DRlSC0LL PLACED
UNDER $500 BOND
PARTICIPANT IN CUTTING ARRAY nAS
PRELIMINARY HEARING AND Is
BOUND OVER FOR TRIAL
E. L. Driscoll, charged with as


<sault with deadly weapon, had
his preliminary hearing before JUS
tice Winther at Ray last week and
was bound over to the district
court under $4,000 bond. The
criminal charge is the result of an
encounter between Driscoll and
William A. Pierce, in which the
defendant is alleged to have used
a knife on his victim, inhicting
wounds from the effect OF which
Pierce is still confined in the hos
pital at Ray in q weak condition.
TIE affair occurred in front of
Padden's bowling alley at Ray on
October 2nd and was the culmina-
tion of long bad feeling between
the parties. Both parties are said
to have been drinking freely and
upon meeting, the old trouble was
renewed, ending in the serious in
jury of one and a prospect of pris-
on for the other.
The preliminary hearing con-
sdmed nearly the whole OF two
davs last week, starting Thursday
and continuing over to Friday.
The state placed upon the stand
but two witnesses at this time.
Pierce, the complaining witness
swore that at the time of the diff
Guilty he was standing in front of
the bowling alley and the defend
ant came along. II said. 'helloP
and he said, 'hellol'. I said there
is quite crowd in there tonight
and be yes. I then asked him if
he was still connected with the
place and he told me it was none
of my damn business and said,
"What you need is punch in the
nose" He gave me q punch in
the nose and then l took of my
coat aad went out in the middle of
the street. He came out after me
and started cutting me with his
knife" The witness admitted that
at the time he had been drinking.
DR.. Scott, of Ray, was then placed
ION the stand and testified as to the
nature of the wounds. There were
two wounds described by the wit
ness, one in the left side, six in
ches in length and extending in
depth through the skin to the rib
surface, and the other extending
in curving direction from the
right nipple across to the left nip
pie, being nine and three-fourths
inches in length and penetrating
the skin and muscle tissue.
The defense introduced no testi-
mony other than that tending to
show the quarrelsome disposition
of the complaining witness when
under the influence of liquor and
will plead self-defense as justifi-
cation for bis act. Driscoll was
represented by Attorneys Fisk &
Moellring. States Atty. Braatelien
appeared for the prosecution. At
the conclusion of the hearing JUS
tice Winther bound the defendant
over to the district court and fixed
his bond at $2,50O. The bond was
furnished and the defendant re-
leased until the next term of court.

Bill Dinneen, former twirler and
now on Ban JohnsOn's staff of UNI
pires, had an unusual experience
while at Hot Springs a few seasons
ago. Bill, with several more of the
members of the Boston Americans,
was getting in shape at the famous
water resort and occasionally would
take an afternoon off to go out to
the race track and make the book
makers do a little rubbing
Dinneen used to bet them with
pretty fair judgment and usually
managed to gather in little loose
change for himself whenever he
went out to the track. 1t was not
long until Bill got the bug" pretty
strong and every bookmaker on the
track knew him pretty we'll from
seeing him at the paying end of the
book cashing in his little slip.
One afternoon Dinneen put fair
sized bet down on a horse called
Sarsaparilla, which went to the
post at good odds. 1t was four
furlong race for maidens and as
luck would have it, there was an
other horse entered In the race that
resembled Bills choice quite bit.
