ANDERS0N'S ACQUlTTAL
Jury Disbelieves the Evidence of a
Detective Against the Accused
Bank Clerk.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Nov 8.-A spe-
ciaI to the Times from Winnipeg, Mani
toba, says: After being eight days on
trial the case against John w. Anderson
for the theft of $62 600 from Nelson
Bank In 1887 went TO the jury at 1l;25 TINS
morning Judge Balm addressed the jury
an hour and a quarter, going over every
detail in the case, and referring to the
character of Detective DAVIS, VINO, II IS
said, was not professional detective, but
a private individual operating for re-
dence was sufficiently corroborated 20
satisfy the jury.
The jury returned in an hour and half
with a verdict of not guilty, and the spec
tators Cheered again and again in spite
of the efforts of the Sheriff and his OIh-
GERS to restore order The prisoner s
friends crowded around the box to shake
his hand, and he had triumphant march
out of the courthouse, with more cheer
ing.
4 remarkable scene in a Canadian
courthouse and a notable thing was the
presence of a large number of ladies'
Anderson was greeted with applause when
he appeared on the streets, and in the
evening a procession was formed and
marched to the Robin House, where a
banquet and reception was held. Ander-
sons mother, brothers and employer since
he left the bank, J. w. DriscOll, shared in
the congratulations TO Anderson. 1t is
reported that AndersOn'S friends will en-
ter suit against Davis for damages.
Young Anderson was employed by the
bank months after the robbery and was
not arrested until about six months ago,
after the stolen treasure had been dug up
in the outskirts of Winnipeg. The ca
against him was worked up by a Chicago
detective named Davis.

LAST MONTH
OF LEAGUE
BASEBALL
Series of Games Between
Champions and Eastern
League Players.

The league race is practically ended
and the Statesmen Of Sacramento are on
top. For three months no other team in
the league has occupied first place, al
though San Francisco was within striking
distance all of the time. 1t is all over
now, and the Senators will be elected to
meet the California team, made up of
Eastern league players.
Since the regeneration Of the oakland
team two months ago that aggregation Of
ball tossers has exhibited itself in VIC
torious light. At that time they were
tailenders with q vengeance, but game
after game advanced them peg by pes
until there was tie in percentage be
tween Oakland and Santa Cruz. A week
ago last Saturday the Oakland nine be
came sullen and surrendered match to
Sacramento, and the very next day lost
the second game. This resulted in cllnch-
ing the championship for Sacramento and
dropping Oakland into the fourth place.
San Francisco will end the season in
second place but the third may be oc-
cupied either by Oakland or Santa Cruz.
Both these teams are hot in the race 70
escape the tail end degradation and will
fight hard to secure even the third posi-
ton in the column.
Oakland and Santa Cruz will play in
this city on Saturday and Sunday, San
Francisco meeting Sacramento at SaCra-
mento. As the fight is now paired be
tween these two sets of teams, there
should be some close baseball
The standing of the teams at present is:
