A .577 bullet effected this, and found 1t was 8 hyena, the first I had seen, though many time I have been dis turbed by them in camp at night. Next day they collected curious band of men and boys about 300 in all. aged from ten to 70, who beat large slices of the huge jungles where sambur were. One fine stag came my way.
 On the way back to camp, long shot in the dusk brought down a fairly good black buck, and next morning I struck camp and went into Rewah city.

IN THE POLICE COURT.
DisCord lin the Italian Band Caused
 a Free Fight. V.

An echo of the trouble between the Italian band and Frank DeFeo was heard in the city court to-day by Judge Burpee. DeFeo and the broth CTS Michael and Rafael Capelletti were charged with breach of the peace last Thursday evening. The evidence showed the trio were drinking in NJ colo Jacerusis saloon, Bank street, and DeFeo desired to treat the Capel- lettis. The latter, however, would not drink with him because he attached S2O0 belonging to the band. Where upon there was trouble immediately and chairs flew through the air
 DeFeo stated that since he attached the bands money all the Italians in town want >to lick him. One of the Capellettis bore marks of the trouble on his face. The court considered the honors were about evenly distributed and continued the case thirty days.
 James Carroll was fined $5 and costs for intoxication.
 hTe continued case against John A. Thomas for theft of ropes and hooks belonging to Edward Johnson, an em- ploye of the Farrel Foundy & Machine Go, but in James Grants possession, went to pieces. The case was heard
 
 ent that could identify the property, it was continued to to-day to have Johnson on hand. To-day there were two sets of ropes and hooks in the court, but Johnson, after examining them, could not say that either was his, and Grant could not identify them as the goods taken from him. Grant seemed dazed and more afraid of the consequences of the proceed ings than Thomas, who has been in custody since Friday night Judge Lowe appeared for Thomas and want ed him found not guilty. Prosecutor McMahon was willing to nolle the case and Judge Lowe thought Grant should be arrested. The court split the difference between the attorneys by discharging Thomas, which he said was tantamount to finding him not guilty.
 Upon leaving the room Thomas shook his fist at Grant. However he left the room with him and Johnson.

BRIDGE ON HIS HANDS.
It Floated From Avon to Emo Place
 In Simsbury.

Hartford, Sept 2O-Chauncey H. Emo, deputy collector of internal rev enue In this city, has wooden bridge on his farm in Simsbury, where he lives, that he is waiting. for some one to take away If the owners do not come for 1t MT Emo thinks he can uti- lize the lumber in the bridge for some purpose, perhaps for building new barn or tobacco shed.
 The bridge, until last Thursday, was located in the town of Avon and carried the highway across the Far mington river i'll that town. It was 15o feet long. Men had been engaged in repairing the abutments. The bridge was jacked up, and while it remained in it's exalted position last weeks rain of more than five inches came on. The waters rose and trees and other debris hoated down stream from as far up as Otis, Mass, where the Pennington river has. it's source. The bridge was lifted from the jack screws in the night and fioated down stream It floated under the Weu togue iron bridge in the town of sims bury and passed under the Simsbury Center bridge and continued down to Mir Eno's farm, where it came in con tact with a tree on the bank of the river and landed about 1000 feet north of the Hoskins Station bridge in the town of Simsbury
 When the bridge struck the tree there was a tremendous crash. MT Emo, who was in his house at the time, wondered what was the matter, but could see nothing when he went out to investigate. Tn the morning he saw that he had bridge on his farm and lie said Saturday it was there yet. A part of 1t is on his land and the re- mainder is in the stream. From the original location of the bridge to MT Eno's farm is about ten miles.
 Mir Emo has heard nothing from the authorities of Avon as to whether they are going to take the bridge away.

BREACH OF PROMISE.
First Suit of the Mind in Some Time
 VIII be Tried.

It has been some time since breach of promise suit was heard in the dis trict court, but Attorney Bauby filed one with Clerk Root yesterday which may be heard in a few months. The plaintiff is Nichelina Ressa, the de. fendant is Salvatore Mastriano, and the amount he is sued for Is $1,50O.
 These people came to public notice few weeks ago through rather sen sational claims made by the plaintiff. She claimed to have been assaulted by the defendant, but subsequently, lived with him for some weeks. Then she wanted him arrested, but the story she told of her living with the man did not seem to entitle her to a warrant. She now claims that MastTiano in- duced her to live with him on the promise of marriage and that he haa refused to keep his word.

The manhole at the corner of Washington avenue and Bank street was being cleaned and the refuse was being carted to the lots somewhere above Porter street. The cart was overloaded with water and sand and there was nothing but splashfng all along the street It is estimated that the driver had about half his load when he reached his des- tinatiOn
 Bank street near the bridge where the sewer pipes are being laid is now entirely blockaded. One side is blocked up entirely and the other side is very near in the same condition. The paving stones take up about half the sidewalk and a fruit stand that projects out couple of feet nearly blocks the way, and it has got now that stranger when he sees the peo- pie lining up to pass along thinks you have to show ticket in order to get to the other side of the bridge. Dur ing the noon hour, when the shop hands are going to their dinners, there is n rush to get through and unless something is done to make more room someone is liable to get hurt. The stones could easily be removed to the vacant lot and there would be no cause to complain.
