FREE FIGHT ON CAR.
Young People in Intoxicated Condition
 Two Girls Faint.

A most disgraceful and disgusting in cident occurred last night on the last inbound car from the Momauguin. About dozen young people of both sexes, whose ages ranged from fourteen to eighteen years, participated in pummellirg and hair-pulling match from the time they started from the Momauguin until they reached the cen tral green. The conductor and motor man did their utmost to stop the dis order, but were unable to do so, as the participants were too young to be dealt with in the same manner that would have been used towards adults. Two of the girls fainted and were revived at Woods drug store.
 It seems that the party was a club on an outing, and that the members had in spite of their extreme youth, par taken of too much intoxicating liquors.

ssPhysical-Culture Mike

Thomas Martindale, the merchant
who is famous as a huntsman. is al
most proud of that sobliquet which he
has learned has been applied to him
by street-car conductors on lines pass-
ing near his home, because he takes
long morning walks for his health.
''Physical-culture Nike is what the
conductors call him. For some time
Mr.. Martindale has been following
the practice of walking from his home
near Thirty-third and Barring streets to
his place of business at Tenth street.
Recently his son, coming downtown
in a car, heard a conductor call the
attention of a passenger to a pedes-
trlan on the street, whom he referred
to as "Physical-culture Mike" When
he looked in the direction indicated by
the conductor young Mr.. Martindale
beheld his father trudging along with
his umbrella over his shoulders. Sub
sequently while walking along Mar
ket street near Seventeenth, on his
way to the office, Mr.. Martindale
heard a g~arrulous conductor shout to
his motorman and refer to him as the
same "Physical-culture Mike" The
merchant, who has a strong sense of
humor. has not ceased taking his
morning walks because he has attract
eel attention and while the name
which has been applied to him is
neither euphonious or pretty he does
not mind in the least.-The Reporters

SAYS CONSPIRACY.
W. E. Brown Gives His Side in Chi
cago Disbarment Case.

Chicago, April lin the disbar-
ment proceedings against William
! Eugene Brown, former member of the
Kansas legislature, the defendant to-
day said in explaining his side of the
case:
II am the victim of conspiracy. at
the bottom OF which are Attorneys
Buckley, Gray and More and Judge
Dunno. defeated them in an ex-
/ tended litigation between A. D. Per
] kins and the NiSely Brothers and since
then they have sought to crush me.
The original basis of the disbar-
ment proceedings was the result of
putup job upon me by G. A Nelson, J.
s. Albright and Billy Barton, a de-
tective. I was retained by Albright to
collect an alleged debt from Q. A.
Nelson. Nelson settled by giving me q
check for $3.50, which I turned into
the American Trust and Savings bank.
Later it was discovered that Nelson
had no account at the bank. That
was four years ago and the bank never
took any steps in the matter. Now 1t
has been raked Up.
When discovered that had
been deceived L employed Barton to
Investigate the case and gave him the
check to help compare signatures. he
went to Kansas City and 1 have not
heard from him since. I then Went
to another detective agency and asked
aid, but that, too, went to the other
side. I then advertised for informa-
ton from people who knew Nelson,
Albright and Barton and Charles
Haas of the Haas detective agency told
me he would look up the matter.
HE got enough information about
the case to know the description Of
Barton. When I went to his Office he
told me Barton had Sbeen one of his
operators and he knew him well. He
said he would testify to all he knew
4bout him and also about his leaving
Chicago for Kansas City. Ills stenoG-
rapher told me she had been in the
Office of the Haas agency for eight
years and she too would testify.
cit has developed that Haas and
his people are in league to destroy me.
They declared had asked them TO
testify concerning Barton and had
promised to pay them 5000 for so do
ing They denied all they told me
and denied ever knowing or having
heard of Barton. They told false
hoods"
