was brought before the bars of justice.
The judge imposed a fine of $50. G. S.

Polk City Toughs.

Polk City Toushs.
Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, Dec. 22-There is a great
deal of interest taken in this county
over the outcome of a free-for- all
scrap and cutting affray which took
place on a Northwestern train one
evening the latter part of the week be-
tween the two Clouser brothers, we'll
known young farmers Of near Gilbert,
and party Of Polk City men.
1t appears the trouble started when
the train was just pulling out of Des
Moines, when the Polk City, crowd,
some of them under the influence OF
LIQUOR, and inclined to be quarrelsome,
tried to GUST the Clouser brothers from
their seats. This they failed to do and
when the train reached Croker the
trouble was again started, and this
time resulted in a badly mixed up fight.
One of the Polk City men swiped one
of the Clousers over the head with
q fire shovel, and within snort time
there were knives, knuckles and other
instruments of warfare working in the
fray.
the combatants were put off and sew
eral Of the Polk City crowd were bad
ly battered up, the Clousers having
held their own with the crowd of five
or six. One of the Gilbert men had
a stab with knife just over the
heart.
The Gilbert men were placed under
arrest and afterwards released under
bonds Of $4,000 each for appearance at
trial on Thursday of this week.
Witnesses to the affray say that the
Polk City crowd were the aggressors
in the matter and that the Clousers
were in no way to blame, having been
entirely on the defensive. They are
men of excellent reputation at Gilbert
and their friends there are greatly agi-
tated over the matter. One of the
Polk City party's name was Fenner,
and another Crabtree.

square yards, practically a mile, OF
brick paving which the city engineer
had found per cent below the speci-

with better brick. An effort was made
to induce the property owners to sign
waivers in consideration of 10 cents

fused to accept anything less than
strict fulfillment of the contract, and
the council then refused to accept the
p;ving.
