CONGREssMEN IN FIGHT.

United States Senator JamesP. Clarke
and Representative S. Brundidge were
principals in personal encounter yes
terday in front Of tie Capitol Hotel in
Little Rock, Ark. The trouble original
ed in a newspaper interview wherein
Brundidge critised Clarke for refusal to
accept Senator Berry as escort when
Clarke was sworn in as Senator. When
the two men met yesterday Clarke took
Brundidge to task. The result was that
they exchanged blows, Brundidge being
struck on the head several times, and
Clarke receiving blow or two from
Brundidge before they could be separat-
ed. Representative Crisp, who witness
sed the difficulty, says he saw Brundidge
approach Clarke and heard him say:
.How do you do, Senator" holding
out his hand at the same time; "glad to
see you"
Clarke replied: "Fllnotshake hands
with you"
"All right" remarked Mr.. Brundidge
indifferently.
Then Mr.. Clarke said: "What is this
YOU have been doing, being interviewed
by the newspapers and meddling with
things that don't concern your"

Mr.. Brundidge, ''and l have not said
anything that would not have said to
YOU. / said l thought you had made a
mistake, and say so now to you"
81 don't want any Of your ID
friendship" retorted Senator Clarke.
Clarke then said. 'fYou're ID
skunk, to which Brundidge replied,
srYou're another ID skunk"
Continuing, Mr.. Crisp said ''Sena-
tor Clarke then struck at Mr.. Brundidge,
who returned the blow almost at the
same instant. I grabbed Clarke's arm,
and Mr.. Rembert caught Mr.. Brun-
didee's arm. While we were attempting
TO separate them, Clarke struck Brun-
didpe on the head three times and Brun-
didee struck him with his fist, also with
his umbrella. The umbrella handle was
broken. At this iuncture the police in
tefered, and the pressure Of the crowd
about the combatants prevented further
hostilities."
There are three contusions on the top
of Brundidge's head. The wounds bled
profusely, and his white shirt front was
