 There was a fight between sailor and several civilians at the corner. of Main and Railroad streets, at mid night Saturday, after the dance. An eyewitness states that the trouble started when one of the civilians of a party threw a cigar butt at the sailor, which hit him in the eye. The sailor was not aggressive but asked the young man to take better aim for the street next time. When the man re- sponded in an angry tone the sailor told him If he wanteds to fight to join the navy, as he had done. This seemed to strike home to the civilian. f1E he started to try to do up the sailor with the assistance of his comrades.
 The arrival of the police stopped the affair, though several of the wit nesses received a few of the blows which were delivered. This is the first fight between the sailors and civilian in this city. The civilian. wasn't a Will , limantic man. Large numbers of sail- ors come to this city every week end and seldom cause any trouble.
