OVER AN ELECTION
Walter Seaborn Strikes Ser
geant Nilsson in Face Follow
ing Heated Discussion.

Regiment, Have Difficulty
Selecting Officers

BERKELEY, Sept. 22.-Walter J. Sea-
born, deputy town-clerk of this city, and
one of the founders of Company C, Fifth
regiment. national guard. of this city,
slapped the face of First Sergeant l.. j.
Nilsson after a heated contest for the
selection of two lieutenants in the COM
pany last night. Nilsson is a large
man and Seaborn of smaller size, but
Nilsson did not carry the fight further,
on account of the intervention of friends
of both men
The election of officers of the COM
pany resulted IN the promotion of r. NJ.
Searles to first lieutenant from second
lieutenant, without opposition. Quar-
termaster Sergeant A. g. Wrightman
was elected second lieutenant over First
Sergeant L. ]. Nilsson by two votes.
Seaborn, who was said by Nilsson to
have harmed the company in giving
credence to a published report of in
ternal troubles. held the minority vote
at the election in the armory last night.
Nilsson accused him of turning his votes
over for his defeat
The deputy town. clerk resented the
words with blow, but members of the
company parted the men before further
damage could be done.
The fight last night was the culmi-
nation of factional rows in the ranks
of the national guard company for the
last two weeks since Lieutenant F. E.
White turned in his resignation. He
had passed some expense bills during
the time of the fete in Idora park and
his authority to do SO had been ques-
toned by members of the finance COM
mittee.
