Local Briefs
3/10/1896 - Alice Fogle, married, and Gay Bell, unmarried, suburban
residents, got into a dispute about some trifling matter last Thursday
morning and some hot words passed between them, but the matter blew
over
until some time in the afternoon, when, by accident or otherwise, they
met in the road in front of Mrs. Hosey's residence where they
proceeded
to settle their differences in the Fitzsimmens-Maher style. One
round
of about five minutes was fought without time-keeper referee.
The
punishment, outside of hair pulling, was not very great. The
names
of one or two right prominent gentlemen got mixed up in the
quarrel.
We are sorry to give publicity to matters of this kind, but the
business
in which we are engaged makes it our duty to do so.
