SETTLING A DISPUTE WITH FISTS
A F.ee Fight Between Two Contestants In
An Open Court Room.
J. H. Livingston and b. II. Ensleke
| appeared in the criminal court at st. Louis
respectively in the role of plaintiff and
defendant. The case was nOlle pressed,
whereupon Engleke said to Livingston,
caro- you satisfied now?" Livingston
replied by applying on approbious
epithet to Engieke, and a rough
and tumble fight in open cour,
was the result. Bystanders at
tempted to separate them, but an ex
judge of the criminal court and bystand
ing lawyers interfered in the interest of a
fair fight, and the two men rolled over
and over upon the floor. The judge be-
sought them to stop fighting, and finally
one of the lawyers proposed an adjourn
ment to the office of the clerk of the court
This was agreed to and the fight was re
sumed there and lasted fully five minutes
Engleke got Livingston down and choket
linn until his tongue protruded. Ths
fight was assuming a serious aspect when
the police, who had been tardi'y summon
ed from the chiefs Office, appeared upon
the scene and rescued Livingston, who
was black in the face, and for severa
minutes was unable to walk. No arrests
were made. Engleke is an attorney and
Livingston is the proprietor of the Wind
sor hotel, one of the fashionable hOstleries
of the city. The charge against Engleke
was that Of cOnspiring to secure possession
of the hotel.
