A SCENE IN COURT.
Two Lawyers Engage in an Alterca-
tion, and Are Fined.

I1Ou, and Are Elned.
SAN FRArCIsCo, Dec. 30.-A remark
able scene was witnessed in Superior
Judge Hebbard's courtroom this morn
ing during the trial of the suit of the eX-
ecutors of the Mervyn Donahue estate
against the Hotel San Rafael, a corpora
ton.
Some time ago the directors of the cor
poration were fined $500 for contempt for
uisobeying the injunction of the court,
but the execution thereon has not vet
been issued. This morning Attorney
Charles Hanlon. who represents the
plaintiffs, entered his Ejll of costs, which,
on motion of eX-Superior Judge O. p
Evans, counsel for defendants, Judge
llebbard ordered stricken out. Evans
then asked stay of execution in the
matter of the $500 line.
This greatly astonished Hanlon, who
asked If Evans had not promised him
that if the bill of costs was not pressed
Evans clients would pay the fine. Evans
denied having so stated. whereupon Han
lon called him liar.
The Judge retaliated by shooting his
right fist into HanlOn's face, and in a
minute the two attorneys were hammer
ing each other about the courtroom.
Bailiff O'Neil was ordered to separate
them, but before he could do so Evans
had knocked Hanlon down.
When order was finally restored, Judge
Hebbard summarily fined the combatants
$500 each, and ordered them to be i'm
prisoned five days in the County Jail.
Subsequently the two attorneys apol-
ogiZed to the court, Hanion stating at the
same time that he had not been struck by
Evans, and that he had no recollection Of
having called the latter liar. They asked
that the order committing them To Jail be
vacated, which Judge Hebbard finally
consented to, but insisted that the fine
should be paid.
The two attorneys drew their checks for
the amount; and, addressing each other
in friendly fashion, left the courtroom
together.
1t was stated when order was restored.
that Hanlon had not been knocked down
by Judge Evans, but had stumbled and

viii no doubt be necessary for the board
to modify the plans," said Commissioner
Brown, so the cost of the structure will
in no way exceed the sum of $500. 600.
1t is possible that the notifications to the
original drawings will be slight, but of
course that remains to be seen. The in
tentlon Of the board is to erect a safe and
commodious depot with the money at our
disposal. The plans, when submitted.
will be discussed and thoroughly gone
over at different sittings. There are
many things TO be considered and all

HELENA (Mont.), Dec. 30.-The time in
which the peremptory writ issued by the
Supreme Court to compel the Choteau
County Canvassing Board to canvass the
vote Of that county having expired, re-
lators' attorneys this morning made a
motion for the issuance of another pc
remptory writ extending the time, which
was granted. The ground on which the
motion was made was that the peremp-
tory writ heretofore issued had not been
served upon the members of the Can

in the writ for the board to canvass the
vote has passed, and the writ therefore
becomes imperative. 1t is probable the
vote will be canvassed by Monday.
