mirers in the pit. The performance will con-
clude with to-night's race the result of
which hangs in small doubt. Either Miss
Anderson or Miss CLAW will get first place.
A scene was created during the evening by
recently obtained police powers, to be ex-
ercised in and about Tomlinson Hail. A
man connected with the bicycle race went
up just few minutes before the finish of
last nights racing and stood on the bridge
leading from the balcony down into the pit.
The ''lawyer-policeman ordered him down.
He explained who he was and that he had
business reasons for desiring to see the fin
ish. Coleman went away for a minute.
When he returned he ordered the spectator
to get out. The spectator declined to move.
Without word the officious policeman
grabbed the spectator by the lapel of the
coat and struck him on the head with
mace. Two regular patrolmen, who knew
the assaulted person, interfered and pre-
vented the spectator from whipping the
cowardly special policeman. The affair Gre
ated a great deal of excitement. A number
of people volunteered to testify against the
officer before the Board of Safety.

EngIish-Dickson & Talbot Suits.

The five consolidated suits for rent
brought by w. E. English against Dickson
& Talbot, former lessees of English's Opera
House, went to trial yesterday afternoon
before Judge McMaster in Room 1, Superior
Court.
The first suit was brought in August, 1896.
The controversy was, caused by difference
of opinion as to the terms of the lease.
Dickson & Talbot contend that in March,
1897. Mr.. English agreed to give them an
other lease for three years, but, instead,
leased his theater to other persons after
the defendants had booked attractions for
the season following. Dickson &z Talbot
claim they were justified in deducting from
the rent an amount sufficient to make good
their loss.

OTTO C. DICKMAN DEAD.
A Professional Acrobat, who Had Ac-
qutred Wealth.

Otto C. Dickman died at the Central Hos
pital for the Insane yesterday of apoplexy.
He was brought from a sanatorium at OK
ford, o., last Friday and on Sunday suffered
a stroke of apoplexy, from which he never
recovered.
Mr.. Diclxman was theatrical man. He
and his twin brother, Edward c. Dickman,
were known as the Durell Brothers. They
did gymnastic and acrobatic turns. They
began their career at the old Metropolitan
Theater as amateurs and accepted their
first professional engagement at the Grand
Opera House in performance put on by
Lipman & Goodrich. The team proved
popular one and made tour after tour of the
United States and trips to foreign lands.
The career of the two brothers was success
full from financial standpoint. During late
years they spent considerable time west of
the Rockies While there they invested
their savings in real estate and mining
stocks and amaSsed comfortable sum.
They had holdings of real estate in Seattle
and Portland when the depression in that
part of the West came about eight years
ago. They were able to hold on, however,
and the gold strike in Alaska encouraged
them.
Otto c. Dickman and his brother left the
road as professionals two years ago. The
former had trouble with his eyes and made
trip to Germany in search of benefit. He
returned home last February, broken phys
ically and mentally, and was taken to OK
ford. The brother was then in the Alaskan
gold fields. He returned home last June
and since then has devoted himself to his
brothers welfare. Otto G. Dickman was
born in this city March 3, 1859 He was the
son of frederick G. Dickman, who died
three weeks ago. The elder Dickman was
pioneer in the city. He was a building con-
tractor and erected many of the most sub
stantial of the buildings in the wholesale
district. He also built the Grand Hotel.
He left a fortune. The members of the
Dickman family now left are Edward G.
and his mother They live at lbs North
East street. From the family residence the
