Stoner Strikes Boynton.
-----
Waco, Tex., Nov. 15.--Some excitement was created here yesterday when it became
known that United States District Attorney, Chas. A. Boynton had been assaulted
by ex-Postmaster W. A. Stoner. The meeting took place on a prominent
street and it is said to be an echo of the postoffice figh (sic) which resulted
in the defeat of Mr. Stoner and the selectioin (sic) of W. H. Hoffman.
Mr. Stoner plead guilty to an affray and
was assessed a small fine by the city judge. Mr. Boynton was not fined as
he made no effort to "strike back," Mr. Stoner being a much older man than he.
