The Shooting Tournament.

The Fair Grounds this week was the
scene of some lively sport, the atten-
dance and weather being good, but the
scores did not average SO high as in for
mer contests. The highest per cent
was about 50 and that was made by Mr..
r. l.. Wells, of Jackson, Miss. Mo
bile, represented by Messrs. Vass and
McGraw, carried of many Of the prem
iums, as did also Mr.. Maxwell of Co.
lumbus. Our local shots did not do so
well, though they came ont ahead in the
scrub match. Mr.. Leon Dent was the
winner of that, and he enjoyed his good
luck immensely, Vicksburg was rep,
resented and they carried off many of
the premiums.

called attention to the Assembly CORE
spondence of the San Francisco "Ex-
aminer" of yesterday, wherein he is
made to appear to have received money
for his vote on the coyote scalps bill,
and also to seem to cast the same Stig-
ma on other members. Power declared
that the article in question was false,
both in assertion and assumption. He
had never, he said, received a dollar
for his vote nor had he held any such
conversation as was attributed to him.
He had never stood behind the lobby
screen and talked with Packard or any
one else, and he knew of no member
who had received money.
ON the contrary the Examiners"
correspondent had, he stated, come to
him and told him if he did not give him
a STORY" concerning the coyote bill he
would roast him in the Examiner
next day" Power again declared the
entire story false.

creatures and took it home. It's curious
ways pleased her and she put it in 4
box to keep as pet. The little prisoner
refused food and chafed al confinement
AS the young lady was about TO release
the terrapin some one suggested that
she carve her name in it's shell. She did
this, adding the date. The little animal
was let go.
Ten years later Miss Peele married
County Clerk While of Orange County
One day she found herself in the vicinity
where she had first discovered the ter
rapin. To her great surprise she again
found the little fellow within few feet
of where she first saw it. Her name and
the date were as plain as when she put
them there. The terrapin was again
made prisoner to show her friends the
marvellous find. Again tracing her new
name on the shell she released her cap
tive. The date, 1850, was put on.
After many years Mrs. While became
a widow, removing to Hutchinson, Kan.
There she married DR.. Mckinney and
still resides there
In the summer of 1872 Mrs. Mckinney
visited her old home at Paoli. A search
again revealed the terrapin at its first
abode. Again she carved her changed
name Oh the shell. 1t was the talk of
the little town. Returning to her West
ern home Mrs. Mckinney thought little
of her terrapin until a friend in 1899 sent
her a copy of a local paper containing
the facts. The terrapin had again been
found and the dates 1895 carved on it's
back. 1t was found right where it had
been first discovered by Miss Peele.
Each time it had been released near TIE
center of the little town and had found
its way to it's original home.
