WEDNESDAYS PROCEEDINGS.

NEDN EoDA1 ThOCEEDlNGS,
Court convened at O'Clock and re-
sumed the examination of witnesses in
the case.
j. g. Mincemoyer was recalled and
asked to describe condition of revol-
yer which he got from Dietrich 1t was
tive-shooter. All the chambers were
full, but two Of the cartridges had
been exploded. In this condition 1T
was offered in evidence at first trial
but after the trial 1t was found that
while the chambers were still all fill
ed the revolver showed that only one
had been exploded. This discovery was
made when the revolver was taken to
the water works in compliance with
orders to remove the charges. The offic-
er could not say when or by whom
cartridges were changed.
John Vol was recalled He denied
that as far as his knowledge went
there was any dispute between Jones
and Dietrich as to book account.
Andrew Rogers also recalled He
was asked whether on the night of the
shooting he did not state to DR.. Pat
ten that the revolver found behind the
bar was not loaded, having been empti-
ed the week before in shooting mark:
He stated that he did not make such
remark Mr.. keller objected to this
question, advancing the same argu
ment as on the day previous. The OBJ
lection was overruled.
Lewis Byerly was sworn. He was
with the chief of police when the ar
rest of Dietrich was made and his
testimony confirmed the evidence of
the officer.
John Doster was called. He was pres
ent at Dietrich's saloon on the night
of February 18th. He accompanied DR..
Paules to the saloon after the shoot
ing. He confirmed the previous testi-
mony as to Dietrichs state of mind
and his declarations at the time OF ar
rest.
Dr. Patten was sworn and confirmed
previous testimony.
DR.. W. r. Paules was called to the
stand. He was the witness called to
the saloon after the shooting. He made
a post mortem examination the next
morning and on the stand described
the course of the bullet. A section of
the skull was produced in court, which
still contains the bullet DR.. Paules
described the wound produced by the
shot, which caused heavy hemor-
rhage. The effect was necessarily fatal
and death was instantaneous. The
physician confirmed the testimony Of
Chief Mincemoyer and John Doster
aud stated that it was his impression
that Dietrich said Il shot and killed
him in self defense Take me-hang
me or do with me what you please.
Dr. Paules swore that after Chief
Mincemoyer examined the revolver
produced by Dietrich as the one with
which he did the shooting, the officer
handed the weapon to the doctor and
told him to look at it. There were
three full chambers and two empty
shells. He previously saw another re-
volver, which he examined and found
to be empty.
Later accompanied by DR.. Patton in
compliance with a request from Diet
rich's sister DR.. Paules, after mid
night, visited the prison for the pur-
pose of administering to Dietrich, who
was in highly wrought condition. He
would not admit that Dietrich was
wholly irrational, although he was
very nervous. Dietrich made inquiries
about Jones and was told that the man
was dead. Dietrich, said, Where did

ARE EXCITED
Fisher People Wrought Up
Two Burglaries Already
This Week.

The residents and authorities of the
little village of Fisher, located between
this city and Crookston, are very much
wrought up over the frequency of rob-
berries in that place. The Great
Northern railway seems to be the
heaviest loser, and twice within the
last week the depot has been broken
into at night time and the cash drawer
rifled. There was not much in the
cash box either time. but about $40 in
all was secured. The capture of the
suspects Of the Mentor bank robbery
at that place yesterday afternoon add
ed fresh fuel to the excitement and
there is talk of putting on more police
during the harvest season to keep tab
on the many crooks who migrate to
that section.
Later-3:3O p. ma message from
CrOOkston notes that two boys were
arrested at Fisher this morning and
brought to Crookston today charged
with the robberies They plead guilty
this afternoon and sentences were sus-
pended until tomorrow.

Housewives HUNCH
FOR SUNDAYS
DINNER
Fruit Prices Vary Some From
a Week Ago Scarcity in
Some Lines.

With the cessation of the hot
weather people are going back to a
meat diet but the fruit and vegetable
market remains firm nevertheless. In
the prices there have been a few
changes from last week but as whole
they have remained the same. Lemons
have advanced about $500 case and
are retailing at As cents a dozen, this
being more than the large naval
oranges which are bringing but IS
cents a dozen.
California free stone peaches are
now retailing at $1.OO case, this
price being about the same as last
week.
The pear market is the one to be
watched with apprehension by the
housewife. 1t is rumored that the
price of $1.75 case now being asked
for them will last about as long as
balloon in cyclone.
Blueberries and raspberries are
practically out of the market. 1t is
almost two weeks since the grocery
clerk has seen sign of raspberry
while the latter has been clear the
last week. Blueberries at the time
of the exodus were bringing about
$1.35 case.
Plums have come down little and
the large varieties now bring $3.50 a
case in the retail market.
Reports are to the effect that there
Is shortage in the melon crop this
year but this seems to have no eff
feet on the market. Large Juicy
watermelons are selling at from 25
to 40 cents piece according to size
and quality. Muskmelons are off the
market this week.
Apples are coming in larger
quantities this year and there are some
beautiful shipments among the lots.
These best ones bring $3.50 a box
The Duchess, Maiden Blush, Wealthy,
and Greetings are the best liked
varieties in this vicinity.
Bananas still stick at the Is cent
dozen mark although some dealers
in the city are retailing them at 10
cents.
Oranges bring IS cents a dozen
that is the naval variety.
In vegetable market everything is
home grown stuff-even the tomatoes
are beginning to come in from the
country. These home grown tomatoes
bring rs cents a basket. Sweet corn is
selling at 10 cents a dozen.
Nice large green slicing cucumbers
can be bought for less than half their
former price or about IS cents a peck.
Rutabagas bring the same price.
Potatoes are down a little again
now retailing at 65 cents a bushel.
A short while ago potatoes were SELL
ing for about $1.00 per bushel.
Celery Is 5 cents a stock or so

