FOUGHT TO A FINISH,
7. ]. Clancy, Saloon.Keeper,
Defeats Deputy Sheriff
Edward Riley.
Riley Drew His Revolver, but Clancy
Succeeded in Wrestling It
From Him.

Patrons of the German Cafe, 226 Meal
lister street, were treated to an exhibition
of the manly art about half past Z O'Clock
last night, the participants being Deputy
Sheriff Edmund Riley and T. ]. Clancy,
the well-known saloon keeper of 222 Meal
lister street.
Riley has been owing Clancy bill for
money loaned and drinks amounting to
about SIG for over year and that was the
cause of the trouble.
Riley made a pass at Clancy, which
Clancy lodged. "Hold on said Clancy,
It'll | get up" He jumped to his feet
and the two had a rough and -tumb Bile fight,
in which Riley was worsted. Riley pulled
his revolver and grasping it by the barrel
made vicious blow at Clancy's head.
Clancy threw up his left arm and the butt
end OF the revolver struck him on the
hand, cutting it.
Fight fair, you coward" yelled Clancy !;
:! am unarmed." He grappled with
Riley and a hot struggle for the possession
OF the revolver followed and Clancy sue
ceeded i'll wrestling it from Riley. He put
1t in his pocket and said: 'Now come on
again. Let us fight this out with our
fsts.'
The fight continued for several minutes
longer, to the delight of about half dozen
spectators, till Riley yelled, Hold on I;
that's enough" With his face covered
with blood, he left the restaurant without
finishing his supper, and Clancy, after
washing the blood from his hands, sat
down and ate a hearty, meal. He retained
possession of Riley's revolver as trophy
OF his victory.

Hinckley was still Florence Blythe, she
entered into an agreement with Mrs. Kate
q. Perry, afterward Mrs. Byrnes, by the
terms of which Mrs. Perry was to receive
10 per cent OF whatever amount Florence
should get from the estate, provided, how
ever, that Mrs. Perry should not get more
than $5OO,O00. This agreement was made
in consideration of the fact that Mrs.
Perry had cared for Florence since her
childhood and had paid for her support
and education. Henry l. Kowalsky was
witness to the agreement, which was
dated March Il, 1892.
1t further appears from Kowalsky's ver-
sion of the case that "in consideration of
the professional services rendered by
Henry l. Kowalsky in the Blythe litiga-
tion," Mrs. Perry, on March 80, 1892,
turned over to him $45, 900 of her prospec-
tive 10 per cent, and on the same day she
gave him SIS, 900 more Of her claim.
1t is alleged that Mrs. Hinckley is willing
to pay over the amount of the claims, but
Mrs. Byrnes has notified her not to do so,
as the agreements under which they are
demanded are invalid. The complaint
asks that the amount due Mrs Byrnes
from Mrs. Hinckley be determined, and
that the $4,000 claimed to be due the
plaintiff be made a first lien on Mrs.
Byrnes' claim, and that Mrs. Hinckley be
compelled to pay the same.

A Wise Judge.

A curious Judgment was pronounced
the other day by judge in court of law
at Volisso, in the island of Scio. An action
for damages was brought by two persons
against the local railway company for
losses sustained by a collision. 1t ap.
peared that man had lost an arm and a
young woman had lost her husband. The
Judge, Greek, assessed the damage thus:
He gave 5000 piasters to tie man for the
loss of his arm and 2000 to the woman for
the loss of her husband. At this there
were loud murmurings, whereupon the
Judge gave his reasons i'll these terms:
my dear people, my verdict must rem ain,
for you will see it is a just one. Poor
Nikola has lost his arm and nothing on
earth can restore that priceless limb. But
you (turning to the woman)-you are still
young and pretty. You have now some
money, you will easily find another hus-
band, who possibly may be as good as
perhaps better than-your dead lord.
That is my verdict, my people, and SO it
must go forth" So saying the Judge lett
the hall. The people cheered him and
congratulated themselves on having such 8

90S Broadway, March IA.
The Alameda County delegation of the
Third District Congressional committee
held lively meeting tonight that was
succeeded by some lively demonstrations
in the lobby. By vote of five to one the
deadlock was broken, and the delegates to
the State Convention will be named by the
committeeman of the various Assembly
Districts, and no primaries will be ordered
The meeting opened with all the six
mbers present. e. X. Taylor's first
motion to order primaries met with the
same vote as at the last two meet.
Ings. Senator Earl and George Morrow
voted with Taylor and G. Long, w. Nor
rison and c. L. Ingler voted against him.
Morrow then offered resolution provid-
ing that as there was deadlock with nc
possibility of it being broken the delegates
be nominated by petitions containing not
less than the names of 100 Republicans.
The county State Committeeman were
then to select the delegates. This was de-
feated by the same vote.
Morrow and Earl then retired for few
minutes, and while they were away a
powerful delegation from the Second Ward
arrived with resolution, which they had
just passed, approving of the stand taken
by Earl, Morrow and Taylor for pri-
maries, and demanding that primaries be
ordered. After the reading of the resolu-
ton, Long offered motion that the seiec-
ton of delegates be made by the committee
of each Assembly district, and that the
responsibility for the selection rest upon
the committeeman. An argument fol-
lowed, during which Earl and Morrow ex-
changed some sharp passages. When q
vote was taken Earl was the only oppo-
nent. He explained that he was more
than ever convinced that the people at
large desired primaries and was in favor OF
doing their will.
There was much indignation expressed
anon, the big lobby, and some bold
threats were made. DR.. Carpenter said
that if the Third Congressional District
Committee accepted the recommendation
of the Alameda County members the
various ward clubs would hold primaries,
and the fight would be carried to the con-
vention at Sacramento. P. M. Fisher
stated that the doings of the committee
would disrupt the party as it had done in
the past, and said such work was the
reason why Oakland had Popuiist Mayor.
and there were several Populist officials
in county which is Overwhelmingly Re-
publican.
There was much indignation shown at
the decision of the committee, and Sena-
tor Earl was congratulated by the Second
Ward delegation upon his stand.
The Third Congressional District Com
mittee's meeting, that was to have been
held in San Francisco to-day. was post
poned till next Saturday.

Mrs. Sarah Mcconnell of 400 Harrison
street swore out warrants in Judge Camp
bells court yesterday for the arrest of
Charles A. Bailey, the druggist at. Grant
avenue and Sutter streets, and for Otto
Jackson, clerk in Carrolls drugstore on
Market and Stockton street. The charge in
both instances was for selling opium with
out physicians prescription. Bailey and
Jackson were arrested and released on 5000
bonds.
The warrants are the outcome of the
conviction of J. w. Hall, who was SEN
fenced by Judge Campbell on Friday to
six months in the County Jail for vag-
rancy. Mrs. Hall, the mother of the
young man, asked the Judge to inhict the
fullest penalty, as it might save her son
from the opium habit.
Mrs. Mcconnell is merely acting in the
ca pacity of principal witness for Mrs. Hall,
who is her friend, and is determined to
bring to justice those who she claims are
responsible for the young mans downfall.
Young Hall had formerly been one of
the members of w. E. Sheridan's theatre

them not to sell the drug to her son, but
they had paid no attention to her plead

At the suggestion of the Judge she OBJ
tanned the assistance of Mrs. Mcconnell,
who purchased opium from both the drug
stores and swore out the warrants yester-
day morning.
The Judge intimated on Friday, in SEN

proved against the offending druggists he
