 San Francisco, June 25.-The seeth- | ing undercurrent of hatred existing between the Ruef and Heney forces came suddenly to the surface today in the court room during the conduct of the bribery examination, and nearly produced tragic results. Heney has for some time been accompanied every where by an armed guard, as he is convinced that his life is not safe without them. As the guard were about to leave the court room today, Ruef emphatically protested against such thing, claiming that they Lad no right to be allowed in the public streets when they carried weapons. Heney wheeled on Ruef like a flash and cried, "If any trouble comes, y ou
 will get yours first. bcause you hired assassins to to kill me-" Ruef sprang to his feet, white with rage, and shouting "You d-liar' attempted to get hold of Heney. The court room was in tumult in an instant. depu- ties rush ing between the two men and preventing an actual collision be- tween them. Ruef struggled franti-
 cally in the grasp of several men, cursing Heney. and asking to be al lowed to get hold of him. Order was restored with great difficulty, and lit tie more business could be accomplish ed during the session.
