UGLY SALOON FIGHT
ON FIFTH. AVENUE

The saloon of Victor Van Nestle on
Fifth avenue was the scene of live
ly fight last evening, i'm which Al
Becker, a Moline resident, Julius Van
Newell, of this city, and later Officer
Carlson, were engaged. The first two
named got into a rumpus about II
O'Clock and were smashing the furni-
ture and each other with a free hand
till the officer reached the scene.
After II little sparring the latter
got hold of the two men and separa-
ted them, but when he attempted to
get TO a telephone to call the wagon
he found his hands full The two
combatants about this time became
POSSESSED of desire to get away and
Van Newell made for the front door,
while Becker started for the back
door.
The officer took after the latter and
in the rear of the saloon overlook
him. Becker concluded to make "a
fight for it. and before the officer
finally succeeded in cooling him down
with a rap over the Uranium the two
had desultory scrap in which the
honors were about even.
in the meantime the patrol wagon
had been called by someone else and
it arrived Shortly after Becker had
been subdued. Officer Carlson then
went out after Van Newell and in a
short time located and arrested him.
Both were taken TO the station,
where the accumulated gore was
washed away and DR.. f. II. First
dressed their injuries.
This morning at the hearing all par
ties Implicated had marks to show
for the part they had played. Becker
was the star with head swathed in
cotton, black eye and his counte
nance pounded out of shape. Van
Newell had the forefinger on his left
hand tied up in bandage. it having
come in contact with his antagonists
teeth. Officer Carlson was somewhat
SCARED up, and Van Nestle showed
pair of skinned shinS to prove that he
had Il hand in restoring peace.
From the story told it appeared
that the officer encountered his man
in the dark in the rear of the build
ing and there they had it out. Most
of the damage to Becker's face was
the result of contact with the Off
was the result of the bat from his
club. The latter was long enough to
require six stitches to sew it up.
Becker was still somewhat warm un-
der the collar. and when he was told
that il would cost him So for disturb
ing the peace and SIS for resisting an
officer, he swore he would not pay.
He was committed till the amount
is paid. Van Nevers finger is so sore
that he cannot work, and unless
Becker settles for the time he loses
he will prosecute for, mayhem. Nan
Newell was fined s. for disturbing the
peace.
Yesterday afternoon peddler
named Rodman was set upon by Ray
zimmerman and Tom anderson land
given a bad beating. The affair occur
ring on Twenty-fourth street. The
patrol wagon was summoned by cit
liens of the neighborhood. but before
it arrived the fellows got tip that
the officers were after them and bolt
ed. making their escape.
