PROSPECT FOR GOOD HUNTING
Wild Oats Plentiful in Marshes and
on Flats.

If big crops are any sign the hunting
season on the Potomac this fall should be
extraordinary. On the fats in the rear Of
the pier at Shepherds landing, on the Dis
trict side of the river, near Alexandria.
on the flats AT the south end of the new
Highway bridge and in Four-Mile run the
wild grain is so thick that it is going TO be
difiicult to shove a boat through it next
month. when hunting begins.
Reedbirds and other game birds, as well
as wild ducks. are fond of wild oats. They
flock where food is most plentiful. The
fine growth Of wild oats should attract
the birds and make hunting good.
The patch of oats in the rear of Shep-
herds Is within the District of Columbia,
and is in territory forbidden to hunters.
Last season the harbor police arrested a
number of hunters found in the marsh at
Shepherds. In the Police Court fines were
imposed.
AS this is one of the best huntig grounds
in this section, the hunters will take
chances of arrest and go there after birds.

held him and played a merry tattoo or
the victims belfry until there was a
general crosscro and counterlining OF
deep Jagged cuts which afterward neces-
STATED several packages of plaster and a
yard or more of bandages to repair. No,
content with this. Willie then proceeded
to blacken one of Jimmie's optics, and
countered rather heavily on his oppo-
nent's mouth and chin.
James, was sorry sight when he ap-
peared as the prosecuting witness yester
day.

A man is a resident of house where he

counsel contends that a mans domicile OF
home is where he lives and sleeps, and
that his place of eating has nothing to dc
with 1t.