NEW CURTAIN
A 500 "Drop" for the Met
ropolitan Coming From
Philadelphia.

Manager Gus Meyers of the Metro
politan opera house in this city stated
this afternoon that he had just sent
of for new act drop-one of the
large curtains which hangs in front
of the stage, and that he expected the
new one to arrive within few days,
at least before the opening Of the
1906-'07 theatrical season. The cur
tain is large one-about thirty feet
square-and will cost in the neighbor-
hood of 500. 1t will be purchased
from the Imperial Curtain company of
Philadelphia, and the old one returned
to the Lee Lash studio in New York,
this being the firm that furnished it.
For the past week or two workmen
have been busy giving the Metropoli-
tan its annual house cleaning and
Manager Myers states that his scrub
bling bill alone amounts to over $50
so the thoroughness of the overhaul
ing may be surmised. This year the
management is directing it's chief en-
deavors to making the ladies' retiring
room as comfortable as possible. New
coat hangers are also being installed.
Every piece of scenery on the stage is
being overhauled, frightened and re-
juvenated and new curtains are being
put up over the windows.

Other Cases.

s. L. Johnson, who has been en-
ployed as driver for the Benner, Begg
& Garvin stores and is we'll known in
this city, is critically i'll at the family
home on North Fourth street suffering
from blood poisoning. Mr.. Johnson
some time ago scratched his hand with
nail, the injury not being considered
serious at the time. Blood poisoning
developed later and the chances for
his recovery are now considered very
small.
H. Johnson, not related to the first
mentioned sufferer, who is an employee
of Vic Chaffee in his ice business, is
suffering from similar complaint, he
having slightly injured his hand some
time ago and is now in bad condi-
ton. "a
Numerous cases of blood poisoning
have been reported in the city of late

The above letter received by Fin
layson & Massee, attorneys in the fam
GUS election contest case and appar-
emily the long drawn out contest is
to have another airing in court.
Attorney Bronson, who represents
the plaintiff in the action, was seen
by The Evening Times representative
and corroborated the report that the
case is to be resurrected. He stated
that Mr.. Bell, in his written statement
to the court, stated that he had signed
the stipulation Diminishing the case un-
der the impression that if it were con-
tinued he would lose considerable
property in addition to the costs then
charged against him, amounting to
about $500 and for this reason he
acted as he did in the matter. BY the
indemnity bond just filed with the
court and signed by Charles Keller
and John Vosler of this city as sure
ties, Mr.. Bell is protected against fur
Their costs in the case.
Attorneys Finlayson & Massee re-
ceived the communication from the
court this morning and had not heard
Of the filing of the bond and the new
phases in the case when an Evening
Times man informed them of the re-
port. Their morning mail, however,
cOrrObOrated the same in the above
letter.
The history of the case has been
published frequently. Citizens of this
city are familiar with it and it has
been before the public since the cleo
ton of last November until it was dis
missed this spring by stipulation of
the parties interested, Mr. Bell at the
time being released from the costs
charged against him in the case. he
being loser in the decision of the
supreme court.
The grounds upon which the court
opens up the case again are, it is
stated, that the previous dismissal was
erroneous in the fact that the case
involved public interests. This was
the contention filed in the application
just granted by the court.
Whether the case will be tried in
the name of Bell or Borches. the sue
cessful alderman in the election con-
test is not known but as this is a
resurrection of the previous case, Mr..
Bell will probably appear in the action
again.

ippine Islands.

Charles Moller of Red Lake Falls
and Harry Smith of Michigan City,
N. D., were the only ones to answer
the call for applicants for the United
States Philippine service. They took
the examination yesterday afternoon
at the local postofice. The examina-
ton was for teachers in the Philip
pines, with transportation furnished
and from $1,000 to $1,400 a year to
start and good chance for raise.
The government has positions to fill
and is anxious to fill them. This ex-

and it was hoped that there would be
numerous applicants. With COMPETE
ton so light the applicants can expect
an easy time. The places to be filled
are what are technically called as
sistant teachers positions.
