GET INTO A FIGHT.
Two Young Men Quarrel and Shed
Blood on the Street.

Two young men, one Of them Santa
Fe office clerk. and the other a grocery
clerk, had a lively fight at the corner
of Sixth and jackson streets Saturday
evening about O'Clock.
H. T. Whittlesey, the Santa Fe Office
man, had his head cut by a pair of
brass knuckles which ]. B. Payne, the
grocery clerk, used on him. Payne, in
turn received the same kind of a cut
which was made by a broken brick
which Whittlesey used. Chief Gardi-
ner and Detective Zeller happened to
be walking near where the fight was
in progress, and they stopped it and
took the two young men to the police
station where their names were regis
tered Both were bleeding and their
collars and shirts were covered with
blood. Friends of the young men put
up IS each for security.
Payne claims that Whittlesey came
to the Lux grocery store and called him
out. When he was out, Whittlesey
called him a bad name, and then the
trouble began. Payne had a pair of
brass knuckles and Whittlesey made
use of a brick. Each received cuts on
the back of the head, and considerable
blood was spilled. The trouble has
been brewing between them for some
time, it is said.

THE SAME OLD TROUBLE.
Nick ChiIes, Must be Petted However
Because He is a Politician.

The % prisoners at the city Jail
struck this morning on the food which
Nick Chiles furnished them on behalf
of the city, and refused to eat it or to
go to work on the stone pile.
Police Matron Thorpe is the food in
spector for the city jail, and she found
that not enough food had been furnish
ed for all the prisoners, and what was
more. it was unfit to eat The prison
ers absolutely refused to eat it, and
the police matron under the orders of
the police commissioners, ordered q
breakfasts from Frank Longs, and
about $50 the hungry prisoners receiv-
ed a good breakfast.
Nick Chiles is allowed 10 cents a
meal for food furnished the city Jail.
When the food is not what it should be
the police matron has orders to pro-
cure it from some other restaurant and
the amount is deducted from ChileS
monthly food check.
Some time ago Police Matron
Thorpe had trouble with ChileS over
the food, and meals had to be ordered
from another place
The police commissioners met and re-
scinded the contract with Chiles
Csl1iles rnarshalled his forces and call
ed on Gov. Morrill,. Some pressure
was brought to bear and the police
commissioners met again and gave the
contract back to ChileS at 10 cents per
meal When Chilesf contract was re-
scinded the commissioners awarded
the contract to Frank Long at 9 cents
a meal
ChiIes was given to understand said
President A K. Rodgers of the police
commissioners at that time, that if
any more complaint was made of his
food or if he was saucy to Mrs. Thorpe
the contract would be annulled for
good.

Topeka played her old trick Satur-
day by making four runs in the first
inning. This discouraged Horton and
the big crowd felt sorry for the visitors.

was a disappointment to the crowd, for
the thirteen inning game of the day be
fore made the baseball fans enthusi-
astic.
Errors were frequent when the HOr-
tons had the field, and they had ten
of them charged against them. To-
peka made seven.
Hoffmeister and Fox would have
done better had their. support been
more steady. Redmond and Hall pleased
the crowd and put up good ball The
