TIE PGPUlIST FIGHT.
Warden Chase Knocks Down Judge
Mcdonald An Over the Penlten-
tiary Invest gation-G Guns Drawn
and Lives Threatened

The investigation of Warden Chase of
the State Penitentiarv, which was set
for July 23d, began with rather dra-
matte scene. The investigation had
been demanded and charges preferred
by Messrs. Bupn, Yarrell and Stone
hooker, all former employees of the State
Penitentiarv. It was just at noon and
the board of directors who were sitting
as a court of inquiry to hear the charges,
had retired to decide whether they
would grant the continuance which Lad
been asked for by the complainants in
order that they might get additional
witnesses. The compliments say that
they asked the state to subpoena certain
witnesses which it had refused to do
and when they came to trial they found
that defendant Chase's witnesses had
been subpnnaed but that the complain
ants witnesses had not. They therefore
asked for this continuance. While the
board was considering the question an
alteration came up between Judge Nc
Donald, who was attorney for complain
ants, and Warden Chase in which the
following dialogue ensued, as given by
witnesses:
Chase: ''You are the g-d-est liar 1
know"
Mcdonald: GLOW do you make that
out Dick?"
Chase: "You told me you would not
have anything to do with this investiga-
ton"
Mcdonald: II told you that over a
month ago. | was retained last Friday
as counsel"
Chase: "You are cd id liar"
Mcdonald: eff you say that you are
a cd id liar )"
Judge Mcdonald, who is very short,
thick man of 81 years, bit the end off a
cigar and turned around to strike a
match on the wall. Chase sprang from
his chair and taking himby the collarwith
one hand began striking him furious
/ " with the other. Mcdonald attempted
to retaliate with a chair. Guns We're
! then drawn by the friends of Chase.
| Mcdonald and the complainant's state
that they had all been searched before
they entered the trial to ascertain
whether they had arms or not.
| After the fracas had ended the Judge
and his party left the room. Mcdonald s
white head was covered with blood and
he is now under the care of a physician.
Bum, Stonehocker and Yarrell declare
that the attack was premiditated and
refuse to again enter the office, fearing
assassination.
All the persons concerned are promi-
nent populists, with the possible excep-
ton of @. G. Clemens. whose anarchistic
proclivities are well known, but who
! kept quiet during the war
| A warrant is out against Chase for an
assault with intent to kill.
This is what occurred as might have
been expected, when Lewelling deter
investigate the charges which the law
requires shall be investigated by five
members of the legislature. The result
is no investigation and brutal fight in
which Warden Chase figures in dis
graceful manner. A few more such ex-
hibitions will certainly convince the
people of Kansas that we need change.
