Show FIGHT AT DKWKl VILLE. Two 1U-k1iI-ii( Have Lively FIkIi! in tin- Ito.nl. A little bird hopped down from Dewey vi lie, Wednesday, and told us of a lively scrap which took place up there last week between Jerry Marble and Pugilist Lidi, two prominent residents of that peaceful village. The story runs: The two met on the road and got into a di e id f u I wo rdy w a r o v er some stock, whereupon Lish cleared the fence at a bound and lit on the unprotected back of Marble, gouging goug-ing him in the eye. Lish said the eye was glass and he wanted it for a "taw" to play Marbles with. He jammed his thumb deep into the socket and almost succeeded in accomplishing ac-complishing Ins purpose. Marble was all the time in his vehicle, trying try-ing to hold a fractious horse. Neither Nei-ther of the combatants was a Joshua, so the.y did not stop fighting fight-ing to command the sun to stand still until the battle was over, but tinally wound up. Next day Lish pleaded guilty and was fined $11 for giving his friend too much "salt and batter" at one meal. |
