THE NEWS OF THE COUNTY COURTS

A case of considerable interest to sports
men was brought up before Judge Ewing in
the Criminal Court yesterday. 1t was that
,ot Major E. H. McWhorter and ]. o. H.
Denny, members of the Sportsmen's Asso-
citation, who were charged by the Humane
Society with cruelty to animals The
charge was based upon pigeon shoot held
at the Associations grounds, in the Nine
teenth ward, some time ago.
Judge Ewing charged the jury that the
Supreme Court had recently decided that it
was not cruel to kill pigeons when the
shooting was in the interest of skill; that
If a wounded pigeon was killed it was a
question for the jury as to whether it was
cruel or humane to deprive it of suffering.
The Judge cited the case of lame horses
that are killed and quoted from the
Scriptures that birds and fish are made for
the pleasure of man. The jury returned
verdict of not guilty.

A notable result that has followed the or

change in several states of the day OF execu-

The life Of Nine. Barrios. who was mar

On one Of his expeditions into the
interior of Guatemala, Presidens Barrios

young ladies. In order to do hondr to his
visit certain pupils were called UPON 10 re-
cite Among them was Senorita EphTric-
clio, the 14-yegr-o daughter Of a gentle
man OF purest Spanish blood. Barrios was
50 enraptured with the charms OF the girl
that he decided on the spot to make her his
wife. He went at once to tie mother SUI
perior and gave her his command inregard
To the education OF the young lady, re-
questlng that she be particularly we'll taught
in the French and English languages, at
the same time announcing his intention of
returning in two years to marry her.
Barrios then opened a correspondence
with the father Of the girl. simply announce
ing his resolution, with the statement that
the best advice he could offer was that the
family should acqulesce in his plans. But
the parents. not then worldly wise, and de-
spisn2 the dictator chiefly on account OF
the Indian blood in his veins, hdrried the
daughter off to Europe. Upon the discov-
cry Of her fight, Barrios caused the father

finally saw fit to consent to the marriage
The relentinR parent was then appointed to
the highest office in the gift of the president

Wholesale appropriations Of revenue by
which the government was defrauded of
many millions. Tho girl was brought back

pomp, although the senorita was bitterly
opposed to the idea. However she finally

In battle there may be one moment
when victory depends upon the presence of
the commander at the critical point In the
campaign of the Frenc1 against tie Aus
trians, in 1909. the safety of Napoleon's
army made it necessary TO take the town
Ratisbon at any cost. The assault was In
trusted to Marshal Lannes, who called for
fifty volunteers to lead the assaulting party
with scaling ladders. So many volunteered
for the dangerous duty that it was difficult
to select the fifty.
They advanced, and were all killed. An
other party was called for and thsy, too,
were swept away by the enemy's fire.
When the third call was made no one vol
unteered for duty which appeared to le d
to certain death. There was an ominous
silence throughout the ranks.

In spite OF he marsbaPs efforts the aide

couples also took up ladders.

They tried to push the aides aside and to
