 The judges wiil allow only those dogs the innxi-

 existing circumstances : a dog to earn the maximum number 

 under this head, must display a first-class nose, 

 exhibit, great judgment In finding and pointing his birds, and 

 make no flushes that a dog with the above una!. 

 avoid in ordinary hunting. The dogs are to be" hunted in all 

 respects as in an ordinary day's shooting. Inexcusable or 

 willful flushes will detract from a dog's -core under this head, 

 but the character of the. flush must be always taken into 

 account in estimating toe-penalty, II 103 -hall always 



nature of the ground, the wind and the birds, and 

 not penalize a dog for flushing a bird that it would be impos- 

 sible to point. The penalty for flushing is to be graded by the

 Daxvillk, Va., October 9. —Three men were, shot and pro- 

 bably fatally wounded in the lower part of Franklin county 

 yesterday in a fight growing out, of a. dispute over the pulling 

 of a dog's tail. Joseph P. Love, a fugitive from justice from 

 West Virginia, has been living with his father-in-law near the 

 scene of the tragedy tor some time. Yesterday Love, his 

 father, brother-in-law and brother, Charles Love, were in 

 the woods hunting. Love's father-in-law pulled the tail ol 

 one of the dogs belonging to his son-in-law. This was followed 

 by denunciations from Love, who declared that no man of 

 honor would pull a dog's tail. A general fight ensued, m 

 which Love's father-in-law. brother and brother-in-law 

 seriously an 1 probably fatally wounded by him. He himseli 

 i a slight wound. The weapon used by Love was a 

 . , y revolver. One of the other men was armed with 

 a small pistol. The affair creates great excitement in the 

 neighborhood in which it occurred.
