Dickinson in Third Place.

Dickinson-The third match of the
fnter-club Indoor Riff, league series
was closed Saturday evening, with
Dickinson at the head of the list of
twelve clubs entered. The score Of the
local five was 965 out of a possible
1000. while their opponents Of the
week, Adrian, Mich, could muster only
sol. This gives Dickinson two match
es out of three. Butte and st. Paul re-
main unbeaten. A report from divis-
ion headquarters at Minneapolis states
that G. w. Keys Of st. Paul and ]. H.
Wolford of the local club divide high
honors of the week in the league with
1876 points out of a possible 200.
The local marksmen have been
steadily improving their scores since
the opening of the schedule, and have
risen to place in the very front rank
of the western clubs. And reports
from the eastern division show that
in their third match but two clubs
made higher scores than the 965 of the
Dickinson five. They were the Win
chester club and the New York cluz.
In this connection it is we'll to note
that the Winchester men are all salar-
led shooters, and do nothing else. But
at that, Dickinson ranks thiads in the
entire United States for last week.

FIGHT With Butcher Knife.

Ellendale.-Word reached this city
of a terrific and desperate fight in the
hills between Dan Hunt and Chris
Schrum, both we'll known residents of
that part Of the country. Both young
men were more or less cut up as a
result of struggle for a sharp butch
er knife. None of the wounds received
in the face are considered dangerous,
but considerable blood was spilled.
1t appears that Hunt engaged
Schrum and another man to dig q
we'll for him, and when the work was
completed a dispute arose as to the
price agreed upon the work The diff
ference was but a few dollars, but
neither would give in or compromise
Schrum is alleged to have visited
Hunts home and demanded that he be
paid the difference or one of them
would die. A desperate fight ensued in
which butcher knife figured prom
inently. According to the way the
story Is told Schrum had Hunt down
and the latter was trying to use the
knife and in doing so cut himself Sc
verely across the fingers and at the
same time jabbed Schrum with the
point across the forehead

ERes7ElN FOUND NOT GUILTY..
Cleared of Charge Of Having Bribed
Juror to Prevent Conviction.

Cleared Of Charge Of Having Bribed
Juror to Prevent Conviction.
Chicago, Ill. - Attorney Charles
E. Erbstein was found not guilty of
having bribed a juror to prevent the
conviction on second trial of Lee o.
Neill Browne, minority leader in the
state legislature, who was charged
with bribing Representative Charles
A. White to vote for William Lorimer
for United States senator. It was Erb-
STEMS second trial and the jury was
out less than an hour A disagreement
was the result of the first trial. Erb7
stein acted as his own counsel in the
second case.
The specific charge against Erbstein,
who was counsel for Browne in his Sec
ond trial, at which Browne was acquit-
ted, was that he had bribed Juror
Grant McCutcheon to hold out for a
verdict of mot guilty." Soon after
Browne was acquitted, Harry Stacey
declared to States Attorney John Way
man that he had arranged with Erb-
stein for McCutcheon to receive pay
ment for holding out. Similar testi-
mony was given by McCutcheon and a
charge was made against Erbstein.
| He was tried and on Dec. II the
jury reported unable to agree. A Sec
ond trial was begun on Jan. and re.
/ suited in the acquittal of the attorney
| yesterday.
While attorneys were selecting the
jury for the first trial, Attorney Erb.
stein brought charges before the Chi
cago Bar association that States At
torney Wayman had attempted to bride
/ JUROR while practicing in the Grimm
al courts several years ago. Erbsteir
later withdrew the charges and the
bar association acquitted Wayman.
