Fought on Board the
 Nome City.

It is learned by letter received from a passenger on the outgoing Nome City that It. $. Ryan. a well known Nome politician, and C. $. Backett, an attorney from the same place, caused a riot on the vessel. says the Council City News.
 It appears that the beligerent "cir had drank rather freely of champagne, Ond with the desire to exchange con lidences which that beverage impartS. they sat down and began to relate to each other their past and future his tories. In the course of conversation Blackett made a disparaging assertion about the Irish nembers of parliament, and the lie was passed.
 "ChCOse your weapons" said Ryan in his most grandiloquent manner.
 All right" replied Blackett, and suiting the action to the word reached into barrel of pickled salmon bellies and using one for club, dealt Ryan a squashy blow on the cheek bone.
 Ryan closed with his antagonist, and, securing a half-Nels0n hold with one hand, he grabbed salmon belly with the other and proceeded to grind it into Backett's face, giving him the flavor of an Eskimo who had neglected his morning ablutions for some time past. Then he grabbed Blackett and proceeding to roll it overheard when the captain appeared and stopped the battle. Ryan now thinks that he has vindicated the honor and dignity Ofihe Irish politicians, and Blackett's friends say that the odor hanging around him reminds them of asquaw man.

being temporarily insane His actions had
been somewhat peculiar of late and while go
ing from New York to Boston, in company
with his brother, he became insane and on ar
irving at Boston he was taken to the Mclean
asylum. 1t lie hoped that the attack is only
temporary one. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Smith was at one time sergeant

that he spoke at the Fish and Game League

when Vice President Roosevelt was present
and also last fall at Montpelier.
