A DESPERATE FIGHT
Between Two Prominent Steamboat
Men,.

Men,.
A desperate aud bloody ARRAY took place
yesterday down near sardis, while the Frank
Stein was loading on. some freight on her
up trip. Capt Asa Booth, OF the
Parkenburg Transportation Company, is
rusticating near sardis, as is also
Capt. Ed Hornbrook, Of the towaoat
Jennie Campbell. Yesterday Captain Booth
had secured a quantity Of freight for the
Courier's up trip, and It was deposited on the
river bank Just below Sardis. The Frank
Stein passed up first, and Der officers say she
was hailed anu asked to take on the freight
Whether this Is so or not, she landed, and
began 10 take the goods. Captain Booth re.
monstrated aud claimed the freight, and
tinally began 70 apply opprobrious epiIhets
TO Eb Cline, Chiei Clerk Of the Stein. Cline
became angry, and approached the Captain
menacingly, when me latter struck him q
sledge hammer blow and knocked him some
distance. He got up again and renewed the
assault, this time 10 better effect, succeeding
in knocking Booth down. He then grasped
q large boulder, aud pouncipg on the Cap.
tain's PROSTATE form, beat him severely about
the head, cutting numerous wicked gashes in
his scalp and face. While Cline had the
Captaindown and was beating him with the
stone, Capt Hornbrook came to the rescue,
a I'D compelled Il assailan to desist. Another
wordy war followed, tripartite this time,
which was ended by Cline going upon bis
boat aad getting u revolver, with which he
would have returned to the fay but for the
fact that the other officers Of the Stein locked
him up in state room, and the boat soon
finished loading Gnd pulled ont.
Capt. Booth bled profusely, and his wounds
will pain him severely for some time to come.
He was already suffering from lamehess &C.
casloned by au accidental blow from clamp.
A bad state Of feeling had existed between
the Two men before, originating In dispute
which occurred when Cline was pilot and
Booth master OF the Diurnal. Friends OF
the two parties fear that the matter will not
be allowed TO rest as 1t Is II the men again
come In contact.

A trial serious enough in the nature OF the
issue involved, but immensely amusing In
It's incldentr, was commenced yesterday
afternoon to Jury at Squire CaldWsll's
office, Squire Bulgsr presiding in the other
JUSTICES absence. The defendant was
Thomas Bellsyille, u member Of the city
police force, and the complainant John,
better known as "Pen" Mason. Mason
charged the officer with aggravated assault
and battsry. The case grows out Of the
arrest OF Mason Saturday hight, when he
was considerably beaten up by the officer.
Mason Is tall aud muscular negro, VINO has
a bad name among the police, having been
IN trouble OF various kinds frequently. He
claims that in this instance he did not resist
the officer, and that the bsstiug was wanton
and unnecessary, while BeleyilIs alleges
that he did resist repeatedly before he was
struck. The arrest was made for disoTderly
conduct, for which Mason was yea
terday fined s. aud costs In Police
Court BE subsequently, swore out
warrant for Belleyille before Squire Bulger,
and had about fifteen witnesses summoned.
Most oil these were colored people living on
Eleventh street, where the occurrence took
seen ths affair were also examined. The les.
timony for the prosecution was pretty strong,
oil the witnesses agreeing that Mason had
merely pulled back gently and asked to be
allowed TO get his hat and coat, and that the
officers had then dubbed him until he fell,
aud followed him up, raining blows on hiI
head, and knocking him down three tunes,
The unauimity OF the witnesses was indeed q
little remarkable, most OF them having count
ed the blows, and all agreeing on the mum
Der. One bsy said he Thought Mason
had tried TO catch the officer by thu
legs aud trip him up. Only two
witnesses for the defense were examined
when the court adjourned till O'Clock thi'
morning. The most important OF these wa

testified that Mason bad resisted and strucl

and that 1t was only when be tried 70 choke
