field sports for many years II naturally comes

Mr.. Charles Fl. Turner Of st. Louis de-

Turner has not shot a gun for, twenty
years and has fallen out. OF the knowledge
of the present generation OF sportsmen.
In fact, he was never much known in
public prints.
His importation OF Eicho is an interest
ing little story OF itself. Being a young
man of large Inherited wealth and a keen
sportsman. he was anxious to get some
thing which might be classed as the best.
An Irishman in st. Louis had married a
young girl who had been the maid Of Mr..
turner's mother. Like most Irishmen,
he was a bit of a dog man. and Mr.:
Turner asked him IL he knew in Ireland
anybody who could select the best Irish
setter on that side. The lrishman
promptly gave the name Of Mr.. Cooper of

about twenty matches straight and in
variably leads his district in total scores

In the sole shoot of his district this year
he has headed the squad. as usual. He
generally leads the list of contestants in
the target practice of the St. Louis Re
yolver Club. which meets twice weekly,
but Doctor Kessler beat him last Friday,
Sears finishing third. For consistent work
Sears is admitted by Drillmaster Roemer
to be the wonder of the force.
Patrolman Sears Is attached to the sub
station of the Central District: located at
First and Chestnut streets. His reputa-
ion with the revolver has circulated
throughout the negro Levee resorts. and
it is a noteworthy fact that he has little
trouble In making arrests even in the
toughest parts of his beat.
He is extremely quiet in disposition,
rarely discusses his work with the re-
volyer and has had to draw his revolver
but once In his career on the force.
The occasion arose about one year ago,
when a negro badly stabbed another in a
saloon on the Levee. The negro attempted
flight. and as he had secured a good lead.
Sears was unable 20 overhaul him. As
the fugitive disregarded his repeated or
ders to stop. and as Sears believed that
the stabbed man had been killed. he was
determined to catch HE man. So he fired

Mr.. Turner imported Erin and Thor
from Ireland. Erin was a dog of high
field quality, but of very bad temper. On
n occasion he attacked Mr.. c. b Whit

with a piece of fence rail. Mr.. Turner
thinks that Erin was never. quite the
same dog afterward. though he found no

comparison the best field dog among the
many Irish OF which he had knowledge.

Sears uses a 4i-caliDer weapon with a

Mr.. Turner entered into correspondence

that country. Faust was an extremely

St. Louis Kennel Club. On account of tie
dogs intelligence and attractiveness, Mr..
Turner kept Faust at his own home a
great deal of the time.
METEOR AND MANIM.
A year or two later Colonel Hughes of
81. Louis, now of Denver developed an
interest in pointers. and in his behalf Mr..
Turner sent over to Pilkington for a
| brace of dogs. The latter quoted to him
Meteor and Maxim at 500 for the brace,
saying to Mr.. Turner that Meteor was the
ing a sheep-kiiler. and for nc other rea-
son, the dog could be spared for America.
Mr.. Turner ordered the brace for Colonel
Hughes. but they arrived in bad condi-
ton from their voyage. and Colonel
Hughes declined to accept them. A few
days later he changed his mind. and the
dogs became his property. Meteor never

which made them a sensation in and about

from these dogs.
Mr.. Turner's name also has an impor-
tant relation to American beagles. He
organized 6 pack of beagles and. among
others. owned Warrior. which was the sire
OF Dorsey's Champion Lee: and Lee was

Last Tuesday shooting was shifted for
ward on account of the race meeting com-
mencing at Nice. NJ. Castadere won tic
Prix Mylobais Handicap by killing IS birds.
This was Il miss-and-out contest. First
money was $40. He competed from the
26i2-yard mark.
The names figuring in each event are
practically the same. and the contestants
beat each other with great regularity.
Apparently the shots at the resort are
considered about the best in the business,
ana have the field to themselves. Certain
standing In the sporting clubs Of the
country from which they come Is required.
The money added to each event by the
Casino company is considerahla-erough
to make the game fairly profitable.
In looking over the scores made. and
considering the fact that the weather was
described as being more like April than
January" 1t certainly appears as II bet
the distances mentioned there are men in
st. Louis who would improve on the scores
quoted about 100 per cent.
Judging from the aspect Of the whole
affair it appears as II a few good American
shots could shut out the Continental
cracks in this game as readily as the
American horSemen and Jockeys nave cut
shone the natives on their own turf.
Secretary August Reese OF the Audubon
Society of Missouri will urge the claims

