HOT SHOT FOR SAUCY CROW

Geneseo, N.Y., May 18 - Mrs. Rose WARD of this place, tried an experiment last week on a crow that persisted in depositing one of her turkeys of its eggs. Every day, about the time that this particular bird was accustomed to lay, the crow would be hovering near and would snatch up and bear off the egg as soon as the turkey hen stepped off its nest. At daybreak Friday Mrs. WARD arose and going to the nest that the turkey frequented, left in it a turkey egg, the interior of which was filled half with egg material, and half of pepper sauce. Before the turkey got around to lay, the crow discovered the egg and promptly committed another larceny. The sable one has not disturbed the turkey's nest since, and the supposition is that the bird is still busy sneezing.

GIRL SERIOUSLY HURT WHEN MOTORCYCLES COLLIDE

Reports state that Miss PLATT and her sister spent the day at Sea Breeze yesterday and missed the last car to the city. Two young men, riding motorcycles, offered to convey the girls to their homes. The invitation was accepted. Miss PLATT took a seat on the rear of the motorcycle ridden by a Joseph WILKERSON. Her sister took a similar position on the machine ridden by the companion of WILKERSON, whose name has not been learned. It is said both machines were traveling at a moderate rate of speed. HOLMES was traveling toward Sea Breeze for his brother, after having taken a friend home. HOLMES collided with WILKERSON while attempting to dodge a bad stretch of road. The collision was head-on. Miss PLATT was thrown over the handlebars into a ditch. HOLMES was hurled into the ditch, but WILKERSON escaped with a bad shaking up.
The machine which was carrying Miss PLATT's sister was stopped and both riders escaped injury. A physician took Miss PLATT, who was rendered unconscious and HOLMES to the Homeopathic Hospital. The hospital authorities were unable to state the nature of the injuries, as she is now under the care of her own physician. HOLMES is suffering from cuts and bruises and an injury to his right hand and wrist.

BULL CAUSED ROW

Fred MEISTER Locked Neighbor's Animal Up and Declares Latter Remonstrated With a Club.

Justice Benton and a Supreme Court jury to-day are hearing the suit brought by Fred P. MEISTER against Thomas W. EAGAN to collect $5,000 for alleged assault. Both parties live on the Middle Road in the town of Henrietta and MEISTER claims that on October 28th last EAGAN walloped him over the head with a club.

Fearing for the safety of his children MEISTER drove the bull into his barn and locked the door. When EAGAN, searched for the animal, learned that it was locked up in MEISTER's barn, a heated argument ensued, which was brought to a close, according to MEISTER when EAGAN swung a club on his head, causing concussion of the brain.
Charles B. BECHTOLD represents the plaintiff while Henry R. HOWARD appears for EAGAN.
