EARLY MORNING ROW.
Billy Soils Punched BY Another
Hack Driver

Billy Soils, the hackman was on the
rampage early this morning. He came
about 2:30 o'clock, ana ran against an
other hack driver by the name Of Cur
tbs, who straightway proceeded to poke
Billy in the nose. The blood flowed
freely from the injured proboscis, and
Billy thought he was killed. He yelled,
Help! Murderi I'm killed." and ran
into the oxford saloon. The bartender
and the few nighthawks who were there
thought that another tragedy had been
enacted. An examination showed that
the whole trouble consisted of an over
load of whisky and q bloody nose.
Billy was taken home in a carriage by
a fellow hack driver and the trouble
ended.
