BASEBALL TOUGHS.
Cleveland Reporter Assaulted by Te-
beau and O'COnnOr.

CLEVELAND, Oct. IA story is printed
here to the effect that Patrick Tebeau,
captain and manager of the Cleveland base
ball club, last night assaulted and badly
injured Elmer Pasco, a reporter for an
afternoon newspaper. The affair is al
legged to have AXE place in the barroom of
the Kennard House. Tebeau charged
Pasco with writing for his paper an ex-
aggerated account of the recent trouble
between himself and left fielder McAleer.
The discussion waXed hot and the lie was
soon passed, resulting in Pasco being
knocked down by Tebeau. The bartender
then went between the two, and, while he
was demonstrating with Tebeau, Jack
O'Connor, also of the Cleveland baseball
club, also struck the reporter. The latter
was taken to the toilea room and his
wounds washed, while Tebeau went home.
Pasco refuses to have Tebeau arrested.
Tebeau said tonight that he struck the
newspaper man, and if he had 1t to do over
again he would do the same. The reporter,
he declared, was intoxicated and insisted
upon talking to him. They had words over
an article the reporter had written about
Tebeau, and finally the former called
Tebeau a liar. Even then, Tebeau says he
attempted to laugh the matter off, but the
struck him and then he retaliated.
Tebeau's story is corroborated by a by
stander. Catcher O'Connor took a hand in
the affair after Tebeau had quit and he
beat the reporter severely.

Job In disgust. Governor Matthews has
been very anxious to have the row
smoothed over in some way so that he may
get hat vote In his senatorial fight. and
through his pleaGings a meeting of the
chairmen of the three counties was held
last Friday. They decided that inasmuch
as the party was now for silver and Shea
had been the original silver man, 1t would
be better to give IL to him, particularly
as Shea's supporters vowed they would de-
feat Voigt at the polls. and they so voted.
Voigt's friends would not give up thus
easily. however. and appealed the case to
the full State committee. Accordingly,
when Mr.. Martin decided yesterday to call
the committee to-day to smooth down the
ruff1ed feathers of the candidates. he noti-

ing back to town last evening and took a
room at the Grand, where he called the
leaders of both sides and tried to make
them understand that the thing must be
settled and settled his way. that is in favor
OF Shea. Both the principals in the row are

TOM wATsON'S LETTER.
1t Is Being Suppressed by the Popu-

last evening from Thomas Watson, Popu-
list candidate for the vice presidency,
stating that his letter of acceptance was
in the hands of Chairman Butler, of the
Populist national committee. The Populist
who. received the message visited Watson
at his home last week and was shown as
much of this letter as had been completed.
He declares that Watson handles the ma
tional committee without gloves for the
way it has ignored him in the fusion deals
throughout the country. Butler is proba-
bly, smothering the letter. Watson is con-
fined to his home with tonsilitis and has
been compelled to abandon his Western
tour. He will therefore not speak in In
dianapolis.
