There were no eye-witnesses to the murder ' in the feathered kingdom at the lagoon. Peter Fox, the park superintendent, early this morning found the dead bodies of the two birds, and his knowledge "Of their -habits and the deathly strife between them during the .past fejgr weeks has satisfied him that the gl. .rs met last nights lit Were Hatching. Originally there were a . pair of black and a pair of white swans at the park. For a time they got along fairly well, although there was never any evidence of friendliness between them.

tioned the lagoon off to allot space for both pairs. Not satitii-d with this precaution he practically cooped up the black swans, and put a double fence around their s pen over which lie thought neither of the birds could reach. But last night the white swan sallied forth and swam back and forth In the front of the possessions of tho black swans. The fight was not car ried on at close quarters. Mr. Fox is satisfied that the male of the black swans died ofyexhaustion. It was aiso found that he had sustained a broken wing. The black female swan was found with its neck dislocated at the root. The only way Mr. Fox can ac count for this manner of death Is that the black female swan on one side 6f the fence nprmlttpd the U'littA mnlo swan on the other side to get hold of Its bill .thus giving the white bird an opportunity to exercise its extraordinary strength. They evidently locked In a death grip to the disadvantage , of the black queen. The birds cost $35 a piece. The black swans gave promise of hatching six young ones.
