Minot Reporter: The Parrish family
seems to be having a great deal Of
trouble lately, as Jim Parrish, husband
of Fighting Alice" has come forth
with a warrant for the arrest of Mrs.
Rowe, a lady living on Roach's ranch
near the stockyards, alleging hat Mrs.
Rowe assaulted him with a carving
knife or a butcher knife with intent to
do great bodily harm. Tim says that
Mrs. Rowe brandishHd the knife and
threatened to cut his heart out or
something and Mrs. Rowe states that
she didn't. 1t appears that the con-
troversy was caused by. some mean
things that Jim said about Mrs. Rowe,
according to the defendant. For some
reason "Fighting Alice" is not mixed
up in this affair and Jim is fighting his
own battles.
