Death. Representative. David Albaugb De Armond of the Sixth Missouri district, who recently died the death of a hero In a vain effort to save the 'life of his Jittle grandson in a fire caused by cross ed wires that destroyed his home in Butler; Mo., was one of the best known men in congress; not only because, of bis long service, , but. because of his character and talents.' His death takes from the Democratic' side its best sea Boned veteran in acknowledged leader ship. Only four men had served long er continuously than De Armond, and all of them 'are Republicans Cannon, Bingham, Payne and Dalzell. On the Democratic side, there were none of longer service . than : De Armond and only two Livingston of -.Georgia , and Jones of Virginia-rwho served as long. De Armond was probably" the fore most parliamentarian on ' the Demo cratic side of the chamber. The fact that the Democratic floor leadership never went to hiin was accounted for by the fact that, despite his signal abil ity and long service, . he' had an ex ceedingly caustic tongue and spared nobody when he . laid about him to chastise friend or A foe. Democrat or Republican. He had many admirers, but, because of bis bitterness, not so many friends. ;.: ;'; '-..!. - "-' Mr. De Armond was the son of 'a locomotive engineer. ;He was born at Duncansville. - near. AJtoona, Pa., in is!, was orougnt up on a farm, re ceived a common school education, at tended an academy at Hollldaysburg and early, in life vent to Missouri .. V Before coming to congress De Ar mond had been a state, senator and circuit judge in Missouri and commis sioner of the state supreme court. Perhaps the' most spectacular event in. the congressional career cf Judge De Armond was his personal Encounter on . the floor -of the- house after' ad journment w-$h John Sharp Williams, his rival for the leadership of the minority. y The two men liad been at odds for years. They kept up an appearance. of amicable relations in the business affairs of the house, as both occupied places as floor leaders of the minority. One afternoon In December ..Williams took a seat besideDe Armond and be gan to discuss; the matter' of a com mittee appointment of one of De Ar mond's colleagues froni Missouri. There was a misunderstanding, Williams in sisting that" De Armond had consulted i.muj Uijttiii . hii flnnmnrmpnr i ttx ai. V Sj iBvnd insisted that no such conversa - Jtiv,, as "Williams sketched had taken 'Iscebut Wmiains said that he would iftik lAi own way about it. ' . v"'If ycrYrtpeat that statement I shall have to bfand it as a lie," said De Armond ' liis cold, imperturbable way, : ''1 do repeat it," hotly returned Wil liams.' "Ttfm you are a liar!" rasped out- i'c Armond. 7r"Jf"i'ou don't mean that. Judge," said f jpf'-Iiliams. 1 es, I do," said the determined De Armoud. "You are a - liar!" : ... - Both men were now standing. ' Wil liams struck out and landed squarely on De Armond's nose. : The latter re plied with a blow that cut a gash un der -Williams' eye They clinched, and Lthe crowd of congressmen and at taches that had' run up .separated the two men. Both were small and light, and little damage was done. There was. talk of a Challenge, but friends induced them to let the matter blow over. -;,;-. - '-'.."... , i . Judge De Armand was a student, and his manner in debate was that of a man who cared more for the truth and logic of his reasoning thairfor stirring the enthusiasm.of his listeners. - G6rallis Opera House, ?
