Florence. June ts.--(Special)--
Judge Charles p. Almon of the Lauder
dale County Circuit Court has been
called upon at this term of court to
decide a knotty problem and one which
has never before been raised In any
State in the Union.
Seven turkeys owned by NJ. +. jack
son, were killed ON the track Of the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad a
few miles north of Florence and the
owner brought suit against the rail-
road company for $40 damages.
The question was raised as to wheth-
er a turkey IL an animal or an OBJ
struction in the sense of the statute
which requires the alarm whistle to be
sounded and brakes put down and ev-
cry possible means employed to stop
the train when an animal or other OBJ
struction appears on the track.

. RECEIVERS CHILDREN.
Georgia woman Has Experience with
Alabama Relatives.

Phenix City. June 15.-(Special. y
Mrs. Minnie L. Ship of Columbus. has
Just recovered her three children from
Phenix City relatives of her husband,
Charlie Ship, under circumstances
rather sensational.
Two or three weeks ago Mrs. Shipp
filed in Muskogee Superior Court suit
for divorce from her husband. Shortly
after the proceeding was brought.
Ship took the children and brought
them to the Alabama side of the Chat
tahoochee River. turning them over to
relatives who, it Is alleged. kept them
locked up in a house near the Metho-
dist Church in this city.
Mrs. Shipp heard that the children
were in Alabama and instituted dill
gent search through Phenix City and
Girard for them, finally locating them.
Her husbands relatives would not sur
render them, however, and she went
before Judge ]. S. Kimbrough and
swore out a warrant against the par
ties who were holding the children.
When the bailiff and Mrs. Shipp went
to the scene the door of the house was
found to be unlocked. and Mrs. Ship

by the defense and the opinion OF
Judge wilkes of the Tennessee su-
preme Court read. in which three geese
were run over by railroad train. The
decision in question recites that birds
have wings to move them quickly from
places of danger and 1t Is presumed
they will use them: q violent presump-
ton In the case of a goose-an animal
which appears to be loath to stoop
from It's dignity to escape a passing
train. But the line must be drawn
somewhere and we are Of the opinion
that the goose Is the proper bird to
drawfit at"
Judge Almon, in his decision avoided
the dangerous point as to whether tur-
keys are animals or distractions as
contemplated In the statute. and gave
the verdict In favor of the defendant on
the ground that the plaintiff did not
show recklessness or common law neg
ligence on the part of the efendant.

Senator Morgan got hot around his

the magnate that when he came to

the next breath he Informed the mag
nate that his room was better than

Mr.. Huntington was not long In sac-
fcepting the invitation to take his de-

Senator Morgan often said to me that
he considered the offer Of Huntington
the worst insult he ever received dur

he bought the property. 1t cost him
only $4,000. 1t is a large. brown

Had they done nothing more Jack
Sullivan and Jim Flynn demonstrated
last night that they are men who can
II they wish fight for twenty rounds In
a gcntlemanly and sportsmanlike man
ner above par. Not an incident oc-
CURED which marred the battle so far
as uncalled for action was concerned,
while several Of the courtesies which
are liable to be forgotten came into
play
But that was not all When Referee
Gus Herget raised the arms OF both
men after the final gong had sounded
he brought TO a close one Of the most
terrific ring affairs ever witnessed in
Los Angeles.
Apparently Jim Flynn suffered no
harm by participating in last nights
draw. as II was his great strength and
gameness which prevented Sullivan
from taking the long end. AS I'm the
former battle Sully demonstrated that
ne Is far and away Flynns master so
far as ring craft is concerned. 1t was
simply a question Of bulldog willing
ness and superior knowledge Of the
things which go to make the greatest
generals at the game.
Flynn is certainly all that could be
desired when IL comes to taking full
nedged blows on face and body. His
ruggedness was strongly apparent in
the rushing manner IN Whlcn ne lOTCeu
Sullivan time and again to the ropes.
In the gallery the whirlwind tactics of
Flynn made manifest appeal but at the
ringside It was readily to be seen that
the going was agreeable to sullivan,
who time and again met the oncoming
bursts Of Flynn with straight jabs
which, IL they did not worry, discon-
certed jim.
The final rounds showed plainly that
Flynn was disconnected. He realized
that his play was futile so far as a
knockout was concerned. He did his
best and that best was not sufficient to
hinder Sullivan from jabbing him re-
peatedly until he slowly but surely not
only made up for the effect of Flynn s
early efforts but attained lead in
points.
Flynn appeared in splendid condition
and fought a far faster battle than ever
before. At times 1t appeared as though
Sullivan was being swept away by the
savage rushes which marked many a
round.
The decision was greeted with un-
stinted applause and each man de-
clared that he had no protest to render.

Gait team; at the same time he drew
up his firsts- in a menacing posture
Like a crash of thunder out of a clear
sky came the answer.
With a terrible blow on the heavy
set jaw of the big fellow, Brusso
knocked him right over the veranda
railing and followed up so closely that
when the smith pulled himself up out
of the dust he landed several more in
such rapid fashion that the big bully
was knocked completely out before he
knew what had happened
Brusso quietly climbed back on the
porch and, picking up his pipe, re-
sumed his smoking. The crowd gasped
in wonderment.
Here was their champion, lying his
full six feet of length, unconscious, in
front of them with his eyes fast clos
ing and blood running in streams from
his nose, mouth and cuts on his face,
and all done by a three quarter grown
boy.
The manager of the Gait team was
the first to recover from his surprise,
and getting a pail of water from the
nearby pump, they washed the bully s
face to revive him. When he came to
fight taken out of him, was accom-
panied home by his friends
The remainder crowded round the
quiet lad with great respect and gazed
with wide-open mouths at the con-
queror of their hitherto invincible
champion.
Brusso's reputation as a scrapper was
henceforth an established fact, and
when some of the villagers were IN

1t is safe to say that henceforth none
of the village bullies were ever anxious
to pick quarrel with the young Dutch

Brusso said nothing, but when the
game was finished went with the rest
of the players to their hotel, where they
dressed and went to supper.
While at the meal the manager uI
the Gait team came in and said: Boys
there will be trouble tonight. Our
friend. the smith, is looking for you

continued eating, but in the meantime
told some one to tell the smith not TO
go away, as he would be out soon.
When they went outside the smith
was not I'm sight, and all concluded that
there was a mistake of some kind, so,
drawing up their chairs they leaned
back against the wall to enjoy smoke
before the horses were hitched up.
Soon, however, they heard a confused
talking from a little distance down the
road and around the bend a gang of
men came in sight with the smith at
their head. He came right up to the
veranda, and jumping over the railing
looked around for a moment, not at
first recognizing Noah in his street
clothes.
A second look at BrussO seemed to
assure him, and then he asked the quiet
