HAD DICE AND
GOOD MONEY
An Interstate Fight Ends With Pair
Bleeding in the City jail
Early This Morn
inq.

When Montrose Beckley and his
lady friend, Alice Wicks, alias May
Owens, were locked UP at / o'clock
this morning, the head of the lady
was badly bruised and the face OF
Beckley was cut in several places and
bled profusely,
Officer LeFever said they were fight
ing at the union station, but the pair
volubly maintained the fight occurred
in illinois outside the jurisdiction OF
the Keokuk authorities. The evidence
il that both are right and the Tight
started In Illinois and continued into
Iowa, being literally an Interstate
fight with pretty extensive combat
sector.
The couple have been arrested here
before and the last time We're told
to stay out of town.
Beckley seems to have prospered
during his absence in Illinois, for in
bis pockets were found S3S and lot
OF dice, besides two knives.
When he app cared in the superior
court this morning, Beckley had a
strip of surgeons plaster across his
forehead, but his lady friend was I'm
hurt and debonair. She said she was
willing to plead to disturbing the
peace, but not to drunkenness, as she
never drinks. 1t developed that the
pair went with another colored man,
a taxi driver. to Warsaw for little
ride before the trouble at the union
station.
Finally both pleaded guilty to dis
turbing the peace, for which each
was fined $40, and to being drunk,
for which each paid So. With the
costs, this left Beckley a few dollars,
for he CALAMITY paid the fine of the
woman.
