GRIFFITH IS PEEVED
He and Oneida County As
semblyman Came Near
Blows at Madison—Battle
Was Wordy.
According to Milwaukee news
papers Barney N. Moran, repre
sentative of Oneida county, and
Sta te Forester Griffith came near
to blows last week at Madison.
1 hey fought a wordy battle
w hich was ended by friends of
both parties separating them.
It is claimed by Mr. Moran
that Griffith got a bill through
the senate appropriating $30,000
for fighting forest fires. Mr.
Moran asked him about it and
told him that if he would allow
him to reduce it to $5,000 he
would allow it to gothrough the
assembly. Ihis was five times
the amount the forestry depart
ment has been spending accord
ing to Barney, who claims that
Griffith told that previously he
had expended but SI,OOO per
year.
Griffith objected to this and is
said to have declared that if
Moran got in the way of the bill
when it went to the senate he
would publish him all over the
state as a man against all ap
propriations having as their ob
ject the protection of the state’s
property. Moran told him to go
ahead, and several other mem
bers of the house who were pres
ent, also urged Griffith to add
their names to the list.
