FIST FIGHT IN CONGRESS.
Between Williams Of Mississippi and
De Armond of Missouri.

Washington.-The spirit of rivalry
that for five years has alternately
smoldered and blazed between John
Sharp Williams of Mississippi. leader
of the minority. and David A. De Ar
mond of Missouri, eliminated in
fistic fight Thursday on the floor OF
the House OF Representatives.
The blows of Representative De
Almond caused blood to flow down the
face of Representative Williams and
only the forcible intervention of
friends. cut the combat short.
Mr.. DeArmond bore away a scuffed
nose.
Mr.. Williams struck the first blow
and Mr.. De Almond retaliated vigor-
ously with clenched fists. When the
combatants were separated blood was
flowing down Mr.. Williams face from
a small cash in the left cheek and his
forehead was red and abrazed.
The encounter was Witnessed by
more than 100 members of the house
and by as many more persons in the
galleries. among them score OF
women.
While the battle lasted TIE excited
spectators in the galleries pressed
against the rails. Men and women
leaned far over. apparently holding
their breath as blow after blow was
struck and returned and the combat
ants lunged forward and swayed back.
When Mr.. Williams was released he
went Immediately into a cloak room
and while removing the stains of the
combat said:
THE disagreement arose over COM
mittee assignment. MIR. De Almond
called me to task for recommending
his colleague. Mr.. Booher, TO no more
prominent committee than that on
coinage, weights and measures. He
charged me with lack of veracity. |
then struck him and we exchanged
blows. II is most regrettable that the
floor should be selected for such an
affair"
According to Mr. De Armond. the
episode arose over the correctness of
conversation between himself aud
Mr.. Williams about ten days ago re-
garding the committee assignments of
some Missouri members. and particu-
larly of Mr.. Booher. Upon Mr.. De
Almonds insisting that he had not
specified any committee to which he
desired to have his colleagues as
signed. Mr.. Williams, he said. brusque-
ly replied that it was simply a mat
ter of recollection between the two.
He said this" said Mr.. De Almond,
lin such way as to leave no other
inference than the one ] suggested
and told him l believed him to be a
liar. He thereupon struck me and l
think l gave him as good as ne gave.

Former Lieutenant Governor Relates
He Experience

F'fo experience
Fort Collins.-As the third lecture in
, ser.es planned for the classical
course students of the Agricultural
college. Ex-Governor Brush of Greeley.
spoke to large crowd of students and
their friends on Pioneer Life in the
West Drawing truths of life from
auecdotes of the frontier. Mr.. Brush
gave the students four maxims:
First was offered dollar
oushel for my corn crop In the early
days Of Iowa. I refused, and saw II
lie on the ground and rot. If you have
ANYTHING to sell and are offered a fair
price for 1t, you will generally win by
selling It at once"
"Second-I have learned also from
my Iowa experience mortgaged prop
erty is only safe in prosperous times.
A farm covered with 'plasters' is
poor condition In times of financial
crisis.
"Third-be sure that you establish
credit and reputation for yourself in
business. 1t In the best asset you can
have.
~Fourth-When you do a good deed.
1t is not only for the present. but
lives in the future as well. Always
do something that Will make the com
munity better. that will live and build
It up"
Among the many interesting Incl
dents of his part in building up the
West, Governor Brush told the fol
lowing:
81 left a good homo in Ohio as
young man in 1857, and finally landed
at Sioux City. Iowa. At that time
Travelled thirty to forty miles before

the Lewis and Clark trail, Colorado
bound. For six weeks we saw no other
human being and had many narrow
escapes in crossing the swollen
streams and in meeting hostile Indians
near the Colorado line. We reached
Boulder in July, 1859.
MY brother and | owned a wagon
and four oxen. We divided, each

Colorado. 1 saw the Union colony
come to Greeley and as tenderfeet
teach us pioneers the real way to ir-
rigate. teach us the value of big can
ais built by concentrated effort. Gov
ernor Eaton continued the work thus
begun"
The speaker then told of the dan
gers of pioneer life and related how
he was at one time pursued for fif-
teen miles by three Indians. assuring
the students that 1t was no pleasant
experience. He closed with this trib-
ute to Colorado:
Il have seen Iowa develop into one
OF the grandest states of the Union.

Many Mines to Close.

Denver.-The Republican says that
mining conditions. in so far as they
relate to the low grade propositions
from which are taken the baser metals
are in most unsatisfactory condition.
At the present prices of silver, cop
per- lead and zinc. the mines that have
been operated on slight margin of
profit are losing money and the man
agements have been compelled to
close in number of camps. This has
been done at Creede and Aspen and
is now being done at Leadville and
other camps.
Orders will be issued Immediately
at Leadville to pull the pumps from
the mines in the downtown section.
as their operation is very expensive
and cannot be maintained at present.

SiIverton Mines Suffer.

Silvcrton.-Due to tho uneasy con.
dition in the metal market. several
mines in this dis, 'ct have closed or
have reduced their forces until nearly
300 men arc out of employment and
most OF them have gone to seek work
elsewhere. Among the largest pro
ducers which have closed are the Gold
Prince. Mogul. Aspen. Detroit &c Colo
RADIO and Champion. The three for
mer gave employment to about sixty
men each. while the latter two en-
ployed forty men each. The Silver
Lake mine and mill which is supplied
with ore from the aspen mine. has re
dpced its force.

tions to the grounds. Orders for the
erection OF a stable $50 by 60 feet have
been given and work on the building
already has been begun. The new
building will contain about 300 stalls
IL will be perfectly enclosed and will
be an ideal place In which to show
much Of the fine stock that will be in
Denver for the exposition.
Another thing which the manage
ment of the show has decided upon
for the comfort of the visitors to the
stockyards during show week is to-
cover the big stadium and show ring
with canvas top and provide heat.
There has been some complaint made
in past years over the failure 10 heat
the big show building. but this year
with the new stadium under cover and
well heated there will be no room for
the hckers. Stalls for the accommo-
dalton of the exhibition animals viii
be built beneath the stadium and
about 200 head OF fine stock win be
housed there. The big brick barns
will hold 200 more and every stall at
the yards will be filed when the doors
are thrown open to the public
