Breaks His Arm.

y fight at 7:l0this morning on Com
mercial and First South streets re-
suited disasterously for a messenger
boy named George Billings, aged %. He
engaged in a fistic mixup with a miner

Mccormick began calling Billings vile
names. The latter suddenly swung on
McCornick's jaw with terrific force,
putting the miner down and out and
giving hima lump on the jaw as large
rs an ostrich egg. Both We're placed
under arrest by Patrolmen Clough and
Barker. At police headquarters 1t
was discovered that Billings had a
broken arm DIR. Stewart was called
and reduced the fracture.
