BLOOD WAS Split.
elimination of Frequent
Chickering's.
Free Fight at the San Francisco Stock
Brewery - Engineer Fletcher
Seriously Injured.

There was lively fight at the San Fran
cisco Stock Brewery, at Francisco and
Powell streets, about 6 o'clock last night.
One of the participants is at the Receiving 2
Hospital, another had his head bound up
at the City Prison Hospital and the third
had his left wrist dressed by surgeon.
There has been bad blood for some time
between the WillmOtts, father and SOD,
and the Fletchers. father and son. Sam
uel c. Willmott, father, and Hawlev j.
Willmott. son, are brewers. while A. Z.
Fletcher, father. and Louis Fletcher, son,
are engineers at the brewery.
From what could be gathered the Will
motts have for some time been doing their
best to get the Fletchers removed from the
brewery, and being unsuccessful they re-
sorted TO VIOLENCE.
Young Fletcher states that there have
been three fights. The first one was not Of
much account. but in the second one his
father was badly beaten by the Willmotts
They were, he said. always finding fault
about trifles. so as to pick quarrel.
Yesterday afternoon about half-past 3
young Willmott knocked old man Fletcher
down, aud was beating him when the son
came to his fathers assistance. John
Arle, another brewer, and Herman
Schroeder, driver OF Deer-wagon, were
present and urging young WillmOtt TO
"give it to him." They were separated.
but young Wllmott threatened TO go for
the old man again.
Fearing trouble the Fletchers, father and
son, each armed himself with a piece Of
lead pipe. which each concealed In one If
his pockets. When they knocked off work
at o'clock they found young Willmott
Arle, Schroeder and several others waiting
for them.
Young Willmott rushed at old Fletcher
and knocked him down. Young Fletcher
rushed 10 his fathers assistance, but he
was driven back and fell, injuring his
wrist. a free fight ensued, during which
Arle received an ugly scalp wound and
old man Fletcher was brutally kicked
about the head and hips.
Some one blew a police whistle and
Officers Finn and Rains bury appeared
upon the scene. They summoned the
patrol wagon and conveyed the Fletchers
and Arle to the City Prison, where they
were charged with battery. The old man
Fletcher was so badly Injured that he had
TO be promptly driven to the Receiving
Hospital. Aries and young Fletcher's IT,
jures were attended to by the steward al
the prison hospital.
The police are searching for young Will
mott, who had disappeared before the ar
rival OF the officers.

pear or even to make an affidavit

settlement. which brought Mr.. Rix, coun-
sci for defendant, to his feet with an in
dIgnant denial that any such suggestion
had come from his side, which was anxious
for the trial to proceed.

cases, Judge Sanderson asked the counsel
to settle upon some other day, and it was
finally decided TO hear the case on Friday

THE GERMAN DEnOCRATS.
Efforts to Obtain a Slice of the
Political Pie.

The executive committee of the German
American Central Democratic CLUB held a
meeting Monday night, Henry Troppmann
in the chair.
The president was authorized to appoint
a committee of three to rent hall centrally
located for meeting purposes. The secre-
tary was instructed to send out postal

members of the club TO be acted upon. The
membership lists will also be ready by Oc-
tober 2, and can then he found in the club
headquarters, at 514b Sixth street. Ap-
plcaLions for membership are already
numerous.
The executive committee. with the as
sistance of the president. will now try its
utmost to bring it about that few men,
bers OF the club receive political positions
either under the city or the United States
Government. The president will select
committee to personally visit all the diff
ferent officials and make a demand TO that
end, so that the German-Amercan element
will not be left out in tile cold altogether.
1t was stated that the club had not re-
ceived one appointment vet, but that the
prospect seemed TO be good.

COMMISSIONER REDDING.
He Will Attend the Anglers Conven-
tion at Chicago.

Joseph ID. Redding, the musical critic.
who is Fish and Game Commissioner for
the State of California, is making prepa-
rations to attend the Worlds Fair at Chr
cago.
This will be nothing very unusual or
startling in the way of news to the com
munity, although 1t may cause somewhat
OF a futter of excitement among the 400
and especially those OF them who have ears
for classical music.
Mr. Redding, however, unbosomed him.
self few days ago at a meeting of the
Fish and Game Commissioners, and owing
TO his very extensive knowledge of pisci-
culture which he attained during his terms
of Office by attending occasional meetings
OF the commission, he adjndged that il
would be but proper and right that his ex-
penses should be allo we'd by the commits
sion during HIS search for piscatorial news
in the Windy City.
The request was at first regarded by
Commissioners Murdoch and Mcneil as
one of the musicians funny jokes. but
when kedding failed to wink within a rea-
sonable time the sincerity of the man was
painfully apparent to his brother Commits
sioners.
Mr.. Mcneil said that he was under the
Impression that the Commissioners had to
defraY their expenses out of their own
pockets, but that probably in Mr.. Red
ding's case an exception could possibly be
made owing to his very reliable and ex-
tensive knowledge of the piscatory art.
Mr.. Redding stated that he proposed to
attend the convention of anglers at Chi
cago, and that the fund of Information he
expected to return with would prove of
inestimable value to the people of Caifor-
mia, and particularly the scientists. Jor-
dan and Gilbert OF the Leland Stanford
University. Upon this statement the ex-
penses of Mr.. Redding during his sojourn
in Chicago were allowed provided that
they will not reacn such high figure as TO
cripple the funds allowed the commission
for the protection of fish and game.
1t is expected that Mr.. Redding will
lecture before the State Sportsmen's Asso-
citation on his return from the anglers
convention.

