United States Hotel was the scene
of two brolls last evening, in the
first of which u knife and pistol
were drawn, the man with the
knife cutting through the clothing
of his antagonist, but, fortunately,
inflicting no wound. Officer Fonck
came upon the scene at this juno
ture and arrested the man with the
knife, letting the other, who had
but one arm, go as he had drawn
his pistol in self defence. The sec
ond fracas occurred in the same
neigh borhood about half an hour
later and was simply fistcuff, and
as officer Fonck rode up the COM
batants separated, one going up
street and the other down. Fonck
gave chase and took in one of the
party, the other escaping. Both
the captured belligerents will have
a hearing before Judge Peel this
morning.
