AN AFFRAY IN RALEIGH.
Street Fight Between Mayor Powell and
Mr. Ed. S. Battle Both Were Badly
Braised The Supreme Conrt.
Special Star Telegram.
Raleigh, N. .C, Sept 25. There
was an affray on Hillsboro street late
this afternoon between Mayor A. M
Powell, of this city, and Mr. Ed. S
Battle, a young attorney of Wilming
ton. Mr. Battle, accompanied by two
friends, Robt L. Gray and R L
Thompson, both prominent met Ma
yor Powell and said, "I have been
looking for you for some time, to tell
you that you maliciously and willful
ly lied in- your testimony regarding
the case against Policeman Bell."
Mayor Powell thereupon struck Bats
tie in the face. Battle, in return, stag
gered the Mayor with a blow on the
nose and struck him again as he, the
Mayor, fell. There was a considerable
souffle on the sidewalk before friends
separated Battle from his antagonist
Both were badly bruised. The case
will be tried before a magistrate to
morrow.
The trouble grewjout of case in the
Mayor's court some time ago in which
Mr. Battle was arrested on the charge
of . disorderly conduct and was dis
charged by the Mayor, and subsequent
trial in which Mr. Battle prosecuted
Policeman Bell for perjury. Mr.
Battle claims Powell swore there was
evidence of Battle's disorderly con
duct but he dismissed the case out of
regard for Battle.
Judge Robinson, in the Superior
Court to-day, reversed the judgment
of the magistrate in taxing Mr. Battle
with the costs in the case instituted
by Battle against Policeman Bell,
charging Bell with perjury. The order
of Judge Robinson gave Battle a
complete legal victory.
The Supreme Conrt.
No Fifth district cases were argued
in the Supreme Court to-day. It is
expected Carter vs. Cape Fear Lum
ber Company, a damage suit, will
come up to-morrow, and the New
Hanover vs. DeRosset road bond suit
very soon thereafter.
PRAISED BY PRESS AND PEOPLE.
Favorable Criticism of "Other People s
Money" by Lynchburg Paper.
Cf "Other People's Money," the re
fined comedy to be presented at the
Opera House Friday night by Mr.
Hennessy Leroyle, the Lynchburg
News of September'20th has the fol
lowing complimentary reference:
'Mr. Hennessy Leroyle. the well
known comedian, made his second visit
to Lynchburg last evening and pre
sented to a most appreciative audience
his laughable and highly entertaining
play. "Other People's Money." On the
occasion of his first visit Mr. Leroyle
made a most favorable impression, and
consequently every one who went to
the Opera Mouse last evening antici
pated a most enjoyable performance.
and that no one was disappointed was
clearly shown in the hearty applause
and laughter with which the efforts of
Mr. Leroyle and his support were re
ceived. "Other People's Money" is a de
lightfully amusing piece, full of in
tensely ludicrous situations, and tne
manner in which it is presented ren
ders it a rare treat for all who love the
humorous and mirthful. Of course,
Mr. Leroyle was the star of tne pro
duction, but there were other members
of the company worthy or snaring in
the honors. Mr. Leroyle was the princi
pal feature of the picture, but the de
tails were filled in effectively and
harmoniously by the excellent work
of the clever people whom he has se
cured for the season. It has been a
lone time since Lynchburg theatre
goers have had an opportunity of en
joying a better comedy than "Other
People's Money," and the position
which Mr. Leroyle has won in the
estimation of Lynch burgers will as
sure him in years to come a generous
reception and a liberal patronage."
Beats for tne appearance nere are
now on sale at Oerken's. The prices
are $1.00, 75, 50 and 25 cents.
