made mention of scrap" between the
Postmaster at Blaine and Will Kinsey
over the alleged delay of letter, in
which Kinsey was badly worsted. Now
the report comes of another fight grow
ing out of the same feud. A few days
ago David Crawford, brother of the
Postmaster, met KInsey in the road,
when counter charges were made against
each other, and the lie was passed. They
finally decided to take it out according
to John L. Sullivan style. Crawford,
who is large man, was of the opinion
that he could "dO" Kinsey, while the lat
ter, who is also large man, was of the
contrary opinion. After rough and
tumble of few minutes Crawford sue
cumbed. The parties declare the end is
not yet.
