Flock of Lost Sea
Gulls Visit Here In
Body This Morning
Manv citizens were "rubber-
necking" skyward this morning
about 9 o'clock, and thinking that
a bevy of airplanes had come to
town, a Transcript reporter also
tore out the door and took a
peep.
It was discovered, however,
that it was not an airplane, but
a flock of sea gulls, snow white
except at the tips of the wings
and enormous in size. For more
than an hour they soared over
the city at various heights, of-
ten coming down almost to the
tons ot the tallest buildings.
It is known that they are in-
habitants of both oceans and the
Gulf of Mexico, but they are
never found inland. 1 he birds
appeared weak and in distress
and there seemed to he no lead-
ership. , . ,
It is believed that the birds
were wafted off the northwest
Pacific coast in the furious
storms of last week and hope-

I yesterday to those men tor approval.
I The matter was taken up and
j thoroughly threshed out by ^ the
! chiefs and managers and supervisor -
I all along the line, both w ith the
I Western Union officials and Santa

' showed letters written hv officials in
i Topeka. Kansas City. Newton. Dai-
lias, and manv other office cities, all
i of which showed that the company
] delved to the bottom of the cotu-
I plaints.

I In resnonse to a letter to the oper-
ator on duty here that night, he re-

1 ignorance to press matter, that he
had never sent any before.
The man had had experience with
the railroad messages and Westm
Union commercial stuff but te
down on press matter, the baseball
box score especially stumpinv mm. _
It is reported that compete! t and

here and will he as long as such men
are available. In the telegraph husi-

of skilled men exists and it is sonte-
