MATILDA WINBECK- ER'S poultry yard and dog kennel in the rear of her home, i 641 Bush street, have caused the officers Af the California- street police station much worry during the last week and are likely to bring about an exodus of guests from the Hotel | Wentworth immediately overlooking their location. A rooster with a ‘“foghorn” crow, quacking ducks galore, and two dogs with weird howls, commence their barnyard chorus shortly after midnight | and keep it up until the sun is high in | the sky. No slumber do the hotel guests | get, and one lady has already sought a | more peaceable locality. The police have been appealed to time and again, but all to no avail. Mrs. Winbecker gave the final chapters to the story by telling the | police of mysterious hands that drop poisoned wheat, but the police seem over- whelmed with the complaints, pro and con, and are confused. | The first rooster crowed about two | months ago. Mrs. Winbecker at first offered to arbitrate and the guests and | hotel managers were ready purchasers | for her screeching fowl. Others came, though, and as fast as the roosters were sold others replaced them and the lady soon found that the rooster business paid well. The guests claim that they exact- ed a promise from Matilda that she should keep no more fowl and paid their good money on those lines. Each time, however, tne previous owner of the game replenished her supply and ralsed the price. First the roosters sold for $1 25; | then for $150, and now Mrs. Winbecker | says they are worth $3. The people who | are disturbed in their slumbers say they | would be willing to pay twice the last- named price if they could only receive a guarantee that their troubles would end here. : # flrro-.

Mrs. Dr. Green left the Wentworth three days ago on account of the noise, and Miss Jessup, employed in the internal revenue service, threatens to follow her. The proprietor of the hotel says that the last rooster can outcrow any chicken on earth and that the ducks are *‘dan- dies.” He made complaint to the police but was,informed that they ceuld take no action. Mre. Winbecker says she also has had occasion to invoke the aid of the law. “For the last two nights polsoned wheat has been thrown into my yard, and here is some of it she said, exhibiting a handful of cereals. ‘“The guests in the hotel should not be disturbed very much now, as I have to keep the roosters under boxes until I can sweep up the yard every morning. I admit t my chickens u-:lzleuodu:fiu: strong mtn,'but then the guests are always kicking.™ singeing the gold plated limbs of flock. Three weeks went by and though Meih- ling fed his new acquisitions everything from cracked wheat to pepsin tablets, never a egg was laid. Mefhling called on his friends. Police Judge C. T. Conlan was consulted. He looked the fowls over ‘and recommended that Meihling put them into active training. This was done. The chickens were fanned about the yard; up and down boards and over hurdles, but no eggs. How long Meihling might have been de- ceived is unknown. It happened, how- ever, that an old lady neighbor who had long watched his physical culture antics in the henyard came to his rescue. She #ald to him: “Professor, you have only three hens among 197 roosters.” Since then Meihling has known no peace.
