FREE FOR-ALL FIGHT ENSUES.
When the party returned to Buffalo
one of "Scotty's' friends got mixed
with the Aaron crowd and while sing
| ing "Scotty's" praises he was set upon
| by the gang and was given terri
| bic beating. This led to several 'off the
| reel fights between the respective
| partisans OF the fighters. The best of
| these was between Jimmy the "Oyster
| Opener" and the big Canal street bully
| nicknamed THE Bludgeon." The fight
| took place in the rear room of saloon,
| and eye witnesses say II was the most
brutal affair OF its kind that ever took
place In the city of Buffalo. THE Blud-
| geon" was fully thirty pounds the heav-
| Ter and had at least four inches the
better of it In height. but as it re-
| solved itself into ough-and-tumble
fight with all the fighting taking place
on the floor his height was not of much
benefit TO him. They started off In a
fair standup fight manner until THE
| Bludgeon" learned that he was handi-
| capped at that style of milling. and
as the crowd was with him he began
rough-and-tumble tactics. His first
move was to get the "Oyster Opener"
into his grasp, the next to throw him
to the floor, and then to chew his head
off. The 20. o." however. was onto
| his game, and awaiting an opportu-
| nifty, he ducked between 1.-THE Blud-
geon's" legs and tossed him over his
| head. Then, before he could arise, he
threw himself on his PROSTATE form
| and according to the select crowd, the
| fight was on. First one then the other
| would be on top, biting, gouging, and
roughing 1t below the belt line.
BLUDGEoN's NOSE WAS sPAT
OUT
A piece of 1.-THE Bludgeon's" nose was
spat out by the Oyster Opener" as n
| testimony that he understood his busi-
ness A few minutes later, when THE
! Bludgeon" was on top he took off a
piece OF the 20. O.'s." and then to APP
pease his appetite made for his oppo-
nent's nose and succeeded In getting a
piece of 1t. While engaged in this the
"Oyster Opener secured a thumb hold
In 1.-THE Bludgeon's right eye and did
not loosen It until he had yanked the
eye out of It's socket. 1t was any mans
| fight at this time and neither
