Enthusiastically afternoon a fight
occurred in che Brewery saloon between
Jim Richards and Frank James, during
which Richards had James thumb be-
tween his teeth and tried 10 bite it of,
but was prevented from doing so by an
outsider catching him by the throat
and squeezing his iugular until be was
glad to quit biting. His intention was
good enough, for he intended to bite his
nntagonist's thumb off and stand q
chance Of going 10 the State Prison.
This is not the first occurrence of Rich

attempts, and then he'll quit it.
