Make Faces at Each Other, But No

Oberlin. Apr19 -Brotherly love doesn't
appear to exist among the newspaper
fellows of Oberlin as it ought to- They
not only scrap and call one another
harsh names in the columns of their
respective journals, but they scrap
with their mouths and fists, and make
faces at one another.
The latest tilt of this kind was be-
tween the editors of the Eye and Times,
the two Republican oreans of the town.
The encounter grew out of local politics.
The combatants met on the street. ard
after an interchange of opinions pro and
con, The Times man proceeded to do his
contemporary up, and pelted the Eye
man a lick on his cheek with his open
hand This so enraged him that he re-
treated a few steps away, and facing his
tall antagonist commenced making faces
at him. At this stage of the encounter
the second act in the drama occurred.
Jim Hughes, chairman of the Decatur
county Republican committee, a power
full man in strength and weighing over
200 pounds, and who didn't propose to
see the Times editor take advantage of
the Eye man who was several feet short
er in height than the tall man of the
Times, interceded for the under man in
the affair. "A war Of words followed be-
tween the committeeman and the Times
editor, and bad epithets We're hurled at
one another in such rapid succession
that the atmosphere in the vicinity Of
the belligerents became smoky, and while
in this condition, and without coming to
blows, the crowd dispersed without any
one being killed.
