GENERAL SHOOTING NOTES.
Henke Made best Score in the Police
Revolver Practice.

Owing to many special police assign
squad was absent from the range yester-
day, but five representatives of that dis
trict appearing for practice. PatrOlman
Henke made the best score with a total of
101. Sergeant Sullivan finished second
with a score of IS.
Patrolman Shea was third with mark
of "a. and Captain Pickel and Sergeant
Walsh scored 13 and 63. respectively. Cap
tain Pickel was experimenting with new
revolver and this lowered his score con-
siderably. With his former weapon it is
thought that he can at least equal
Henke's score.

STORY TO BE REToLD IN ST. LOUIS

Evidence Same as That in Case.
Against Gutke and Others.
The story Of the city lighting bood1e
deal. as has been told at Fulton this week
in the trial Of Edward Butler, will be
heard by jury in Judge McDonaId's
court at the -Four Courts next week, with
Charles A. Gutke. Charles J. Denny,
Charles r. Kelly and Edmund Bersch az
the defendants.
Judge Mcdonald yesterday issued an or
der on the Jury Commissioner for a venire
of sixty special Jurors from which to Sc
lect twelve to try the case next Monday.
The case had been docketed for trial on
Monday of this week. but on account of
the Butler trial at Fulton It was con-
tinued by agreement until next Monday.
The States witnesses will be the same
as those who have appeared against But
Ter this week John X. and E. E. M,lr-
rell. John Helms, William NJ Tamblyn,
George F. Robertson and Otto Schu-
macher.
The only difference between this trial
and that of Butler will be in the fact that
Bersch. Denny. Gutke' and Kelly are
charged with accepting $3.50 each from
Butler for their votes on the lighting bill,
and Butler is charged with giving to
these defendants and fifteen other combine
n embers s47,50O for the nineteen votes.
Bersch. Denny, Gutke and Kelly will
be represented by Judge Krum, Thomas ].
Rowe and Leo Rassieur Circuit Attorney
Folk and his assistants. c. Orrick Bishop
and Andrew C. Maroney, will prosecute
the defendants.
