A PERSONAL ENCOUNTER.
Deputy Collector Craig Attacks Colonel
Fitzsimmons and Is Soundly Thrashed.

A decidedly sensational encounter
occurred in a prominent dining room
in Scranton last Saturday evening
between Colonel F. J. Fitzsimmons, a
Democratic orator and a delegate to
tie late Democratic National Conven
ton, and William Craig, deputy Unit
ed States internal revenue collector
for this district.
At the late municipal election the
brother of Colonel Fitzsimmons was a
candidate for Alderman of the Eighth
Ward, an Office worth $1,000 a year.
He was defeated and it was charged
that Craig assisted in his defeat To.
day Colonel Fitzsimmons published
over his own signature All open letter
to internal Revenue Collector Grant
S. Herring, requesting the removal of
Deputy Craig for party perhdy.
Colonel Fitzsimmons charged Craig
with number of things, including
opposing regular Democratic candid.
ates at the late general election.
When Colonel Fitzsimmons went
to his hotel for his supper this evening
he found Deputy Craig awaiting him
in the dining-room. After an exchange
Of hot words the lie was given and
Deputy Craig, who is a tall, slim
gentleman, struck the Colonel, who is
tall and heavy built, blow in the
face. Colonel Fitzsimmons sprang
up, pursued the deputy to a corner Of
the room and threw him over a table
to the floor. The Colonel then fell
upon his antagonist and struck Craig
several blows upon the face before
they were separated by the walters and
guests of the hotel. Colonel Fitzsim-
mons escaped without scratch, but
Deputy Craig had his face bruised and
his eye discolored. The end is said
to be not yet.
