4 Demeated Grouse.

Supt. Robeson discovered a grouse sitting on the dump at the Seven Hun dred the other day. He promptly dis patched Mr. Anderson and Mr. Hamp- ton for gun, which, however, could not be secured. The Messrs. RobesOn, Hampton and Anderson then threw rocks at the grouse until finally one of the number touched it with one of the stones. The grouse flew onto stump tn the brush near by. The three men again opened fire on the grouse and the air was full of flying stones and they so completely exhausted themselves that they quit, but never touched it. Mir. Hampton then crawled up to the poor thing and caught it with his hands.
 They Tipped nickel to determine who should have the grouse and MT. Robeson won, and with downward look and stated pace he marched home with the poor demented fowl.
