The beli- gerents went to the floor together, but were seperated before much damage was done. They will of course, apolo- gize to the court and likely be repri- manded by Judge Fulkerson.

BRUNDIDGE IN NO HURRY
And Declares Reports Regarding His
 Intentions are Unauthorized

.Searcy, Sept. 23.-Reports which have been published to the effect that Congressman Stephen Brundidge had definitely decided to enter the race for United States Senator against Senator Clarke, as well as reports to the effect that he would not become candidate, have had no foundation. according to a statement made by Mr. Brundidge today. Mr. Brundidge declared that he had not authorized any statement on the subject, and that all reports re- garding his intentions were purely guess work as he had not himself de- tinitely determined what course. he would pursue.
 Il think it is entirely too early to open a campaign for any office, Mir, Brundidge declared. 'The farmers are busy with their crops, and have no time to devote to politics at this time. As to the course 1 will pursue politically can make no statement at this time as I do not know myself what I shall do in the future Naturally, therefore, there is no foundation for any of the alleged reliable reports which have been published regarding my intentions.
