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.
