Juneau, Aug. 23-C. M. Summers, president of the Frst National bank, Henry Shattuck, clerk of the courts and Editor O'Brien of the Record made combined attack upon Editor Russell of tn Daily Dispatch Saturday night which will result in all of the assailants being arrested today.
 O'Brien took the offensive and with the use of brass knuckles made gash over Russell's left eye an inch long. The city marshal attempted to arrest O'Brien when Shattuck and Summers interferred and Shattuck snatched the marsha's club away.
 The trouble grew out of an editorial in the dispatch in which Shattuck was accused of giving the printing of the court calendar to the Record without asking for bids and in other ways sug gested poodle and bribery The city authorities intend to have all three men arrested as this is the thild time that an attack has been made upon Russell by Summers and O'Brien. Shattuck's interference with an off, cer ,n the discharge of his duty may result in his losing his job which seems very likely at present.
