DAVENPORT NOT BLUFFiNG.
Saloons Close Promptly at 10 O'Clock
-Gettinu Bonds

DavenpOrt.-C. w. Lyon, assistant
to Attorney General Byers, is in the
city making sure that the Davenport
Saloon keepers are obeying the mulct
law in fact and not by pretense. He
declared that every saloon keeper
would have to file the So 900 bond re-
quired by law, lOrmaity which it is
understood most of the saloon keepers
hoped to be allowed to omit.
Mr.. Lyon said regarding the results
of his investigation
Il made trip around the down
town section of the city last night
and found that the saloon keepers
universally closed their doors and
turned ont their lights at 10 o'clock.
AS long as the saloon keepers show
a disposition to get under the mulct
law and take steps in this direction,
no radical measures will be used to
force them into it. They will be
given reasonable time to act of
their own accord. We have set no
definite time ia which they must
act"
Davenport awaits with intense inter
est the public announcement of the
decision of the .kulp courr martial.
No one in Davenport talks of much
except the saloon situation and the
Kulp trial. Some hot headed persons
suggested meeting Captain Kulp at
the train with a brass band when he
returned from the trial. but cooler
counsels prevailed. and q city has
settled back to wait for the worst,
while hoping for the best.

BLOWS EXCHANGED IN HOUSE
WILLIAMS AND DE ARMOND RE-
sORTTO FISTICUFFs.
[ after Calls Forme, a Liar and Lively
Combat Ensues for a
Moment.

Washington.-The spirit of rivalry
that for five years has alternately
smoldcred and blazed between John
Sharp Williams of Mississippi, leader
of the minority, and David A. De Ar
mOnd of Missouri, leader of the minor
ity opposition, eliminated in a fist
fight Thursday on the floor of the
house of representatives.
The blows of Mr. De Almond caused
blood to flow down the face or Mr..
Williams, and only the forcible inter
vention of friends cut the combat
short Mr.. De Almond bore away a
scuffed nose.
The immediate cause of the fight
was the passing of the lie by Mr.. De
Almond to Mr.. Williams, resultant of
a complaint by the former that the
majority leader had broken faith in
"burying" Mr. BOoher Of Missouri by
recommending his assignment by
Speaker Cannon to the committee on
coinage, weights and measures.
According to the statements OF the
principals, Mr.. Williams defended his
action by declaring he had been told
by Mr.. BoOher's colleague, Mr.. Lloyd
of Missouri, that the committee as
signment would be satisfactory to Mr..
Booher Mr. De Almond bluntly ques-
toned the truth Of the statement, and
after the failure of an effort on his
part to transfer the scene of con-
troversy, Mr.. Williams struck Mr. De
Almond blow in the face with closed
fist.
The exciting incident will not be
set down in the official records of the
SiXtieth congress, for the house had
been some minutes adjourned when
the first blow was struck.
Some representative cried out:
Look, look at the fight Everybody
looked; but so startled were they by
what they saw that no one seemed for
the moment to think of rushing for
ward and stopping it. Meantime Mr..
Williams and Mr.. De Almond, wedged
between two rows of desks, were still
exchanging blows. Blood was flowing
down the face of the leader of the
minority, while Mr.. De Almond was
endeavoring to grasp his opponent by
the throat, at the same time vigorous
ly returning blow for blow
Then everybody awoke to the un-
scemlness of the scene and crowded
in and made an end of 1t.
