A Three Cornered Eight.

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. ia fight
occurred in the criminal division Of
the District court yesterday after
noon in which the presiding Judge,
G. r. Scott, Bailiff Savage and At
torney w. B. Bracket were in
volved. The court became furious
because the attorney took issue as
to a statement of fact and the lie
was passed and Scott ordered the
offender from the room and his
bailiff assaulted the lawyer. They
clinched and went to the floor,
while the honorable court danced
around the struggling men, ex-
pressing his wrath in undignified
terms.
Other lawyers interfered and
ended the fight.
The attorney was at once cited
to appear Monday to stand trial
for contempt.

lowed up. The Second Army Corps
after a forced march, was ap-
preaching, Moltke followed by
his staff, rode to its head. In the
lurid glare Of blazing village, the
German King stood by the way
side, stimulating the ardor Of his
slawart Pomeranians. Moltke,
Steinmetz and Franseky, the corps
commander, led the corps down in
to the ravine and up its farther
slope. AS the Pomeranians de-
ployed on the plateau the French
fire struck them fair in the face,
and a stream of fugitives helped to
carry them back. But Moltke
cheered them on through the grow.
ing darkness. Meanwhile the
King was sitting in a street of
Rezonville on plank, one end OF
which rested on a broken gun car
riage, the other on a dead horse.
The roar of the battle swelled
and deepened till the ground trem-
bled. From out of the passing
groups of soldiers no man stepped
to bring him news. Suddenly from
t he medley Of broken troops came
a great shout that grew in volume
as it rolled nearer. The hoofs Of
galloping horse ratified on the
causeway. A moment later, Moltke,
his face quivering with excitement
and his uniform covered with
blood and powder CRIME, sprang
from the saddle, and running to-
ward the King, cried out: at is
good for us; the position has been
retrieved, and the victory is with
your Majesty"
The battle of st. Privat was
probably the most striking ex-
ample Of French bravery in the
war. The Germans had taken
everything in the place but the
cemetery. There in the little stone
church that afforded shelter from
the rain Of shells, handful Of
Frenchmer moved down line after
line of the enemy. Against that
fame-fring 1 church, column after
column was sent, only to add its
bodies to the heaps Of slain. When
1t was all over and the Frenchmen
had been overwhelmed, the King
looked over the winrows Of the
dead and then tearfully sent
this dispatch to the Empress: 81
have today lost the flower Of my
guard" This fierce struggle will be
concentrated on the 18th, the
anniversary day, with a big cele-
bration by the First Brigade OF
Guards at Potsdam, at which the
Emperor has promised to be pres
ent. Tents will be erected for the
occasion on the Potsdam lustgar-
ten, and there will be illumina-
tions and dancing. The officers and
the veterans will be present at the
banquet during the afternoon in
front Of the cannons which were
taken during the battle
The round of celebrations will
practically come to an end Septem-
Der | with the ceremonies attend
ing the observance of Sedan Day.
This day will be generally cele-
brated throughout the Fatherland.
1t will be followed by the ceremony
of the Emperor's unwilling Of the
statue Of his father, Emperor
Frederick, at Woerth, both Of
which events will be occasions
when the Germans, one and all,
will ignore the popular delusion
about the growth OF French good
feeling toward Germany. The So.
cialist organizations have adopted
concurrent resolutions declaring
that they will take no part in the
celebrations, but there are no tears
shed over this action.

The Carnival of the Vest.

In the land of sunshine, fair South

grown up during the past two years
which adds one more attraction to the
beautiful country, and will cause many
a pilgrimage to its splendid metrOpo-
lis, Los Angeles. 1t is a carnival, which
has been called by the poetic name, La
Fiesta de Los Angeles, and takes place
in the month OF April from the 18th
to the 10th, when nature has donned
her most gorgeous raiment when the
air is balmy and full of the aroma of
fruits and flowers, which are poured
out in bewildering profusion in that
favored cline. The Fiesta occupies an
entire week, and into ii is crowded a
varied program, magnificent in con-
ception and splendid in execution. The
week begins with "A dainty spectacle,
most appropriate TO the occasion, the
reception of the queen of La Fiesta. the
