Show BLIND BEGGARS FIGHT FOR GOOD CORNER PRIVILEGE FORT WORTH, Texas. Two blind beggars fighting desperately for the privilege of monopolizing tho corner of Fifth and Houston streets, was the novel sight that attracted hundreds of pedestrians here recently. It appears that one of ,tho beggars had dominated th? corner, a fruitful one, for seme time, and that the second sec-ond mendicant, appearing on the scene earlier, refused to vacate. Hence the battle. Finally, after repeated calls for help from police headquarters, by several merchants, a policeman appeared. Surveying the two beggars nonchalantly, nonchal-antly, the guardian of the law sent both on their way, declaring: "It's a case of the blind hitting the blind, Instead of leading them." No arrests v.-ermade. |
