The body Of Michael Bash was found in
the Iowa river a few miles southeast OF
this city yesterday. Coroner ]. A. w. Bur-
CESS Of this city was summoned, but upon
examination OF the circumstances sur
rounding the case, decided that a cor

ceased had evidently come to his death
through purely accidental agencies.
Mr.. Rush, who was about 60 years of
age. had left home early in the morning

with him about 9 o'clock in the morning

Fist Fight on
Floor of Senate
of Illinois
Assistant Sergesnt-at-Arms Attempts
to Keep Member from Leaving
and Trouble Starts.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, May a.-The forty
sixth general assembly OF Illinois Is in a
deadlock on the question of sine die ad-
journment.
After being in session since last night,
both the senate and the house, after . a..
m. today, adjourned until Monday.
Both sessions on Monday will be held for
the simple purpose OF making a correct
journal record in each house. But on
Thursday the Representatives and senator's
will return for work, II present plans are
carried out. The senators signed an agree
ment not to do any work before Thursday.
A fight in the senate in which James A.
Henson OF Decatur emerged with blood
running down his face, while a ring of
senators held his opponent, marked the
closing hours of the senate session early
this morning. Thomas Sheridan OF Lin
coin, an assistant sergeant-at-arms. was
the other combatant.
The doors Of the chamber previously had
been locked to keep the members in. II is
said one member had succeeded in got
ting out, when Senator Henson, who twice
had asked and had been refused permits
sion 20 leave. took his hat and started to
go out. lie was nearly to the door when
Assistant SeTgeant-at-Arms Sheridan, who
is young and athletic, caught him by the
arm. According to Sheridan, Henson there
upon turned and struck him In the face. a
moment later the two were involved in a
rough-and-tumble fight. At the steps lead
ing to the main entry both fell and con-
tinued the fight, rolling and striking on
the carpet until they were dragged apart.
while Senator Heard OF Quincy, an ex-con-
federate soldier. begged them to "remem-
Der Illinois" and not disgrace the senate.
Senator Henson arose, his face bleeding,
and started at Sheridan, but was restrained
by Senator Daley Of Peoria, who put his
arm around him and took him into the mi
nority cloak room.
Later apologies were made by all con-
cerned.
