Silas W. Kruger by Lester A. Rose through
the columns of an alleged newspaper pub,
lished by Rose in Sundays issue culmi-
mated in a street fight in which Mr.. Kruger
was badly punished by Rose. Briefly
stated the facts are, while Rose was talking
with Messrs. Bowman, Fiske and Mattocks
in front of A. Franks clothing store Mr..
Ruger came along, and after an inter
change of words blows were struck, Rose
having decidedly the advantage. The me-
lee was brought to an end by Fred Jones's
pulling Rose off and preventing further
pounding of Mr.. Ruger. Mr.. Bull, motto
ing the affair from the court room, where
he was engaged, ran down to where it had
occurred and as Rose was moving away
struck at him Rose was about to strike
back when Senator Duncan, who had fol
flowed Mr. Bull from the court room, or.
dered him to desist and he did so. Just
after this Mayor Allen appeared on the
scene, when Mr.. Bull accused him of not
discharglng his official duty to keep the
peace. The Mayor denied that he had
seen the fight and hence could not have
stopped it. Words of assertion ard denial
followed and when the Mayor asserted that
If Mr.. Bull said he saw it he lied, Mr.
Bull reached for him, but friends inter
fered. Warrants issued for the arrest OF
Rose and Messrs. Bull and Ruger, for dis
turbing the peace. On Wednesday Rose
had hearing before Squire Calvin and
acquitted, the Court holding that he wa:
not the assaulting party. During the en-
suing week Messrs. Bull and Ruger will
be tried before Police Magistrate Weeks
