POLICE COURT.
Wicked Street Fight-Butcher Knife
PLAYS Prominent Part,

A wicked street fight is said to have
taken place last evening between Will
bur Baker and Frank O'Neil, the later
a bar tender in Bagnell's saloon at
the corner of Main and Washington
streets with restaurant attachment
in the rear. Altho the parties did not
yet it was learned that they We're plac-
ed under arrest and may be tried later.
AS Courier reporter learned the
story, it seems that Baker was in the
restaurant, in which it is claimed beer
is sold on Sunday and after closing
hours at night, and is said to be
served in tea cups, and after having
made a purchase of something presum-
ed to be eatables, claimed that O'Neil
short changed him. After time Bak-
ec went out of the place and went to
the Union depot. 1t is said that O'Neil
followed him and spit in Bakers face,
This angered Baker who it is said,
attempted to chastise O'Neil. By
ISLANDERS say that O'Neil pulled long
butcher knife from his sleeve. where
he had it concealed, and threw it at
Baker. The instrument turned in the
air, however, and the handle struck
Baker in the breast making a bruise.
After time the scene changed to the
restaurant 1t is said that Baker at
tempted to enter the place and as he
stepped into the door, O'Neil, it is
said, drew the butcher knife again.
Policeman Copple stepped between
the beligerants and it is said that
O'Neil threw a rock at Baker but the
officer dubbed O'Neil as he drew back
to throw the rock, and the missile
went wild. Bothsmen were placed I'M
der arrest and taken to the station.
O'Neil was released with instructions
to appear this morning and Baker was
kept in Jail over night. Neither have
been tried.
