Valley for the past quarter of a century. He sald he was standing in his yard when he heard a faint tinkling of a bell, which sounded much Iike a sleigh bell. It sounded overhead and glancing up all hecould discover was @ buzzard lazily flapping by. As the bird yot farther away the tinkling became fainter until he could hear {t no Icnger. When he spoke of the matter, his children told him they had heard the bell at intervals for several days, but could not account for it. The story of the belled buz- zard was first heard from southeast Missouri just after the Civil war and {t has been reported from different points at intervals -ever since. Sometimes as far south as Mississipp! and again in Illinols, lowa and Mis- 2 sourl, but always the musical tink searching party found his coat and ling of the bell announces {ts presence. he was given two meals, a new hat, How and by whom {t wae belled io|® ticket to Kansas City, and some as mucha mystery as ‘who belled change in his pocket by popular sub- thecat?” Col. dim saw the bird and|®Tiption.
