John Tharp spent the Thanksgiving week at Charley Beal's down at Crawfordsville and while there did a little pigeon shooting on Thanksgiving day. He bagged fourteen of the birds and the last one turned out to be a carrier pigeon. It had two bands on Its legs, a gold one on the right and an aluminum one on the left. The latter bore the Inscription AJ-19 TIM 27. On the inside of the gold band was the number 7760, which is said by bird men to be the number the bird was to bring back. Just where the bird came from is hard to tell, but the 10 would seem to indicate that it was turned loose In 1919.
