TO CHAsTIsE A YOUNG NAN.

Representative Frank Clark Of Florida.

sitlon like sweet milk. pulled rude per-
sons nose in front Of the Hotel Narnum

mage resulted. Later in the day he lests-
lated freely while wearing knob about
the size OF walnut and almost as green
over his left eye.
Mr.. and Mrs Clark were entering the
Narnum by the revolving storm door al the
main entrance when n Young man in
very much of n hurry started to emerge.
For while there was an Involuntary

TO him. and then. refusing 10 listen to
apologies. reached up and clutched his
nose between the thumb and index finger
of his right hand. If his fingers hadn't
slipped there is no telling what would
have happened. But they did, and while
Mr. Clark was backing away the young
man handed him a grand punch over the
left lamp Mr.. Clark cOuntered. and
things looked promising for fine finish
fight when some guests in the hotel in
terfered.
Twas reported around the Capitol yes
terday afternoon that MIR. Clark had
drawn knife. He denies this. He in
sists that nothing but fists We're used. and
that if he hadn't been interrupted he
would have had the young man in hos
