OF hostilities. Then Mr.. Nackay went home
In one hack and Mr.. Bonynge in another.
The latter has made no public statement
regarding the ~fracas, but from the former
the following version OF the affair was pro-
cured;
It happened In this way. Long ago 1 suspect
ed that Bonynge was the instigator OF certain
vile attacks upon Mrs. Mackay which appear
ed in certain newspapers in New York and
London. Having proof that this was true, l
to punish him the first time 1 met
him. Yesterday, when / entered the presi-
dents room in the Nevada bank, 1 saw Bonynge
sitting at the desk. As l entered Bonynge
turned and saw me. He had a malignant
lodk and made a threatening movement !
struck out with my right arm and hit him In
the left eye. Then I hit him again, and called
upon him to put up his fists and fight like a
man. But instead of fighting he fell and clasp
ed me around the knees like a coward. Ills
blood poured all over my trousers and upon
the floor. The clerks rushed in and removed
him. The sound thrashing he received he well
deserved for circulating those stories about
Mrs. MRckay. I'm not so handy with my fists
As l used to DO twenty years ago upon the Com
stock, but have a little fight left in me yet,
and | will allow no man to malign me or mine.
John w. Mackay's history might be
termed a romance in real life. He was
born in Dublin ffty-seven years ago, and
when quite young left Ireland for America.
The California gold excitement was at its
height, and he pushed on to the Pacific
coast. There he met Flood, O'Brien and
Fair. These four Joined forces, and later
on became wealthy and famous as the
Bonanza Kings" 1t was in the west that
Mackay also met the lady who is now his
wife. The subsequent ambitions, achieve
ments and doings OF the family are so well
known that they need not be r~ecounted
here. As for the Mackay-Bonynge quarrel,
1t may have eliminated and closed in the
recent fist fight, or it may be that it will
take on a fresh and more furious phase.
That time alone can decide.
