Both Smith and Land is say that Hudklns appeared to have been drinking, and that he was first a trouble-maker and then an ag gressor. Hudklns tells a widely ainerent story, to the effect that he had been attempting to collect a bill that Smith had owed him for years. He says that the pool hall proprietor became abusive and threatened to throw him out If he did not leave. Thereupon, he announced that he was willing to fight, but that he would not start anything in the other man's place of business. He says that he Invited Smith to step outside, but the latter refused. Then ensued more argument, and when Smith got too abusive, Hudklns says that he took hold of him and started to take hi moutslde. At that junc ture the billiard cue descended, and he spent the next few moments counting the stars. When he came up, he came up with blood In his eye and billiard balls in his hands. Hud klns declared that he, too, had had a fortunate escape, for If the counter wires had not been In the way, the blow from the billiard cue would have been sufficient to put him out of the running. Chie fof Police Reed gives still another side of the story. His tale Is that the first word of the scrap reached him when he was engaged In searching II. B. Iftrry, arrested on a petit larceny charge. A man came In, wildly excited, with tears as big as teacups streaming, down his cheeks, and declared that the Smith pool hall was being wrecked. On being asked who was on the wreck ing crew, he answered the single word: "Sheep-herders." A half mlnute later Joe Smith came In, and declared that his place was being ruined. He said, according to the chief, that "John is killed," and that he had been badly hurt. On going over to the pool hall, the chief found the place deserted. He located Hud klns at the Red Diamond pool hall a short time afterward and placed him under arrest and look him over to the station. After hearing Hudklns' of the case, he released him. The chief said Hudklns assured him that he had no Intention of leaving town and that he would be ready any min ute the authorities called on him. The chief declares that he did not smell liquor on Hudklns breath, and that, so far as he could discern, "Red" had not been indulging in anything stronger than water. These are, In substance, the stories which Judge Tash will listen to next Tuesday. Other witnesses will like ly be called, and the decision will be up to the judge.
