Louis FeinsiIber Nursing a Pretty
Black Eye, Received on Seventh
Street.

A gentle zephyr surcharged with COM
bativeness, undoubtedly waited from
the foot hills of Carson City, New,
disported itself about st. Paul We'd
nesday with the result that prominent
citizens in different portions Of the
city, drawing their pugilistic inspira-
ton from the balmy ozone, were the
principals in three separate exhibit
lens Of the manly art of self defense.
One of them was arrested, another is
nursing a black eye in gentlemanly
silence and a warrant is out for the
third on the charge of assault and bat
terry.
The pugnacious spirit of the evening
was first manifested at the saloon at
203 West Third street, where, shortly
before 6 o'clock, a number of German
citizens were discussing politics. Hugo
Driese, the president of the H. E.
Driese Cigar company, No. Is East
Sixth street, and a Democrat, was in
conversation with Peter Boland,
Charles Matthias, a Republican, and
ex-Register Of Deeds Henry Weber.
In reply to a remark of Mr.. Matthias
regarding the local Democracy, Mr..
Driese stated that he knew some Dem
ocrats who stacked up rather favor
ably with some Republicans of his ac-
quaintance Michael Defiel, president
of the Peoples Ice company and a
relative Of one Of Mayor Doran's recent
appointees, who was playing cards at
a near by table, and who was not
taking part in the political argument,
took exception to Mr.. Dresses state
ment.
That's a ID lie," he shouted,
and before the company realized what
had happened, rushed at Mr.. Driese
and dealt him a powerful blow be-
tween the eyes. Mr.. Driese possesses
a large, athletic physique, being over
six feet tall, but not wishing the noto-
riety of a saloon fight, merely ex-
pressed his opinion of his assailant and
left the place Afterward Mr.. Defiel
apologized for his hasty action.
The next encounter took place in an
East Seventh street saloon, where b. q.
Leveroos, Of the clothing firm of Floan
& LeVeroos, 203205 East Seventh street,
called Louis Feinsilber, a young traV-
cling man, up to the bar to drink with
him, and with a few explanatory
words more expressive than elegant,
promptly knocked GOWN nus guest OL
the moment. LeveroOs, it is said, fol-
lowed up his advantage with several
rapid body blows, when mutual friends
stopped the fight and allowed Feinsil-
Der to take refuge in a back room.
The trouble in this instance is said to
have arisen from the fact that both
men are paying attention to the same
charming young woman. Feinsilber
yesterday swore out a warrant for
Leveroos arrest, which will be served
this morning.
1t was 1890 o'clock when the third
row took place outside of a Fourth
street cigar store The proprietor and
a business man, who gave the name of
James Smith at the central police sta
tion undertook to adjust a difficulty 4
la COrbett-F itzsimmOns, and, when Of
fcer Lynch broke through a crowd Of
spectators surrounding the combatants,
the commercial lights had gotten down
to London prize ring rules. Both men
were arrested, but one of them, the cigar
dealer, requested permission to lock up
his store, which he did from the inside
and gave the officer and his antagonisc
the sardonic ha! ha! through the plate
glass window. James Smith" went
to the central station on the charge Of
disorderly conduct, but was later bailed
out by friends
