WOLFE AND WINTER FIGHT.
Candidates for Attorney General Com
to Blows.

ATTORNEY General Samuel NJ. Wolfe
and his opponent, B. M. Winter, en-
gagged in a fistic encounter on the out
skirts of the Pickens Tabernacle fol-
lowing their speeches at the campaign
meeting at Pickcns' on Tuesday.
1t was a rough and tumble fight,
both men going to earth before they
could be separated by bystanders.
Neither was injured seriously, though
Mr.. Wolfe sustained a bruise on his
left cheek from a blow delivered by
Mr.. Winter. The fight caused quite
commotion and drew several hundred
people from in and around the taber-
nacle.
1t seems that the difficulty arose
over charges by Winter to the effect
that Wolfe had collected or should
have collected certain fees that have
never been turned into the state treas
ury. After the two spoke Tuesday
Wolfe met Winter on the outside of
the tabernacle and advised him the
charges had gone too far, and told his
opponent he interpreted the charges
to mean that he (Wolie) had misap-
propriated the fees. Mr.. Wolfe then
asked Winter if he would correct the
statement and Winter declared what
he said would stand. Wolfe was said
then to have struck at Winter but
missed him, whereupon Winter follow
ed with a blow to Wolfe's check
Wolfe tripppd or fell to the ground as
Il result of the blow, but Immediately
jumped to his feet and clinched with
his opponent. The two then went TO
earth, both rolling over and over,
Wolfe being on top when Comptroller
General Walter f. Duncan rushed up
in an effort to separate the two. Sew
eral others helped in dragging Wolfe
off Winter and the fight was over.
Wolfe's face was somewhat bloody
from the blow he received. He asked
the peaccmakers why they pulled him
off just as he had gotten on top.
In II statement made after the oc-
currcnce Mr.. Wolfe said he regretted
the incident very much, but declared
he could have done nothing else in the
face of the charges made by Winter.
