twining vines hung at the doorways,
while dainty dishes decked the little
tables from which were served the tea.

selections on the banjo by c. Cook, reci-

MERRILL WAS FOUND GUILTY.
JUDGE DAVIS WILL SENTENCE
HIM TO-DAY.
Ehe Beating OF Young Armstrong
Denounced by the City
Attorney.

Arguments in the case of W. Fl. Mer-
I'LL, the Capitol Park policeman,
charged with having battered R. E.
Armstrong, was heard in the Police
Court yesterday afternoon, after which
Justice Davis declared Merrill guilty as
charged.
City Attorney Brown stated that the
case was one which needed no argu-
ment to secure a conviction. The evil
oence was clear, to the point, and had
never been denied, and the defendant
ne said, was lucky to get off without
more serious charge being made.
There was, he contended, no justifca-
uon IN the. matter, even if Merrill had
been an officer
The City Attorney said the defend
ant was an oi3 nan. and that he felt
great respect 1ar age but the mere
suspicion that young ARMSTRONG might
do wrong was no provocation, and GER
tainly no excuse for the assault which
had been made.
Judge E. A. Bridgeford moved that
the defendant be dismissed on the
ground that the complaint was INSULT
cient, but the motion was denied. He
then argued that the assault was jus
fable, for the reason that Merrill act
ually believed Armstrong and Feather
stone We're with the wheelmen he had
already elected from the park.
E. D. AIcCabe, also counsel for the de-
fendant, contended that an officer is
justified in using force in making an
arrest. He presented a sign taken
from the Capitol Park which he as
serted had been mutilated by wheel
men, and stated that every similar sign
had been mutiated. He felt confident
that Merrill had been a Jealous officer,
and thought his efforts ought to be ap-
preciated
City Attorney Brown in closing said
he was narrow minded enough to be
lieve that even Governor Budd's father
in-law ought to be treated as any other
citizen. He contended that there were
no mitigating circumstances whatever,
and said that had it been he instead Of
Armstrong whom Merrill attacked, the
attack would have been mutual, and had
Merrill drawn his gun and attempted
to us it, the attempt would have been
also mutual He emphasized his state
ment that the assault was an outrage
and again asserted that because Mer-
rill was related to the Governor was
no reason why he should be allowed to
violate the laws.
Justice Davis, after declaring the de-
fendant guilty, announced that SEN
tence would be passed at IL o'clock this
morning. Notice was given that mo-
tfon for new trial viii be made.

The Actors Fund of Germany

A large gathering OF members of the
profession from all over Germany met
recently at Weimar to celebrate the
twenty-flfth anniversary of the Actors
fund of Germany. There was ban
quet in the afternoon, at which Pres,-
dent Hermann Nissen presided. over
one hundred and fifty guests were pres
ent. In the evening the real celebration
occurred at the historical theater in the
presence of the grand duke of Sake
Weimar, his wife, and the entire court.
A prologue by Ernst Won Wiidenbruch
was read by DR.. Max Pohe, after which
President Nissen in a few words sketched
the history of the fund, which, it appears
was talked of as far back as the year
177S. but which only took shape after the
union of Prussia and Germany in 1870
Then it was that Ludwig Barnay gave 1t
the first real start. The fund has now
a capital OF four and quarter mil
lion marks ($190,000). In the last rs
years over two million marks have been
paid in salaries and pensions. When ar
actor or actress member of the organiza-
tion reaches the age of 61 years he or she
is paid salary of 1900 marks, whether
acting or not. If not acting, the ''in-
valld's salary" Is added to this. After
this, other speeches were made and con-
gratulatory kilograms read, among
them one from Friedrich Haase, enclos-
ing 5000 marks, also letter from the
grand duke of Mecklenburg-S Schwerin,
in which decorations were bestowed or
President Nssen, Bsrnay, Werner, and
Possart. and from the prince regent of
Bavaria who also bestowed decoration
Intendant Possart handed in 200 marks,
a gift from the Royal theater in Munich.

News Picked Up Around the Local

Situation.

President ]. ]. Hill, of the Great
Northern road, is home from New York,
having arrived just before noon yes
terday over the Milwaukee. He was
driven Immediately to his home, and
spent but a short time at his office.
Seen last night at his home, he de-
clined to discuss the railroad situation
in the East.
The gGssips had 1t that Mr.. Hill had
been accompanied West by Daniel La
mont, but this is erroneous During
his absence in the East the press dis
patches contained news of Mr.. Hill 5
having raised his voice against the
duty now imposed upon floor nlattings
imported from China and Japan. Being
asked regarding this, Mr.. Hill said that
a duty Of something like cents was
being imposed upon this mating which
cost cents, and that the result of
such a disproportionate impost would
be to shut off much of the import of
this stuff, and the export of agricul-
tural products and especially wheat
would be visibly decreased for the rea-
son that the vessels in which wheat
was sent away could hardly make the
trips prolitably, if forced to return from
the far East light. AS showing the
Importance of the matter Mr. Hill cited
the fact that a recent -four order re-
ceived in this country called for many
thousand bushels of wheat. A letter
from the Great Northern president to
congress has borne fruit, as the senate
has already voted to place this mat
ting on the free list.

Judge Holds That the State Had Nc
Authority in Davis Case.

MOORHEAD, Mimi, June 23.-The
case Of the state VS.. E. w. Davis, the
Detroit commission merchant, was TAX
en- away from the jury late yesterday
afternoon by Judge Baxter and decided
in favor Of the defendant.
The state had proved that the game
was in Davis possession and the de-
Tense placed witnesses on the stand
of the Indian trader who had pur-
attorneys for the defense then raised
the point that the game did not come
under the jurisdiction of the game laws
of the state. On the express grounds
that the game had been purchased
from Indians upon the White Earth
reservation the judge held that it was,
therefore, subject to transfer and sale
and not subject to the laws of Mime
sofa.
This ruling disregards the decision
o. the supreme court of the United
States in the case of Ward VS.. Race
horse, leo United States. which was
cited by counsel. In this case the SUI
preme court held that the treaty with
the Bannock Indians, giving them the
right to hunt on the vacant lands Of
the United States, was abrogated by
the admission of the territory into the
union as state and that thereafter
the power of the state to regulate the
killing of game within the state was
supreme.
There are three other indictments
against Davis, which were continued to
the November term Of court.
