LIMITED GUN CLUB SHOOT.
No Remarkable scores-Grand Hotel
Cup To-Day.

A very good shoot was held at the Limited
Gun Club grounds yesterday, although very
few from outside the city were present. But
to-day it is thought that number will
come from Lafayette, Charlottesville and
the other outside towns to contest for the
Grand Hotel cup, for which any amateur
from Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Michigan or
Indiana may be a candidate. There was
nothing remarkable about the scores made
yesterday, unless that some were rather
lower than had been expected. There Wee
twelve events. In the odd numbers fifteen
birds We're used and twenty in the even
numbers. The scores were as follows:

GOOD ROADS DECISION.
Road Supervisors May BE Forced to
Make Repairs.

According to an opinion handed down by
Judge Monks, of the Supreme Court, road
supervisors may be compelled by a man
date of a court to keep the roads in their
districts in good condition and may also be
fined for failure to do So The opinion was
given in the case of John F. Cutter against
Road Supervisor John Obertate, of Ohio
county, who, it is alleged, permitted the
roads in that county to become impossible
''by reason Of being washed into gullies and
the deposits of driftwood stones and other
debris thereon by the heavy rains" The
writ of mandate to compel Obertate to re-
pair the roads had been refused by the low
er court, on the contention of the appellee,
who claimed that he had not the power to
issue receipts for labor nor the money to
pay for it. Judge Monks, in his opinion,
said:
THE statute plainly imposes on road
supervisor the duty to keep the highways
in his district in good repair and he is au-
trict to complete the repairing ii the labor
and tax are insufficient therefor. If a high
way is out OF repair, the statutes require
that he place it in good repair. The plan
and manner of making the repairs. and the
material used in making them may rest in
his discretion, but his duty to put the road
in good repair is a public duty, and is i'm
perative and not discretionary. III
the adjacent land owners failed to remove
the distractions as required by law 1t was
the duty of Appellee Obertate, as supervis-
or, to have it done. II he had no funds, and
could not give receipts for labor on the high
way, then it was his duty to call out the
hands in the district.

The release from jail of Leon Reed. who
was last week tried by Acting Judge Null
for assaulting a little GIRL has been ordered.
Judge Null ordered Reed turned out after
he; had serve four days Of a thirty days
sentence. 1t appears that the mother of the
child was reluctant about appearing against
Reed, and the states ttorneys, while they
believed the man guilty, were in doubt
about making case against MIN without
the testimony Of the mother. Reed agreed
TO plead guilty and take a iaiI sentence and
fine if the State would permit him. The
State consented and Judge Null imposed a
sentence or thirty days and assessed a fine
OF $40. Friends of Reed at once paid the
fine.
Acting Judge Null was asked why Reed
had been released. He said he had learned
some facts since Reeds Imprisonment that
caused him 10 believe Reed had been suffi-
GENTLY punished.

The Detective CIaims Illumination.

A damage suit growing out of the efforts
of the Merchants Association to prevent
Sunday sales was brought in the county
courts yesterday by Robert G.. Hobbs, who
is a member of the Hobbs Detective Agency.
The action is against Edward Emanuel, a
West Washington-street merchant. He is
one of those arrested and tried by justice
of the peace for selling on Sunday. The
prosecuting witness against him was Detec-
tive Hobbs. When the trial was over,
Emanuel swore out warrant for Hobbss
arrest. charging him with working on Sun
day contrary to the statutes. This charge
was based on the fact that Hobbs had pur
chased goods of Emanuel on Sunday in
working up the case against him. Justice Of
the Peace Clark acquitted Hobbs, The court
held that the defendant in following the
trade of q detective frequently found it
necessary to go after evildoers on Sunday.
In the opinion of the court the legitimate
work of a detective is necessary and as the
statutes legalize necessary labor on Sun
day there was nothing to do but acquit the
defendant Hobbs now brings suit of dam
ages, charging malicious prosecution. Hobbs
says he was disgraced and Inundated by
his arrest, and he asks judgment for
