Mr.. Oscar Patzig asks the LIGHT to state
that when the Brockman fight, reported yes
terday, commenced, Brockman struck his
friend Fisk over the head several times with a
cane, and he only interfered to protect his
friend, when Brockman struck him with a
cane and he hit him with his fist. Mr.. Brock
mans friend, Nagel, interfered and a free
fight ensued, in which the Brockman party
were worsted. as is evidenced by the appear
ance Of the combatants. Whatever hits he
and his friend got were done by a cowardly
use of Brockman's cane.
