Family Mix-Up.
A general family mix-up and all round
biting tournament occurred Thursday
night in a family on King street. The
new year was ushered in to the tune OF
some lively music, and some of the men,
bers of the family will bear mementos OF
| the fracas for a considerable number OF
days. The male portion of the family has
| figured quite frequently In police and court
circles, and has on more than one occa-
| sion made a number of forced visits to
L .-Il 4 81
| West Side concoctions was the cause OF
the biting carnival, some of the partici-
pants being in such a state that nothing
| short of the sight Of blood would satisfy
their british passions.
IL seems that one of the brothers was
out making New Years eve calls, and upon
his arrival at home, being In particu-
larly surly mood, he proceeded to demon
| strate the fact that he was boss of the
house. The other members of the family
| thought that they had as much right to
occupy a portion of this terrestrial globe
as he, so the fun commenced, and ended
| in one of the brothers receiving severe in
| juries. The neighbors notified the police
| that lively croquet tournament was be-
| ing held in said house, but upon the ar
rival of Officers Stafford and Hardness the
rest of the family refused to make COM
plant against the athletes. Later in the
evening Officer Bloomfield arrested one of
the brothers, and upon his promise to
leave the city for good he was released.
