But the theory was bursted all to smithereens last Friday when patrol- man William Burgdorf fared forth to the H. R. Urion home at 989 Cherry street, where a prize turkey had lodged itself high in the uppermost branches of a lofty elm. . Burgdorf blazed away at the errant gobbler--twice, and, at each.blazing. the bird simply gobbled a bit and ruffled its feathers in a manner to im- ply an equine guffaw. Burgdorf went back to the arsenal at police headquarters and replenish- ed his shell chambers. It is estimated that the third shot brought the proud truant to an untimely death. "Must have been something wrong with those shells," Burgdorf explain- ed to Chief Peterson. "I shot right at his head, because I didn't want to fill him full of lead, but he didn't as much as move. But the third shot got him for keeps." The question that perplexes the members of the police department, 1s: Did the turkey get shot or merely ex- pire from the shock of being shot at and missed.
