SCRAP IN THE ALLEY
HAS FINISH IN COURT
Ten Bucks Per SCrapperiS
the Price.

Americus in black and tan filled
the police courtroom yesterday when
Mayor Protein Zach Childers sat in
judgment to referee the mill of
the day before wherein Mary Schell
and Marguerite Barber butted each
other bloody near the livery stable.
Despite her apparently French cog
nomen Mademoiselle Marguerite is
just a plain little yellow negro and
a product OF Sumter, but her charms
CD ensnared the husband of the
lorn Mary Schell, and they wan
dered together. Upon the return of
the pair from an airy flight, Madam
de Schell was in waiting in a back
street with warpaint on and decks
cleared for action. The fight was
to finish, Schell game in which
Marguerite resembled worn foot
mat when the second round ended
with Mary on top, twining her fingers
in the Marcel waves of the Barber,
who needed a barber to straighten
her out. The fight has since been
the talk of colored Americus, and
was given in detail in court yester-
day when His Honor touched each
scrapper ten dollars for the June
event.
