In Duluth. It took the form of huge

HOW EAGLES FIGHT.
4 Furious Battle Between Two Of

4 Furious Battle Between Two Of
the Big Birds.
A small party of gentlemen, most ALI
of whom had tinges of sporting procliv-
tiles in their blood, were discussing the
subject Of chicken fighting. An dR
farmer from Rappahannock county,.
Va, broke into the conversation.
"Gentlemen," said he, I'm my time I
have re some bang up chicken fights,
hut the greatest fight 1 sver saw be-
tween birds In all my born days was q
contest between a bah eagle apd al
gnay eagle near my old place tn Kappa
hammock.
This fight took place on the bank Of
tbs river. l couldn't forget 1t If l lived
to 10 - cid as Msthnselah. I was the,
ONLY spectator and saw the struggle
from start to finish. The bald eagla
had caught a n&Akrat and was about
to eat It for breakfast when the, 4ray
eagle scared dswa and attempted to,
rob the Other e IT. prey. Then
osmRasassa the ssmhsk, and, Lord,how-
the Asathss few! They fought with
wings, beahs and ta2ons, and I could
hear the tabns crack when they struck
and tore each other. The sounds made.
By their wings as they buffeted one an
other wsqP like explosions Of muskstry,,
while their screams and yells sounded
demoniacal. The battle lasted fully
fifteen minutes and wound up with a.
victory for old baldy, who drove the.
gray eagle away and then resumed his
interrupted breakfast. X
"Oh, yes, there are a great many ca
giles up In my part Of the state" said
the old agriculturist in replY to a aues-

As Senator Hanna had only n ma

than anything else.

COURTS HAVE SPOKEN.
ibid they violate a statute Of Indiana7
On this the courts have spoken with no UNI
certain voice. In the case Of the United
States against Moore. found in the nine
teenth volume of the federal reports, the
court held that Ii is not to the discredit OF
any citizen acting against vice TO use meth
DDS under the law. The use OF detectives
to ferret out wrong In public servants is
upheld and approved. In the case OF the
United States against Matthews. In the
thirty-fifth volume Of the federal reports,
IL is held that the employment OF such
means as are found in this case cannot
work harm TO honest public servants. In
the case of the United states against Stink
er, In the thirty-second federal reports,
similar decisions are found. The United
States against Dorsey, found In the forti-
eth federal reports, is another similar case.

that Ii was legitimate for the defendant.
Stahl, to use the means he did in finding
out whether Logsdon had accepted, was ac-
cepting or would accept money FOR the pro-
lection OF gambling.
''The Banks case is exactly analogous.
Banks occupied exactly the same position
that Stahl, Noel and the others occupied.
Mr.. Taggart and others wanted 20 find out
whether Wesley Bridges had ballot in his
possession. They had information that he
had a ballot the year before. They wanted
TO know whether he was guilty. The court
accepted this defense as complete
''The court did not accept IL as a COM

as defense which might or might not be
taken cognizance OF by the jury,
"As a complete defense" continued Mr..
Smith. eff IL is demonstrated that the only
object was to discover crime had been conn

The hands OF the clock had loafed around

With this Mr.. SPANS preliminary argu-
ment was concluded and Mr.. Charles W.
Smith arose to make the argument for the
defense. 1T shall argue this case" he said.
from the standpoint that We concede the
truth of every statement made favorable
to the State; excluding all statements un-
favorable to the State. in every way con-
STRUNG the evidence in favor of the State
Conceding all this the State has wholly
failed to produce any evidence which justi-
fies the binding of Mr.. Stahl over to the
grand jury. On the contrary, the evidence
absolutely forbids such action by the court
1.-The principles involved are SO simple

them" Mr.. Smith then took hold Of the
situation with the beginning of the inyesti-
CATION into the letting of sprinkling and
sweeping contracts. He said THE investi-
cation was ordered by Council on charges
brought against Mr.. Logsdon. When 1t
came TO securing an attorney Mr.. Noel re-
IL should be guaranteed that he should have
a free hand and that the Investigation
should be broad and thorough-no white
washing. The committee assented to that
proposition. Noel started with the right to

acting with the idea that he heed not stay

only reports and rumors. Why should
Stahl fear to go on the witness stand? No
man who is honest need fear that ordeal
But You must remember he is the crystal
lized effort of holy reform. Holy reform,
indeed! The whole matter is the desperate
struggle of the Indianapolis News to break
down the damage suit of Mr.. Logsdon.
Stahl lied to Gerber. Is that the conduct
of a man whose course is right and just?
''Logsdon-who is he that tongues should
wag against him? He is a man known well
in the community. Who knows aught to his
discredit? He is in politics; therefore, he
has many friends. He has many friends;
politics; therefore, he is the victim of ma

a general way, as all public men have. but
he stands to-day before the public absolute
ly above reproach. Against him Noel had
one or two purposes-to serve his employer.
the Indianapolis News, or to prostitute his
desire for notoriety. Mr.. Noel, call at
tention, was employed not as a ghoul. but
as an investigator. Logsdon had to be
loaded dice in his pocket. or Father Gavisk,
in his priestly robes, came within the circle
of his friendship. His political work de-
manded contact with all sorts of men.

when the scheme was Matched the con-
spirators consulted Noel. this man who ad-
mits he never read the statute before, never
read decision OF the courts on II, and
yet is able to construe it in five minutes
examination. But unfortunately his con-
struction wrong These men are
guilty of offering money corruptly under
the statute. AS for the Banks case. 1t SIM
ply holds that If a man Is guilty of a crime
he has a right to introduce testimony that
will show his motives. The distinction be-
tween this and the Banks case is most OBJ
vious as your honor will see. In that one
a man was melted to crime who was
known to have committed crime of similar
nature In this an innocent man was in
cited to crime without the shadow of evil
dence against him of any crime whatever
Detectives are recognized necessary in
Struments. The courts have held they
have a right to entangle one against whom
there is evidence Of crime. But they have
no right to corrupt man when they have
not a shred of evidence against him.
1--WE have shown that Brown, Noel
Hunt and Stahl conspired to corruptly offer
Logsdon money with no other evidence
than these bastard reports. They do not
deny this. Their act here was plainly an
attempt to bride a man holding a public
office Brown, Hunt and Noel are equally
guilty with Stahl They are responsible
for his acts. The State asks that this
man be bound over. You are sitting as
the examining magistrate. If you think
there is any evidence that this man is
guilty under the statute you should bind
him over"
