BRICK MASON
CHENS OPPO-
NENT'S EAR OFF
Man Who Committed Assault is Ar
rested on Charge of
Mayhem.

Wild with anger one brick mason
chewed anothers ear off early yes
terday morning. The two men were
standing on tho northeast corner of
Aultman and Murray street when the
trouble occurred.
The details of the affair are very
meagre. From what the officers
learned the two men had been work
ing at Ely City They went to Ely
to spend the night and while stand
ing on the corner mentioned got in
to an alteration. One word led to
another and suddenly one of the ma
sons grabbed the other by the ear
He sunk his teeth into the top of the
ear and although the other man cried
with pain the brick mason held on
until he bit off a large piece of the
ear.
Constable Gilbert placed the man
who did the biting in jail. A doctor
was summoned but by the time he
arrived the flesh had become too colo
and it was impossible to put back
the piece that was bitten off. The in
jured man will therefore be minu!
piece of his hearing appendage.
The names of the men had no
been ascertained at this writing. Tit
man accused of having done thu
damage to his adversarys ear vii
be brought before Justice Cartwright
today and charged with mayhem
If the evidence in the case warrant
1t Justice Cartwright will bind tn
prisoner over to answer before Judg
brown at the next criminal session
af the district court.

Two COMPANIES
CLAIM The SAME
MINING LAND

1t is possible that two big mining
companies will be the parties to q
suit over the title to seven acres In
the center of the Ruth group OF
mines. The Alaska Copper company
a new company, claims the property
which the Nevada Consolidated as.
serts ownership Of. The organizers
of the new company are said to have
subscribed a large portion of the
capital stock.
The land was located on December
II 1906, by w. ]. Stewart and James
Cameron. Stewart purchased Cana
eron's interest and later Lee Clock
ner bought Stewards title for $685.
900. Glockner then proceeded with
forming the company and one of the
parties interested was Fl. A. Ship
man of Denver.
Thus the valuable strip of mining
land is claimed by two companies
and those interested in the mine are
watching for results. They state
that there is no doubt but that suit
will soon be started.

1T is expected that the negotiations
will result In an agreement between
the government OF Japan and that
of the United States, for withhold
ing by the former of passports to
Japanese of the laboring classes
seeking to enter the United States.
For several years past the Japanese
government has declined to issue any
such passports, but the intention is
to make this a matter of formal
agreement II possible. In the short
time remaining Of the present SEES
sion OF congress it is not possible,

nature Of treaty which would re-

fact, It is by no means certain that q

the United States to coolies, so IT
may be decided to give this agree

This is Harry *. Thaw's own story Of
the killing Of Stanford White. II was
told BY him to Dr. B. D. Evans, the
alienist, last August in the Tombs, To-
day Dr.. Evans repeated the prisoners
words TO the jury, which is trying Thaw
for his life.
District Attorney Jerome fought hard.
last week against the introduction Of
this evidence, which the defense be-
lieves IS conclusive proof that Thaw did
mot know his act was wrong. Once the
stestifying physicians had declared that
in their opinion Thaw was insane at the
time he made statements to them, how
ever, the rules Of evidence permitted
| the Introduction of the prisoners words,
In further bulwarking their contention
that ThaW was insane when he killed
| White, defendants counsel succeeded
today in placing before the jury the will
executed BY Thaw the night Of his mar
rage in April, 1905, and the codicil to
the will executed at the same time.
Again Jerome fought the evidence,
but he significantly Withdrew his objec-
items after Dr.. Evans had given it as
his expert opinion that Thaw was in
sane at the time he executed the will,
the fact that the district attorney seems
disposed to let in testimony Of every
character provided there is a prelin-
mary opinion from witness that the
man was of l1nsound mind at the time
to which the testimony refers, was
taken today as further indicating that
jerome may at the psychological mo-
nlent, if he deems his hand strong
enough demand the appointment Of a
commission to pass upon Thaw's state
of mind at the present moment Fl
The will and codicil, as read to the
Jurors today, were offered in evidence
as cumulative testimony Of ThaW's men
tai unsoundness prior to the killing Of
White. In his will Thaw provided that
his executors should set apart the sum
of $50, 900 for investigation Of his death
in case Of his violent or suspicious end,
and for the prosecution Of persons sus-

pected Of having had a hand in his
taking off. In the codicil ThaW left to
a lawyer in Pittsburg the sum Of 81, 500
to be used in securing legal redress
from Stanford White and one other
person, whose name was not allowed.
to be read for the benefit Of four young
women, who Thaw declared, had been
victims of degrading assaults" in the.
house furnished and used for orgies BY
stanford White and other ilhuman
5seoundrels. =
The names of four young women
were mentioned by Thaw, but were not
made public. Thaw also bequeathed
sums Of $500 each to DR.. Chas. If.
Parkhurst, Anthony Comstock and a
lawyer named His codicil to be used
in discovering further alleged misdeeds
!. BY Stanford White, and securing redress
for the women. M.
Two other physicians will take the
istand tomorrow, Drs. Hammond and

during the period OF his confinement,

which caused the mental explosion was
removed with the putting away of Stan

that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw might go on
