Reply to Y. Y. z.
Z iitor RECORD:


An unknown quantity, signingX Y.
2. in your last issue, seeks to expose
my scheme for destroying the English
Sparrow, and deals with it as if it were
a trivial affair. The destruction of
that bird is more desired. by the far
mers of the country, than anything
else, and, to them, the question is more
momentous than the anne xation of the
Philippines, the tariff issue or the
que stion of a silver dollar being made
standard dollar, at the ratio of 16 to
i. The farmers will never vote for
a man who seeks to destroy the effect
of my invention. believe "X. Y. q"
is allowed the title of Captain" for
services in the war between the North
aud the South. i believe that he is a
lawyer, a politician and the embodi.
ment with ism and sarcasm. / think
tn It he is the man WHIP said that he
saw several hogs that would weigh
90J pounds and that the mosquitoes
were SO large, in a certain locality,
that great many of them would
weigh a pound. These statements are
tue, bat misleading. OF course sew
eral h"g, will weigh 900 pounds and a
great many mosquitoes will weigh
pound If am correct as to the iden-
tity Of X. Y. z. must confess that he
is my friend and that l admire his
manhood ana his talent, but his article
will defeat him for any Office, to which
he might aspire, as the farmers will
not support him, on account of his views
on the Sparrow question. They will
only support a man who favors the ex-
of that bird and one who
is not disposed to deal with the subjec
as if it wer. a frivolous one.
Beside this my invention was a val
liable one and, if his article causes an
other to patent it, he will be made de-
PENDANT in a damage suit for $40 600,
in which all the lawyers in town will
represent the plaintiff. 1 give these
hints in order that the author of that

WANTED A WARRANT.
Charge Made by Chas. Davis Against
HIS Father-in-Law.

A young man named Charles Davis, with
a bad cut in his forehead and the skin off
his hands, called at the clerks office of the
Police Court Saturday and asked for a war
rant for assault with intent to kill.
What was done to you?" the clerk asked
Il was hit in the head with brick" was
his answer.
Then" explained the clerk, II can give
you warrant for only simple assault
This the young man finally agreed to ac-
cept. He charged E. Louis Robinson with
having assaulted him in a boarding house
at 222 B street northwest. Davis said he
was correcting his wife and the fight with
Robinson was the result of the latter's at
tempting to interfere with him.
Later in the day warrant was issued
for Davis, charging him with an assault
on Mabel Rudd. Mrs. Davis wife of the
dfshgured man, accompanied Mrs. Rudd to
the Police Court. The latter alleged that
Davis struck her several times, and Mrs.
Davis stated that her husband had knock
ed her down and kicked her in the stom-
ach.
1t developed during the investigation that
Mr.. Robinson is Davis father-n-law and
that he only protected his own daughter
from injury. Mrs. Davis did not swear out
a warrant for her husband.
Both warrants We're served, but the par
ties to the affair settled their troubles yes
terday, and today the complaints were
withdrawn
