against it judgments amounting to over
$4,000. 1t was to satisfy these various

the crowd in attendance WAS large, the bid

terrible effect OF hard times was made very
visible by the extremely low figures
at which the sales were made,
one or two of the tracts in pur-
ticular, going very cheap. The total amount
realized on the sale was S3l $50. Following

they claiming that Wardsr and Russell were
"crsck Shots" though we did no hear OF any

It will also be remembered that upon Au-
gust l4tb, Messrs. Slack, Wilson, Monahan
and Russell tried to help hold the medal at
South Solon, and that, fgurstively speaking,
Jamestown, Warrington G. II. and Xenia
mopped the ground up with the South Solon

way to assist in the bird slaughter At James

names till we receive the scores.
We do not see that the gentlemen belong

clubs have cause TO kick, for they can down
South Scion, if they only make up their
minds to do so, and do not lose what sand
they have and become ratified, as was the
case at Xenia.
The following scores and percentages were
taken from the club book, and are the records
made in all tie practice matches held this
year. No percentage isgiven to those having
shot at less than one hundred birds.

KICk IN orr THE TRAIN.
An Enragcd Husband AvenGes an Insult
to HIS Wife.


On the morning train to Columbus, day
or so ago, a peculiar incident occurred which
was witnessed by a Springfield man on the
train. A lady and her husband were among
the passengers, and while the husband was in
the smoking car commercial traveller ac-
sosted the lady, presumably to "make a
mash" When the husband returned his
wife informed him of what had occurred and
he walked up to the drummer, collared him
out of his seat, made him walk Spanish to
to the door with II kick at every step and
finally kicked him oil the platform. The
train was stopped and backed up to the place,
where the drummer was found. He had
fallen in the grass al the side of the track
and escaped without injury although the
train was moving ut good rate OF speed.
The husband and wife are Springfield people
and the drummer travels for an eastern dry
goods house and is well known here. 1t
seems that the end Of tfc row is not yet.

up to police headquarters and complained
that the gypsies, encamped just west of town,
"to get mortgage to compel them to trade
back" He was referred to Squire Stout, to
whom he again applied for a mortgage. He
said he had traded horses with them in the
moruiug, and gotten $l5 "boot," but had
later discovered that the horse was unsound.
The eyp5ies had refused to trade back. The
squire sent out constable and the affair was
settled by the parties trading back.
