-ELsON TALKS THE SHOOTING
, Declares He VIII Show Some
People Up at the Trial.

John G. Nelson, who shot Deputy Hines
n the formers saloon and gambling den
n Jackson City, last Thursday night, is
till in Jail at Alexandria. The close con-
inement is evidently beginning to tell on
i'm and he is becoming more communi-
fative.
He was seen by Times man last night
Ind spoke more freely of the shooting than
he has done heretofore. He said that he
had been continually annoyed by the minor
officials of Alexandria county, and that
the same men who were engaged in the
shooting had been in his place three
times before within two days and each
time had done all in their power to cause
trouble.
On Thursday night when they came in
they were more abusive than ever and
finally, believing his life to be In danger,
he used his pistol.
Nelson has retained Messrs. Louis G.
Barley, John II. Green and Edmund Burke
to represent him when his case comes to
trial. He says he would like to be present
at the inquest, which will be resumed, it
is thought, on Friday next, but should the
coroper's jury acquit him be will take the
case before the grand jury in order to
show how he has been bounded by the
county officers.

Local Tracks.

Local Tracks.
The bill which is running through the
Washington legislature at 2:10 clip, re-
ferring to horse racing in the District OF
Columbia, will be a boon to the Washington
tracks.
The bill permits one or more meetings
zach year, and authorizes trotting, running
and steeplechase meetings. 1t also permits
the corporation, the owners OF horses or
others who are not participating in the
races, TO offer or contribute toward purses
or stakes, but no person other than the
owners OF horses contesting In the race is
to have any primary interest in the stakes.
The time for meetings is restricted TO the
period from April l TO November 80, and
none are to be allowed except between sun
rise and sunset.
This means that there win be spring and
fall meetings at Benning's and Ivy City and
the complete overthrow of the two outlaw
tracks which have been operating on the
Virginia shores. 1t is unnecessary TO say
that both the Benning's and Ivy City meet
ings will be under the jurisdiction of the
