IN A drunken FIGHT
Harvest Hands Get Into
Trouble in ColWiCh.
BROKE INTO THE SALOONS
Used Knives on People in the
Streets.

BIr. Joe Zimmerman Of Colwich was in
the city yesterday and reported a big
fight at that town. About eight thresh-
ing hands came into the little city sun
day morning and got some "forty-rod"
whisky and then had a good time.
CoIwich is Wen regulated town and
the saloons are all closed on Sunday. The
men after drinking the stuff wanted some
more and proceeded to break into the
saloons. The citizens tried to stop them
and a grand fight was the result. No one
was hurt very bad at that time and the
crowd seemed to be disposed TO be quiet.
Ia the afternoon the threshers went along
the street and had been given some more
whisky and tried TO paint the town red.
They insulted q lady and threw some iron
and stones at her and then got into a
fight among themselves and then the citi-
zens came in and tried 10 stop the row.
Several persons We're hurt, but the crowd
Of r0wdies stayed about the town and
yesterday morning got into another row
and this time used knives and several
persons were carved up. Their names
could not be learned neither could the
men who did the work. The officers at
Colwich were not strong enough TO do
anything with the men.
