"A Bloody Fight Between Two
Young EIeu-NOtes About Town.

Young Meu-Notes About Town.
On Saturday night about IL o'clock two
men who had been drinking considerably
got into dispute in Main street saloon
about game of cards. They decided to go
over into Wisconsin and fight it out. A
hack was procured and they were driven
over to a point near the Wisconsin end of
the bridge. Two friends accompanied
them to act as referees. A rough and tum-
Die fight was decided upon and the two be-
gan smuggling each other less than one min
ute after spot was selected. They fought
tor nearly fifteen minutes, until finally
parted by the referees, who declared the
hack chewed his opponents neck and ear
while he was chewing one of his fingers.
During the brutal encounter one of the par
Elephants had his shirt torn from his back
while the other one had his trousers badly
torn and lost his suspenders and one of his
shoes. They were covered with blood and
sand and presented frightful appearance.
When they were parted they shook hands
and were driven rapidly to Saltwater.
From what can be learned the fellow who
hired the hack, paying 50 for it, came out
second best and now thinks of having his
ears measured. The fellow who had his
finger chewed so terribly was around yes
terday looking for physician. Both reside
in Saltwater, but their names could not be
ascertained. 1t is said that they work on
the lake. 1t is not likely that any arrests
will be made
