Special to Times-Republican.
Geneva, Aug. 10.-The friction which
has existed between Mayor Tidd and
T. +. Jones, over Mr.. Jones alleged
neglect in not keeping the weeds be-
tween the sidewalk and his fence cut
down to the requirements of the city
ordinance, eliminated in blows when
they met in H. r. Reeves pool hall,
yesterday.
Mr.. Jones is man of some 65 years
of age, and in the heated conversation
following their meeting, Mayor Tidd
accused Mr. Jones Of willfully violat1
ing the city ordinance. To which Mr..
Jones retaliated in language which led
to an immediate clinch, in which Mr.
Reeves was compelled to separate
them, but not before they had in
flicted considerable punishment on
each other.
The only serious injury suffered by
either of the men, outside of a few
bruises, was badly swollen hand, in
flictcd by a cue on Mr.. Jones. After
the affair mutual friends brought the
men together, and a complete recon-
ciliation followed. No arrests have
been made up to date.
