OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,

sos Broadway, May 81.
There was genuine bare-knuckle con-
test on the narrow gauge ferry-boat that
left San Francisco al 6:45 tonight. The
principals were DR.. Louis Y. Cranz and
DR.. C. B. Cahusac, and the cause of the
encounter was an alleged insult to DR..
Cranz's wife and daughter by DR.. Cahusac.
The fight lasted several minutes, and the
crowd that always crosses the bay at that
time made no effort TO stop the contest
ants, as they both showed an inclination
to play fair. Finally the captain left the
pilot-house and went on the lower deck
and separated the angry medicos.
DR.. Cahusac got decidedly the worst Of
it all the way through, and his knuckles
were bleeding freely at the close. His
face showed marks of punishment and he
was greatly in need of breath.
DR.. Cranz did not altogether escape
punishment, but his Camages were COM
paratively slight.
During the encounter enough express
sions escaped the mems lips TO let the in
terested throng know that a woman was
st the bottom of the whole affair, but the
doctors were so excited that it was difficult
to tell who was the aggrieVed or who was
the transgressor.
After being separated DR.. Cranz rushed
over to his painting adversary and shouted
with appraised fist:
ali you don't apologize to me before to-
morrow I'll beat the life out of you"
AS the men left the boat they were
asked regarding the trouble. DR.. Cranz
spoke very freely. He said:
That man Cahusac vas a neighbor of
ours for e long time. Ny office is in San
Francisco, and live at 1411 st. Charles
street, Alameda. Cahusac is an auditor
or something in Mr.. Wilder's office. He
poses as doctor. Some time ago he of:
Tered an insult to my little daughter. She
told her mother and Mrs. Cranz, fearing
my wrath, did not at once tell me. After
that he attempted to make love to my
wife aud has followed up his attentions,
and at last she told me of his insults.
u found him on the boat tonight and
I demanded an immediate apology. He
refused to apologize, and 1 proceeded tc
satisfy myself some other way. Unless be
apologies will thrash him every time We
meet.
Il befriended him some time ago wher
he was hard up, and he repays me by in
sulting my family. If he does not apollo
SAIC NO-A IL SA4dAA NUM- hin ny bO-LAOl
row. l shall report his conduct TO Mr.
Wilder, and 1 do not think the railroad
will care to retain such an employee"
DR.. Cahusac was surprised at his treat
ment He handed out card which read
DIR. C. B. Cahusac, 1416 st. Charles street
Alameda" He lives at present at 326
Central avenue.
1T is all a surprise TO me-" said DR.
Cahusac tonight. ave have always been
friends, and l am at loss to account for
it at all. l am sure that DR.. Cranz has az
grievance against me, and l refuse to
apologize. 1t is all very strange. 1 sup.
pose / shall get the worst of it, but really
don't know what it all means"
DR.. Cahusac did not ride up from tn,
mole in the same coach with DR.. Cranz.
