AT A FLEEING CHICKEN THIEF.
Alex Carroll, an Old Offender, Cap. tured With Sack of Stolen Chickens Last Night by
 Patrolman Stewart.

Last night about o'clock Patrol man Stewart saw negro man, act ing suspiciously, with tt sack thrown over his shoulder. He started down the alley near Wiley Jones saloon on Main street. Officer Stewart called on him to halt, but instead Of halting he started off at pace that some of our crack cyclists might well strive to excel. Officer Stewart, being somewhat of a sprinter himself. started out to catch the fleeing darky, but the officer soon saw that he was outclassed and had to resort to the use of his revolver After firing four shots at the fleeing fugitives tine latter was finally brought to halt near the Cotton Belt depot.
 Carroll was brought briore Esq. Niven this morning where he ad- mitted that he had taken the chick ems from a coop in the rear Of Gold smith X Company's store. He was let off with a twenty-five dollar fine and ninty days Imprisonment, and will be taken down to Gracie's to spend the remainder of the heated term. Carroll is the same darkey who escaped from the calaboose and after being reeaptured said to the officers: Dis aint me, don't you see I aint got no whiskers?''

A GENIAL JUDGE.

The most interesting friend that boys
and girls possess will be in this country
in August He is the lord chief justice
of England
There is hardly a more popular char
acter among British boys anywhere
than his lordship. He joins in their
games to this very day. Perhaps he is
the first lord chief justice that ever
played leap frog. He did this last year
with some Harrow boys on the green
before the school But he should be par
ticularly liked by the boys of this
country because he played in one of the
few base ball games yet witnessed in
England.
1t came about in this way. The Rt.
Hon. Charles Lord Russell, of Killow-
en-, c. c. NJ. G., to give his full title,
has been known throughout his career
as a friend Of field sports, particularly
cricket. He is director in many school
boards. Whenever he visits these
schools, he asks the boys about their
games and occasionally takes hand
in them That is how he comes to be
a cricket player and a tennis player and
various other things. Whenever the
boys OF rival schools get up match
and the chief justice is within reach,
he is called upon to umpire it. He
never refuses these invitations if he can
possibly accept. He told class at
Eaton this spring that he would prefer
to be the finest bowler in England to
holding the Premiership of Great Brit
ain. The boys gave him three cheers.
1t happened one day that game Of
base ball was proposed between some
Southwark pronounced SOuthark) boys
in London and a nine composed of lads
belonging TO a parochial school of
which his lordship is director. Now a
game of base ball is rare in England.
They prefer cricket over there. But a
few years ago an effort was made to in
troduce our national game into Britain.
1t has not met with much success. The
English say it is TOO bOyish. Perhaps
that may be why only the boys OF Eng
land have taken much interest in base
ball as yet. Well, when the game was
an umpire was essential, par
ticularly so in vicw of the fact that no.
Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1896-07-05

body understood much of the matter.
OF course, Lord Russell, was selected.
If the boys had their way in England
his Lordship would spend most of his
time in managing their sporting con-
tests.
The game was great success. His
lordship always posted in the matter of
games, did the umpiring like a hero.
The London sporting papers made mer-
~ over the affair, particularly as one
of the teams got $50 runs and there were
II innings. II seems that the game
ended very much sooner than had been
expected and his lordship suggested that
they so ahead and have more innings.
He evidently thought that it was quite
usual thing. II must have been a ve-y
remarkable game. Sporting Life" in
poking fun at his lordship, observes
that nobody got put out in the first in
ming at all. In the fourth inning the
ball was lost and the man at the bat
made ten home runs one right after the
other and had them all counted by the
umpire. 1t may be inferred that his
lordship might not be just the man to
umpire a game on this side of the water.
However, ne is such lover of sports
that one can easily forgive him. He is
at the head of an associationwhich helps
amateur sport among. boys and girls in
England. He himself has given many
prizes. He is an honorary member of a
school girls cricet team in England.
In short the hobby of this lord chief
Justice is TO encourage sports among
young people.
His mission to this country has moth
ing to do with sports, however. He
comes to attend gathering of lawyers
and he will land in New York about
August 10Th. He may make a tour of
our country and as he is very genial
man. he will undoubtedly be popular.
Perhaps he will undertake TO umpire a
base ball game if somebody asks him.

