PIGEONS IN A DUEL.
Two Birds Have Desperate Fight in
Heart of Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 5.-Five
hundred people saw two game pigeons
put UP a desperate fight at Ninth and
Chestnut streets. Before the birds de-
cided to quit they had pecked each
other nearly out of shape, and when
they flew away they left many of their
feathers behind
The birds were more fortunate than
Fitzsimmons and O'Brien, as it was
impossible for them to suffer interior
ence at the hands of an officious po-
liceman. The birds would not take
chance at settling their differences,
whatever they were, on the sidewalk,
so they chose for their battle ground
a space at the top of a stone column
at the Ninth and Chestnut streets en-
trance to the postoftice building.
Here they were beyond the reach of
the reserve policeman who guards that
locality. The reserve, however, was
kept busy keeping the enthusiastic
spectators from blocking the sidewalk.
What the birds did not know about
BIS, ducks, uppercuts, swings and
hooks could be briefly told. They
fought for fully a half hour, and when
they quit and flew away, several mes
senger boys. who had witnessed the
Fitzsimmons-O'B rien bout, declared
that the birds could give these big
knights of the mitt cards and spades
about fightin' and then peat 'em out"

FIND METEOR ON PORCH.
Visitor From the Heavens Weighs
Five Hundred Pounds.

Cumberland, Nd, Aug. 5.-When r.
G. Richardson and wife of Keyser, W.
Va, went to Mountain Lake park to oc-
cupy their cottage they found an object
lying on the porch which myStified
them. A geologist from the Smithson-
ian institution, who is a guest at one of
the hotels. examined the object, which
resembles a large turtle, and pro-
nOunced it a meteor.
The geologist states that the meteor
descended with a spinning motion and
that the eartn's attraction was counter
balanced by the attraction in the
heavens, so that when the meteor had
about settled upon the earth, it had
also almost ceased moving. This is the
reason given for the cottage not being
damaged. The meteor weighs 800
pounds.

GETS BACK HIS FARM.
Iowa Soldier Receivers Property Which
He Lost During the War.

Columbus, O., Aug. 5.-Lewis StolI, an
old soldier, resident of this city, has
come into a fortune. He was an Iowa
soldier and served his country with
credit, but while gone he lost his farm
of 120 acres 1t is worth $4,000 and he
has just recovered it.
When the war came on StolI owned
a farm Iowa of $50 acres. He enlisted
in 1862 and served until the close of the
rebellion. While he was in the army
and at the front the farm was sold for
delinquent taxes.
Lately the present owner of the farm
wrote to Mr.. Stoll for a quitclaim deed,
and Mr.. Stoll gave it into the hands of
an attorney at Des Moines. The attor-
ney unearthed a law in that state
which exempted farms of soldiers who
were sent to the front from execution.
1t is not yet know when Mr.. Stoll
will take possession of his recovered
prODertV.
