Mr.. Kendall won. Mr.. Heller then
fought Mr.. Horne and defeated him by
one touch. Mr.. Kendall then crossed
blades with Mr.. Horne. The latter
having lost one bout was forced to win
the bout with Mr.. Kendall or lose the

Kendall, and he settled down to close
the fight with rush. The bout was
so close that the referee decided it a
tie and called for two minutes more
fighting to determine the winner. The
foils were crossed. Mr.. Horne tried a
new mode of defense. Several little
tricks were introduced and when the
time was called the score again stood
even.

LONG BEACH, April 20.-A. ].
Hoeppner, from whom his wife, Mrs.
Ada Hoeppner, is attempting to secure
divorce, and who reported to the
police night before last that he had
found his wife in the apartments of
Andy Crist, a clerk, walked into the
private office Of George A. Skinner, his
wifes attorney. at S:t5 o'clock this
afternoon, and without a word struck
Skinner a terrific blow on the right
side OF the head with his fist. Skinner
was sitting writing upon his type
writer and was struck from behind
The lawyer is an elderly man, short
and of very slight build. and he was
knocked from his chair by the blow.
Hoeppner grappled with him as he fell.
Skinner's cries brought his son, DR..
Reginald Skinner, a Los Angeles dem
tist, to the scene. Young Skinner had
been reading in the outer office or re-
ception room.
AS he entered the inner office he
saw Hoeppner about to grasp his
fathers throat. He Joined in the fight
and Hoeppner was soon upon the floor
in a corner of the office. While his
son held down the bellicose caller At
torney Skinner ran to window over
looking Pine avenue and called for
assistance. Patrolman Harover heard
his cries and saw the lawyers bloody
face in the window.
Running UP the stairs, the officer ar
rested Hoeppner and conducted him to
police headquarters. Hoeppner did not
resist the patrolman.
Warrant Charges Battery
Skinner swore out a warrant charg-
ing Hoeppner with battery. He pleaded
guilty and will be sentenced by Re
corder Hart Monday. He Is in jail,
being unable to furnish $500 bond.
SlSinner's right ear was cut partly
off by the forceful blow the other man
delivered. He was given medical at
tention in Smiths drug store.
DIR. Reginald Skinner said this after
noon that he had heard yesterday that
Hoeppner had threatened his father.
He did not know the man by sight,
however, and when Hoeppner walked
past him this afternoon into the private
office of his fathers suite he paid no
attention to him.
Attorney Skinner yesterday stated
that he thought Hoeppner's charges
that his wife had been faithless were
without foundation and were made
simply to hinder her in her fight for a
divorce. Mrs. Hoeppner charges in
her petition for divorce that her hus-
band was cruel to her. Hoeppners at
tack this afternoon is supposed to
have been the result of Attorney Skin
ner's statements yesterday.
Hoeppnec is a druggist at 1876 Pine
avenue. His home and the room of
the clerk in whose rooms he claims to
have found his wife are on the floor
above The clerk disappeared yester-
day and has not been seen since.
