A Bat. Popping Match.
territorial New Enterprise,

Yesterday afternoon n number OF
crack shots went out to Emmett Guard
Range and INDUCED in new variety
OF sport-bat shooting. The bats are
thrown up in the air by person who
wears thick buckskin gloves. They
can also be sprung from trap, but
yesterday the trap was not in working
order, and the hand only was used.
Those who have tried both hand and
trap say that hand throwing is more eff
fective and saves considerable time.
The bats used yesterday were the first
ever shot at in Nevada under the regu.
lar pigeon-shooting rules. About 200
were received yesterday morning by
are found in great numbers in old barns
and sheds, and are caught by boys in
nests. The novelty of the sport at
tracted quite crowd Of pigeon shooters,
who at first did not take very kindly TO
the innovation, but before the sport
was over they all expressed themselves
quite pleased with it. The bats were
thrown up at 21-yard rise, and some
Of the most experienced pigeon-shots
found considerable difficulty in hitting
them. Each bat was thrown 10 n
height OF about thirty feet, when he
would spread his wings and 90 through
series of evolutions which rather be-
wildered the shooters. The course
taken by the bat consists OF a number
Of sharp, zig-zag movements, as if he
was going somewhere in hurry and
changed his mind about forty times in
three seconds. At the end Of the three
seconds he is generally about where he
started from. Then he calls in his
scattered senses and shoots off in a
straight line for the nearest building
Now comes the shooters golden oppor-
tunity, and if he bangs away at the bat
he generally brings him down III he
aims WE'LL. Most men, however, shoot
as soon ss the bat rises in the air, and
when he is going through his circus
business he can slide around and in
among the shot with comparative ease
and safety.

Bear Hunting by Moonlight.

An immense black bear was killed
Monday morning in Col. Jas. I. Pres
tons field, two and half miles east Of
Bristol. He was discovered in X. 7.
Legard's field before sunset on Sunday
afternoon, and Mr.. Legard's family ap.
prised of the fact. With al pair Of good
dogs and few guns, chase was made
at once, and the game started. Making
his way northward to the railroad, he
dashed under one OF the covered rail.
road bridges, and was soon in the woods
10 the north and west of the road. Some
delay occurred in summoning assist
ance, and for time the bear was lost.
Numbers soon gathered about the
woods where he had disappeared. In

ing, was on the ground. lie was soon
found and frequently shot in the head,
but a grunt and dash at either men or
dogs was the only result. At one time
he made furious dash al X. i. Legard,
who was for moment in great danger,
and was saved only by an attack Of the
dogs. The sport ran on until some
hour or more after midnight, when
Samuel Legard, at some thirty PAGES,
put a load of buckshot behind his
shoulder that made him spring forward
and bite the dust. One Of the shot had
penetrated the heart. He measured
FIVE feet four inches from tip Of nose to
tail, and weighed nearly 400 pounds.
Unexpectedly he was in fine order, and
the meat was divided among those pres
ent at the sport. He was doubtless
from tile Iron Mountain or White Top.

Tho LEGAL Status Of q Dog.

There was time when a dog had no
rights, when among savage and un'
civilized people he was regarded as the
meanest Of all animals, and when no
term Of opprobrium was more disgrace
full than to be called dog. Times are
constantly y changing. Civilization Is
elsvating bipsd and quadrupsd, and
the dog now has its legal status, which
is as binding as any iu the principle OF
law. According to the law Of Pennsyl-
vania the dog, when registered in the
prothonotary's Office, is personal pro-
perty. But then the law takes q
strange tangent. A dog, known to be
savage, can be shot on the highway,
and the owner Of the dog is liable for
the damage done by it, provided that
the party damaged has not provoked
the animal in some manner, or has ex
cited him by trespass on the property
where he belongs. And the law goes
further. For all damage caused by q
dog rushing after or barking at a pass
ing horse or vehicle the owner OF the
canine is liable. The owner Of dog
that disturbs the quiet Of a nsighbor'
hood at night is bound to abate the
nuisance. Dogs have legal status as
personal property. Their owners have
rights vested in them. But the re-
sponsibility which attaches to this II
also made plain. That portion of i
which makes man liable for the dam
age done by his dog, while in pursui
of horse or vehicle, is especial.
worthy of notice.-[ Exchange.

Mr., w. L. Goldsmith, the Controller
General of Georgia, has been arraigned
for high crimes and misdemeanors.-
He is accused of stealing the public
money, of attempting to bribe members
of the legislature and of using the pow
ar of his Office in various ways for his
own profit and advantage. Mr.. Gold
smith is not a negro; he is not, as
might be imagined, a corrupt and wick
ed Northern carpet Dagger; he is not a
Republican. Mr.. Goldsmith, strangely
enough, is a Democrat, a southerner
and white man. He belongs to the
proud Caucasian race, the race that
was born to govern, and the reason ne
happens to be in Office is that he want,
ed to rescue the beloved government OF
his State from the grasp Of ignorant
negroes and depraved carpet-baggers
who were not born 10 govern. II one
of these inferior persons had done what
Mr.. Goldsmith is alleged to have done
he would suddenly be sent to jail; but
whether that proud Caucasian Will
have to submit to such an indlgnltJ

To make summer trip;
And evening found them by the sea
To have an ocean dip.

For they were In for a bully time,

They rowed and sailed upon the lake,
And lots Of iun had they,
For they were Just 1olly crowd,
And the gayest Of the gay.
At eleven O'Clock they don their suits,
And with the breakers play;
And how they'd plunge, and dive and noat,
Just like an eel at bay.
At one o'clock the dinner gong
Would greet the hungry boys;
And chicken, 'taters and Ice cream, TOO,
Would vanish like candy toys.

And thousand bathers on the sand.
