Show A free Fight in Omaha's Council. Omatta, Xeb., Xov. 30. V special meeting of the city council Saturday night wound up in a big row, in which three counciimen severely se-verely pounded each other, and the spectators specta-tors present had to separate them. There has been bad blood some time between Councilman Snecht, Moriarily and Biumer, on account of charges of boodling. After words, Blumcr grasped Speeht by the throat, and the latter retaliated w ith a sledge-hammer-like blow, which drew blood from Blu-mer's Blu-mer's mouth. The men grappled and fell, when Moriarity rushed up and began kicking kick-ing Specht. One of the spectators objected to his kicking the man when down, and, when Moriarity did not desist, the objector laid the beiigerant kicker low with a blow which cut an ugly gash in Moriarity's chin. By this time the other counciimen and spectators spec-tators rushed iu and separated the men, and the meeting adjourned. |
