There was lively rumpus in Squire
Coleman's Office yesterday afternoon.
Half dozen or more were mixed up
in the fracas, the prominent actors
being Chief of the Fire Department
McFadden and Mr.. w. T. B. Mattox,
former member of the Hook and
Ladder, between which pair no
friendly feelings have existed for
some time. At the fire yesterday
morning the trouble began by bad
words. Mattox had McFadden ar
rested on a State warrant for abusive
language. The second edition of the
row was at the 'SQuire's Office, when
the case came up for hearing. The
peace quarters were suddenly turned
into a rough and tumble prize ring,
no money being up, but one Of the
principals put up $25 after the fun to
pay his fine. A remark from Nc
Fadden not complimentary to Mattox
caused the latter to smash chair over
the Chiefs head. Then the striker
was hoped on by several bystanders,
all of whom seemed DESTROYS Of liter

Captain 0'Haver sailed
in and came out covered with blood,
not his own, however. The quarrel
was in due time squelched, and fine
or two inflicted by the outraged court
merely for demolishing the furniture.
Thirty dollars or more were taken in
and the rest charged up. A third
edition of the frolic, it is reported,
resulted in a knock down on the
streets between a couple of the par
ties interested at later hour.
