On Sunday night a committee Of Troop
c, Cavalry, held a consultation at the liquor
store OF J. +. Wynne, 10 Flstbush avenue, Brook
lyn. in regard to a ball which their corps pur-
poses giving in week or two. They ad Journed
at about midnight, and Mr.. Wynne had Just seen
them out, and was In the act Of shutting the
door, when two men pushed their way in. They
were men Of medium size, and were we'll
dressed, although one looked Ike a rowdy and
the other like gentleman. The one who nrst
entered wore a mouse Sulored overcoat and
| light pants the other ful black suit with "a
coat which still showed the gloss OF the shop.
Mr.. Wynne stopped 20 lock the door and was
| In the act of closing Il, when he heard scune
and two or three sounding blows, which fell
with heavy thud. He turned and saw the two
men standing In the centre Of the room In first
class r. H. position and going for each other
ike amateur COhurns. First one would get in a
olaIet fletcher with his right duke" then
the other would retort with trap closer"
clevcrly administered with his left, and then
would come season Of fierce wrestngs, a fall,
ii struggle ON the floor, and more blows Neither
oi the boxers uttered word, but both kept up
steady pumnelling much more delightful TO
witness than to experience.
As soon as he could gather his scattered facul-
ties, Mr.. Wynne, who Is a young man OF more
than average muscular Development succet 4 ID
Ia separating the loOd-staincd combatants, but
the bar than they went at IL again, this time
with bluodthirstlness which knows no parallel
in hstlc records, Passion got the better OF the
hitherto honoTed rules Of the prize ring, and the
men role and tumbled on the floor, biting and
rouging each other like bulldogs for two or
l4f.e minutes, During this little gymnastic ex-
hbtion (which Mr.. Wynne, II need not be said,
had but little appreciation fOr), the struggling
men knocked down the heater, broke globe,
and left clOts Of blood on the floor TO mark
those spots where the fight had been most fierce
word.
MIR. WyDne found a policeman after some
trouble, but while he was looking for him an
other oAicer had come To the store, scared
away the puglsts, and closed the place up.
Just below the store two men were loudly talk
Ing, and the officer hearing one OF them propose
To come back and break In the front OF the store,
took them into custody, At the police station
they gave their names as Jeremiah Nolan and
Daniel Canning, but refused to give any explana-
tiOn as to the cause Of the tight Before lea wing
Mr.. Wynne's store they kicked In and broke a
few Of the panes OF glass In the windows and
doors. Mr.. Wynne says he never saw either OF
the men before, and that he has no idea of their
reason for Invading his quiet store and making
IL the scene OF 1stlc encounter. He has de-
cided not 10 prosecute them.
