Cured yesterday Il fight, which but for
the timely arrival of tho police. might
have resulted in a free-for-all scrim-
mage. and have been the cause of
serious injury TO several of the play
crs and spectators. II did result in
the arrest of the two chief partici-
pants in the fight. Andrew Toney, white,
II barber, aged twcnty-seven, and
Waverly r. Butler. white. Il carpenter.
aged twenty-five.
According to several witnesses to
the fight. Butler seemed to have been
the instiIator and to have had the bet
ter of the argument. Butler himself
seemed to think that he was the better
man, for he continued to say so all
the way to the station. where he and
Toney were taken by Captain Wright
and officer Duggins, who had hurried
to the scene of the disturbance.
When arraigned at the station. both
presented battered appearance. Toncy
was very much the worse for wear,
with one eye closed. the back of his
head cut and his forehead raw where
Butler was in better condition. but
also bore marks OF the encounter, cs-
pecially around the nose. Both of the
lighters were locked up. while friends
were trying to get bail. which up TO II !
late hour last night had not been OBJ
tanned.

place tomorrow morning at . o'clock. !
promises to be unusually interesting. |
