ALAMEDA, CAL, Oct. IA personal
encounter between Editor e. L. Marshall
of the TELEGRAM and City Veterinary DR..
Thomas Carpenter, attracted considerable
sttenti tion on PARK street this afternoon.
Twelve or more heavy blows were struck
by the participants before Police Officer
Welch interfered.
Four months ago an article appeared in
the Telegram rejecting on Carpen ter,
which the doctor resented. He'toid Mar
shall what he thought of him. but no blows
were struck. Last week Marshall began
printing articles rejecting upon the doc
tors medical qualifications in a joking
way. To-day they met, and trouble en-
sued. The encounter, as seen by Z. u.
Vandour, is related thus:
"As they neared one another DR.. Car
penter stared Marshall in the face and
Missed, Dirty cur Marshall struck out
quickly with his right hand, catching
Carpenter on the left jaw, near the ear.
Carpenter had both hands bandaged as a
result of recent bicycle tumble. He
used them to good advantage, and after
two or more blows each Marshall either
fell or slipped. While he was partially
down Carpenter hammered him in the
face four or five terrific blows. Marshall
then got up and again attacked Carpenter.
Officer w elch separated them and Marshall
went home.
"Dr. Carpenter was no match for Mar
shall in such condition. but | think
honors are even. He punished Marshall
enough when he was down TO make up for
what he received himself. Marshall's lip
was bleeding and his eye blackened."
Carpenter was on the street shortly after
the affair, and laughingly offered to put
~, goo for another hOut T0-niOht Mr.
Marshall said: "All want to say is that l
considered that l was insulted and re-
sented it, as any man should. That is all
there is to it"
Officer Welch swora to complaint late
tonight and had both Carpenter and
Marshal arrested. They were released
upon giving bail.
