over who WAS to hold down the pot. AZ
argument did not seem effective, how
ever, the great principle OF arbitration
was thrown to the wind and war de-
clered. What followed is best known by
the results. Kaplin was the most un-
fortunate fellow of the outfit, coming
out with a broken collar-bone, a mashed
nose and generally disfgured appear
ance. He claims that Newhall was the
chief cause of all his woes, and that
after knocking him (Kaplin) down he
proceeded to kick him, breaking his
