RANSOM IN A ROW.
Just before the committee rose How ell's
amendment was put to a vute and the cor
rectness of the clerk's count waa challenged
by both friends and opponents ot the bill.
Ihrco s-andlng votes were taken and ettll
both sldi.fi icfiincd lo be sat'sfied. Then a
roll call was oidcrcd In committee of the
whole. The ( list loll call wc.i challeiiKed
ind Ransom chaigcJ that the clerk had pur
posely juggled tlio vote. A scene followed
In which the lie was all but passed between
senator nnd clcrl * . The affair received Ita
nnluhlng touch tonight at the Lincoln hotel
shortly befoio 0 o'clock , when a personal
encounter occurred In the hotel lobby be
tween Senator Ransom aiU W. M. Clary ,
rlerk of the committee of the whole. Ran
som stood In front of the clerk's counter
talKIng with Casper n. Vest of Omaha In
regard to the vote In the , -cnate , when CInry
came up and with some excitement In hla
manner began to rt'hcarso the events ot llio
ifterncon In thofacnuto Ransom twice warned
C'lary ' to stay away , as he wanted no trouble ,
but nt the : > amo time ho repeated his state
ment that Olaiy had Intentionally perverted
the roll call. Hot vvordo followed , and then
Clary called the- Douglas county senator a
liar. No aooncr did Clary ai ply the epithet
than RaiiGom slapped him In the fact ) with
hla open hand , The two men clinched anil
i number of hard blows pa&'cd between them
btforo they wcro separated by Louis J.
I'Httl of Omaha , who tluow hlnii'elf between
them at the fliat blow. Ransom Is a much
larger and heavier man than Claiy nnd came
Dut ot the conflict unmarked but Clary waa
considerably cut up and his face bled pro
fusely from the blow a he had received.
The hotel 10 unrta was crowded at the
time , and the encounter took place In the
[ ircsonco of the judges of the supreme court ,
the mayor and chief of police of Lincoln and
a lai go number of piomlr.cnt cltUens from
other parts of the ( state.
The Hcnaio gallciics nnd lobbies wcrq
ucked by u laigo audience all afternoon and
nany of the gpfalters wcio roundly ap
ilaudej.
