ASSAULT ON EDITOR
MERRITT
Ex-Congressman Blackburn
Attacks Him in Lobby OF
Battery Park Hotel.
Especial to Charlotte observer.)

Ash9ville, N. c., Sept. S.-A sensational
fist fight occurred here tonight at the
Battery Park Hotel. where large num-
Der of men of prominence are assembled
to await the arrival of the President to-
morrow. Editor Fred Merritt, of the
Citizen, this afternoon published the fol-
lowing:
''The Roxboro Courier says that a
Northern paper prints a sensational
story to the effect that the financee Of
Congressman e. Spencer Blackburn de-
clarcs that their wedding is conditional
rpon mis- reelection to Congress. If
that is true. then there'n be no we'd
eing-unless the Drummer Boy chooses
another bride"
Tonight when Editor Merritt entered
the lobby of the hotel Congressman
Blackburn, who had for hours been on
the lookout for the object of his anger,
made lunge at him. The assault on
Merritt was probably unexpected for by
ISLANDERS say that the Congressman
struck him several blows in the face
before he began to retaliate in kind.
A scene of wild confusion followed.
Many ladies ran from the lobby, while
men rushed forward to stop Blackburn.
One cf the first to take hold of him
was an Alabama gentleman in evening
clothes. He had scarcely touched the
infuriated Congressman before he was
knocked down by H. c. Cowles, of
Statesville. Senator Pritchard also step
ped forward and made it known that no
one must interfere with Blackburn while
he was resenting an insult not only to
Blackburn himself but to the Congress
mans intended bride. Senator Pritchard
said afterwards that every lady in the
hotel approved of Mr.. Blackburn's course,
S. d. Gibbs, of Hyde county, who at last
succeeded in separating the combatants,
said that Mr. Merritt's face was covered
with blood as he was being led to his
room.
