EAGLE HERALDS WAR APPROACH TO HILL TRIBE Ozark Natives Associate Arrival of Bird With Bloody Conflict. Bv United press BIRCH TREE, Mo„ April 4.—Jim Hill killed a large black eagle and turned it over to a deputy game warden recently. According to ancient legend prevailing about the Wild Irish neighborhood, the appearance of this eagle portends the approach of another war. Jim Hill's grandfather, a noted fighter, lived in Virginia. Just before the war of 1812, a huge black eagle soared over their plantation. It was killed by one of the Hill boys, and soon they marched away to fight. In 1860 the sons of the Virginia hill, five in numtpcr, moved on to Jack's Pork creek in the Irish wilderness country, and here they have remained since. The Hills, Rooneys, Davises and others are their kith and kin, and these pioneers dominate the rural districts in several Ozark counties. They are pioneers who hold to the many traditions, legends and superstitions that come up with hill country people. The Hills are believers that the approach of a black eagle means a war may be expected. Just before the Civil war issued It* call to the mountain folk, a huge black eagle appeared in the Jack’s Fork region and was killed. Three of the Hills enlisted, and two lost their lives. The one who returned Is the father of the young man who killed the eagle a few days ago. Again in 1898 before the call for the Spanish war volunteers, and again In 1917 when the World war

DEATH CLAIMS 'JUNKMIROKER Old Financier Dealt Only in Worthless Stocks. Bv Unit'd Press NEW YORK. April 4. The strangest broker on Wall Street—a man who made a living for fifty years dealing only In securities that were worthless—is dead. He was Roland M. Smythe, dubbed by his intimates in the financial district the “Junkman,” and was perhaps the country’s greatest authority on obsolete securities. Although he had conducted a business in more valuable stocks and bonds at the beginning of his career, he drifted into the other field when he found it promised real profits. Smythe’s office was a dusty, twelve-by-eight room, full of thousands of securities not worth stealing, H probably was the only man of finance in Manhattan who had no telephone. For forty years he argued with the telephone company to list his name in the directory as: “Roland Smythe, No. 2 Broadway—no telephone,” but the company would not be persuaded. His operations without a telephone were an idiosyncrasy, he feeling that he could get along more quietly and efficiently without telephonic interruptions. The stocks he bought and sold were listed as worthless, though occasionally a lot unexpectedly would turn out to have value. Customers knew they were gambling when they bought. Town Stands Still! tin United Press MT. WASHINGTON, Mass., March 4.—No births or deaths were recorded in this little Berkshire county town during 1929.
