PHYSICIAN VS.. ATTORNEY.

Lively Rough-and-Tumble BILE Fight on the
streets of San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, June u.-Attorney
Otto Tum Suden and DR.. Marc Levings-
ton had rough-and-tumble fight on
Market street to-day. as result Of Lev
ingston's libel suit against members OF
the Civic Federation.
Levingston is a candidate for appoint
ment to the State Board of Health, and
the Civic Federation is fighting him. In
signed communication members of the
Federation alleged that Levingston was
unfit for the position, and cited acts OF his
while acting as Coroner of San Francisco
to support their allegatio, 4. Levingston
had the men who signed the article ar
rested for criminal libel, and their pre-
liminary examination commenced to-
day. Levingston, in answering ques-
tiOn, said that Tum Suden generally lied.
Later Tum Suden met the doctor on
the street and struck him in the face.
Tum SUDDEN says that DR.. Mizener, who
was with Levingston, struck him on
the jaw. and other friends struck him
to the ground. Then they pushed Lev
ingston OH to pound him, and later pun
meled him in lively style. For several
minutes the men fought and rolled on the
SlQ0Walk, klcklHR, DlIiug, ScTaIcnlng ana
swearing, while LevingstOns friends
kept those who wished to interfere at
bay. Finally policeman appeared and
arrested both combatants. They were
released later on their own recogniZance.
Levingston says that mis- friends gave
him no help. and that he licked Tum
SUDDEN unaided. Tum SUDDEN expresses
keen desire to beat Dr.. Mizener, who,
he says, struck him.

Los ANGELES, June u.-Fred. B. Ken

son, passed quiet night in the County
Jail. He appears calm and uncon-

says that there was no other cause than
that Lawsonf owed him $500 for services.
and refused to even discuss tbe matter,
much less pay the DEBT.
There is a story, however. to the effect
that Kennett believed that Lawson had
been slandering him. kennetts wife
died about week ago. and at the funeral
there was a hitch in the ceremony, q de-
lay of several hours and trouble about
minister. kennett had heard that Law
son circulated a story that he was drunk
at bis wife's funeral.
kennett's friends believe he ia insane.
He spent one whole night at the grave OF

No one saw the shooting except the

Crane of Davenport; Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor, A. b. Sterrett, of Humboldt; Su-
preme Judge. 1. w. Ivory of Mills
County; Superintendent of instruction,
E. j. Slanson of Sioux City.
The platform reaffirms the principles
of the Omaha platform, denounces the
late decision OF the Supreme Court on
the income tax, the recent acts of the
Government by injunction in the inter-
ests OF corporate wealth and the issue OF
interest bearing bonds.
On the financial question it says:
'sRecogniZing with satisfaction the ex-
preston OF individual opinions among
citizens, irrespective of party, in favor of
the restoration of silver to its cOnstitu-
tional place in the coinage of the country
at the ratio of 16 to !, we extend the right
hand of fellowship TO all men who are
willing to Join with US in the dethrone-
ment of the money power of Wall street
and Europe, and the emancipation OF the
producing classes of the world. We
further demand that until such time as
Government system OF finance can be
established, that all banking institutions.
national, State and private. may be re-
quired to give security to depositors for
all moneys received for deposits"
The platform also favOrs a graduated
State tax upon incomes, also State in
heritance tax, similar to New York and
Illinois; demands State tax of 10 per
cent. upon all future contracts made pay
able in gold, the same to be paid by the
holders, and also calls for the adoption Of
the initiative and referendum.
