'pecial % The Evening Journal

Special 10 the Evening Journal
Bridgeville, April 27.-For some time
past dogs have been stealing eggs from
the hen rocst Of Mrs f. l.. Wiley, a
prominent woman Of this town.
Yesterday she told her husband Of
the matter and he gave her an old re-
volver which had long been thrown
aside as useless, playfully telling her to
shoot the dogs the next time they ap-
peared
Last evening she heard a connection
among her chickens and on rushing
out, revolver in hand, saw a dog de-
vouring nest of eggs. Grasping the
revolver firmly. she took careful aim
and fired.
There was a loud report and the dog
jumped high in the air and fell to the
ground writhing about as il in great
anguish. An examination revealed
the fact that the bullet had penetrated
the animals head, inhicting a fatal
wound.
Friends are complimenting Mrs. VIII
ley upon her excellent marksmanship.
She says that this was her first attempt

Arkansas and "raised" in blue jeans.

bored him horribly with talk about

"First cousin" replied Mr.. Garland
shortly. "He was hanged for horse
stealing"
A look Of i'll conceived horror and dis
gust came over the visitors cOunte-
nance. Then. drawing on his gloves. he
rose to his feet. took up his hat, and,
waving a hand toward the walls Of the
room, said: "a fine collection Of pOr-
traits you have here, Mr.. Gyarland.

VlrgInian stalked out, evidently glad
to make his escape, and the attorney

lengths, but hadn't a way that they

Mr. DealIyne, in company with James

not be found in that city. He was much

suit was that some thousand shad were
shipped to Pittsburg yesterday.
