Two Members of the Idaho House In
dulge in a Fight.
Special Dispatch to the Standard
Boise, Idaho. Feb. 27.-Blood was shed in
the Idaho house of representatives to-day
The fight over the codification bill was
the indirect cause of hot words between
Representative Philetus Averitt of Fra
mont county, the leader of the democrat
ic-silver republican majority on the floor,
and Representative Alma A. Hess of FREE
mont. Hess was cut by a pocketknife in
the left side, the blade glancing from a
rib. causing a wound that, while not dan
gerous, resulted in Drofuse flow of
blood.
The trouble occurred while Representa-
tive Redwine, one of the leaders of the
persistent minority on the codification bill,
was speaking. There were no loud words.
Without any warning there were blows
struck and before any one on the floor of
the house realized what had happened,
Hess rushed from his seat to the speakers
desk, his face pale as death and his coat
and vest thrown back, pointing to
stream of blood. that flowed from his side,
saturating his shirt. In moment every
thing was confusion. Members rushed to
Hess and there were cries of Send for a
doctor!" "Some one get the sheriff. The
spectators on the back of the bar of the
house made a forward movement and the
galleries were in the greatest commo-
ton.
Speaker Evans, pale but calm, raped
vigorously with his gavel, ordering the
members back to their seats and endeav-
oring to calm excited men who were at
tempting to speak. Hess staggered out of
the hall, doctors were summoned and in
few minutes order was restored. Hess,
who is in the hospital, declined to cause
Averitt's arrest.
Tonight Hess made a statement at the
hospital substantially as follows: After
Hess had made the accusation Of corrup-
ton on Averitts part and the latter had
called him a liar, Averitt rising from his
seat in SO doing, Hess remarked that if
he had him outside he would give him
sound thrashing. At that time, according
to Hess, Averitt pulled his penknife from
his pocket. Averitt then resumed his seat.
The stage whisper argument continued
between the two men, becoming more
heated momentarily. Finally, Hess re-
lated Averitt againt arose and made a
flourish with his knife, and as Hess start
ed to rise, struck him with it. Hess
then struck him with his fist and ran to
the speakers desk.
Tonight some violent talk has been in
dulged in and more trouble is feared.
Representative Kingsley stated that he
would no longer sit in the house with Av-

QUAY TRIAL POSTPONED.
May Be Some Startling Developments
Very Soon.

Very Soon.
Philadelphia, Feb. 27.-On motion OF
District Attorney Rothermel, the Quay
conspiracy trial was to-day postponed
until April 10.
The Evening Bulletin says: No sooner
had the postponement been made than
it was declared by a high authority that
the cause for halt in the case was an
astounding discovery affecting the jury
panel. The officials in the district at
torney's office declined to discuss this.
Rumor has 1t that a case of imperson-
ating had been detected, but concerning
this no definite information was OBJ
tainable. Upon the question of tam
pering with the jury, the district at
torney made a most significant utter
ance in court, avoWing the postpone
ment was duty to the commonwealth.
Beyond that he refused to speak, save
to say it would be unwise to give his
reasons at present Il will not say a
thing about the jury panel" he said
finally.
