The Evening critic., 1883-01-31
WEST WASHINGTON.

A fight took place on Analostan Island
between two young gentlemen Of the First
Ward, Messrs Williams and Kessler In
the first round Kessler knocked Williams
down by powerful blow on the bridge
of the nose, striking him with such force
that he knocked three of his own fingers
out of joint After nine more hardly fought
rounds friends interfered and the fight
was stopped The puglists then returned
through this place, accompanied by their
friends, and made every effort to keep the
affair as quiet as possible. 1t is very prob
able that both young gentlemen will honor
Judge Smell with an interview, as IL is un-
derstood that warrants arc out for their
arrest
The second assembly given by the young
married men of this place at Forrest Hall
last night was, if possible, more pleasant
than the preceding one. The many hand
some toilets worn by the youth and beauty
OF this quiet burg caused the largo hall
TO present scene of unusual beauty. The
floor was in SPLENDID condition for dauc-
ing, and Webers band furnished the most
delightful music. The guests left
at late hour this morning,
well pleased with the evenings
entertainment. Among the many present
were: Mr. and Mrs. f. ID. Hartley, Mr.. and
Mrs. o. A. Stevens, Mr. and Mrs. John j.
