Concerning Pigeon Shooting.

Chicago Record Herald.
 If it Is fxue that the trap-shooters are from among the best classes of people. physicians. lawyers and business men. the fact does not humanize or justify the cruel sport of 5laughtering and natming birds as fast as they are liberated from a cage. A lawyer with gun. peppering away at the feathered innocents as they flutter from the trap door. seeking the freedom for which nature made them. may come from ''the best classes" but the spectacle Is none the less degrading and is revolting to men and women of feeling and sensihiHty.
 The plea that this brutality is necessary to nable men ''to go aiield in season and secure a fair bag of game" is unworthy of men of ordinary intelligence and re- inement The ability to go aheld and shoot game on the wing Is acquired by going afeld and shooting at game-noe by slaughterihg and multilating trapped pigeons at a distance of few yards,

 Taken from River.

Wetumpka. July .S-(Special)-A veil of mystery surrounds the death Of Clarence Simmons. a negro boy Is or IA years of age, found floating in the Coosa River yesterday. The fact that the boys clothing could not be found created some suspicion and a post-mortem examination was held which revealed the fact that the neck was broken

Several negro boys who were in bathing Sunday were examined by Solici- tor Holley and all of them testified that they did not see Clarence at any time during Sunday. The manner of their general demeanor during the investiga- ton caused the justice to remand them to iail and one of the number on the way to the jail acknowledged that the dead boy was one of the number in bath ing Sunday. The three in jail awaiting further investigation are Kelton Cren- shaw. John Ware and Ed Will Bradford, the oldest not over 16.
