HEARING AGAIN
 POSTPONED Trial of Patrolman Jim Reidinger Laid Over Un- til Saturday Night-Law. yers Leave the City.
PATROLMAN'S STORY
Says Clarence Dellmon Resisted Ar. rest, Told Him He Was a Better Man Than He Was and Attemptcd te Get P0liceman's Pistol.
Ess' as.,s, .,
] ts

The police committee of the city council, which was to have met last night to investigate the charges pre- ferred against Patrolman J. M. Reid ! finger by Clarence Dellmon and o.b- CTS, postponed their meeting until Saturday night This was done be- cause Attorneys E. J. Kerwin and w. B. Sorrells wished to be absent from the city, the former going to Sherril, and the later to Memphis. Kerwin has been employed by Dellmon to pros ecute Patrolman Reidinger.
 Patrolnan Reidinger, who has hitherto not n a..e a statement rcgaId- ing the. affair, this morning stated that two employees of the Cotton Belt shops, McFalls and Butler, turned in a call at about 12 o'clock Saturday night to Patrolman Hargrove and ask ed that the crowd, of which Clarence Dellmon and Puck Darby were later found to be members, be taken into custody. 'Hargrove then came to the police office,' he continued, and ac- companied by Policeman Minor and myself went to Ninth avenue and State street, where we were told the party was. When we arrived there, we found that they had left, and on asking where they were, we were told that they had gone to Fifth avenue and Louisiana street, and further that the party was composed of Clarence Dellmon, Puck Darby, Essie Hare and Minnie Crossett.
 When we came to the corner of Fifth avenue and Louisiana street, we found the four there, drinking from 2 keg of beer. We then climbed the fence and told them they were under arrest and that they must go with us to the police station. Dellmon posi- lively refused to go in the patrol, and while he was arguing with me about it, Darby broke and ran. I told Minor and Hargrove to go after him, and that I would hold Dellmon and the two girls. I walked on out to the pa- trOl wagon and was intending to put Delmon and the two girls inside, when Dellmon stopped and using an oath, said that he was a better man than I was and that he would not get into the patrol wagon. He struggled with me, attempting to get my gun. 1 was in a position where I had to hit him to keep him from getting away, and when I did hit him, it was very light blow. I knew the reputation of the crowd I was into, and did not care to have any trouble with them. I knew I would have to use extreme measures. He was resisting arrest and I think I had right to strike him for this reason as we'll as self defense.
 AS for his being unconscious, he was not unconscious at any time on account of the blow he received. Har' grove was not 25 feet away when DellmOn was hit, and Dellmon | arose and walked towards the patro! wagon, before he reached him. He was never kicked, neither when he was in the patrol, before he was ar rested, at the police station, or at any other time. Joe Davis was not even in the party at the time of the

POLICE STOPPED
 PRIZE FIGHT
 
 Large Crowd of Lovers of the Prize Ring Saw Bouts at Longley's Park Last Night-Rank Decision
MAIN BATTLE
Neil Johnson Walloped Bud Murray With Ease-Murray Dropped to the Floor Excessively When Being Punished.


