ter on the streets here that has caused
much comment.
Bell who was formerly national
head Of the Fraternal Order OF Eagles.
has been active recently in a local
fight and has been assailed in the edi-
torial columns OF the Chronicle. Most
of the editorials have been OF dis
tinctly sarcastic nature and the one
that appeared yesterday afternoon
was particularly cutting.
II was brought to Bells notice and
he came here from his home at Napa
and met Pennycook in the street. A
warm argument followed. which was
ended by Bell letting fly hot right
hook which landed on the editorial
Jaw. The blow was returned and the
men were getting down to real fight
ing when bystanders interfered.
The encounter has stirred up bitter
feeling which may result in further
trouble

the plan was Changed when IL was
learned that crowd OF strikers and

Buys Bankrupt Concern.

Some lively bidding marked the sale
OF the bankrupt Globe Brass works
property at Nos. 13 and Is Macomb-st..
Tuesday morning. with the result that
the property was finally knocked down
10 Judge William j. vesey. OF Fort
Wayne. Ind. at $4,000. This is more
than double the appraised value, and
that the sale will be confirmed by the
court seems a foregone conclusion. Al
the time OF the appraisal, however. the
plant was closed down and the value
was fixed at $7.i45.76 on that basis.
At the sale, bids were first received
on the various parcels separately.
These bids aggregated S4.l75. Starting
with this figure. Assistant Secretary
Charles y. Spicer. OF the Detroit Trust
Co, who acted as auctioneer. asked
for bids on the plant as a whole. Some
one made II $4,000 right of the reel
and the FUN Was on. Competition was
active al the beginning but the bid
ders dropped ont one by one as the
price mounted higher until. toward the
END, IL developed into a three-cornered
fight between Judge Vesey, II. l.. Gold
man. who was one OF the stockholders
in the old company. and Mr.. Stone,
of New York. When Judge Vesey bid
$4,000 the others quit. and the sale
was AT all end.

existed as TO the accuracy OF the
