THE CHICKEN CASE.
Thaxter Convicted and Fined-The
Case Appealed,

There was large crowd in tn
Police Court to hear the proceeding
in the chicken case.
The defendant Harry Thaxter wa.
enlarged with shooting firearms il
the city limits.
G. r. Davis the first witness testi-
fed that on Wednesday morning he
saw defendant shoot one of his
chickens. The fowl was about the
middle of the street. Mrs. Davis
testified that she saw the young man
fire the gun and the chicken fell dead
shortly after. It was in the street
when killed.
The defendant testified that the
chickens come over Ly his fence,
scratched holes under the fence and
trespassed upon the property; that
he had warned the owners of the
chickens of their depredations, and
Mrs. Davis had told him that he was
at liberty to kill any of her chickens
found in his yard.
When he shot the chicken it had
been scratching by the fence and was
about two feet off the walk when he
fired.
On cross examination, witness adj
mltted that he had scattered wheat
along the fence; supposed it was
poisoned
George Thaxter, defendants father
testified that the chickens had an
noyed him for years and made fora
culture a lost art on his premises.
He had sown great deal of seed
which did not come up and some of
it had been scratched by the hens.
After the arguments the Court |
said:
Il regret to be compel d to de-
eide cases where all the rites in
voived are friends and ighbors,
out this shooting in the limits
must be stopped. You arr young
man, but old enough to know better
This scattering of poisoned wheat
Ilong the walk as a bait is very sell
Jus. Suppose Immediately after a
chicken had eaten it, had been killed
or the table and poisoned a whole
amily! There is some excuse, for
'ou are not versed in law. | shall
ind. you guilty and make the fine
mall, as this is your first ofense.
he sentence of the Court is fine of

'ill be sufficient lesson to you.

TOnight's Fight.
are dull

The fight at the Reno Opera House
tonight, viii be by all odds the big,
gest tistic event ever witnessed IL
Nevada, and the manager Geo AL,
len, says both men have got to fght
or not cent do they get.
This will be Dunn's first battle III
America, and as he is very desirious
of making a reputation here, has
trained very diligently, and is in the
best possible condition. He will en-
ter the ring tonight weighing about
149 pounds. He is strong, active
fellow, and terrific hitter, which
combined with cleverness should
carry him through the hard fight he
expects Purcell VIII give him.
He comes here with SPLENDID re-
cord, and is after more laurels and
purses. Allen says he is a fighter
from the jump.
Purcell is well known through the
Coast, having won many hard fought
contests, and those who know him
and his achievements best, think he
is safe bet. He will enter the ring
in the pink of condition weighing 148
and ready to make the fight of his
life. He is not as compactly built as
the other man, but i, l. claimed that
he is more scientific, and a good
deal more shifty on his feet, He has
a peculiar style of his own which
Dunn will fhd very hard to figure
out, and being an exceedingly stiff
puncher and good ring general, it
is calculated that he will put up a
very engaging fight. The only man
who ever whipped him was Maber,
whom he afterwards whipped in short
order, which his foregoing record will
show.

FREDERICKSBURG, VA, May d.
Special.-Mr. Philip S. Honey. farmer
who lives in Stafford county. few miles
from this city. is an ardent Confederate
and still the proud owner OF the mule
now thirty-eight years old, he rode all
through the war as a member OF the
Ninth Virginia cavalry.
He traded a horse for this mule soon
after entering the army. when the mule
was seven years old, and from that time
until the close of the war he and his
faithful beast shared many hardships.
They were together at the battles OF
Gettysburg, Cedar Mountain, Brandy sta
ton, Charlottesville, Wilderness, Rich
mond Petersburg. Stony Creek and other
engagements of less prominence, and sur
rendered at Appomattox. The mule shows
the marks Of time; but, Notwithstanding
her advanced age, Is still strong and ac-
tive and eats well. She does light work
regularly. but is blind in one eye, and
some Of her teeth are gone.
There is no question as 10 the Identity
OF this mule. That is thoroughly estab-
lished, and the animal and its owner, be-
tween whom there exists a strong attach
ment. have been objects Of interest 10 the
people OF this section for years.
An effort is being made to induce Mr..
Honey 10 take the mule 10 Richmond by
rail and ride her in the parade when the
remains Of Jefferson Davis. the dead
President Of the Confederacy, will be re-
inferred in beautiful Hollywood cemetery
Of that city. May 3lst.
There has also been some talk OF taking
the mule TO Chicago and exhibiting her

ACCUSED or ARSON.
A Young Man Arrested on the Charge OF
Setting His Own Store on Fire.

A Young Man Arrested on the Charge OF
Setting His Own Store on Fire.
A gentlemanly-look young man
named r. J. Kenny came to Richmond
last Monday ana rented from Or. Jud.
y. Wood the frame store No. G1S east
Main. with the intention Of using it for
q music store. and moved in his stock
of goods which consisted Of two violins,
a flute and A lot of sheet music. Friday
he went down to the Virginia Fire and
Marine Insurance COmpanys Office and
took out policy No. 223, 1914 for $3.50, telling
the insurance company that all OF the
stock was not yet in, but he would soon
have II in place.
Friday morning young Kenny posted
the front windows of the store so no zone
could see into it, and was engaged until
late Friday night, getting ready, as he
said, TO open Monday morning.
Yesterday morning about $50 Mr..
Charles Bosher saw smoke issuing from
beneath the front door. He broke pane
OF glass and unlocked the door. When he
got in he found that the sheets Of music
hanging upon the wall had been set on
fire. Some Of them were still burning
upon the wall. while others had fallen to
the floor, and were blazing there. Bcth
walls and floor were scorched and dis
colored. Mr.. Bosher extnguishs: the fire
without sending IN g. sla-m.
The fact that the fira -as not accidental
was so plain that warrants -ere at once
sworn out for the arrest OF Kenny, and
also for his brother. J. II. Kenny, who
was 10 be a partner in the music firm.
r. ]. Kenny was arrested about 10 o'clock
yesterday morning by officers Tomlinson
and Talley, but his brother could not be
found. The prisoner was taken to the
Second police-station, where l had a con-
versatiOn with him.
His account is that he went by the
store yesterday morning about o'clock
on his way to mass at the cathedral, and
his object I'm going was to find out If
things were all right there, as he had
seen a man loafing around the place the
night before and was afraid he had trou-
bled something. He says he only stayed
I'm the place short time and then went
10 mass and from the cathedral TO n
restaurant on Seventeenth. where he got
breakfast About o'clock he got back
TO the store. and was much surprised 10
find the door open and his music burned.
Officer Talley was in the place when he
got there, and soon Alex. Tomlinson came
in. and they both questioned him closely
about the matter, and a short time after
words arrested him.
The prisoner says he is from Baltimore,
where he has been engaged I'm business,
and that he has letters Of recommends
ton from parties Of high standing in
that city. He also says he is well known
20 Mr.. John NJ. Higgins, OF this city, and
10 Hon. A. NJ. Kelley. He values the
stock in his store at about 5000, saying
that the violins are the work Of celebrated
makers, and are of great intrinsic worth.
These instruments were missing from his
store and were found in his room, over
1908 east Main street.
Mr. John NJ. Higgins says that the pris-
oner's family are excellent pdbple. His
mother lives I'm Norfolk, Va.
Kenny has secured Mr.. Moncure as his
counsel.

that he has been charged with refusing
