MEANEST MAN IS DISCOVERED
Reaches From Window Of Moving
Train and snatches Whisky Flask
From Thirsty Soul.

Wesson, Miss.-About the meanest
trick recorded here was played when
some person reached his arm out Of
the window Of a moving train and
snatched a bottle of whisky out OF a
mans hand just as he was In the act
OF taking a drink.
Three or four prominent citizens of
Wesson had been up to Hazlehurst at
tending court, and had just returned
on the local passenger train, which
arrives here about $50 o'clock. Some
where or other a bottle Of the real
Kentucky brand had been procured,
and as soon as the train stopped at
the depot these gentlemen alighted
from the platform and walked toward
the ear Of the train until they came
to q dark place.
Here the bottle was quickly un-
.corked, the "AlphonseGaston' cere-
mony gone through with, and one Of
the party was just lifting the bottle
to his lips when it vanished.
There was q. wild chase after the
train, but 1t was fruitless.

hen. probably the most timid Of birds.
Ii Newman has also been very sue
eessful in his pictures OF large birds,
such as the South American condor,
the American eagle and the buzzard
and vultures of the South. As may
be surmised. a different sort of skill
Is required to get such pictures as
these. #es. v@.r E.3rs.
As may be een by the accompany

ing and nerve. The photographer is

G. Blake Garrison, a photographer
Of animals, was BADLY hurt in his
initial attempt of this nature in s-outh
America. He was attacked by one OF
the birds while in this precarious posi-
ton and severely clawed before his
partner was able to draw him up. In
defending himself he lost his machine,
necessitating the retaking Of the pic
ture under more auSpiciOus condi-
lions.
The smaller quadrupeds. those semi
domesticated animals which we meet
in our every day life, such as the rab-
bit and squirrel, are not a simple
quarry by any means. Mr.. Garrison
in his experience has found the best
way to get these animals is with a
papier mache COW, or other large ami
mails. which, like the horse of Troy,
will conceal men. This. together
with the mechanism for initiating the
cameras noise, will usually serve to
deceive even a willy fox. The COW is
life size and has a number Of small
holes in the sides which serve to
allow the camera to center on the sub
iect, and also are used for peep holes,
