latter was apparently calling the men
ahead "A Dirty Irishman," and he In turn
was calling the other "A Bloody English
man." A woman, who knew the Irish
man and saw that there was trouble
brewing, ran 10 the front door OF her
home TO call the Irishman I'm TO avoid
trouble. but when she reached the side

sidewalk and was bleeding profusely from
cut above his head The old man was
picked up and taken into Gilbert r. Par

home on Eastwood avenue in carriage

many who claim that they saw the Eng

struck Both OF these men worked In a
mill here together more than 20 years
ago and at that time they did not love"
each other any more than they do today.
