A foolish fight occurred in this
office last Thursday evening be-
tween Leander Whaley, of Green
Brier Cove, who was attending the
normal at this place, and Euclen
Bailey, one of our toughest town
boys. They became involved in a
senseless quarrel and both used |
indecent and ungentlemanly lam
guage. Whaley struck Bailey two
licks with his fist, whereupon Bal
ley proceeded to floor his antagO-
mist with large monkey-wrench,
inflicting scalp wound of con-
siderable size. The blow knocked
Whaley down and somewhat adj
died him. He was taken to his
room where DR.. J. III. Anderson
dressed his wounds. He was up
next day, however, and has since
returned home. -SevierviIle Star.
