Lively Fight

Bob Skaggs and Jim Penrod had u
disagreement Mt the Pioneer saloon last
night that ended in n fight. Accord
ing to the story told us, Jim aud Bob
were quietly talking over the latter's
work in the legislature when the police
bill was brought to the front by Bob.
He told of his great work against that
measure and his surprise Mt the vote
it received in Reno, where there are so
many union men. Now, Jim, is n
member of the carpenters Union of
Reno and supported the bill along with
u majority of the union men. He told
Bob of the stand the union men took
and remarked that Bob had killed him
self politically when he charged Cover
nor Sparks with being drunk ut the
time he issued the call for II special
session of the legislature. Bob ooh Of
Tense mt this and said he had been uc-
cused of saying that, hut that any one
who said that he had said it was n id
liar with trimmings. Why, Bob. said
jim you told me that. Am l the liarg
At this, Bob clinched IL chair and went
after jim. Jim took the chair from
Bob and slapped him u few times and
then knocked him down. Friends then
separated them and Bob threw u spit
toon mt Jim which failed to hit him.
This ended the fight.
The only comment the INDEPENDENT
makes on the fight is that knocking n
man down is rather a rough way of
refreshing his memory, hut that seems
the only thing that will reach some men
with short memories and mean tongues.

An interesting and novel legal point
was argued before Judge Harrington
yesterday afternoon in the case of the

the defendant is a corporation and

argued 10y Judge Deal that, rs the

SPlRITUALISTS AT TACOMA
TAKE AWAY PASTORS JOB.
He Comes Back Charging His Enemies
With Going Into Medium Business.

TACOMA, Feb. 15.-Trouble that
has been brewing in the Tacoma Spirit
ualist church for months came to a.
head last night when Pastor J. c..
Goodaale was deposed. Dr. Goodale
challenges the proceedings, holding
THAT it reDresen the results of a pro-
paganda that "a bad element" has been
working up for weeks. The trouble,
Dr. Goodale contends, began at camp
meeting held at Surprise lake months
ago which he attended.
Gas soon as I arrived at the camp
ground" said he this afternoon. '1
found crooked things going on. There
was a regular merchandise and trading
on he philosophy of spiritual ,phenom-
ena. Signs were UP at various tents
telling of magnetic healers.' skilled
ties s. etc. / reported the matter to the
president of the state association at
Seattle. Later I put the bad element
out of my church"
Dr. Dennison and those heading the
movement against Pastor Goodale say
he was deposed for using disrespectful
language, infrac1 ion of rules and APP
pearing in church in a condition re-
fiecting on his sObriety.
