           Grand Rapids Eagle: A few nights ago a big owl, flying
        about low at the intersection of Monroe and Ottawa streets,
        lit on a lamp-post there. The patrolman on duty at that
        point was seized with an ambition to capture the bird. He
        didn't care to use his revolver for he might hit more than
        one object with it, and so gathered up a big stone to try
        how expert he was in boyish tricks. He threw it, the owl
        didn't even blink, and he went the next day and paid for 
        a glass in a store front across the way, which he smashed.
