The fight in which the private was
the victim was furious. though a short
one, and for a moment it looked as
though the Montanas were to be
plunged into the internecine strife that
has before threatened. all through the
Intrusion of a rank outsider.
Private Chapman had spent the bet
ter part of yesterday afternoon doing
the line of dives and gin mills that have
sprung up on Point Lobos avenue. near
Camp Merritt. His rotations corre-
sponded with his donations. and he
had donated all of his two months pay.
In fine fettle for a row, and with evil

into a crowd Of visitors who a gath

Lieutenant Conrad, and every man do

knocked down the ringleader with a
terrific blow of his fist, and then drew
his sword and belabored him over the

afternoon to solicit funds. The com
mittee reports having collected $500 in
a few hours, and that little or no oppo-
sition to the scheme was met with. The

the other features OF the celebration,
sports, music, etc.
1t is thought that the committee will
be able to raise a considerable sum of
money by the sale of privileges for the
Fourth. There will be ice cream stands,
lemonade, candy and pop corn ven-
ders and others, who will no doubt bid
well for the privilege of selling their
goods on the grounds during the cele-
bration.
The fireworks committee last evening
induced j. X. Waite, who represents an
Eastern company, to set off a few rock
cts. for the purpose of demonstrating
the merits Of his goods. Two big rock
cts, an eight-pounder and a f~our-pound-
err. were set off, together with other
pieces. The ef%ght-pound rocket was a
beautiful display. The big piece rose
to a height estimated at 5000 or 5000
feet. and II continued to display for
nearly Is minutes. AS soon as the
finance mmit can ascertain what
amount of money is at the disposal of
the fireworks committee negotiations
will be begun looking to the purchase of

PREACHER A FUGITIVE.
Texas officers Pursue Baptist Edito
In Vain.

Dallas. Tex. July 16-The Rev. S. A.
Herald. printed in this city, has a large
eial district court Of Dallas for 100000,
against the Rev J. B. Cranfill and other
B3aptists, Of prominence connected with
a rival of Rev. Hayden's paper.
About three weeks ago Judge Gray
granted the defendants injunction re-
straining Rev. Hayden from publishing in
his paper the pleadings in the case, or in
any way to comment in his paper on the
case. Judge Gray also held that Rev.
Hayden was in contempt of court be-
cause of what he had already printed con-
corning the case, but suspended judg-
ment
Rev. Hayden disregarded the Injunction,
and in his latest issue of the Baptist and
Herald printed more of the pleadingS and
more of his cauStic comments thereon.
Judge Gray yesterday started the sheriff
out with a warrant for the Rev Hayden,
with the intention of putting him in jail
for contempt, but the sheriff could not
find the preacher. Judge Gray started
him out again. Once more the sheriff
was unsuccessful.
judge Gray's instructions to the sheriff
now are to keep on hunting until he finds
the man. The sheriffs and chiefs of pO-
lice throughout Texas have been notified
to assist. Thus far none of them has struck
the Rev. Hayden's trail. No bloodhounds
are being used.

the Pelayo.

Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. July Is, via
Mole st. Nicholas, Hayu, July 16.-
There is a growing feeling here that
the flying squadron with COmmodoreS
Schley and Watson, and with the ad-
dition of three armored cruisers and
possibly one battleship, will sail for
Spain as soon as the campaign In San
tiagO de Cuba is concluded. This
event can not be put off many days,
and in an interview have just had
with Commodore Schley have been
led to infer that more than mere con-
lecture is in the wind
I saw the Commodore on the quarter
deck of the Brooklyn tonight, and in
the course of a ten minutes chat with
him asked what, in his opinion, would
be the next move after the capture and
surrender of Santiago. He said:
L can not tell at this time, but, Of
course, 1 have thought a great many
things. 1t would be manifestly i'm
proper for me to dtvulge any of the de-
partment's plans, even If 1 knew them.
I will say. however. that am more
than delighted with the great victory
our fleet has won here, and believe
we have done more, through the de-
structiOn of the formidable fleet of Ad-
miral CerVera, to prove to the people
of the United States the fighting quail
ity of our ships and men than was ever
done by any navy in the history OF the
world before.
have seen the magnificent manner in
which their ships and men behaved in
that grand fight. We had them
whipped from the start, both in fight
ing and speed, and nothing would
please me better than to cross to Cadiz
with this very ship and tackle the
PeIayo, that we hear so much about.
She's a battleship, manned by Span
iards; the Brooklyn is only protected
cruiser, but manned by Americans.
We're not supposed to be in her class,
but I'd be willing to make large bet
that we could show her she is not in
our class in less than twenty minutes.
Even though no orders have been

preparations are being made for long
cruise" I suggested.

KILLED RATS HIMsE1F.
Milwaukee Man Sells q Rat Poison
Which is of No Avail.

Milwaukee, July 16.-A peculiar case was
argued in Judge Johnson's court August
Nemitz purchased from Frederick Bardele
agency for a rat exterminatOr on
which -ardele held a patent Nemitz put
out large signs and advertised the rat
poisoner- He soon secured customers
He sold the stuff, it was fed to the rats
and the rats grew fat. The customers
came back in high dudgeon on Nemitz.
They wanted their money or they wanted
something that would kill the rats. Ne
mitz, confident that the rat poison was
good, went and tried it himself on the
rats He told in court today, in a graphic
manner, how, instead of killing the rats,
the compound made them grow sleek and
fat
He said that IN order to satisfy his GUS
go out and do the work which was sup
posed to be done by the rat exterminatOr.
He then put some real poison into the
Bardele mixture. and using the Bardele
trademark, he sold it and killed rats with
it, and now Bardele wants injunction
against Nemitz restraining him from using
his trademark.

OvERRUN WITH DEER.
Driven From Woods by Insects to In

Iron Belt, Wis. July 16.-Deer seem
to be exceedingly plentiful through the
northern part of the state this summer,
as groups of them can be seen coming
out of the woods during mornings and
evenings and meander through clear
ings and gardens. They seek the open
ines to escape the mosquitoes and flies
in the woods. They are very tame and
are unmindfuI of people or domestic
animals A number of young ones have
been caught by people of this and ad-
1acent towns and are being tanned. The
mild winter and little snow Of last
winter tended to their increase, as they
could escape the raVageS of the wolves,
which are usually rowing around plen-
tifuIlY in packs south of here.
