FIST FIGHT RESULTS.
Shawnee County Man Is Called Liar
Crawford County Representative
Says Opponent Betrayed Prom,
ise in Regard to Normal
School Bill.

Topeka, Kan--Belligerency spread
to the house and one-sided fist fight
took place on the floor between Robert
Stone of Shawnee and A. Fl. McCor-
mick of Crawford. The controversy
arose over the bill separating the Pitts
burg branch of the normal school from
the normal at Emporia. This bill was
killed in the house by a scant total
of two votes to spare.
When the result of the vote became
known Mccormick called Stone liar.
He declared the Shawnee county man
had agreed at the beginning OF the
session to support the separation bill
II Mccormick would support him for
speaker. Stone had taken a leading
part in the fight against the bill and
had voted to kill it. She Shawnee
cointy man Informed Mccormick that
he was mistaken that he (Stone) had
made no such promise. Then McCor'
mick leaped upon stone and STRUCK
the latter four or five times with mis-
fists. Stone cid not attempt to strike
back. afterward declaring the Pitts
burg man too old an adversary to
strike.
Mccormick, however, taunted his op
ponent and dared him to strike. Mem
bers separated the two men just when
Stone was or the point of being COM
PEELED to retaliate.

Anldun Man Kills Victim.

daughter, Bert NJ. Reed, a well known
proprietor of a popcorn and confec'
tionery stand at Douglas and Topeka
avenues, was shot by holdup man.
receiving injuries from which he soon
died. Mr.. Reed was one-armed and
was formtrly in the railroad service,
and was known by thousands of per-
SONS who have seen him at his place
of business.
Reeds death was in all probability
due to the fact that he failed to raise
both hands when asked to do so by
his assailant, who was probably un-
aware of the fact that his victim was
possessed of but one arm.
A search of the mans pockets di-
vulged the knowledge that no money
had been taken from Reed, his assail-
ant escaping without securing any
money

of the office of the state fish and
game warden was made four years, IN

duced from $4,000 per year to $1,000 q

ceives no additional salary for his du-

OPEN BALLOT BILL KILLED.
There Was a Call of the House But 1t
Didn't Save II.

The bill introduced by H. S. Thomp-
son of Reno county, calling for the
open ballot at primary elections, was
killed in the house on final passage
but not without the hardest fight that
has been put up this session. The fin
al vote was 5S for the bill and So
against it and the friends of the meas
ure gave up only after they had de-
manded and secured four separate
calls of the house and after every abb
sent member who could be found was
dragged in.
This bill provided that at primary
elections each voter should be given
the ballots of all the different parties;
that he should vote one and fold 1t
ard all the others, putting the voted
ticket into one box and the others into
another. 1t was recommended for pas
sage in the committee of the whole.
1t is the same bill that was offered in
the way of an amendment to the prl-
mary election law when the bill was
under consideration four years ago.
w Hfn II was dpphlC th"I 'HS 49,
had failed to secure constitutional
majority Mr.. Thompson moved that
call of the house be granted. The
doors were locked and the sergeants-
at arms were sent out to find absent
members. Several were brought IN
and voted Those who opposed the Dill
moved that the call be raised. An
other vote wss brought in and another
call of the house demanded. This pro-
cedure was followed out four times,
but finally Mr. Thompson saw it would
be impossible to secure a sufficient
number of votes to pass the bill and
he moved that the call be raised 1t
was raised when there were only 5S
votes for the bill and it died then and
there.
