Presumablj- the memliers of the Pxtcutlve Committee only will attend The fait that the precincts of the cltv will be changed and reduced In iiumler before the fall elettion, will m-ike It necessary to re tugautze the old commlttie to some extent.

In IK'S it openttl downtown campaign quarters on iathr an experimental scale, but the work It accomplished convinced these In charge of the Stato campaign that It was of great Important e. and that It shou'd continue to take an active part In future campaigns.

Action." J BATTLE IN ASAL00N. Daltou and .Malone Fought a IJooinfnl of .Men. A fierce saloon light occurred early jes tertlay morning in John H Filer's place at No Tib Smith Proadwaj. There wero many willing fighters, who took part in the jvffraj, but owing to tile fact tint there were onlj- two men on one side the battlo vva.s short brutal and decisive As a re sult of th- affair. James Daiton and James Jlalone. both mechanic-", are patients at the City Hospital, and the doctors say that It will lie a miracle If Dalton recovers. The circumstances surrounding the bloodj aifraj are hard to ascertain. Nearlj" all the men who wer In the saloon when Jla lone and Dalton entered are habitues of the place, ami their ireatlj varjing statements agreu on but on- point that tfcej- are! their friends were In the right. Thej- saj that the two strangers did not know tho owners of the saloon, and should haebeen more careful. Thi stories of the two men at the hos pital agree In nearlj eviy detail. Thej both bear thu reputation of being jeace hble citizen--, and are unknown to the police. Thej" saj that they had been at th- theiUT and while waiting for their car stepped into Eiler"s saloon to take a drink. When they entered the place was fillet with rouqh-Iooklnif characters. Thij stepped up to the bar and ordered two glasses of beer. Thej said that the bar tender asked 21 for the drinks. Dalton said that that was a high charge to make for beer, and J-stinglj Intimated that the tap ster must tuke them for countrj-men. An argument followed. In which the two men took the ground that 14 cents was, the usual prlie of beer, anil that was, all thej" In tended to pay. During the discu!on the fellows In the saloon tirst stopfed to listen, then gradu ally quit their card games and conversa tion and gathered like a great storm i loud altout the disputants. Dalton sava that when he saw this he realized that he was alone in a hostile clan. and. fearlns that he and his friend were nbout to !o roughly hnndlcd. threw on the counter a dol lar, which coin the barkeeper promptly ranr up em his cash register. Dalton and his friend then started for the --treet. Thev- had nearlj- attained the door when an Iron poker fell on Jlalone's head. Ho went to the floor, and at onco tho entire crowd began to kick him. Dalton sajs that he Interfered, and that while he was UghtiliL- off the enemj with his flats, th" bartender walked from behind the bar and tired two shots into him. He knew noth ing more until he was revived at tho City Hospital. Dalton has two serious bullet wounds In his stomach. Doctor Nletert. assisted bj Senior Assistant Scharff. performed lap arotomy upon the patient, and removed one bullet, but the other vvas imbedded In tho muscles of the stomach, and could not be extracted. Dalton's condition Is consid ered extremely serious. Jlalone Is in a rllf ferent vvanl. with his face and head fear fullj lacerated and numerous bruises all over his bodj. The saloon crowd tell a different story. Pome of the witnesses saj- that tho two men came In and tried to start a dice game, and falling in thi- threw bricks at the bar tender and mirrors. All admit that gas pipes nnd pokers were used, and that the struggle was fierce. There were some ten men against Dalton nnd Jlalone. Th police endetl the nffraj by rushing In and making Indiscriminate arrests. One of tho "aloonmen s.il.1 that the two men left the. saloon and threw bricks through the win dow, then came back into the saloon and Icmbar.Ieil It until the supplj of bricks wn exhausted.
