he learned that Mr.. Amnen had armed
himself with a shotgun. taken a stand in
the store, and let it be known that he would

Regarding Fatal Fist Fight at

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O.-The president
has called upon Secretary Bonaparte for
report on certain features Of the case of
Midshipman Branch. who died at the Naval
Academy at Annapolis after a glove fight
with another midshipman.
Secretary Bonaparte today made request
of the superintendent. Admiral Sands, for
the specific information desired.
At the conclusion of a long conference
with the admiral II was stated that no ac-
ton had been determined upon, although
II was indicated that there might be a
statement from an Official quarter tomor-
row.
II was stated that according to informa-
ton before the department the indications
were that the death Of Mldshipman Branch
was caused by repeated blows on the head,
and in the opinion of the medical men it
could not have been caused by a single
blow.
Secretary Bonaparte said today that the
practice OF fighting at the academy was
very Objectionable and would be discour-

1t developed that the shoemaker was a
much better buyer than payer. Grant made
numerous attempts to collect the bill, but
without avail, In spite of the fact that he
was known as remarkably good collector.
After the seller of leather had become
famous as the head OF the army end was
winning great battles the Spring Green

his personal Acquaintance with General
Grant.
The shoemaker had a son who was lack
