A SCRAP OVER POLITICS.

In an Encounter.

In an Encounter.
States Attorney Charles j. Searle
and j. E. Jackson, district deputy or
ganizer for the Modern Woodmen,
had an encounter on Second avenue,
between Sixteenth and Seventeenth
streets this morning, the difficulty
growing out of q dispute as to the
alleged circulation of political stories
anent Mr.. Searle's candidacy for the
republican congressional nomination.
Searle was walking west on his way
to his Office in the court house when
he halted in response to a call
from Jackson. Jackson. a near as
the facts can be ascertained, told
Searle that he had misrepresented
him when he said that he, Jackson,
had told false stories about him and
he felt he was entitled to an apology.
Searle replied apologies were not
necessary. Jack son inferred that was
an admission Searle had lied about
him, whereupon Searle let go
his right, and landed on Jackson's
face, drawing blood. jackson picked
up q brick, evidently intent on hand
ing it TO his adversary, when ). r.
Wright interfered and put an end to
the fracas. II is understood the cir
cum stances of the affair 90 back n
couple of days, when Mr.. Searle is ac-
cused of having opened the contro-
versy between the two, charging Mr..
Jackson with having circulated reports
to him in his canvass for
and that Jackson thereupCn
offered to prove to Searle this was not
the case, and that the latter REUSED
to accept the suggestion of Jackson in
This respect. Eye witnesses of this
fracas take the part of