 squared circle saw Neil Johnson, a big negro pugllist, put it all over Bud Murray, another local negro nghter, last night at Longley's park. In the fourth round when the sec pnds jumped through the ropes and it looked as if there might be a mix-up, Night Chief of Police Evan Parnell, who was at the ringside with a squad of policemen went in- to~the- ring and stopped the fight. Notwithstanding the fact that the spectators, a majority of whom were white people, yelled for the fight to continue, Night Chief Parnell would not grant the request. He said that he would not encourage disorder at a prize fight and if the bouts could not be pulled off orderly, they would not be allowed at all.
 The fights last night were under the management of J. H. Stafford, the local negro barber The prelim- inaries, the first between two small negro boys, and the second for middle-weights, were interesting One of the little negroes thought he was a flying jimmy and did nothing else but whirl around after receiv- ing or giving a blow. The crowd en- joyed the bout immensely. In the second fight, two downtown porters mixed it for five rounds, when one of them fell to the floor, a bad ac- tor. He tried to fake but his work was coarse and the crowd was glad when they went away. The fight was alright while it lasted, but it's end ing was fierce.
 In the last, the main bout of the evening, Neil Johnson should have had the decision, but the referee gave the fight to Bud Murray, who did nothing but lay down on the floor every time Johnson went for him.
 Johnson proved too much for Murray in every round and it kept the referee busy making Murray stand up. Wren Johnson had Murray going to the ropes in the fourth round and it appeared that he was finishing him, John Mullen, Mur- rays second, jumped into the ring and was making some claim. Charles McGown, Johnson's second also went through the ropes to protest about Murray's Clay downs An argument in which the two fighters, seconds and referee all engaged in. prompted Night Chief Parnell to call everything off.
 Neil Johnson will fight tonight at the Elks theater He has been matched against arother negro, and a good contest is looked for. John son ought to win tonight with ease if the referee compels him to fight according to fair fighting rules. Everything was marquis of Quoens- berry last night and it appeared that none of the fighters knew what that term meant.
 Rut the crowd got it's moneys worth nevertheless and they made no kick, aside from the referees oe- cis;on in the principle exhibition.

Northern Pacific Trains Running on
New Time Table.
Change Went into effect Mon
day. Can Make Better
Time on Freight.

The Northern Pacific started
running on their new time table
last Monday and now the trains
leave this city at 2.3O p. m. in
stead of in the morning. The
change of time was made in or
der to make better time on
freight from the southern part
of the state and Illinois and also
to shorten the time of the train
crews. Trains are now running
on the following time. Leave
Iron River at 10, arriving at
Washburn at noon. Leave
Washburn 2:3O, arriving at Iron
River 4:3O. The new schedule
does not seem to meet with the
approval of the travelling public
and an effort will likely be made
to have the officials of the COM
pany change back to the old
time.

George II. Whiting, of South Dakota
Has III Acres Planted.
Owns 1000 Acres of Land at
Pixies Quarry. Will put
all i'll Fruit.

Very few people in Washburn are
aware Of the fact that a large fruit
orchard is being started within a
few miles of the city and that seven
teen and one-half acres have already
been plante to fruit.
George III. Whiting, of Yank ton,
South Dakota, who owns thousand
acres of land on Blueberry hill just
back of Pixies Quarry has become
convinced Ct the possibilities Of Bay
field county as fruit raising section
and has already become engaged in
the business on a large scale. In
time Mr.. Whiting expects to have
one of the largest fruit farms in the
country and will put the entire
tract of land in fruit. During the
past year Mr.. Carver, manager If
the farm for Mr.. Whiting, has set
out $50 apple and plum trees ana
out of this amount has only lost
thirty trees or about four per cent,
which is considered an excellart
showing for the country. Other
trees will be set out as rapidly as
the land can be cleared.
Mr.. Writings farm is located On
the south side of the hill, the land
being very rough and stoLy and the
soil is sandy oam which is con-
sidered about the best for growing
fruit trees. All that is being done
to the land before the trees are set
out is the brushing and clearing, no
breaking of ground being Done.
Mr.. Whiting says that everything
seems to indicate that large list Of
apples and crabs, American plums,
hardy cherries, etc. will all do well
here and make money for the grow
err either on a small or large scale,
and also hardy pears and peaches
| might be grown. He will give all a
trial on the land. He has been in
the fruit raising business for num-
Der of years 10 South Dakota, being
owner. of the Esmond, Yankton
Eve rygreen nurseries.

for the occurrences at Vancouver
and take steps TO prevent further
trouble.

ports concerning the conditions in
Korea and the attitude and sentiment
of the Japanese. The foreign office
is not disturbed by the Vancouver
affair and quite confident that every
thing will be done to protect Japan"
