\RoUGH AND TUMBLE. - Yesterday a
rough and tumble fight came off on Main
street between two individuals who, if
reports be true, have little if any thing
else to do. The result was the arrest Of
both parties and fine of 500. Immedi-
ately after their discharge they had
another fight in a saloon, but as they
had paid pretty well for the day 8 sport
nothing was done about the last one.
