BOTH MEN FINED AS RESULT OF
FIGHT IN BON TON CAFE
FEBRUARY 2.

The city court held an unusually
long session this morning. The case
against T. NJ Smith, charged with as
sault and battery on o. w. Estes, and
the case against o. w. Estes charged
with carrying concealed weapons and
assault and battery on T. M. Smith,
and profanity, were tried and disposed
of. A fine of $25 and cost was entered
against Smith and fines of IS and cost
in each of the two cases against Estes,
the case charging him with carrying
concealed weapons being dismissed.

the trouble that occurred the Satur.
day night previous to that date at the
Bon Ton cafe when Estes received
a bad knife wound in his left thigh
from the effects of which he has since
been quite lame. Estes claims that
Smith cut him. Smith as stoutly de
clares he did not.

Smith case Mr.. Estes stated to tht
court that he had no desire to see Mr.
Smith suffer any penalty.

City of Hattiesburg, from attempting
