AN AGGRESSIVE MISS.
But She Said She Tainted When She
Heard Pistol Shots.

-M" ~Z
Miss Frances Hornung. a rather good
looking and positively aggressive young
woman, who lives with her mother, So
lonia Hornung, in the rear of Meier
durck's brewery. in North Bergen, made
things lively for a time in the Genera
Sessions Court, yesterday afternoon. Com
rad S~teingruber, a %neighbor of the Hor-
nungs, was on trial for assault on Mrs.
Hornung. with intent to kill her. Mrs.
Hornung testified tina while she and her
daughter were going home, 0 nine
p. NJ, on June II, Steingruber fired three
shots at them.
When Miss Hornung took the stand she
was particularly aggressive in her man
ner, and talked loud and fast. Everybody
in the court room was surprised when she
declared that she tainted when she heard
the shots. She did not look or act like a
young woman who would faint under any
circumstances.
Don't get excited said Lawyer Max
Salinger, when he was cross examining
her
witness, that you get me excited.
.'yVill you be kind enough to shut up?'
asked the lawyer.
NO. / won't shut up replied the wit
ness, I'm telling the truth and you can't
make me shut up
sed?"
IF you heard a pistol shot fired ct
you,, exclaimed the young woman, Il
bet you'd faint
The defendant denied hat he fired any
shots at the Hornungs. He said that he
had been bothered by thieves, and after
he went into the house he fired some
shots out of the window to brighten the
thieves away If there were any there. His
wife and daughter corroborated his
statement that he FREQ the shots out Of
the window, and he was acquitted great
ly to the disappointment of Miss Hor-
nuuE.

other at the lower, through which to
extract the acorns when wanted Then
IL fills up the stalks solidly, and leaves
its stores there until needed. safe from
the depredations of any other thlevish
bird or four-footed animal
The first place in which this curious
habit was observed was on hill in
the midst of a desert. The hill was
covered with yuccas and magueys. but
the nearest oak trees were thirty miles
away. and so, it was calculated these
industrious birds had to make flight
of sixty miles for each acorn slowed
thus in the stalks!
An observer of birds remarks:
There are several strange features to
be noticed i'm these facts; the provident
instinct which prompts this bird to lay
by stores of provisions for the winter,
the great distance traversed to collect
n kind of food so unusual for its race,
and its seeking in a palce so remote
from its natural abode a storehOuse so
remarkable"
Can instinct alone teach. or have ex-
perience and reason taught. these birds
that. far better than the bark of trees
or crevices in rocks or any other hid
ing place are these hidden cavities they
make for themselves with the hollow
stems of distant plants?
This we cannot answer. But we do
know that one of the most remarkable
birds in our country is this California
woodpecker, and that he is we'll en-
titled to his Mexican name of FL Car
