THE "HIRsHFIELD CASE.

Testimony For the Plaintiff Has Been Con-
cluded-Complaint Amended.
FARGO, N. D., Nov. 27.-Dr. Alexan-
der Moore of Helena was put on the
stand in the Hirshfield case. He had
treated Hirshfeld last year and consid-
cred him suffering from neuristhemia.
superintendent Devereaux of the Pink
erton detective agency testified to en-
ploying Anderson, the man who testi-
fed he was paid $500 and expenses to
blacken Mrs. Hirshfield's character.
Anderson was employed about three
weeks ago. Previously he had told
Devereaux what he could testify to.
Aaron Hirshfeld, the plaintiff, was
again put on the stand. Certain dia-
mond jewels were presented to him
and he was asked if he had purchased
them of a Helena jeweler for his wife.
He denied purchasing them, but paid
the bill when presented to him. He
denied that he had sent to witness An
derson any kilograms informing him Of
the amount he would pay him and
what he was to testify to. Letters in
which he attempted to bulldoze the
counsel for defense into throwing up
the case were also presented, to show
his mind was sound enough to attend
to such matters. At the conclusion
Of Hershfield's testimony plaintiff
rested the case. A motion to amend
the complaint so as to conform to the
testimony on Hershfield's mental con-
dition was allowed. The court denied
the motion of defense to strike out all
evidence relating to the chastity of de-
PENDANT as incompetent, Irrelevant and
immaterial in the light Of plaintiffs
W testimony as to ante.nuptial rela-
tions. The usual motion of defense to
dismiss the action for lack of evidence
was over-ruled.

BATTLE AT A CHURCH.

Thrilling Shooting Affair at a Mississippi
House of Worship.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. PA battle
occurred at a church near Carrollton,
Miss, Sunday between officers and a
murderer, and as a result one man is

went to Enon church, 10 miles south of
Ca=rollton, to arrest Claude Moss, who
is charged with murder at Monticello,
Drew county, Ark, and who has been
a fugitive from justice more than a
year. Moss and his companions were
standing near the church when Chat
man and Brewer approached. Moss
threw his hand to his hip pocket as if
to draw his pistol, when Chairman
grabbed his hand and Brewer also
grabbed him. Moss, being a stout and
powerful young man,
Resisted the Officers,
when both Of them pulled their pistols.
They scufled with Moss until they
reached the church door thirty feet
away, when Moss had succeeded in
w%renching Brewers pistol from his
hand, and fred it nj at Chairman, but
Brewer knocked the pistol up and
caught the bullet in his arm, inflicting
a serious wound. He then rammed
Brewers pistol into Chatman's chest
and pulled the trigger again and again,
but Brewers hand caught the hammer
and the pistol only snapped. His hand,
however, was terribly cut. By this
time chatham had freed his pistol
from Moss grasp and fred six bullets
into him, killing him almost instantly.
Intense excitement prevailed and many
women tainted.

terial falling off in the number of i'm.
migrants arriving in this country. He
estimates that since October, 1898, the
exodus of foreign steerage passengers
from the United States has been greater
than the number arriving and there
fore concludes that numerically there
are now fewer foreigners in the United
States who came as steerage passengers
than there were at the end of the fiscal
year for 1898. From the tables accom-
panying the report it appears that dur
ing the last fiscal year 2Ss, O20 immi-
grants arrived in this country.
