PIGEON DISCUSSION.
Ss~e Op,nisas ss ts the Rules of Live
 Pigeon ShestiaI.

Considerable discussion as to rules has arisen over the live pigeon shoot that is scheduled to take place Christ mas afternoon out on the fair grounds.
 While it is all friendly enough you can see readily from the conversation that "some of us" are heap less jiggley on the trigger than others.
 Sliker, he winked and objected to Pollock using dipnet; Pollock was sore of course because they wouldn't let him in with his pet scheme, and retaliated on Sliker by refusing to sanction Sliker's scheme of tying a heavy rope to the birds leg.
 Then up jumped Hurry Hibben, who wanted to be permitted to take pot shot at the whole coop every other time. Quinlan wouldn't agree to this unless he was allowed to fill up his old muzzle loader with a special brand of biscuit he makes; Brown thought this would be all right if it was unloaded at the variety of game he was used to hunting at Dry Lake wooden ducks wouldn't mind it, you know.
 Amundsen insinuated that each con- testant should be compelled to turn a back handspring and run forty yards before shooting; Hibben agreed to roll over, which of course would take the same amount of space for him, but here is where Gay Robinson spread his wings and ruffied up his feathers and moulted. He thought each one should be dignified and not shoot un- til he pulled the trigger, even though the pigeons were killed outright.
 Coalter put his stamp of disapprov- al on this scheme, and wanted to play safe by delicately reaching into the coop and abbreviate the existence of the bird by carefully unwinding it's neck-the guns might be shot few

times just to make the birds feel that they were having good time.
 George Morse almost agreed to this until he commenced figuring on how many birds would eventually reach his ranch, then he bowed up and wanted to leave it to John Francis.
 John thought a bird in the hand was worth as much as a bird in the cOop-if you owned the coop, but a bird on the wing was bird durned long ways from pOtpie.
 The general idea of all was to shoot the 800 birds first and eat them after wards, but at last accounts each one was shaking dice with himself to see whether or not he'd take any chances on losing pOtpie or hold on to a dead sure thing.

 The new Los Angeles Examiner made it's appearance on Saturday, one day earlier than first announced. The change of date is supposed to have been made because of the Sunday date falling on the 18th day of the month, the fateful numeral thirteen being too much for even Mir. Hearst to go against. The paper is a counterpart of the San Francisco Examiner and it's Sunday edition was filled with ad- vertisement and if the same rate is maintained the paper will not be long in making a financial success of the Los Angeles venture.

TAZEWELLt VA, July lo.-Immense
development is going on at Sand Lick,
about twenty-eight miles north of this
place. almost on the border Of the
county.
The United States Steel Company,
which Is said to be the largest trust in
the world. with Its vast capital OF one
billion four hundred and twenty million,
has taken hold Of twenty thousand acres
OF coal lands at that point. and have
within period OF fourteen months al
most built a city In the wilderness.
They have constructed over one thou
sand houses within that period. all of
superior quality and have already built
more coke ovens than Is found In the
entire soft coal field OF this section. 1t
Is said the development Is to be on an
immense scale, and the impression made
upon one visiting there Is illustrative
by the remark of countrynan coming
back from tina: point. when Intercepted
in reference to the development, who
said. "All the world Is there!'
Ex-senator st. Clair, who Is a man OF
affairs himself, Just returned from Sand
Lick and he says that no one who has
not been there can form any conception
OF the magnitude of the work done and
undertaken by the trust.
The general prosperity of this whole
section, partly BY reason of the devel.
opments on the northern border is won,
derful, and the volome of money Is such
that county bonds for road purposes We're
taken up at less than four per cent.

Especial to The Times-Dispatch)
& NORFOLK, VA, July lO-John Pickins
was on trial in the Corporation Court
today for murder The charge Is that
he killed the old negro woman. Maggie
Grant. The story Of the case Is that he
was out early on the morning Of May
18th, probably under the Influence OF
drink. and passed along, Smith Street t.
house. asked why she did not meet him;
and when she answered that she did not
know him, he entered and struck her
with a lamp, She was taken to the
hospital, where she died on June 4th. The
plea OF the defense is that the woman
died from natural causes: that she was
about to die anyhow and did not die in
consequence of the blows from the de-
PENDANT
The case is interesting, because the de-
PENDANT was the husband OF the widow
of the late Congressman Diezendorf, OF
this district The defendant has been en-
ployed In the custom house. and is well
known about the city.
The trial was not finished, because the
Jury was unable to agree, on verdict.
Judge Hanckel did not wish to dismiss
the Jury till there has been thorough
effort to agree. hence he adjourned the
case till next Tuesday.
