Audubon Society Outings.

The annual spring field meetings of the
society for observation of birds will be
five in number this season. AS heretofore
they will be in charge of competent orni-
biologists who will be at the service of
those who attend, and are open to all who
desire to take advantage of the exceptional
opportunity offered to learn something of
birds. Lack of membership in the society
or of acquaintance with any of its mem
bers, they say, will be no bar to attendance
or to an enjoyable and profitable outing
Each member of the party is expected to
provide his own luncheon, pay his own car
fare, and in the case of the Great Falls
trip pay a fee of fifty cents to cover the
cost of the boat. The return to the city
will always be made in time to allow those
attending to reach their homes by o'clock.
The first outing will take place tomorrow,
and the party will go by way of the military
bridge to Woodside, Md Each succeeding
Saturday there will be an outing.

come the popular fad among crooks and
Others of that class. Tuesday Jim Berry
went to Jail for year for indulging in
such sport and another man, William Fox

liar offense yesterday

On Monday afternoon woman came to
the station house and asked that an Off
Ger be sent to North court to arrest her
husband, Edward Gay, for disorderly con-
quot. Onlcer Green was sent to the place.
He went, knowing that North court has
bad reputation for wickedness, and know
ing not what kind of a reception he would
receive. When he went to the room he wa S
taken into 1t and was then locked into It.
Then, the officer says two men jumped
on him and a hard fight ensued. Officer
Green was hit in the eye and on the arm
and hand, and was injured so badly that
he had to go to Freedmans Hospital to
have his wounds dressed. An outsider saw
the trouble and summoned aid from the
station house. The officer and the man he
tried to arrest fought from one house, out
of the back door, into the back of the
next house and through that house to the
front door. 1t was a fight on both sides all
the time. In the second house the officer
the stand that she was only trying to tell
the officer that he had the wrong man.
The help from the station house arrived
at that time, and Officer Green put Edward
Gay and Jenny Payne under arrest.
After hearing the evidence yesterday
Judge Scott sentenced Gay to sixty days in
Jail. He took the personal bonds of the
woman to keep the peace.
