HUNTINGTON, w. VA, June To-
What came near proving a very serious
affair occurred here about noon to-day
at the city hail, the voting precinct Of
the First ward.
There were a number Of United States
msrshals in town working at the polls
for Senator Camden. George Vinson,
Of Barboursville, nephew Of Marshal
Vinsou, and one of his deputies, was
attempting to vote q man when Beau
regard McCaw, q hot Wilson man, OBJ
jected.
A quarrel resulted and two men, who
are heavy weights, came to blows, then
elinched.
Vinson got hold Of his revolver and
attempted to use it on McCaw, who saw
it and seized it. Capt. Eustace Gibson,
who stood near, seized the gun and the
police arrested the belligerants both OF
whom gave bond. Capt Gibson, while
displaying the revolver to party Of
friends in the third ward, later, was also
arrested.
The scrap created the greatest ex-
element, and il one shot had been fired
there would have been many more, as
the feeling was running high.
The Wilson men telegrsphed to Wash
ington to Attorney General olney, ask
ing his opinion as to the actions Of the
United States marshals, and he tele-
graphed to Marshal VinseD for his
statement Of TIE case. When the fight
occurred another telegram was sent to
General Olney.
1t is likely that trouble will arise from
the matter Marshal Vinson claims
that there were but four deputies in the
city McCaW had another fight in the
morning.
The primary was about the hottest
ever held here. Captain Eustace Glib
SOD, A. A. Hsnly and Alvin Davis were
Wilson Candidates for the Legislature,
and Rufus Switzer and w. Il. BOwles
were Camden candidates.
A number OF United States marshsls
were at the polls working for Camden
and a good deal OF money was blown In
on both Sides The excitement was in
tense all day. 1t Is thought that Cam
den men came out ahead, but 1t will not
not be know for several hours.
LATER:-The returns will not be I'm
ished until late in the morning, and are
only about half In. They indicate
the nomination OF Sweitzer aud Davis
