came in for chance hits with an umbrella
which was brandishsd by Kings friend
Mason. Tables and chairs were Knocked
about, but before the police could be sum-
moned the riot was quelled by the pso-
prietor and his walters
The bowie knife was the immediate and.
fortunately. innocent cause of the dis
turbanee. The Rough Rider. who appeare
to be friend of Kernell, joined the come
dian and party of friends, among whom
were King and Mason, at one of the side
tables, and the talk turned on the late
campaign at Santiago. The Rough Rider
took from his belt long bowie kn fe, an /
1t was passed around the table from hand
to hand.
Kernell admired the knife, and the
Rough Rider presented it to him as a SOU
venir of the war. King finally succeeded
in coaxing it away from the comedian and,
putting it in his pocket, skipped out of tn :
room. When he returned a few minutes
later Kernell angrily demanded the return
of the knife. and King fatty refused 10
give it up.
With eyes blazing with rage, Kernell
sprang to his feet. upsetting his chair. an /,

self, and as he turned to make for the
door he was felled with a terrible swing
under the right ear. While this was going
on Mason struck savagely at Kernell with
his umbrella, but the blows took effect on
the heads and arms of those who were try
Ing to separate the fighters.
While Kernell was struggling in the
arms of half dozen men King was pixie
up and excitedly explained why he had
taken the knife, saying that he would re-
turn it to Kernell. He also offered to for
give Kernell and shake hands with him,
but the latter responded with yolleys o.
abuse and threats TO lick him again at
the first opportunity. During the row the
Rough Rider disappeared.
Finally Kernell was induced to put on
his coat and leave the place. and King, af-
ter wiping the blood from his face de-
parted carrying with him the original
cause of the row.
