nection with the shooting on his prem
ises, Punchbowl Slope, of number oil

case came up in the Police Court yes
terday morning and Cook was fined 81

guilty of the charge.
Now it turns out that, as a retalia-

was arrested on the charge Of pro-
family, the words being addressed to
Cooks wife. This case, also, came up
in the Police Court yesterday and Ma

tuberculosis
MI Birney has been in tine last stages
Of his sickness for several days, and his
death was expected at any time.
MIR Birney was taken sick in the early
part of last September. Until that time
few, If any symptoms of his disease had
showed themselves, and he considered hiTn-
self in good health. 1t is believed that
he contracted his disease during a fishing
and hunting trip.
He was advised by his physicians. as
fall advanced, that the only hope for his
life was a trip to the West, and possibly
a permanent residence there His family
was OF this opinion, too, and in December
he left Washington, going first to Arizona
That climate seemed to do him no good,
however, and in March he went to Cali
fornia. He seemed to improve greatly on
the coast, and when he came home. in
ment was only a temporary one, however.
and since his return he has failed rapidly.
A funeral service will be held at the
residence of Mr.. A. a BFney tomorrow
afternoon at 4:3o O'Clock The interment
will be made at Oak Hill Cemetery Action
will be taken over the death of Mr., Birney
by the bar association as soon as one OF
the judges returns TO the bench, probably
tomorrow.
Mr. Birney was married while Il n Atlanta
and leaves widow and two children.
Mr. Birney was born In Morris, III, In
1863 He was a graduate of Lehish Uni
yersity and OF the Georgetown Law School
His work i'll both these institutions was
excellent, and he took both essay prizes
at Georgetown Soon after he was admitted
to the bar he went to Atlanta, Ga, and
to Washington and formed a partnership
| with his brosher under the weIl-known firm
name of Birney & Birney
Their practice was large one. After
several years of success in this firm he
was obliged to give up his work on ae-
count of his i'll health, and the partnership
was dissolved.
He was a lawyer of uneoubted ability
with wide knowledge and keen In
sight Personally he had the sincere re-
gard of great many friends, especially OF
| the Washington bar. He was regarded as
one OF the most kindly men Of the profess
sion. of staunch integrity and most pune
tilious hon es5y.
