Three men became rather too hi
larious Christmas night and started
to have some fun with a fellow
man at a saloon on North Front
street. 1t resulted in fight, which
finally lead into the street. A crowd
gathered and for a time it was inn
possible for the street cars to pass.
From fifty to hundred people con-
gregated in front of the saloon which
is across from the Hubbard mill, un-
til two policemen separated the
crowd. No arrests were made, and
it could not be learned who the
participants were.
