SLIGHT UEPLEASANINESS,
During the session of Department Two o
the Superior Court yesterday morning an IN
plessantness occurred bstEeen County Clerl
Coglsn and W. II. Beatty, who is counsel TO
Mr.. Beard, who contests Mr.. Coglan's RICH
to the County Clerkship. It appears tia
Beatty called upon Coglsn at an earlier hou
to get the remitti:ur in the case Of Ooglan vs
Beard, recently sent up from the Supremt
Court Coglap did not wish to surrender /
until his counsel, S. S. Holl, was present
Beatty stated that he had met Mr.. Holl {
short time before, and had an understanding
with him on the subject. Finally Coglar
gave the remittitur, with the agreement. al
he states, that nothing should be done unit
Mr. Holl was present. Concerning thi:
agreement there is apt, 80 is usual, to be sn,
other side. Judge Beatty says that he saw
Judge Holt after his conversation with Mr.
Coglsn and arranged matters with him,
q misunderstanding in his subsequent
sction. However Coglan, after a while,
heard that Beatty had presented the remit.
THUR before Judge Armstrong, and asked
that time for hearing motion in the prem
ises be fixed. The Judge set o'clock this
morning as the hour. The case was originally
brought in Judge Clark's Court Department
Oae, but, owing to that eentleman's illness,
it was heard by Judge benson in Depart.
ment Two. Coglan holds that the remittitur
should therefore have been presented in De.
partment Two. while Beatty holds that it has
as much ri ht in Department One. the Gaze
having originally been commenced there.
The difference lies in the fact that it is to
some extent a political case, and Judge
Armstrong, of Department One, Judge
Judge Mcfarland, of Department Two.
is a Republican. Considerably out of
temper. Ccglsn went up to Beatty,
who was acting as one of the attorneysin she
Linnell vs.. Hawley case, made some H.
quiries, and remarked, as he turned away,
Il don't zee what you wanted TO lie about it
for" or something to that effect. Beatty i'm
mediately sprang up and struck him, CogIan
struck back, and there wss lively sparring
for perhaps a minute, but without a word or
exclamation. Judge Mcfarland was attend
ing to the testimony of witness, his face
turned from the table where the attorneys
sit, but presently he observed an unusual
and, looking around, found the
two gentlemen earnestly debating, a Ia prize
ring. He called Cor the officer of Court,
but he, business being dull in that Depart
ment, had stepped across the hall iato the
other Court to see how che Chinese murder
case was progressing. The Judge then called
upon the attorneys to interfere, and Grove
L. johnson and others did so and put an end
to the discussion. Neither Cf the oisputauts
had received noticeable injury, their iuten-
ton having been b5tter than their execution.
After minute or two Cogian left the Court
room, and subsequently, Beatty spolog;Zed to
the Court.
