A crowd of something less than q million
concentrated about the south side of the st.
James hotel yesterday afternoon as though a
magnet with powers of human attraction was
stationed in the vicinity. The real cause of
attraction, however, was an indiscriminate tus-
sic between the proprietor of the house and a
coiored gentleman, at the foot of the stairway
leading TO the basement. The colored mans
name is said to be George King, a former head
waiter at the house. King claimed he was af-
ter his pay and clothing, while the proprietor
charged him with insulting the girls. In the
melee the negro seems to have had the advan-
tage, and MIR. Dayton, emerged with a wound
in the check and disabled hand. The combat
ants were finally separated, the negro dispersed
around the corner, Dayton retreated inside,
when instantly a policeman thrust himself up
on the scene to see what was the matter.
