Severai white men, members of -the Fifteenth United H tales Infantry, and Fourth United' States cavalry, from the poet, ware In the resort when three negroes, -all members of tho Ninth United States cavalry, entered and a light followed. The white men attempted to eject the negores and the latter drew pistols. and began firing. The white men replied to the fire, and It le, believed that one of-the negroes was wounded; Two white men fell at the drat Are. There had boon considerable 111 feeling manifested prior to tho open warfare. The Fourth United States cavalry had arrived from the caet to relieve the Ninth cavalry, and -It Is charged that many of Its members wore intoxicated on their arrival at tho post. ; They wars entWtatnod by the Fif teenth Infantrymen and as the 'night continued the Intoxication, spread. It is asserted by some that a quarrel took place in the bouse prior to the arrival of the negroes, and that Several men other than those reported bear lighter wounds. In the tight with the negroes knives and pistols wore freely used. ' Tho man killed was a member of the Fourth oavalry, and the one fatally in jured a member of the Fifteenth In fantry. Whsn the news of the shooting spread over the town, men swarmed from ail the side Streets, resorts and saloons of tho town and a general fight approach ing s riot began, in which 460 men en gaged, but fortunately there is nothing to show that weapons were need. The "buck" soldiers of the Ninth lined themselves up against the Fourth and Fifteenth, and tho street for s time was filled with fighting men. Tho In fantrymen wore victorious, and It is as serted by some of the participants set lira to the resorts out of revenge. Not only the house In which the fight oc curred, but the two adjoining, wore completely destroyed, while tho In mates fled to the strsef In thin garb. Another story Is to tho effect that In the melee a. lamp In the eentrat house, which was a two-story frame structure, was overturned, and that while the men were fighting in the street In front the are spread to tho other two buildings. In the oon fusion the three negroes who commenced the shooting made their way to the railway station, whore an early train was pulling out for San Francisco, boarded It and escaped.

This Is the club which fitted up elab orate gambling rooms last summer. It expended an enormous amount of money ' to furnish the. elubrooms. When tho time came for opening up they were prevented from doing so by the polioe. It was thought at that time that the Portland club, not desiring a rival, had brought Influence to bear upon the mayor and the police to prevent the new club from opening. The , equabbie finally ended In the mayor erderina the poolrooms at the Portland club to close. Besides the Warwick club. It Is stated that several other clubs will open pool rooms throughout the city.

It Is expected; however, that these rooms will be closed ss soon aa tho rooms on this side of the city open, ss ait the trade will be diverted to the larger and more popular resorts in the business section of the city.
