Shortridge and James W. Rea had a lively encounter in the La- ! molle Hause at noon to-day. .The statesman received a ip and a sprained and bruised leg. Two panes of glass in the front door were shattered and a general commotion cre- ated. Rea emerged from the fight with | only the serenity of his temper jarred. A heav decanter and two pairs of fists were used. The row was the outcome of an article published in the Evening Herald on Wednesday evening criticizing the management of the defunct Union Savings Bank, of which Rea is president. For the past two days rumors of an im- pending fight between the two have been going around town, and it is said that last night Rea was looking for Shortridge. About noon to-day Shortridge called at Rea’s office to see the ex-boss and was told the latter was in the Lamolle House, a few doors away | Entering the hotel the editor found Rea at luncheon in a box with W. J. | Leet, Mr. Hornbeck of Gilroy and A. H. | Holman. In an adjoining box was Senator | Louls Oneal, David Hogan of San Fran- | cisco, Supervisor Paul P. Austin and Emil Lamolle, and these were interested spec- tators of the trouble. t at the end of the | table at which Rea was seated. The two | men passed the time of day in a pleasant | manner_and _then Shortridge inquired about Union Bank affairs. He asked sev- eral questions concerning the doings of the board of directors this morning. Rea said they had sold some land near Fresno for 31000, which sum would run the bank r a month. O Yo surely don’t want 1t published that it costs $1000 & month to run the bank? | the doughty Senator asked. | "The question enraged Rea. It was re- | marked by some one present that $425 was | about the cost of conducting the bank for | a month, and Rea nodded assent. Rea then angrily told the editor that he want- | ed nothing published but the truth, and | that he did not like the article that had already appeared. Shortridge made some | bantering remark, and Rea gaid he would | stop his publishing such stuff. The Sena- | tor replied that the many newspaper mcn | who had roasted Rea were still alive and | that he could not be intimidated. | “Shortridge was seated In a chair a few feet away.

Shortridge then retired to Shortridge threw his head to one side and the heavy bottle struck him on the left shoulder,” knocking him from his chair. According to Shortridge, Rea then jumped upon him and kicked him on the leg and the abdomen. Those in the box interfered and took Rea off Shortridge. The Senator was rushed out into the front office, but in a few minutes Rea broke away from those holding him and was after his man. He rained blows rl%ht and left on Shortridge. They struggied toward the front doors, where Rea landed a powerful blow on the Senator’s mouth, loosening several teeth and knocking him against the front doors, shattering two large panes of glass. Rea was about to follow up this advantage, but the guests of the place interfered and separated the the parlor of the hostelry to dress his wounds, arrange his tie and quaff a glass of bromo seltzer to settle his nerves, | while Rea left the place, sought the inner | office of his real estate establishment flndl retused to be interviewed except at the end of a telephone line. . Rea intimates that the trouble had its origin in his refusal to patronize Short- | ridge's paper. The latter has recently gone into ofl ventures and friends of the ex-boss assert that the latter's refusal to buy ofl stock and to loan Shortridge $100 inspired the article criticizing Rea's management of the Union Savings Bank. Rea is much the larger man and had his blow with the decanter struck Shortridge on the head it probably would have crushed the skull. Friends. of both men predict further trouble. - 'CORONER'S JURY BLAMES RAILWAY FOR THE WRECK [ Renders a Censuring Verdict in the | Inquest Over the Bodies of Victims of the Suisun | Disaster.

The evidence was of a contradictory na- ture. Conductor Steele declared that he made an inquiry regarding delayed freight Train No. 201, wEich collided with his work train.

SEARCHERS FAIL T0 FIND TRACE OF WALTER BROOKING Relatives and Friends of the Del Norte County Huntsman Hold to the Theory That He Was Murdered. ——— Epecial Dispatch to The Call. CRESCENT CITY, Dec. 7.—Three weeks have elapsed since the strange disap- pearance of young Walter Brooking of Smith River in the mountains in the northern part of Del Norte County. Though a constant search has been main- tained, on trace of him has been discov- ered. That he is dead can scarcely be doubted. The only theory that could negative this Xresumptlon is that possi- bly, from accident or other cause, he be- came suddenly bereft of reason and wan dered away into some remote region, His famillarity with the topography of the country for many miles around precludes all idea of his having become lost, if in his proper mind. The territory through which his course was directed, or over which he would have roamed In quest of game, has been so thoroughly examined that further investigation in that region is_regarded as useless. The commonly accepted theory is that Brooking has been murdered, and that his body has been buried, and that to conceal the crime his dog, also, was dis- patched and its carcass secreted. Two brothers of the missing man, Harry and George Brooking, arrived by the latest steamer from San Francisco to join in the search. Thelir investigations will, at first, be confined to a region not far 'distant from the residence of Paul Frederick, on Winchuck River, in which locality two gunshots were heard by per- sons living further down the river the day after that upon which Walter Brook- ing should have reached Frederick's ouse. e e Found Dead in Bed. HANFORD, Dec. 7.—Rose Ide, a woman 86 years old, who came from San Fran- cisco two weeks ago to work for B, K. Sweetland In Lemoore as a domestic, was found dead in bed on Thursday morning.

Davis of 613 How. ard street, San Francisco, who conduc an employment bureau. The Coroner tel- egraphed to Mis. Davis that Rose Ide was dead and received an answer telling him to hold the body until rich relatives of the dead woman were found. —e—————— For a Cold in the Head.

She sald she took the whip from the socket | of her brother’ buggy and drew it through her hands, debating whether she should strike the professor, but put it | back. Professor Martin again laughed, and she immediately took the whip and struck him twice, saying as she did so: “I have been waiting for this.” Mrs. Taylor declared that Professor Martin had harassed her repeatedly, and his actions toward her had so preyed upon her mind as to bring about a state of intense nervousness. John S. Taylor followed his wife on tHe witness stand.

A well-known professor has made the fortu- nate discovery that what has heretofore been known as impotency or lost manhood is due to paralysis of the nerves. As it requires a vig- orous condition of the nerves to control the muscles, the professor has found a wonderful power that instantly awakens the nerves and thus restores complete muscular strength. He says: The marvelous power exerted by recent additions end improvements to my electric belt and appliances induces me to send it on 30 days' free trial, so certain am I that it will cure and that the wearer will gladly pay the small price asked after the 30 days' trial.
