if he had not raised his arm and
caught the billiard ball aimed for his
head.
Both Smith and Landis say that
Hudkins appeared to have been
drinking, and that he was first a
trouble-maker and then an -aggressor.
Hudkins tells a widely mnerent
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, Hudkins says
that he took hold of htm 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
kins 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 htm out
of the running.
Chle fof Tolice Reed gives still
another side of the Btory. His tale
is that the first word of the scrap
reached him when he was engaged In
searching II. B. ttftrry, 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-
minute 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
kins at the Red Diamond pool hall a
short time afterward and placed him
under arrest and took him over to
the station. After hearing Hudkins
of the case, he released him. The
chief said Hudkins 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 Hudkins' 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. The case has
been the cause of considerable dis
cussion over the city, and an inter
esting session Is predicted.
