The affair happened this morning
shortly after the opening of the
court session by Judge Adams. The
battle ragged fiercely for some min
utes, and several blows were ex-
changed before the combatants coul
be separated by the attaches of the
court. Judge Adams then summon.
ed the warning parties before the
bench and fined each of them $50
for contempt of court. He then
dismissed them with severe repri-
mand. 1t seems that Wheeler had
sued French for an attorneys fee

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 17-Ken-
lucky tonight has Democratic Gov
ernor, Conn Linn, president pro TEN
of Senate, being temporarily in the
Governors chair during the absence
from the State of Gov Wilson and
Lieut.. Gov. w. H. Cox. Mr.. Linn
succeeds to the Governors chair
when both the Governor and Lieute-
nant Governor are out of the State
or die. The former contingency has
happened. Gov. Wilson was due in
the State at / O'Clock this afternoon,
but stopped over in Philadelphia for
few hours and so will not reach
Kentucky until Thursday morning
about o'clock. Gov. Cox left Ken
lucky, on his way to Florida for a
hunting trip this afternoon at 4
o'clock. When he left the borders
of the State Mr.. Linn became acting
Governor.
This is the first time that Dem
ocrat ever acted as Governor, during
Republican administration. 1t is
not the first time that the president
pro tenn of the Senate acted as
Governor, however, as Senator Geo.
Hickman sat in the Governors chair
for two days, while president pro
TEN of the Senate during the alb
sence from the State of Gov. Beck
ham and Lieut.. Gov. Thorne.
Mr.. Linn probably will not know
that he was Governor for a few
hours until Thursday when he sees
the newspapers. 1t would have been
impossible for him to reach Frank
fort, so he was not notified that he
was actually acting Governor. AS he
was not in Frankfort there was but
little that he could have done and
it is doubtful if he could have even
granted pardon without the seal
of the State and the Secretary OF
States name on it. But Mr.. Linn
will be known as Governor after thi
and he has right to the title.
