man of Newnope, Pa, and a youth OF thus
town have both for some time past been
in love with the same fair damsel. The
young men, who before were the warmest
of friends, became the hitterest rivals. and,
it is said, every time they met hot words
were exchanged over the young lady.
A few evenings ago one of them was
walking along the street with the coveted
sweetheart, when the rival lover stepped
up and asked the girl to accompany him 10
an ice cream parlor, and she accepted the
Invitation. This SO enraged the deserted
rival that the next day he sent a challenge
to the other to fight it out, the one coming
off victorious to have the girl all to him.

The fight was arranged for Wednesday
night. a referee was chosen, and the prin-
cipals, accompanied by many friends, went
on the towpath near the stone crusher. A
ring was formed and the fight began. The
blows rained thick and hard for several
rounds. The last time they came to the
scratch one OF them was knocked out and
failed to come up when time was called.
The referee declared the New Hope youth
the victor, but the Jerseyrhan claimed a
foul and says he is not yet satisfied. This
mill took place almost before the police
and was witnessed by quite a crowd.
