A WARD SLUGGER THRASHED.
One Eye Knocked Out, Kicked and
Badly Beaten.

SPRINGFIELD Qll), April pal
derman Buck Mccarthy of Chicago, the
famous slugger of the Twenty ninth
Ward, was badly thrashed this morning
by William Webb, also of the fighting
Twenty ninth. One eye was nearly
knocked out and he was thrown down,
kicked and beaten.
The row occurred in the headquarters
of the Second Congressional District in
the Leland Hotel. Buck was in a bad
humor over the distribution of some
delegate tickets and began to threaten
Webb Webb did not wait for trouble,
but began it himself. He led out with
his right and knocked Buck over a
chair The next blow caught the AL
derman under the chin and the third
sent him to the floor.
Webb then varied the proceedings by
kicking his PROSTATE foe in the head,
and when Mccarthy was rescued he
was covered with blood, and was nearly
unconscious. He was taken to his
room, where a physician attended him,
and later in the day appeared on the
floor of the convention with both eyes
nearly closed and the general appear
ance of having had an argument with
a threshing machine.
Several other statesmen also became
mixed up in the row and number of
them had battered heads when the
hostilitieS ended.
