Free Fight In a Bank.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, June 6.-The old
National bank in this city was the scene
of two lively scrimmages this morning, in
which prominent parties were involved.
Some time ago II. Il. Read, a prominent
real estate agent, tried to buy for ex-Con-
gresham William Heilman a valuable
piece Of property. This fact was COM
municated to III. Il. Read, Jr., another
real estate agent, who is at puts with his
father. by Jacob Jenner, and young Read
at once offered a larger price for the
property and secured it. This enraged
the old gentleman, and going into
the bank this morning he de-
nounced Jenner in strong language.
The latter started for Read, and was met
with a blow between the eyes. He rose
to his feet and struck at his antagonist,
when Read drew n pocket knife and
chased Jenner out of the bank. Bystand-
ers caught Read and prevented any fur
ther fighting. About an hour later u
Read entered the bank, and was met on
the threshold by ex Congressman He'll
man who took him TO task for his action.
Young Read retorUed and the lie was
passed, the irate real estate agent hurting
a bundle of maps and papers at the burly
form Of his older antagonist. Mr.. He'll
man seized his young assailant and kicked
HIM into the street, and then retreated in
time to escape a heavy stone thrown at
him by young Read. This ended the
hostilities for the time, but there is con-
siderable hot blood aroused and the matter
may not end here.

These fellows are wonderfully expert
with the machete, which serves every
purpose from the digging of a grave to
that of cutting down a tree eighteen
inches in diameter. The machete differs
in length and form according to the sec
ton of the country and the main object
for which it was originally designed. In
the cane growing regions of the west
coast it is about thirty inches long. The
edge of the blade is slightly convex, and
increases in width hear the end, which
is rounded and fared very similar to the
eastern scimitar. On the Caribbean
coast it is a little longer, but the blade is
not $ convex and of less width. Years
ago it was the national weapon of the
country, and in many bloody revolutions
the sight of a regiment of Indians with
these murderous blades sparkling in the
sunlight caused more than one stampede
among the soldiers.-Cor. New York

The Florentine Mosaic from Maine
is quite an apt descriptive title for the

The extraordinary enthusiasm with
which the name of Cleveland was received
when placed in nomination at st. Louis
yesterday is said to have been without
parallel even in the most lively political
conventions. The disappointment of the
place hunters has given way to a convic
ton hat Cleveland has alter all furnished
a strong and clean administration which
will be sustained by a large mass Of
thinking people whose first consideration
is principle and not party.
The nomination of Mr.. Cleveland was a
foregone conclusion from the outset. The
singular unanimity with which it was
given, backed by the hearty enthusiasm
which the mention OF his name created
auGurs well for sweeping victory in No
vember.
Among the ornaments in the conven
ton ball are the portraits Of the 'nrty
candidates for the past generation with a
significant exception. The place which
should have been occupied by the portrait
of VIM. III. English of Indiana is filed
instead by the picture of Governor Mar
maduke. 1t is sale TO say that this
slight will arouse no very strong protest
from members of the party throughout
the country. Mr.. English has always
been a narrow. guaRe statesman who did
the party much harm during the Hancock
campaign. We are therefore pleased to
observe the cordial unanimity which the
Larty is now disposed-to sit upon him.
The sudden apparation of the portrait Of
President Cleveland in convention hall a
momen or two after Mr.. Dougherty had
closed his nominating speech was a very
clever stroke. One part of the hall is oc
cupied by an immense picture of the
capitol at Washington. When the ex-
element over the nomination Of Cleve-
lands name was at its height the main
entrance in the pictured representation of
the capitol suddenly swung open, display
ing the smiling portrait OF President
Cleveland. This clapped the climax Of
enthusiasm.
1t will be observed that TIE LEADERS,
report of the convention proceedings is
very full and complete. In an event of
such overshadowing importance we be-
lieve the people are anxious to learn all
the details without waiting to secure
them from newspapers Published in large
towns elsewhere. We have cndeavored
to crafty them in this respect, and as this
happens to be a newspaper as well as a
party organ, we also propose to give the
most complete report OF the Republican
national convention that will be published
in Wyoming. The gentle reader is invit-
ed to make Il note of the fact that there
are no flies on The LEADER
1t seems entirely probable hat the
platform will reiterate the old idea of
recognizing the territories in making ter
ritorial appointments. In this connection
we have only one suggestion to make, and
that is that the people of the territories
aid instead of opposing the aspirations OF
local men. Heretofore the blame has
rested more with the party men Of the
territories than with the powers that be.
This simple fact should not be overlooked
at this stage of the game when we are
clamoring Tor recognition
