Fortunately one man knew the other
mans father in the old country. Had it
not been for that lucky circumstance how
much blood would have flowed Yesterday
afternoon never will be known. It came
about in this way: Two young gentlemen
had got pretty we'll filed up, when ono
challenged the other to fight pitched bat
tie, according to the rules of the London
prize ring, and for this purpose both par
ties repaired to the Wisconsin side, the
ground was selected, the would-be COM
batants stepped up. shook hands, and
stared at each other, when one made the
remark above stated. He had not the heart
to strike the son when he had known the
father. They took one another by the hand
again, and started for home on this side.
The young gentlemen we're waited on by
Officer Walters, who escorted both to the
lookup.
