DOCTORS HAVE FIGHT.

Lovilia. March II. - DR.. III. w. Nye
and G. w. Cothern of Lovilia had
fist fight in the office formerly occu.
pied by DR.. Nye. For a time there
was a regular milling. When things
were at their warmest pitch the spec
tors on the outside of the building
were surprised to see we'll directed
blow from DR.. Nye strike his adver.
sary square in the face and Dr. Goth.
ern came humping through the win,
dow. AS DR.. Cothern came through
the window the glass cut his body and
1t was necessary to call DIR. Morris.
sey to dress his wounds.
Later DR.. Nye was arrested and
taken before Mayor Conwell, where
he was fined SIS and costs, making a
total fine in the neighborhood of $40.
The Lovilia doctors have been hav-
ing q warm time in the past few
weeks. DR.. Nye sold his practice to
Dr. Cothern and in the deal was con-
tract between DR.. Nye and DR.. Stat
ford that the latter would not engage
in the practice of medicine In that
neighborhood. Dr. Stafford, however
did open an office as soon as the deal
had been made. This led to the matter
getting into the courts, but settle
mont was reached when DIR. Stafford
purchased the interests, good will, etc.
of DR.. Cothern. The last move In the
affair has caused a sensation in Lo-
