4. Lillian Russell, who is stopping at the Midland hotel, yesterday afternoon received the following message over the telephone: "Mr. Mower, of Boston, and J. E. Gentry are at the Coates House and would like to have you come over and drink champagne with them.

If you are too tired they will drive over to your hotel." Miss Russell was furious over the "insolent" message and handed it to her brother-in-law, Mr. Fred G. Ross, who went over to the Coates House and inquired for the two men. He met Mr. John II.

Gentry of Sedalia, first, and showed him the message and inquired if he sent it. The question was repeated, but before any reply was given Ross struck Mr. Gentry a light blow on the side of the head and attempted to strike him again, but several men in the hotel office prevented any more violence. After some words passed between the men and Mr. Ross explained what had caused the fight, he was released and went in search of Mr.

Gentry is still in town. Investigation discloses the fact that Mr. Mower was introduced to Mr. Gentry by a regular army officer yesterday at the Coates. Mower told Mr.

Gentry that he knew Miss Russell very well and invited Mr. Gentry to meet Miss Russell. Accordiagly, Mower called up the Midland, where Miss Russell is stopping. Upon being told that Mr. Gentry wanted to see her she said she did not know him, and the Coates was so informed over the telephone.

Thereupon Mower went to the telephone and dictated the message to the Midland bell boy captain, who sent it up to Miss Russell. This Was about 4 o'clock. The prima donna was furious and sent broadcast for Mr. Ross. The simple fact is that Mr.

Geutry was taken advantage of by Mower and did not realize what an impropriety was 11 1 pen M'KINLEY AND BRYAN VOTED EARLY. SCENES AT THE BOOTHS.
