Show BLUEJAY ENDS CHICKEN FIGHT Interested Referee Finally Steals Prize From Hen, Rooster and Guinea. A black hen, a game rooster and a guinea hen on the farm of Samuel Dodd, near the Passaic county line, discovered and fought for nearly an hour over a good-sized rat which had been crippled by the rooster. Each bird asserted its claim to the prize in the best way it could. When the fighting was tiring the combatants, along came a bluejay which settled the swnership by picking up the rat and flying into a corncrib. The farmhands and others who had watched the battle asserted that the bluejay's trick entitled the bird to all the honors that have been heaped upon up-on the species. |
