A sTREET-FIGHT

A sensation here this afternoon was a
fight between Samuel G. White, ex-
cashier OF the smashed State National
Bank, and John g. Williams, his nephew,
who was formerly employed IN the bank.
The fight began on the sidewalk and
ended in the bank. White had a cane
with which he struck Williams, who
then threw him to the floor. The cause
of the affair is said to have been evidence
against White given by Williams, and
also statements made by the latter.
