A baby robin fooled around long enough Saturday morning to fall out of its nest, located in a tree in the 500 block on Lincoln avenue, so members of Engine 6, of the Dubuque fire department, were called to rescue it. They hoisted a ladder, picked up the truant bird and put it back where it belonged.

The little robin will probably get a kick out of it next year telling some of its friends about its harrow­ing experience, and then continue its practice of digging up somebody’s lawn in an effort to snag a slimy angle worm.
