Thinking ho would run into some small animal In the act of killing the chickens Mr. Kelley followed the sound, and soon a strange sight met his gaze. Four young chickens were fluttering and floundering in the meshes of this herb or grass, and were unable to extricate themselves. A close examination showed that they were stuck fast and could not get nway. One of the bunches of this grass brought to us is pretty well filled with downy feathers. Thc grass Is about 18 inches high, and toward the top a peculiar brown sticky substance ? oozes out. Tho chickens, running at large in the grass, were caught hy this gluey sub stance. The grass has dried out con siderably, still the sticking qualities remain, and tho bunches have served as fly-catchers In The Courier office for a few days. We do not kr.cw what the herb or grass Is, hut it Is doubtless one of some medicinal pro perties. Neither Mr. Kelley nor Mr. Cannon had ever noticed lt before their attention was attracted to it by the cries of tho chicks._ (Additional "Local and Personal" on Fifth Page.) .J T. E.
