SPOKANE FALLS, Dec 4-Judge Blake's
department of the superior court was
the scene today OF an exciting free fight,
in which Mayor Clough, Attorneys Tur-
ner, Graves and Finn, and the officers
of the court participated. In few mo-
ments there was tremendous uproar.
The fight was the result of conflict be-
tween the city and the judicial
authorities. Judge Blake rendered
judgment against the city
for $4,000 in favor OF ex-Police
Justice Curry. Mayor Clough refused to
sign the warrant, and was arrested for
contempt OF court Charles p Voorhees,,
attorney for the city, in addressing the
court, said it was an outrage that the
mayor should be summarily arrested on
a charge, the penalty OF which was inn
prisonment in the penitentiary. Attor-
ney George Turner, prominent politi-
clan, retorted that it might have been
better for the city if the whole municipal
government had been in the peniten-
tiary for the past two years.
After the court adjourned, and while
the men were leaving the room, Mayor
Clough approached Turner and said that
his remarks were uncalled for. and that
his law firm had been mixed up in every
dirty case in the city, whereupon Tur-
ner struck at Clough. Some say the
mayor was knocked down, others that
he lodged the blow, and slipped and fell
over chair, and Turner jumped on the
PROSTATE man. Thereupon Attorney
Quinn sought to pull him off, and
Graves, Turner's former law partner,
jumped on Quinn, and the sheriff, depu-
ties and constables rushed in. The
judge pounded the bar and called for
order, and confusion generally reigned.
Finally the combatants were separated,
and it was found that nobody was hurt.
Turner served as United States mar
shall in Alabama under Grants admin
istration, and was one of the 306 who
supported Grant in the Chicago conven-

A Prominent Couples Terrible EncOunte
with Burglar.


NORFOLK, Va, Dec. 4.-Surgeon Will
liam A. Wheeler, OF the United States
marine hospital service, and his wife,
were seriously slashed with razor
in the hands of negro bur-
glar this evening. They had
just finished tea and going
into another room, found burglar
calmly looking through their effects.
The doctor grappled with him and was
getting the best of him, when the
negro drew razor and began
slashing right and left with terrible
effect. Mrs. Wheeler rushed to her
husbands assistance, but was soon
slashed in terrible manner. Though
faint from loss of blood, she rushed into
her husbands room, secured his pistol
and handed it to him. The burglar
broke away and escaped, although the
doctor thinks one of the shots he fired
hit the man. The doctor and his wife
are not fatally injured, but will be laid
up some little time. The police are
searching for the negro.

X KALAKAUA.
The Hawaiian King in California for
His Health.

His Health.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 4.-The United
States steamer Charleston, with King
Kalakaua, of Hawaii, on board, entered
the harbor at IL O'Clock this morning.
The U. S. S. Swatara met the Charleston
near the heads and saluted her, as did
the forts, afterward accompanying the
Charleston to her moorings. The Off
GERS OF the Charleston reported a good
trip from Honolulu until Tuesday, when
the gale which has ragged along the coast
was encountered.
Colonel McFarlane, chamberlain to
King Kalakaua, stated that the king
visited California for the benefit of his
health and eyesight, which is somewhat
impaired. The king would probably re-
main in California five or six weeks,
and during that period would visit the
southern part of the state, but would
not go east. The king is accompanied
only by Colonel McFarlane and a few
servants.
Kalakaua left the Charleston in the
the admiral's barge late this afternoon,
and few moments later arrived at the
Clay-street wharf. The Charleston and
Swatara again fired royal salute as the
king left the ship. Upon arriving at
the wharf, he was received by General
Gibbon, commanding the division Of the
Pacific, and Consul-General Mckinley of
Hawaii. A battalion OF United States
cavalry was drawn up in line facing the
wharf. Great crowds of people sur
rounded the landing place, and as the
king left the barge he bowed right and
left in acknowledgment OF the cheers
which were given by the spectators.
He Immediately entered carriage
drawn by four horses, and was driven to
the Palace hotel, where reception was
given him, which was attended by

After His Victims Estate.

Tucson, Ariz., Dec. 4.-The grand jury
today returned an indictment against
George W. Reed for the murder OF
James Farrell, at Nogales, last October.
The deceased was resident OF San
Francisco, but the last three years has
been mining in Imuris, Mexico. A
former grand jury ignored the charge,
believing the killing justifiable. Suisse
quently Reed applied for letter OF ad-
ministration on his victims estate,
worth about 100000. This caused a
close investigation OF the murder. which
disclosed evidence tending to show that
the killing was cold-blooded and pre-
meditated murder.