but on the other hand it is not apt to
throw YOU after being lifted over a
fence, and it gets three times as near
as a horse could
For pistol practice the cycle has even
better advantages. because the pistol is
more easily carried. Little pouches
come into which the pistol is slipped.
The handle is left exposed This is
hung upon the handle bar and is within
a seconds use Of the rider If you see
an odd shaped bag, with a handle stick
ing out at the top, YOU may know that
it is a pistol and that the rider is a
crack cyclist out for sport.
The law against carrying concealed
arms. now so strictly enforced in some
parts of the country. is not infringed in
the carrying of cycle arms. The weap-
Ons are not concealed. They hang out
in plain sight, and there comes in an
other legal question as to whether the
cycliSt is carrying them or not. They
are part Of his baggage. This was q
point well aScertaiDed by spOrtsmen be-
fore putting forward the cycle rifle prac-
tice as a new and desirable sport
AT pistol practice from a bicycle an
amateur rider made a good record. This
man was a crack shot but an ordinary
rider This fact handicapped him to a
great extent He was not confident of
his balance. On the other hand, he was
a good shot and could fire with light
ming speed. He would ride well along
until under fine Roadway, and with well
balanced wheel; then. quick as thought,
he would release the handles. steady
the machine with his knees and fire.
His record was 80 bulrs-eyes out of IS.

cyclists go out to shoot are squirrels.

Of the woods. They have great success,
and you see them returning with their
strings of game hanging over their top
bars.
A sporting dealer says that in few
days there viii be game baskets to hang
to the top bar, and that specially con-
trived receptacles for game OF different
kinds will be placed upon the market.
These will fill all the requirements OF
game baskets and probably have PAGES
for ice and storage where birds are TO
be kept in good feather.
Ammunition belts, carrying about 100
charges of cartridge, can be worn A
rife weighing about two and quarter
pounds and costing about S. is very
satisfactory. Though any rife that a
sportsman has been accustomed to does
for this purpose, provided it can be car
ried upon the wheel with safety.
Several Of these hunting parties have
started out Of a saturday and returned
Monday or Tuesday with such game as
the season would allow. Shooting for
fun alone is not cOuntenanced, and no
true sportsman would touch the song
birds that are his orchestra by early
morning light, when he goes out upon
the road.
THE WHEEL.
The kind of wheel for this sport is
immaterial. Any good wheel, road or
tourist, light weight or heavy, pfovid-
ing it is in itself a reliable machine.
There are certain light weights that are
liked by some riders, but others find
they must have the heavy wheel. That
is a matter of taste with tse rider every
time. II does not affect the rifle prac-
tice.
Upon a lady's wheel the rife can be
carried easily. 1t can be strapped to
the handle bar or laid lightly along the
handle bar. There are several places 10
put it, each to be decided by the length
of the rifle. With pistol this is easily
managed, as it can be hung upon the
handle bar with ease.
improvements are so constantly TAX
ing place that it is hardly safe to pre-
diet what the next one will be or, where
it will stop. But cunning on wheels
has been taken up so quickly that it is
a sport that will be a summer and au,
tumn craze.

THE APPROACH.
The advantages Of shooting upon a
wheel are great. You can glide up
noise.essly with your pneumatic tire
and crack away at the game without
taking amy chances from a distance.
Footsteps are necessarily noisy, and Of
course the clatter Of horse feet alarm
game. while prowling through The brush
and lying in wait for game is uresOme

lovers.
But the wheel takes away all these
difficulties. And there is another i'm
portant point in favor of cunning on a
bicycle. and that is the small space
through which one can go. Given a
woody path and the choice of wheels

under sentence to be hanged on Wednes-
day, July /. Sheriff Martin is quietly
making arrangements for the execution
of Eckert The scaffold was recently
taken out, washed and cleaned up, so
that it can be put together in few

sheriff has already received over 1000
applications for passes to witness the
hanging, but only 100 will be issued.
