c. Nelson were the hunters, and when the
heads were counted Behmeyer had two,
Marigold three and Nelson three.
A Belligerent Bootblack
There was lively fight here last evening
between two bootblacks by the names Of
Leon Price and E. A. Akers. 1t seems
that Price was Intoxicated, and came up
the day endeavoring to make trouble. But
Akers would have nothing to say to him.
Late Yesterday afternoon Price came back
to Akers' place and commenced to rail at
him. There were several ladies standing
near, and Akers asked Price to move On,
and not cause any disturbance. Price
then started towadr him. Fearing that he
would draw a knife, Akers grabbed foot
rest out of the stand and hit Price over the
head with 1t, cutting cash about five
inches long and breaking the foot rest.
Deputy Constable Garretson saw the whole
affair, and after 1t was over took Price to
the Jail as the aggressor. Akers after
wards swore out complaint charging
Price with disturbing the peace. When
the case came UP in Justice Whitney's
court this morning Price was given $40 or
ten days. Having no cash, he was sent
over to serve the ten days.
