YOUTHFUL FIGHTERS FINEr
Members of Alleged Gangs Tell Court
of Combat,

of Combat.
Six boys. said to have been engaged
In gang" fight Monday night near
the soldiers home, were given a hear
ing Wednesday afternoon in munich
pal court on charge Of fighting. To
the older court spectators it was like
the days Of real sport to hear the
kids relate their story of the en-
counter. They boys did their best and
for the most part the stories were d.
rect. truthful and to the point, and
their elders chuckled inwardly as
they recalled similar escapades when
there were Center street, Third street,
Sixth street, West Main street, Ar
| mold school, east end and midnight
push" gangs, not to forget the cele-
brated patch" gang. The affair was
reminiscent Of famous boy fights of
years ago altho Of much less magni-
tude, at least in the mind of some
| famous former battlers who heard
the evidence.
The real cause Of enmity was not
clearly defihed-it never is in such
cases. but what could be gathered
from the statements Of the lighters
there appeared to be feeling that
the fighting qualities OF certain youth
full Spartans of the South Fourth
street neighborhood and certain bel
licose lads Of the west end should
be tested. An alleged invasion Of the
Fourth street territory Sunday night,
with a def for battle, failed to result
in a, satisfying melee, and on Mon
| day night one of the Fourth Street
ers" whose heroism seems to have
been Questioned, accompanied by a
picked gang OF his faithful followers.

that he got fair play and that there
was no one sided battle. !. turned

The combatants met In North Thir-
teenth street and "a fight started in
the street. later being carried to the
entrance to the drug store. There was
loud talking on the part Of some Of
| the boys. who were not actively en-
gagged in the SCRAP
Six OF the boys got into court. They
were Sam Ferguson. Ross t"Baldy')
Campbell, Charles {"Chuck") Carter,
Eddie Baird. Merrill Chadwick and
Earl Mackey. They represented both
factions. Three OF the lads were too
young for the jurisdiction OF the
municipal court, but the other three,
Fargnson, Campbell and Chadwick.
were fined SO and costs each. The
fines were suspended during good be-
haviour, on payment of the costs.

Sanctioned BY Voters at juno Pri-
mary, County to Pay $500 for APP
proximately Eight Acres - Options
Would Have Expired Today-Fair
Racing Program Changed.

The Marshall County Fair Associa-
ton acquired approximately eight
acres Of land Wednesday. for the
purpose Of enlarging the fair grounds,
when options on land owned by the
Bradbury and J. D. Vail estates were
exercised. The options would have
expired today. The electors OF the
county at the primary June Z author
lied the board Of supervisors to pur-
chase the land.
Deeds in blank were given We'd
nesday to the fair association, the
money to be paid from county funds
by the county board. On payment OF
the purchase price, $500, title to the
land will be taken In the name Of the
fair association.
Settles Question Of Fair Site.
Exercise Of the options to purchase
settles for some years to come, al
least, the question Of removal Of the
fair grounds or expansion Of the
present site. For several years the
need Of more ground has been ap-
parent to fair directors and public
alike and two plans for relief were
offered.
One was to purchase land adjac-
ent to the present grounds for pur-
poses of expansion and the other was
to buy a new site. The latter course
was believed illogical for severa
reasons, first because of the neces.
sity OF building an entirely new
plant; second. because Of inability
to acquire q desirable site with suit
able trackage facilities, and third. the
| necessity Of going far from the bus
mess center Of the city for new
| grounds and abandoning a park a
walking distance.
Substitute for Stake Races.
It has been necessary for tho coun-
ty fair board to substitute two spec.
ial races for the racing caro- ....,
year in lieu of the two stake race:
which failed to fill. The stake race!
scheduled were the 1T class trot ant
the :15 class pace. Fort Dodge, Cedar
Falls and Marshalltown had arranged
stake races in these classes but To-
various reasons, principally because
of the early close, did not appeal *
the horsemen.
/ Instead OF stake races the loca
card will include the 2:17 trot ant
the 2:15 pace, with purses Of $500
each. The entries will close at tn
time Of closing for ali fair races
Sept. 9. The two events with $500
purses and the late closing, are ex.
pected to be attractive and probably
will result in large and fast fields.
