SHOOTING CASE IS JOHN 1NQUIST IS ACQUITTED OP CHARGE OP ASSAULT WITH DANGEROUS WEAPON -MANINEN IS SATISFIED. The cac of Fred Inquist, charged with assault with a dangerous weap on, in shooting John Manincn on the niyht vl January 11th, was heard be fore Judge Goodman yesterday after noon. John II. Smith appeared for the defendant and assistant district Attorney McCue appeared for the State. 1 he court was crowded to the doors, and many stood on the side' walk, interested in the proceedings. Mr. Smith addressed the court and Mated that the injured innn did not wish to prosecute; that he admitted that he was equally to blame for the affray, and that both men bad been friends, and the defendant wished that friendtihip to continue. He was willing to pay the hospital expenses of the injured man, the costs of court, and wages for the time he was unable to work, by being in the hospital, and on this showing Mr. Smith did not think it necessary to try the case. McCue was not satisfied to have the case disposed of in this manner, and thought it was due the friends of both parties, and the public, that the mat ter be thoroughly investigated, He wished to be fair in the premises, but also wished to do his duty and had lua witnesses on hand. Judge Good man ordered the testimony to pro ceed and Maninen was placed on the tand. According to Maninen's testimony, which was given through an interpre ter, he went into Inquist's place of business and got into a discussion with the proprietor over the loan of $5, which grew into a violent quarrel. Doth men abused 'each other, and Maninen was ordered out. He re turned from the door and endeavored to strike Inquist, who immediately hot him while he was swinging a grip ack at him. He said that he now had no ill feeling against his assail ant ,and did not wish to proceed fur ther, and would accept the offer of Inquist to reimburse him and would sign a release of all claims and give a statement of satisfaction. Chas. Untincn and Chas. Hultinen were called to the stand, by the prose cution, and testified to the same gen eral affect, regarding the affray. The defense did not introduce any testi mony and Judge Goodman decided that as Maninen had attempted to assault Inquist, the latter was not altogether to blame, and in view of the desire of the injured party who did not wish to prosecute, and admit ted his part of the blame, he would dismiss the case, but insisted that Inquist should pay all expenses, and wages to the injured man. The men shook hands, Inquist's bail money was returned to him, less the costs of court, and the case was over. Registration Totals- Trie increase in the registration yesterday was 37.
