FLOOR OF

Of Representatives is the
Scene Of a Bloody
Fight

Representative DeArmond of Mis-
souri, and representative Williams of
Mississippi engaged in fistic encoun-
ter on the floor of the House of Rep
resentativas in Washington yesterday
and before they were separated Will
liams was cut in the cheek and bled
freely.
The trouble arose over De Almond
calling Williams a liar. The question
of the appointment of a colleague OF
De Almond on a certain committee
led to hot words and during the argu-
ment Williams was called liar. The
latter asked that no trouble ensue on
the floor Of the House as it was no
place for a personal encounter. De
Almond was angry and again accus-
ed the gentleman from Mississippi OF
uttering a falsehood It was then that
Williams landed a stiff right to face
and the fight was on. The galleries
were crowded with men and women
who seemed to take a great interest in

Jack was an industrious farmer liv-

called a coward for allowing another

the spoiler Of his home. For this
crime he was sentenced to be hung.

The above announcement came as
surprise TO the officials in this
city today and Will be received the
same way by the public at large.
From the statements purported to
have been made by General Funston
in Goldfield which have been sent out
to the press of the country the action
of the governor in calling for federal
troops was the best thing that could
have happened. Funston has also
been quoted as saying that the con-
ditions in ,the camp of Goldfield as
he found them was much worse than
had been stated by the states execu-
tive.
The announcement that the troops
had been ordered from the southern
camp was received at the Governors
Office here this afternoon but owing to
