FIGHT OVER GIRL
CAUSE OF FURRY
IN CENSUS OFFICE
Clerks Reported in Mortal
Combat Use Only
Fists.

In the peaceful corridors of the Cen
sus Office today clerks stopped each
other as they went about official duties,
and whispered words that caused OPEN
mouthed amazement, and then hurried
on to convey the news to others.
Women stopped punching the tabula-
ting machines long enough to lend their
ears to whispers across the aisles, and
moment later work stopped and the
buzz of voices rivaled the old-time sew
ing bee.
There were rumors; rumors of a kind
that caused the clerks to sit up and
take notice" They were wild rumors.
and they gained circulation almost as
rapidly as If they had been carried
around the big building on streaks Of
lightning.
Rumors of Mortal Combat.
The story was to the effect that two
Of the male clerks, having become en-
an employe Of the office, had decided to
settle the question as rival suitors did
in the days of chivaIry and romance.
Pistols were reported to have been
chosen. and one of the rivals was sup
posed to have been fatally wounded.
To add to the realism and romance,
the men were said to have gone to the
historic old dueling ground at Blidens-
burg, where, by moonlight, they stepped
off the usual twenty places and opened
fire.
Part of 1t True.
But it was only a rumor. Two of
the clerks did have a misunderstanding,
to settle which they repaired to the
woods near Brookland, accompanied by
several friends and fought with their
fists. The victor went through the bat
tie without receiving a bruise. but the
other appeared at the Census Office
later with a black eye, which he told
his fellow-employes he had received
during an argument with the umpire in
an amateur baseball game.
There was disappointment among
women clerks who like ducls. "Chiv-
airy and romance had walked out the
door Of the Census Office as abruptly as
they had entered.
