WANTED A FIGnT.
a young man named Bevills, a
new conner, filled up on red liquor
last Monday, and then started on the
hunt of fight, favor which, as a
general thing man can always be
accommodated to just for the asking,
except perhaps, ON extra occasions,
when the boys are dressed up in
their best bib and tucker, and Oh
their way to their best girls house,
when they have leen known to GO
a whole block out of the way to
avoid soiling their clothes. In this
instance, the town boys were reliev-
ed of the job. In Humphreys sa-
loon he found Mr.. Ike Daugherty
and two Of his neighbors, from Big
Lake, who had jus; stepped in, and
whom he bantered for a game OF
of Billiards. As Mr.. Dapgherty took
a chair to sit down he held 1t up 4
moment and remarked that this wa,
the. game he liked best to play, a
the same time setting the chair dow
and taking a seat on it. AT thli
Bevills became incensed, and will
an oath drew back IA billiard cue an,
struck wicked blow at him, but n
luck would have it the blow wa
caught by a hanging Lamp whcI
was broken into fragments. Befor,
he could recover to strike the sec
ond blow, Mr.. Daugherty was up
and using the chair warded off th'
second blow. BY this time Mr.. u,
friends came up to his rescue, whel
the fght-seekipg Bevills suddenl,
concluded be had business elsewher
and took a hasty leave and disap
peared in the darkness; and it wa
well perhaps he did, as the Big LAX
ers realizing the warranted an
outrageous character of the assaul
were more than willing to gratif
his thirst for blood. The case was u
before the J. P's. court next day
and the county Treasury was swell
ed very considerably.