Sportsmen's Association of America,
which assemblies this year at Cleveland.
The convention is set for Tuesday. and
he hopes to convince the delegates that
st. Louis should be the site of the next
meeting.
| He will also talk on the subject of game
legislation. and will urge all those inter-
ested in the preservation Of game and fish
to unite in IA fight for better conditions.
AS the matter now stands. he claims. one
of the best game regions in the Middle

NEWS FOOLISH Talk.

Some of the Democratic papers
have been saying much off and on
about what d fine judge the Honor
able Judge Mason is and how we'll
he deals out Justice The Telegram
does not take issue with them in that
respect, but, when the News uses
these words in connection with a
sentence imposed BY him for what
it terms cold-blooded murder.
Hthere languishes behind the bars of
the penitentiary an individual,
serving minimum sentence, be-
cause the ability of the state didn't
prove that murder was committed
in the first. degree, the public knows
that its good opinion Of Judge
Mason and his official acts is only
professed and is full of insincerity.
Now, mark you, that sheet says it
was minimum sentence. The
state did not fix the sentence, but
the court did. Who is here censur-
ed by the News? Judge Mason
most assuredly. He did not have
to give a minimum sentence, if such
it was. Again, they talk about the
states ability to prove murder in
the first degree. Every one knows
that there was ponderous testimony
such as it was and that all who saw
it we're on the witness stand. They
were all sworn TO tell all they knew
and the case was vigorously prose-
cllted. If all was not learned about
it, it was not the fault of the court,
and, if the News and the Democratic
clique knew more than was brought
out, it was their duty as good citi-
zens and those who love justice to-
aid the state and not to protect Al
criminal. In this connection the
News is also challenged to produce
evidence that viii substantiate it's
remarks. Perhaps, when it gets
through, since it is so wise, it will
have actually demonstrated the fact
that there are some criminals at
large, who failed, when the court
was doing its uttermost to punish
the guilty, tried to protect them.
Tell us all you know about this case
that has not been told and the pub
lie may then Judge for itself. who
should be censured, and, if you
know things that were not brought
out, it is but right that the public
should give you the eensure you del
serve.

ASSdSSINATING gHRISTIa7sT
CHARdCTER.

Hon. Charles W. Lynch, who IS a
candidate for the Republican nofni-
nation for Judge, is the object Of
much scnrrilous abuse by the Salem
Express and some OF its cowardly
contributors-we say cowardly, be-
cause they fear to publish their
names and because none but towards
and scoundrels would thus indulge
themselves.
Notwithstanding the long list of
lies that paper publishes about Mr..
Lynch, be is known far and wide as
a man Of pure life, high ideas and
Christian gentleman. His record
both public and private is ideal and
any man has just cause to be proud
of it. He is firm in his conception
of what true manhood is and ever
practices it. He has the respect of
every honest man who knows him
and he is known among them as a
man whose habits. are pure, whose
life is without spot or blemish,
whose character is ideal from the
Christian standpoint, whose mind is
free from evil thought. whose heart
is with the cause of civilization.
Mr.. Lynch is that sort of man
that inspires pure life and com
mends himself to every man who be-
lieves in good citizenship. He is a
man who has moulded for himself
the way in life and made courage
GUS fight for the right. AS a citizen
he commands the highest esteem.
AS Christian he has the respect Of
the membership Of one of the most
influential and best churches in the
county and the denomination
throughout most of the counties of
the state points to him as a worthy
Christian worker.
The legal profession holds him in
high esteem and he has frequently
been called on by his home bar to
preside over their deliberations and
to decide the litigation they have to
deal with. In this respect he has the
confidence Of both Republican and
Democratic lawyers alike, because
they know him to be man of fair
ness and justice. This certainly is a
valuable testimonial and ought to
be persuasive enough to convince the
Salem Express that when it under
takes to assassinate the character of
such a man that it is indulging it
self in untruth and wicFedness.
