The GUN CLUB
No Remarkable Shooting at Yester-
days Practice.
A Match Arranged for Next Week
Seven Entries Thus Far.

There was a good attendance at the
railroad mems gun club shoot at the
depot grounds yesterday afternoon but
no remarkable shooting was done.
Messrs Hart Bronaugh, of the city,
and Ed Cowling, Of Metropolis, did
the best shooting, Mr.. Bronsugh get
ting the best score, "a out Of so clay
birds and Mr.. Cowling running a close
second. Messrs. Starr, Tabscott and
Mercer did comparatively poor shoot
ing and made small scores.
A match shoot has been arranged
between seven Of Paducah's BEST
marksmen and the shoot will probably
be pulled of about Tuesday next.
The following are those who have
agreed to &C in: Messrs. George Rob
ertson, Walter wilkins, Hart Bron-
augh, Edward Mumford, Nose Sta TT.
Emery Tabscott and ". A. Davis, the
winner taking all the entry fee, $40
per man, making q total stake of $40.
The shooters will shoot at 100 birds
each and the result will be watched
with interest.
The prizes won by many of the com
paratively young shooters in the Pa
ducah gun clubs has encouraged others
to join the club and enter the prize
shooting matches.
One shooter, a man who has shot
over the traps short time only, re
o>ntly carried away several nice little
prizes amounting to quite a neat sun
aud for an afternoons work it was al
excellent showing.
For q time the Paducah gun clut
members were the only msrksmen
who attracted particular attention in
the tournaments but now since the
railroad engineers have organized and
begun to. shoot all the honor is moi
retained by the former club and this
rsilroadsers have come in for theii
share.

CUDA'S FUTURE.
Her Only Hope is in Annexation to
the United States.
General Fitzhugh Lee Does Not Take
Very Sanguine View Of it.

Washington, July S-General Fitz-
hugh Lee, former consul general at
Havana, before the Spanish war, who
was in Washington today, sounded a
warning on Cuba and came strongly
to the support of President Roosevelt
in his campaign for reciprocity.
Most important of all his statements
was that in regard to the awful bust
ness depression which has already set
in and consequent curtailment of the
steamship service between the United
States and Cuba. He takes very
gloomy view Of the new republics
future and goes so far as 70 say that
anarchy is not far away. Unless
the United States comes to the help
of what he considers doomed people
he says that annexation is certain and
predicts that the American flag will
soon be hoisted over the island, never
again to come down.
General Lee further went on to say
that trouble Of a serious nature was
likely to break out in Cuba at any mo-
ment. II the Cuban government could
ever establish business relations and
confidence with American merchants
life and property would be safe and
American capital would see invest
ment All this is not possible under
the present condition and with the
refusal of congress to grant recipro-

One Is Reported in Precarious Con

A GREAT DEAL OF EXCITEMENT

Passengers from Smithland this
morning report quite a sensation in

According 70 reports rough and
tumble fight between two highly res
pected young ladies of the village is

A week or two ago, it appears from

Miss Stella Stanford and Miss Floyd
Hutchinson met in store there and
had a quarrel over some reports that
had been circulated. the alteration
ending in fight.
In the scufiie one Of the girls, Miss
Hutchinson, bit the other on the arm.
They were soon separated by the pro-
prietor Of the store, and nothing more
was thought Of it until blood poison.
ing developed in the bite on Miss
Stanford's arm and the young lady
is reported in a precsrious condition
with prospect of losing her arm, II
not her life. At last accounts, how
ever, everything possible was being
done for her. and she may recover.

ABOUTDOGS.
SENTIMENT AGAINST KILLING
THEM Is GROWING
STRONGER.

Last night during the council meet.
ing 1t was ordered that Marshal Grow
be requested that no more dogs be
thrown into the Ohio river to bother
the Metropolis people, but no dead
CANNES have been cast into the waters
for several days.
Marshal Grow has not been taking
up the dogs for several days and said
ct the time he stopped the dog catch
ers from work that he would see IL
there was not another and better way
to have the dog tax matter adjusted.
He suggested that he be- allowed an
extra police man ma wagon to go
over the town and catch the dog, but
will now adopt a still better plan. He
will have every officer to keep look
out for untagged dogs and all that are
found will be reported to him with
the owners names and addresses and
warrants will be pr ocured against
them. One councilman said that he
was against killing the dogs even II
the town was overrun by them and
thought the owners might be made to
come up and pay the taxes the same
as the property owners who have to
pay penalty if they fail to pay their
assessment at the proper time. The
latter idea of Marshal Grow seems TO
be the best and only safe way out of
the matter.

POINTED TODAY AS ONE
OF THEM.

authorized by the council last night to
take up cows caught running ct large.
There is at present an ordinance pro-
hibiting the running at large Of stock
at night, but 1t has never been enforc.
ed to any extent because 1t is too much
trouble for the police officers TO drive
the animals to the pound when they
are found.
The two men authorized by the
board will go over the city in buggies
and take up all cows and horses found
inside the city limits.
