lindsay and Lee both worked at
Burch s cornice factory. Lee is big
fellow, and rumor says he took the lib
erty to insult lindsay g wife. lindsay is
a little man, but he made connection
with set of brass knuckles and when
he saw Leo he took the liberty of
wading into said Lee for all he was
worth. The alarm was sprung before
Of6cer Bell and Maddox could get to the
scene of action. Lee was done up and
Fiidsay had fed, leaving the knuckles
with Lee as memento. He had left
few others also, for Lees head is terri
bly, broken up. This was at Wares
bparding house on the square, where Lee
will remain for the present. lindsay is
at large.
