A short time afterwards, Mr. Rosewater was talking with Auditor Moore in the main corrldor, a short distance from the entranc 10 representative hall,when Sheridan slipped up behind the editor of Tiue Bee just as Moore turned away and dealt him a blow on the temple, knocking him down. Sheridan at once clutched Mr.Rosewater by the throat and was choking him, when Hon ¥.. P. Roggen, ex-secretary of state, who w just entering the hall of representatives, heard the scuffie, and hurrying to the spot smashed Sheridan between the eyes gen's feet slipped on the matting and he went to the floor, carried down by the force of his blow. Sheridan released his hold on Josewater and jumped upon the prostrate form of Roggen, and began belaboring him in the face. Took an Informal Adjournment. All this had happened in an incredibly short space of time, but the cries of one of thoattendants at the candy stand when the lest blow was struck had attracted the at- tention of nearly every one in the great structure and the legislators came pouring out of their halls without waiting for the formality of an adjournment. Those who first arrived separated the bel Sheridan and Roggen were forced apart.

Both parties were furious and the intervention of a dozen men necessary to prevent a resumption Tostilities. Roggen was finally forced down the hall to the rooms of the attorney gen- eral and Sheridan was taken into the bill room and the door locked. ‘The corridor w packed with a curious crowd anxious to hear the story of what they had been unable to The speaker pounded for several minutes with his gavel before he succepded in re- storing order, but was not able to get all the members back to their seats, and an ad- journment was taken until 2 o'clock to allow the excitement to die away. Caused Great Excitement. The battle of the heavyweights was the only topic of conversation during the noon lrecess. Mpth Roggen and Sheridan are large men, over six feet in height and weighin, over 2% pounds, and the coilision of these ‘giants will mot be forgotten around the stat house for many a day. Although both were {badly mashed, neither was severely hurt, and with liberal applications of cold water 'and raw beef both were able to appear at their respective hotel tubl Mr. Rosewater was not noticeably marked Dy the blow that was struck him, the lump that was raised by it yielding readily to cold water treatment, Sheridan’s assault on Mr. Rosewater was of o most brital and cowardly nature, in that it was unexpected and the blow was struck from behind when the victim did not know this assailant was anywhere in that inity. ‘Work of Rosewater's Enomlies. Just before the house was called to order this afternoon an immense vase of roses was born into representative halland placed upon Seridan’s desk. A card uttached bore the inscription: “By admiring friends, for face of o maligner of characte b s Another smaller placed there labelled, ¢ Tin Bee." The action of the enemies of Rosewater pnd certain members of the railroad lobhy in thus expressing approval of the brutality was openly condemned by members of all parties. Higgins of Custer, one of the in dependent leaders, declared that it was a disgrace to the state to see such an endorse. menc of the actions of Sheridan for the past weel. Sheridan appeared in the hall with forehead covered with court plaster. Some of the members uttempted to applaud, but the gavel fell shiarply and put & stop to any demonstration. Sheridan appeared to enjoy the notoriety that he had suddenly acquired, and smiled complacently as he noticed the curious glances that were turned in his divection. Plens Ringsters. < “Tho fracas in the state house has been tho only topic this aftornoon in the Capital City, aud tonight nothing else is heard in the hotel rotundas. Sheridan's assault on the editor of Tug Ber, has, of course, filled the railroad rin: sters with insane delight, and it has been night of rejoicing among the corruptionists. The seuding of flowers to the desk of Sheridan indicated how the individuals against whom the tide of public sentiment is 80 strong felt about the occurrence, as the large vase of Howers was the testimonial of s0me of the present and ex-state officiuls, and the present state house citizens whose penchant for float embles Lincoln citizens Lincoln sentiment is molded by the noto rious Lincoln ring, and the sontiment of the ring is now, as it has always been, rabidly anti-Rosewater. It is nothing but force of habit for them to applaud everything that is said or done against Rosewater, und that is how it was that Sheridan’s entry to the house this afternoon called forth the plaudits of the lobby.

They ex- press regrot that the action of this one member must reflect on the entiro body, and tend to bringdisgrace upon the state. Among those who are loudest in their pressions of exhilaration and approval the state offfcers whose conduct in the past has called forth the condemnation of Tie Bee and of every honest citizen.
