Fort WAYNE, May 8.-This afternoon there
was a savage street encounter between
Therau P Keator, city editor Of the Morning
Gazette, and Frank C. Cooper, editor and

nations, Cooper charging Keator with various
misdeeds, referring to some old charges in
connection with bankrupt concern known
as the Western Gun Works, and finally with
Boosting of intimacy with society ladies.
This last charge incensed Keator who as
saulted Cooper, knocking him into the ditch
and pounding him SO badly that the instant
services of surgeon were required, and he
was taken home unconscious. Keator sur
rendered himself and gave bail for trial on
Friday afternoon. Keator, on his part had
charged Cooper with Encouragement of the
