WAS A BAD MIX-UP
William Coleman and "Elkhorn" Billy
Phipps, Both Prominent Citizens Of
Fraser, Engage in Lively Scrap -
Came Near Being Tragedy.

. Z = i s..
Special to Times Republican.
I Boone, May s3-At Fraser, this coun-
ty recently, there came near being a
tragedy of big proportions, but happi-
ly it ended up with only q charge OF
assault and battery.
The stories as nearly as they could
be secured follow. William Coleman, a
respected citizen Of Fraser. was sitting
in a barber shop when entered Elk
horn" Billy Phipps, another prominent
citizen Of that vicinity. Coleman al
leges that Phipps grew abusive and
started for him. Coleman says he saw
that something was going to happen
and landed Phippsp afhooker with his
right which sent AElkhorn Billy over
four chairs and onto the rear portion
Of his neck. This Of course put Elk
horn Billy off temper and he drew
knife about esteem" inches long from
the recesses Of his garments, so Colef
man alleges, and started for him. Cole
man saw that, defenseless as he was,
nothing was left for him to do but
"skidoo." This he did in up-to date
fashion.
Now Coleman is not slow runner
ana neither is Phipps and the chase
about Fraser was as interesting to the
people Of that city as a Fourth OF
July program aud red lemonade to the
backswoodsman. In and out Of stores
thru front doors and out Of back en-
frances the chase continued. ElkhorIl
Billy was close but could not quite
reach However, In an unguarded mos
ment, Coleman tripped on the door
step at the rear Of one Of the stores
and fell. Phipps was at him In a
minute. As if placed there by proyt-
dence shovel was standing within
reach Of Coleman and he grasped this
implement lovingly about the handle
and with mighty effort attempted to
take a good sized ecoopful of flesh out
Of Phipp's neck. BY the time Phipps
had recovered from this a posse of
business men and friends of the con-
tracing parties was at hand and
separated" the contestants, calling the
match a draw. Phipps was relieved OF
the knife and Coleman of the farm i'm
plement and when the men faced each
other they decided that the old time
trouble should be forgotten and they
shook hands and made up.
However, the dignity of the law
must be upheld and instead Of allow
Ing the men to go scott free or Of bind
ing them over to the grand jury on the
charge of assault with intent to com
init murder Phipps was allowed to
plead guilty to assault and was given
a nominal fee. The affair was thus
happily ended, and no lives lost.

price to pay. but that is what they
are asking in Calhoun county now,
and what is more they are collecting

truth OF this fish story. They were

department, dropped down from the

to $375o each, while their catch was
only a few bull heads.
It Is not generally understood that
catching bull-headstin any manner iss q
violation OF the fish law, and the UNI
lucky fisherman may have been inrio-

the mandates of the state. However,
section 254 Of the code says: - :

from the waters Of the state any fish,
except minnows for bait, unless by

Commercial Club Enthusiasm.

A meeting of the Mineral Point Com
mercial Club, held Monday evening, was
largely attended by our leading citizens.
There was a unit of enthusiasm and de-
termination to accomplish something
that would be Of lasting benefit to the
city. Nh. Winton, division passenger
agent for the C. M. G. st. p. R'y, who
CHANGED to be in our midst that day,
attended the meeting on invitation. In
consequence the leading question for
discussion was better and more agree
able passenger service, and there's
little doubt but what the railroad rep
resentative saw the logical side Of our
reasonable desire for up-to-date service.
/ AS a conclusion on this subject set Of
strong resolutions was drawn appealing
/ for parlor car service on the two in and
out daily trains, also that the time for
arrival of passenger trains in Mineral
Point be set back to the former sched-
ule, for the evening train by all means.
The former time was $50 The Tribune
and many others think that 8 O'Clock
would be still better This can be done
by some slight changes at the starting
points. Included in the resolutians was
an expressed desire for an in and out
passenger train on Sundays. That, too
would put US the map" proper.
