Street FIGHTERS ARE
PASSED BY policeman

Inactivity of the local police in
making an arrest during a street
fight at Eighth and Market streets
on Saturday evening has caused
complaint to be made by those who
witnessed the trouble. From what
could be learned today, it appears
that two white men had an encounter
on the corner during which one man
was felled, At this juncture a patrol
man on duty walked into the crowd
and asked what was the matter The
man who felled his opponent told the
officer he had knocked the other man
down. The officer instead of arrest
ing the men for fighting on the street
walked away.
