CAPITAL COURTHOUSE
LIKE A BATTLEFIELD

at Santa Fe Engaged In Per-

result of rough and tumble fight
In the court house here late yester-

probate clerk, and r. II. Hanna an
attorney, were arraigned, today before
local justice of the peace. Hanna
sustained a number of deep cuts on
the face and head and severe bruises.
ArmiJo escaped with slight injuries.
The fight II is said, started over a
trivial matter, but 1t is understood
that there had been III feeling be-
tween the men OF some months
standing. AS nearly as could be as
certained today, Hanna entered the
office Of the probate clerk In the
court house yesterday afternoon, and
asked to see some of the records. Ar
milo is alleged to have replied that
nc would wat on Hanna as soon as
he could, or words to that effect.
At any events hot words were eK-
changed.
Officials at the court house and
others who were in the vicinity re-
port that for the next few minutes
the air was ful of missiles. Ink
stands, the telephone office fixtures
and a chair and the stove poker were
all brought into play. Armijo, it is
said, used only the one weapon--the
stove poker. He was bombarded II

welded the poker with telling ef-
feet, infiicting numerous severe
wounds on Hanna's head. The attor-
ney was probsb bly, saved dangerous IL
not fatal injuries by the Intervention
of an attorney who separated the
combatants.
Both MIR. Hanna and Mr. Armiio
are well known in Santa Fe and both
have been known to resort to their
fists before to settle their differences.
The office OF the probate clerk and
the corridor lesding thereto, looked
like battlefield after the ARRAY OF

nounCem ent was made this morning
by Major Ruppe of the armOry board.

the telephone with Adjutant General
Tark ngton at santa Fe.
Major Ruppe said that the board
discovered that a larga number Of
counter attractions in the ty would
keep many away from the dedication

tend, and it was very important that
large attendance Oe had to meet the
expenses OF the affair. This. with
the reason that some of the dist n
guished territorial officials on the
program could not be present tomor-
row evening, was considered suffi-
cient to cause postponement. No

tant General Tarkington said that ne
would be opposed to this date be-
cause he would not be able 70 get
back to his home i'm Santa Fe IN
time for Thank giving dinner and ne

reasons the dedication will be post
