick, and with all my 

 striving and stamping- T could nnt catch it.
