The Case OF Joseph Probst Is on
Trial.

The Case OF Joseph Probst Is on
Trial.
The case of The State against Joseph
Probst, indicted for assaulting Harry
l.. Hathaway with knife, was on trial
yesterday in the district court. and
number of witnesses were examined.
The defendat claimed that the stabbing
was done In self-defense, Hathaway
having struck him with his fist. When
asked why he drew knife on Mr..
Hathaway, he replied that he was In a
nervous condition and did not know
what he was doing. Miss Augusta
also testified that Hathaway had pro-
voked the assault, and that Probst did
-uot use the knife until after Hathaway
had struck him. The case will proba-
bly, go to the jury some time today.
There is some question as to whether
or not Charles Schalin, who is awaiting
hearing on charge of assault. is
mentally capable of conducting de-
fense, AN affidavit having been presented
by j. V. Perkins, of Cottage Grove,
stating that he did not believe the de-
fendant sound mentally. Several ply
sicians interviewed Schalin yesterday,
and he will probably have hearing as
to his sanity at the close of the PrObst
trial. Schalin is lad not more than
seventeen years of age, and is charged
with striking Hans JurgensOn on the
head with hBmmer.
Capt. McCluer, of Company H, has
received no notice of when the inspec-
ton will be held, but it Will probably
not occur until after all the other com-
panies in the three regiments are in
spected.

HOW He Held On Before.

II am afraid Sturtevant will succeed
in holding on yet" said clerk who has
known him for years. Eight years ago
his resignation was called for, and he
plugged so industriouslY that it was
never accepted. He had one friend go
to the president and tell him that he had
been considered SO religble i'll the past
that the secretaries had selected him
for positions eff great responsibility. He
had been sent to Europe with bonds,
and to New York and the West with
greenbacks. He did not have the presi-
dent understand that there were nun
dred others just as honest, and just as
reliable who desired to make that trip
to Europe, but his methods of working
it were too much for them"
Perhaps Hon. Carl Schurz learned a
few facts about MIR. Sturtevant beyond
the fact that he had not voted for thirty
years, when he called upon Secretary
Carlisle. The fact that he has been
quiet regarding the case since, and that
Sturtevant's resignation has been ac-
cepted, would seem to indicate some
thing of this kind But whether he did
or not, the plain, common people of the
country will be very apt to think that
there is nothing in the doctrine that
a man should be given life lease on all
office that pays $500 per year. The
position is not under the civil service
rule, and "reddy" Roosevelt has no
more business to interfere in this mat
ter than he has to claim that the senate
OF the United States allow the civil
service commission to select its secre-
tary. After this exhibition the mug
wumps will have no one to blame save
themselves when the people of the
country set them down as harmless
