VALUE or HouN' DOGS.
Jury Gives Verdict Of $500 For Death
Of TWO.

Marlinton, w. Va, April ga
case of unusual interest was tried In
the Focahontas county Circuit Court
at Marlinton and 5000 damages was
recovered by the plaintiff. The suit
was for 5000 for the loss OF two
hounds. The defense was that at the
time the hounds were shot they We're
chasing and worrying sheep.
The evidence showed that about day
light the morning Of March 5, 1911,
the hounds passed the house OF Jacob
beverage. on Clover Creek, in full cry
after a red fox, running strong. A few
minutes afterward they were seen
running sheep at Christ Mclaughlin
In company with a shepherd dog OF
doubtful character, and the hounds
were shot and Killed b. Mclaughlin.
The shepherd dog was killed later in
the day by Jason Beverage.
The theory OF the defense was that
The red fox with rs usual cunning,
had run among the sheep and that the
shepherd dog was there for a felon-
ious purpose and caused the hounds
to join him. The case will be appeal
ed.

 Wounded

Paris. April 24.--One more crime was added this morning to the long list of those recently committed by the gang of bandit anarchists which is terror izing Paris Assistant Superintendent Jouln of the Paris detective department was shot dead and his comrade, Chief Inspector Colmar, seriously wounded while trying to arrest one of the gang named Galot at Petit Ivry, a suburb, today. The bandit escaped. Another double murderer. that of an aged man and his wife, who were beaten to death at Thiais on the Seine, has been traced, definitely to the same gang of bandits near Bijou, and this brings the number of their victims to over score.
 Premier Poincare visited colmar in the hospital this afternoon and in formed him that he would receive the legion of honor.
 Prefect LePine says that Assistant Superintendent Jouin with four in- spectors went to the refuge of Bonnet, who is known as the demon" chauf- feur With Garnier the demon runs q garage The detectives were unarmed. The law does not authorize the car rying of arms by officers when search ing domiciles. Bonnet, who was mis- taken for Galot at first was found In his lair.
 When the detectives arrived Galot shot two detectives, knocked down the rest and jumped through window. Brandishing revolver he cleared fl way on the streets and escaped to the woods, leaving a trail of blood spots.

It is the estimate of the leaders that more than 100000. persons have been reached.
