SANTA CRUZ, Nov. 16.-The usu-
ally quiet streets of our little city
were enlivened yesterday after
noon by rough-and.tumble fight
between County Treasurer Stein
metz and Macpherson, editor of the
Sentinel. The columns of the Sen
tineI for several weeks have con-
tained frequent illusions to Mr.
Steinmetz not complimentary to
his reputation as an officer or
citizen. Rumor says Steinmetz
had threatened to shoot Macpher-
son if his name again appeared in
his paper, but to-day's sentinel
contained some structures on the
Treasurer, intimating that he had
asked the Supervisors for an un-
necessary appropriation for stamps
which he might use in private COR
respondeuce with Germany, etc.
About 5 o'clock last evening Stein
metz met Macpherson on the street
and struck him a severe blow with
his cane. This was followed by an
encounter with fists, in which
Steinmetz got the worst of 1T, and
retired from the field with a bloody
face. The bystanders, fearing more
serious results, separated the COM
batants. Neither of the parties Is
seriously injured.
