Carter jostled Sprends in passing,
which led to angry words and later to
| fight. Other men soon came upon
| the scene, among whom were friends
| Of both the combatants, and within
| few minutes there was q throng of
| fighting and cursing men, armed with
knives and clubs, which were used with
| bloody effect. At the height of the
| fight there was cry Of police as a pa
| troll wagon filed with bluecoats came
| dashing down the hill. Many of the
/ participants in the battle fled, but a
| number, rendered unconscious or
| too badly injured to escape, were piled
into a patrol wagon and taken to the
police station. Others were removed in
ambulances to the hospital. 1t is said
there is broken head in nearly every
house on the hill.
