THE MINOT ROW

The Reporter gives the following &C.
count of the trouble at Minot last week:
Minot was exceedingly ''warm" last night
and to do credit to all that transpired
would probably Gil the columns of ouI
paper. One trouble came about the ar.
rest of a notorious character, named
"Grace," who was brought up before
Judge Murray yesterday afternoon. She
asked for a p~ostponement of her case
until today at 2 O'Clock which was grant
ed. Jones was delegated to guard her to
the house, when a general row was started
presumably to get q chance to do him,
and from appearances it was previously
~planned-the intention being, it is. under
stood. to do up Acting Chief of Police
Roy Peirce, who had made the arrest,
and for whom Jones was mistaken. Jones
took a hand in it to quell the disturb
ance, and in his efforts to arrest the
cOwardly leaders was struck ON tho back
of the head with, the head-end of a coupling
pin by n of tho thugs, Jones however,
stood to his duty aud fought bravely
against odds, but was overpowered py
superior numbers, and vas Rocked down,
kicked. pounded and otherwise bruised
up. By this time help began to arrive, one
of the thugs was captured and two others
escaping. Jones was taken to the hospital
where his wounds were dressed, By Dr..
Crokat, and is resting easy.
While the above events were trans.
piring, the south end of Main Street WAS
the scene of q tradgey. which resulted
in the death of Louis Hoffman, at the
hands of Agent O'Brien o. the Great
Northern. Hoffman, was a prisoner in
the county Jail, but requested the sheriff
to take him to his home to get a chance
of clothes. The story Is told by the
family Of the unfortunate man, Ia as fol-
lows: O'Brien had accompanied Mira.
Hoffman. and Mrs. Thomas Jones home
and they we're all sitting in a little room,
of the ball when Hoffman raped at
the screen door of the hall entrance.
Mrs. Hoffman vent to open it for him,
when he used some rough language to
her. She ran without opening the door,
and Hoffman pushed his hand through
tee screen netting, unlocked the door
and gave shase. Both women then ran
out doors followed by Hoffman who
Loaf than and went hack into thu houea
and had hot words with O'Brien. The
sheriff then came in and took Hoffman in
to the front room, aud O'Brlen vent out
the back way. In f. short time hs came
back into the kitchen ind Hoffman, rushed
out the front door and attacked him
O'Brien broke away and shot him in the
leg; from which he bled to death in about
three hoars.
