.CR ANEY ATTACKS
EDITOR GARRETT
Blacksmith and Referee on
Warpath Because Of an
Editorial in the Post
USES FIST AND FOOT
Crowds Of Women on Way to
the Opera Are Horrified
by the Savage Spectacle

Eddie Graney's strong left arm,
grown powerful in many a struggle
with fractions hoofs, expended It's force
and gave vent to bitter animosity on
the head of Editor Thomas Garrett of
the Evening Post last night. Of1ciaIly.
! Ior Graney is the well-known referee
as well as horseshoer, it was a left
nook to the nose that let the blood
ana revenged scathing editorial in
which the little blacksmith" was last
/ evening depicted in various degrees Of
moral unworth and incompetency and
TOO dishonest to drive the nails straight
In shoeing the horses for the munich
pailty's fire department..
The battle took place in the street in
front of the Tivoli Theater, to which
the editor was vending his way to hear
sOul-Stlrr1ng opera. Graney unwearied
with the days toll at the bellows, was
on an excited hunt for Garrett, and the
winds had carried far and wide the
meaning of his curling lip.
There's your man." pointed a man
from behind cigar store crowd that
had been regaled during the afternoon
and evening with blasts from the hoof-
sizzling shop in denunciation of Super
visors for opposing the shoeing con-
tract and later of the editor who ran
corously commended their course and

In a moment there was a demand
for retraction. Garrett refused Out
shot the southpaw. Down. went the
editor on the hard pavement. But the
spirit of self-defense was lacking
Graney measured out the number of
kicks that ugly mules had landed on
him in his career in the shop.
Bleeding and overwhelmed, weeping
as we'll some of the bystanders say, the
editor was finally allowed to arise and
he appealed to Detective Taylor, who
was standing by.
Il saw nothing" said the sleuth, and
he could therefore not make an arrest.
There was much excitement, for the
street was thronged with the rush of
people to hear Tetrazzini. The hun
dreds Of women were Mortified at the
spectacle.
Later the editor sought out his assail-
ant in a nearby saloon to talk the mat
ter over. He had not written the
editorial, he explained, and he dis
played a pistol that he said his self
control had happily kept in state of
inaction. With handkerchief in his
coat pocket the doughty blacksmith
made bluff that he too was heeled.
The wind-up of the fracas was a gem
eral apology and gin fizz for mutual
goodwill.

IN AUTOMOBILE
Aged Patrick Harmon Comes
From San Jose in Auto
to Give His Testimony
STATEMENTS CONFLICT
John III. Yoell Denies That
His Father Paid $1,000
Note Held by the Old Man

Aged Patrick Harmon, an important
witness for the proponents in the Yoell
case, had his first automobile ride yes
terday. 1t was a long one, from San
Jose to Judge Kerrigans court. There
the old resident of San Jose gave signs
OF a memory weak on some points and
strong on others. He declared positive
ly that ]. Alexander Yoell had paid a
note of John H. Yoell for $500. This
was firmly denied by the son.
Checks for larger amounts from John
H. Yoell to Harmon were produced by
Attorney Hoefler, but the old man
could not recall what they were for,
though he admitted .having received
them.
rs your memory pretty good?" asked
the attorney.
"'Tis not as good as when I was
young, like you" replied the old man
in a rich brogue.
How did you get here" asked Attor-
ney Hoef1er suddenly
In an automobile" replied the old
fellow. Il understood that I would be
subpenaed. so came"
One reply of lannon's caused some
merriment.
You say that you only got so cents
on the dollar on the SEQ note" said
Hoefier.
Yes, replied the old man without
smile THE lawyers got the other half"
Harmon, who had had business trans
actions with j. Alexander Yoell since
1854, gave his opinion that the Santa
Clara pioneer was of sound mind when
he knew him. Because" added Han
non, ''he could not have made so much
money if he wasn't"
John H. Yoell told how the first Diff
ference between his father and mother
was settled. MY father came to me
and begged me to use my influence to
make my mother take him back. He
offered to settle all my debts If / would.
1 told him that 1 would do nothing un-
less he settled with cash on the spot"
Yoell explained some of the checks
given to the mother by showing how
his father evaded payment Of taxes.
AT a certain time of the year my
father would check over all he had IN
the bank to my mother to evade taxa
ton" he explained. This custom ex-
tended over many years"
The case will be resumed at 10:90
o'clock TODAY.

to st. Louis Make Final
Report to the Governor

The California Commissioners to the
ST. Louis Exposition filed their final re-
port with Governor Pardee yesterday,
and this closed up their business and
the two commissioners and Secretary
Dennison ceased drawing pay from yes
terday on the st. Louis account The
commissioners reported that California
was well represented by its products
and won credit at ST. Louis. The COM
missioners were allowed $500 each for
their personal expenses, but they ex-
pended on this account less than $1,000
each. The facts concerning the exhib-
its and the exhibition space occupied in
each of the buildings at st. Louis were
reviewed in the report. Altogether Cal
ifornias exhibits, including the outside
space covered, occupied $3.50 square
feet.
Concerning some matters of general
interest the commissioners reported as
follows:
At no previous exposition. 30 far as our OBJ
servations extend. have all the important sec
tions of California been more completely ex-
plotted In proportion TO their merits than they
were at st. Louis. Indeed. II is notorious that

was neither ungraceful nor creative
of noise. Besides, he doubted that the

men butted in and summarily brought
the grand opening to a sudden cessa-
tion by arresting him.
In reply to all of which the two po-

piano was kept in active service long
after l o'clock and that the plea of the
sounds being made by human elbows