D--n Democrat that won't

Dbl Joe Blackburn-politically
We feel very much like the Bishop
who rode in the stage coach over one
of those wretched winter roads that
an old-time coach line knew how to
find. For his companion was a man
that did not have the fear of God be-
fore his eyes, and when the Bishop
and his traveller were finally
compelled to wade out from the brok-
en- down vehicle through mud knee
deep, the man opened up with a
volume of profanity, the like of which
the Bishop had never heard. After
listening in open mouthed wonder
till there came lull in the storm, the
good man astonished his listeners by
simply saying, "Thank YOU"

The Niger" Nominee for Coun-
cilmen.

The Republicans of the Third ward,
on Friday night nominated Mr. j. d.,
Wilson and Walter Banks, a negro
school teacher, for Councilmen. The
Republicans are in the Overwhelming
majority in the ward, and it looks like
we are to have negro Councilman.
Some parties, Democrats and Repub-
licans living in this ward, not liking
tle i lea ofhavinga negro to represent
tn I'M, have brought out as Independ-
ents, Mr.. w. I. Fitzpatrick and DR.. b !,
f. Cox. The only advice we can give
the Democrats in the ward is to stand
by their nominees, and let the onus Of
putting negro in the Council fall on
the Republicans. The move made by
the Republicans in nominating the
negro Banks, will so disgust the more
respectable element of their party that
they may refrain from voting at all.
Its effect is to simply so selidify the
Democratic vote so that the Democrat
ic nominees will receive larger ma
jority than the otherwise would have
done.
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1893-10-24

The white Republicans of Mt. Sterl-
ing, must have great love for the
negro, or believe that there are not as
many as two honorable white Repub-
licans in the Third Ward. The Third
Ward is overwhelming by Republi-
cans they every thing their own way,
and if where they have power they
would name negro for the impor-
tant office of Councilmen, they would
have negro for County Judge, for
Congressman, for President.
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1893-10-24

The favorite whine of Republican
candidate in this section is: There is
no politics in it," John Wood will be
singing this same old song to the
voters of the city, and will try to
catch some Democratic votes by this
flimsy old dodge. God love you,
friends, there is politics in it. The
Democrats have said so and the Re-
publicans have reiterated it. There
never was time in all the history Of
the Republic when it was more impor-
tant for Democrats to understand this
than now, and keep our organization
perfect. Last November we won by
overwhelming odds, but our party
had to take possession of the Govern
ment when the country was reduced
to the EXTREMIST straits because Of the
vicious legislation and wildly, reckless
extravaganza of the Republican
party. Our party has had to encoun-
ter more than this, for in the tidal
wave that swept the party into power
were carried into places of trust with
it traitors who would nullify the will
of the people by obstructing all legis-
lation proposed for their relief, by the
patriotic men who are fighting for the
peoples rights. More, we have to en-
dure the disgrace of seeing men who
in days of adversely were honest and
fearless, being deceived by those who
are doing the will of the Silver Barons
--or what is worse, laying themselves
open to the suspicion of being bought
by the silverites. We repeat, all this
and much more we might say--makes
It only the more important that party
organization should be solidified in
every contest, from that of the selec-
tion of Constable to President.
There is politics in the race for City
Judge, and Brother Johnnie will find
it so when the election comes off two
weekE from to-day. /

Mr.. Harrison's Concern.

Renjamin Harrison's concern for
"pure elections" would be more i'm
pressive if it were not so one-sided
and so belated. The ex-President
affects to see In the end of Davenport
ism an end to honest voting,
Speaking of squire elections" does
Mr.. Harrison remember one w. w.
Dudley? He ought to, for this Dud-
ley was one of his own campaign man
ayers in 1888. He issued a famous
circular letter to the chairman of Re-
publican county committees in Mr..
Harrison's own State. The letter as
sured these committeeman of "the as
sistance necessary to hold our foaters
and doubtful voters and gain enough
of the other kind to give Harrison and
Morton 10000 plurality" 1t directed
them to "divide our voters into blocks
of nve, and put trusted man will
necessary funds in charge of these five
and make him responsible that none
get away and that all vote our ticket"
What does Benjamin Harrison
think of this as recipe for securing
pure elections"
He can hardly have forgotten Dud-
ley, because that then faithful servitor
caused him great deal of trouble
1t required that Federal Judge re-
verse his honest instructions to
grand jury, and that United States
District-Attorney trample upon law
and outrage decency, to keep Dudley
from going to Jail. This action was
rendered necessary by some threats of
Dudley that his pockets were full OF
dynamite the explosion of which
would be dangerous to others than
himself.
Mr.. Harrison, who accepted the
Presidency at the hands of Dudley
and Quay, ought to make his lectures
on "pure politics" as few and far be-
tween as possible.-N. Y. World.
