suit Dent is in the central emergency
hospital, under police guard, and Dim
thoughts behind the bars at the city
prison.
Dent and Dimaline finished their
work at 1 o'clock yesterday, as do all
railroad employees during the summer
months, and between that hour and
o'clock in the evening visited numerous
cafes. They were navigating along
Page street a few minutes before Z
o'clock when Dent spied the door of
Mrs. Christian Dickens home wide
open, Is she had left it few minutes
before when she went around the cor
ner to the butcher shop. Dent ran up
the steps and into the house and Dina
line followed, to bring him out so he
said. Inside the house the men played
the piano and created a general dis
turbance. Miss Clara Roller, daughter
or MrS. Dleken Dy a FORMER marriage,
was in her room dressing when she saw
the men entes, and she called on
Charles Sims, a roomer, to put the men
out He thought that the men were
friends of the family at first, but when
Mrs. Dieken returned she denied any
former acquaintance and asked Sims to
eject them.
Sims asked the men to leave and
Dimaline showed willingness, but
Dent wanted to see Alice" Sims
threw Dent out into the street, cut
ting his scalp during the mixup. Dent
returned and began to kick in the door,
when suddenly Mrs. Dieken opened the
door and fired two shots with a re-
velver. One of the bullets entered
Dents right wrist and the other went
wild. Policeman George Nielsen and
Detective James Gallagher heard the
shots and captured Dent and Dimaline
at Oak and Octavia streets. Dent was
taken to the central emergency hospi-
tai and placed in the care of the physi-
Clans under police guard, and Dina
line was locked up in the city prison
pending the Investigations of the po-
lice Dent was too drunk to explain
anything and the police do not exactly
like the story told by Dimaline. Dina
line is said to have a family in Oakland.
