Unable to Obtain a Living in Winsted, Large Falcon Perishes Miserably. - <~ Winsted, Conn.—Loyal Higley of Canton, on going to his hennery the other morning, found, lying dead In front of the door, one of the largest hawks seen in these parts in years. Aparently the bird had succumbed to starvation due to inability to get food, this hard winter. Harvey Brown of Farmington saw &. brown animal making good time across the fields -of snow and gave chase ahd the animal climbed a tree. He managed to kill it and thought that he had a coon until it was on the ground, and then found that it was a woodchuck.
