Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, Tx, Feb. 15.-In the
District court to-day about thirty men
were fined .s25 and coss and ten days in

day. has consequently created ne little
surprise In the city, and interest has been
added to the matter by the sheriff in

Among the curious things at the Poultry
Show now being held in this city is per
fsctly white hen hatched from pure bred

fowls are of pAtrician blood. their ancestry
being traced back 1000 years, and in all

longs. will give her pedigree and reference
as to his reliability, to all bird fanciers who
may be interested.
Another curiosity is the hen with four
feet. The extra pair are attached TO the
rear of the pair in active use and may
serve as graphing hook in case of biddie
slipping.
To lovers of poultry there is much of
great interest at the show. The display OF
buff cochins alone is worth the price of
admission, not to mention the besutiful
white imported ducks and the game cocks
Altogether the exhibition is a great sue
cess and should be well patronized.
