The two men had disagreement over a
trivial matter day or two ago, and West
apparently thought trouble probable. for
he avoided Merch when they met in the
Prescott hotel dining room at supper
time tonight. About 10 o'clock they met
again in the Office of the Dacotah, ano
conversed in undertones. Mutual friends
stood within few feet Of them, but no
one suspected that violence was likely.
Suddenly Merch,who is a powerful man.,
struck West twice, badly bruising his
face. West stepped back, drew a revolver
and fred. Merch said: "Shoot again, I'll

Mr.. George G. Wright, the st. Paul
real estate man for whom West was en-
ployed, when informed of the shooting
last evening by h 6 o e, said:
"I feel quite sure that when the facts
are known it will appear that Mr.. West
was not the aggresser. He is thorough
gentleman, quiet, peaceable, and given
to minding his own business. He comes
from a fine family, and I hold him In
high regard. He has been with me since
last spring, and 1 have found him re-
liable and trustworthy, and very much
of a man." Mr.. West is an unmarried
man, about t1irty-five years of age, and
came from Iowa.
Frank March is we'll known here, hav-
ing been an umpire in the Western league
at different times, and at one time a
professional ball pitcher, playing with
the Minneapolis club. While popular,
Merch has always been known as man
of fiery temper, rather inclined to get In
trouble AS an umpire he was always
known as autocratic on the field. For
several years past he has represented the
North Star Boot and Shoe company, of
Minneapolis, in Northern Minnesota and
North Dakota.

DULUTH, Mimi, Nov. 90-The second
trial of Bert Brooker, on the charge Of
manslau ghter for killing Archie Goodman
at Tower, Sept. 19. came to an end late
this afternoon, when jury in Judge
Ensign's court, after being out less than
ten minutes, returned verdict of not
guilty.
The evidence In the case was that
Goodman, while drunk, attacked Brook
er in the Tower saloon, where the lat
ter was bartender The attack was due
to a wrist-turning contest, in which
Goodman was worsted. Goodman went
behind the bar and grabbed Brooker by
the throat and struck at him. Brooker
pushed him away and hit him on the
temple, knocking him down. Ten min
utes later Goodman was dead, either
from the effects of the blow or the fall.
The first trial resulted in disagreement.
In his charge today, Judge Ensign said
that it was not a criminal act to repei
force by force, even If death resulted,
unless the resistance was aggravated
and cruel.
