POOL ROOMS ,14Kn 1uouBIn.


Two men SAOt In q E01c0D saturday
Night. 4stg
The pool room Of a coleped man named
Lee Hayes. corner Of 19tht and L streets
northwest, was the scene Dfo q. a.swholesala
fight Saturday night about 40 oclock, which
came near resulting In thd killing Of the
proprietor and q scustomery. and injury to
others. Robert Lee. q coiered man who al
ways causes trouble when he is under the
Influence of liquor. had been drinking Sat-
urday evening, and he is responsible for all
the trouble. He had indulgsd In a fight be-
fore he reached the pool room. Not salts
fed with the one fight, he started another
with William Boxley, whoxwas in charge OF
the place.
not only were the gamesiinterrupted, but
the players fled. Bricks were thrown, and
Lees conduct was SO bad that Boxley drew
a pistol to defend himself from the assault.
He fired two shots, and both bullets took
effect. There was not much force to the
weapon. and for that reason the proprietor
of the place was able to appear in court
today.
One of the bullets had struck him in tho
back between his shoulders, but there was
not force enough to bury it in the flesh,
and only slight flesh wound was received.
Ihe other bullet struck Robert Douglass in
the arm and disabled him.
Policeman Maddox Of the third precinct
responded when he heard the pistol shots,
and arrested both Robert Lee and William
Roxley. Lee would have continued fight
Ing had he not known the policeman who
had him in charge. Although Boxley had
used the pistol, the officer thought he was
justified in doing 80, but he did not care
to take the responsibility of releasing him,
and so he held him on a charge Of assault,
This morning the party appeared in the
Police Court, and Judge Miller heard the
cases. Robert Douglass, whose arm had
been injured by one Of the bullets, was still
suffering from the effects of the wound,
but he had no complaint to make against
Boxley, fer he knew that the latter had
shot at Lee.
None of the witnesses had a good word
to say for Lee, and his own statement con-
vinced the court of his guilt. He was
given eight months in jail, and Boxley was
acquitted.
Arthur Davis and Walter Lucas, young
colored men, were in the court on a charge
OF theft. and their trouble was also the re-
suit OF visit to a pool room. This pool
room 1s on Fenton street. and on the night
that coat was stolen the defendants
were in there. They were seen to leave the
place and .'eturn. Then it was that they
arranged to steal the coat. Detective Lacy
made the arrests and recovered the coat
from where 1t had been disposed Of.
Judge Miller heard the witnesses tell of
the pool room theft, but made no comment
on the fact that SO much lawbreaking re-
suits from such places. The prisoners were
given two months in JAIL

To Prevent the Erection of a Porch.

To Prevent the Erection of n Porch
4 bill in equity has been filed by Patrick
OFarrell against Clarence F. Norment, to
prevent the erection by Mr.. Norment of a
porch on the latter's house on 14th street,
Columbia Heights. Mr.. O'Farrell claims
that the porch not only cuts off his view,
but has also prevented the sale of one of
his houses. The continuity of the building
line will be broken, states Mr.. OFarrell,
and he charges that the erection of the
porch will be in violation of stipulation
required by Senator John Sherman, who
Formerly owned the land, that no building
should be erected within thirty feet Of the

A Lively Runaway mt 9th Street and
Pennsylvania Avenue.
This morning about $50 o'clock there
was q runaway on 9th street, which came
near having serious results. A big gray
horse, drawing one Of Stephenson's ex-
press wagons. and driven by Daniel E. Lit
tie. became unmanageable on. 9th street
and started madly toward the avenue. The
driver could do nothing with him beyond
keeping him on a course and avoiding other
vehicles. He came to the tracks on the
avenue just as 14th street car, bound
west, was coming along. The grip car
struck the horse about the head. The
front part Of the wagon was broken and
the driver was thrown six or eight feet
up in the air. Fortunately he fell clear Of
the cable car and only received some
bruises about the shoulders. Otherwise he
was not injured. He was taken to the
Emergency Hospital, where he was given
medical attention. The horse was killed.

Editorial From Augusta Chronicle.
NOT A GENUINE CIRCULAR.
GEORGE S. MURpHEY.

Editorial From Augusta Chronicle.
NOT A GENUINE CIRCULAR.
We publish this morning COM
munication from Mr.. George s. Mar
phey, in which he calls attention to
q circular which he says has been
sent out from Democratic headquar-
ters in the interest Of Governor At
kinson. Mr.. Murphey is right in
supposing that the Chronicle is igno-
rant of any such "secret circular"
and we do not give it the slightest
credence. now that we heard aboutit.
AS Mr.. Murphey says he has seen
it, and sends us clippings from other
papers condemning it, we do not, of
course, mean to imply that there is
no such circular in existence, but we
believe it to be campaign docu.
ment prepared by the enemies OF
Governor Atkinson, and secretly sent
out to injure him.
The Democratic campaign is in
charge of Chairman Steve Clay, and
it is probable that any circular
specially bearing on Governor Akin
sons candidacy would be submitted
to him before it was put in circula-
ton. AS neither Governor Atlxin-
son nor Chairman Clay is crazy, we
feel no hesitation in asserting that
they never sent ont any such out
rsgeous document. Until thsre is
submitted to us some evidence that
such circular has been sent out by
Chairman Clay, we feel justified in
asserting that it is a connection OF
Governor Atkinson's enemies, which
is being secretly circulated as though
from Democratic headquarters, but
as matter OF fact, from the head
quarters of the enemy. Under this
belief we refrain, st least for the
present, from republishing the clip
pings enclo'ea in Mr.. Murphey's
communication, because we think
the papers have been humbugged by
fraudulent circular which is mas
querading as a Democratic campaign
document.

FIVE HUSBANDS APIECE
How Ehe Women OF Thibet Avoid
WidOwhoOd

Just at this time SO many ladies
are apparently finding one husband
too many. Mrs. Isabella Bishop
contributes a chapter on how the
women OF PARKWAY Thibet are hap
py as the day is long with four or
live husbands. Their determination
to stick to many husbands, instead
OF one, is thus far the insurmounts-
bic obstacle to converting these
Thibetans to Christianity. Mrs
Bishop says;
"The Thibetan eldest son is the
principal member of the family.
When they reach certain age even
his father and mother must step
down and out and go into small
house, leaving him the main estab-
lishment. There he takes his bride.
He is her ''frst man," so to speak,
but along with him she takes as
husbands all his brothers, be the
number great or small. The more
brothers he has the more husbands
she. The women ali like it, and &C.
clare they would not have it other
wise for the world. owe have
three or four men to help us instead of
one" they say. The stupidity and
monotony Of living with just one
husband, European fashion, are ap-
palling to them, and they pity their
European sisters sincerely. Here is
their unanswerable logic: "If l had
only one husband and he should die
would be q widow; if l had two or
three | am never widow, See?" 1t
is the custom for al her acquaintance
to make present Of money to the
Thibetsn bride: With this she lea
ses a field for herself and its crops
are henoeforth for her own use -ex.
clusively. 1t is rather odd that
polyandry was introduced among the
Thibetans originally as an economic
measuze,so that the population should
not outrun the means subsistence
