By the time we bad gotten warmed

Shooting Season Responsible for Three
of Them

A chapter OF accidents occurred Tuesday
in the Anacostia section. some of which
were not recorded on the police books. The
shooting season was responsible for three
of them which took place on the Anacostia

This was followed by the premature ex-

the actions of a violent horse. which he had
recently purchased. Mr.. fuckers son had
gone to attend to the animal In the stable

to compel the young man to retire. MIR.

which seized his right leg and shook him
firecely and endeavored to stamp upon
him. Mr.. Tucker was finally rescued. and
has since been confined to bed. He Is re-

Piertro LanzilH Files Petition fe
Leave to Bring Suit.

SoSS ~ oA40S 0u1I.
Pietro LanzilM today filed in the District
Supreme Court certain papers In connection
with the cause entitled Giovanni Morisi
against Pietro Lanzilli, the original pro-
ceedings in which case were for the dis
solution OF partnership said to have ex-
listed between the parties to the suit
In December. 1902 Morisi and Lanzilli.
the latter fencing master of this city,
formed partnership for the purpose Of
conducting a grocery and wholesale LIQUOR
establishment, under the firm name of
Pietro Lanzilli & Co. The place Of busi-
ness was at l0l8 Connecticut avenue north
west. Some differences arose between the
partners In the business. and early in jan
uary of this year proceedings were begun
before the District Supreme Court for the
dissolution of the partnership
the matter has occupied the attention of
the courts here at various intervals since
that time The assets were placed in the
hands OF a receiver and later, by order Of
the court. were given into the custody Of
Lanzilli, who was authorized to sell the
wines at private SALE
From the petition filed by Mr.. I.anzilli
today 1t seems that there was some hitch
In the matter OF disposing OF the wines
The defendants authority to sell the uuuor.
1t Is stated, was questioned by the excise
board.
MIR. LanzilH in his petition charges the
complainant in the original suit and the
receiver appointed by the court with ma
Hcfous prosecution, and he asks leave of
the court to bring action on the receiver's
bond for the recovery of damages. Mr..
Lanzillt also petitions the court to have
the order of sale delayed for the months
Of September and October 1903
The hearing of the last phase of the con-
troversy will probably be given by Justice
Gould tomorrow; Lanziili appears as at
torney for himself.

The Passing Of the "Panama, y
From tho I0ndOn Outlook

From the London outlook.
Strangely enough. Panama hats are mt
much affected by Englishmen resident in
the lands where they are produced. Their
vogue In England and the United States for
the past two summers was merely a craze.
They were worn by many persons who
should have known better Panama hats
go naturally with white duck clothing and
soft shirts. Crfcketing or boating flannels
win do well enough. but stiff collar or
patent leather boots bring discredit upon
themselves or upon the Panama hat.
Neither does the Panama go well with a
fair complexion and Hght-colored hair,
Your swarthy skin and dark hair carry
the Panama best. Girls who would wear
them should have vell-formed heads and q
saucy air. Strict dec0rum and the Panama
hat go not well together. Fat men who
perspdre steadily and readily should eschew
them. or rather should have eschewed them.
for tat OF sliA viii net wear them much
longer. The Panama hat is dying. Any
specimens which cost three guipeas or over
may be kept as a curiosity. Under that
price they may b barnsd Of converted into
baskets.
