A Pheasant's Blind Flight.

Speaking of the habits of pheasants'

"a very curious incident was record

was flushed in a field of turnips, and
as she got up flew into piece of rot

head, completely enveloping 1t and

"The frequency with which pleas
ants fly through windows, sometimes
with fatal results, is thought to be due
to the bird in its haste being deceived
by the reflection in the glass of the
landscape behind it."

Indian Shoots at Dance.

Wewoka, Okla, Oct. 9.-Because
there was liquor on his breath when
he made application to participate
in a stomp dance on Little river, and
was therefore disqualified under the
rules, Jack Brown, son Of the governor
of the Seminole nation, shot and dan
gerously wounded Thompson Davis. a
doorkeeper at the dance.
The dance was held at the Red
school house and after the time-honor-
ed fashion of the Seminole indians.
II had been ordained that no drunk
enness would be allowed and the rules
went so far as TO exclude any who had
the smell of liquor on their breaths.
When Brown asked TO enter the school
house, his liquor breath was scented
and he was refused admittance.

WOULD-BE THIEF.

Early Sunday morning, police Off
GERS Emerson and Lathrop were at

In the rear of the Ditzler Dry Goods
Co., and upon investigation found
party who gave his name as Martin
In the yard inspecting the building.
He had his shoes off, and had them
in his coat pockets, and upon the
approach of the officers Started to
run. He paid no attention to a com
mand to halt, and the officers took
a shot at him in hopes that he would
surrender. He had no such idea and
continued his course, when "Old
Nuisance" the white bulldog of the
police department, butted in and
took the case out of the hands of
the officers She pursued the fugitive
and fastened her teeth in a con
venient portion OF his trousers and
brought him TO halt. Chief Gar
rett came up about that time and
as there WAS scarcely a case against
the party. asked him Just how many
minutes he required to leave the
town. He replied that he thought
thirty minutes would be enough, and
Chief Garrett escorted him to the
city limits and headed him south.
He was evidently about to force an
entrance into the Ditzler store, as
one OF the screens was found to
have been tampered with. "Old Nuis-
ance" has proven herself to be
very efficient peace officer on more
than one occasion, and her latest
exploit is not the least Of her tri-
umphs.

Case Against Grandfather Clause.

Guthrie, Okla, Oct. 9.-Attorneys
for Daniel Sims, an aged ex-slave,
began action in the federal circuit
court yesterday for an injunction to
restrain precinct election officers in
tie city of Guthrie from preventing
Sims from voting in the general cleo
ton, also to have the so-called grand
father clause to the state constitution
declared unconstitutional Sims Is a
negro, 64 years of age, and can neither
read nor write, and Notwithstanding
he was registered prior to the primary
election, when he voted, and when the
grandfather clause was adopted, he
will be barred from voting on Nov. s
by terms of the constitutional amend
ment.
The federal court IS asked to review
the matter since members of con-
eress are to be elected on Nov. s, thus
constituting a federal question. The
petition declares the grandfather
clause to be in violation of the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments TO
the federal constitution, as well as to
provisions Of the states organic act,
wherein It is provided that no discrim-
inatlon shall ever be made in the
right of suffrage because Of race,
color or previous condition Of servi-
tude. Since the clause imposes an
educational test upon all persons who
themselves or their grandfathers did
not possess the right to vote under
some form Of government prior to Jan.

in some foreign country Deing relieved,

race Is to be subjected to greater
test than the voters OF any other race
or color, and permits discrimination,

MANY BRUTAL OUTRAGES
Following Issuance Of Decree Ban

and Ruffians Batter Down Doors
Of Converts.

Lisbon, Oct 10.-The revolutionary
leaders are now busy trying to put
an end TO the excesses of the rough
er element or their following and
to quell mob rule.
The decree banishing the religious
orders gave excuse for brutal out
RACES against the clericals.
The mob. which battered down the
doors of the convent in Rua Dequel-
pas was led by the fanatics and ruff
flans who tried to destroy everything
in sight.
Images and statues were wrench
ed from their inches, affairs were
wrecked, furniture broken and sa-
cardotal yestments carried away.
The clericals firing from the win
dows OF the convent originally arous-
ed the fury OF the revolutionists,
which developed into a riot.
The spirit OF the government.
through the police, is in striving to
stamp out all ruffianism.
