NEWSPAPER MEN
IN HOT FISTICUFFS
BonfilS SlugS Former Senator
Patterson - Warrant for
Arrest is Sworn Out.

Denver, Colo, Dec. 26.-A warrant
was sworn out tonight for the arrest of
Fred G. Bonfils, one of the proprietors
of the Denver Post. The warrant was
sworn to by ex-United States Senator
Thomas NJ. Patterson as the result of
an encounter between the two men at
an early hour this morning, during
which Senator Patterson was knocked
down and painfully injured. The en-
counter was the elimination of a news
paper fight which has been going on
for some years between the propFietors
of the Post and Senator Patterson, who
is the principal stakeholder of the
News-Times Publishing company. The
stories of the two men differ as to the
details of the encounter. Senator Pat
tersOn says Mr.. BOntils came up behind
him and said Good morning." When
he turned to see who addressed him,
Senator Patterson states ne was dealt
a terrific blow which felled him, after
which his assailant beat and kicked
him before he could arise. He says he
did not know who had hit him until
after some men had separated them.
He adds that Mr.. BOnfls cursed him
and threatened to kill him if his Bon
fils' mans appeared again in the News
or the Times.
Mr. Bonffls' statement is that the two
men met and that 4 discussion arose
over a threat Senator Patterson had
made in the columns of the News TO
run Mr.. Bonfls out of business or put
him in the penitentiary. According 10
Mr.. BOnfils, Mr.. Patterson reiterated
the threat and the fight started. Mr..
Bonils admits knocking the senator
down, but claims justification on &C
count of the senator's published and
spoken language. Mr.. Bont1ls claims
that Senator Patterson was accompa-
MED by his son-in-law, Richard c.
Campbell, when the dispute arose. Sen
ator Patterson is 20 years of age and
