St. Peter, Mimi, enjoyed a sensation.
Senator Bowen, of the Sleepy Eye Herald,
came down to St. Peter to rectify an errone-
GUS statement which appeared in the St.
Peter Tribune concerning the published ru
NOR of his intention to start daily in Du
luth. The tribune insinuated that Bowen
was boodIer and that his practices in the
late legislature were not honest. To this
the senator took exceptions, and he came
down to "cane the lie down the throat of the
editor" as he said. Senator Bowen met Col
Inns, the editor of the Tribune, in the lobby
of the Nicollet house and demanded writ
ten retraction and an apology. Collins
made the retraction, which was to the effect
that he knew absolutely nothing about the
intended deal, and that the insinuationt
was based on no facts whatever. He refused
however, to apologize, and Bowen stretched
out his right arm and delivered a blow OF
Collins right eye which laid him prostratC
| on the floor. When he arose he was agaiI
pounded rather freely.
