On Thursday afternoon a bloody
fight occurred near the Streetsboro'
line, between John and VIM. Bowers
on one side, and George Grabell on
the other. The Bowers were taken to
the Kent lookup as the assaulting
party. They were to have their ex-
animation on Monday, but we have
not learned the result.
