FIGHTING SENATORS.
Senator's Allen and Campbell Come &c
Blows During n Session of the Senate.

Senators Allen and Campbell Come to
Blows During n Session of the Senate.
A special dispatch to the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat, under date of June 2,
says;
Two senators came to blows to day on the
floor of the senate while that grave body
was in session. They were senators Allen
and Campbell, two agricultural members on
the democratic side of the senate. The SEN
ate was in the midst of the consideration of
a bill amending the road law, when these
words rang out from the democratic
side: You are id fool" They
were uttered by Senator Allen. and
addressed to Senator Campbell. At
that instant Campbell, who weighs con-
siderably more than 200 pounds, turned
around and aimed a savage blow at Allen.
Campbells big fist landed on Aliens neck,
but did not knock the senator from Scott off
his feet. Allen was wild with rage, and
picking up wooden bill file, filled with
stock yards bills, hurled it at Campbell.
Campbell made another dive at Allen, and
the latter picked up big mucilage bottle
and was about to throw it at Campbells
head, when half q dozen senators stepped
between them and ended the fight. The
senate had been thrown into the greatest
confusion, but order was presently restored
and business proceeded Later in the day
9th of the fighting senators arose and
apologized to the senate for their conduct,
though not apolOgizing to each other.
The fight was the result of bad blood that
has existed between the two senators for
some time Allen favored the road bill un-
der consideration and Campbell opposed it.
Allen went over to Campbell to ask him to
withdraw his objections. Campbell said he
didn't care to talk with him, and then fol.
lowed the scene described.
"This thing has been brewing for some
time" said Allen after the fight. "a few
days ago asked Campbell what he meant
by voting with the republicans. A short
time afterward he wanted.me to vote for one
of his sand bagging bills, and because re.
fused to support it he got mad"
