MEN STAGE FIGHT ON MAIN STREET
 --- Battle Of Fists Furnishes Excite.
 ment for Short Time ACES TRIM MILLDALE OUTFIT

Christian Church-AIany Voters Arc
 Made Saturday Afternoon And Rec.
 ord List Is Nearly Made-ltcms.
 Jasper Williams and Joseph Win. inger, both of Broad street, furnish. cd a little excitement in town Sat. urday afternoon when they staged q battle with fists in front of the Econ omy Grocery store on Whiting street Wininger, 1t Is claimed, attacked Williams for an alleged slander.
 Williams is alleged to have made remarks which Wininger did moi like. Williams is alleged to have made the remarks several days age but Wininger awaited an opportunity to meet the man and this chance came Saturday. Wininger was or the other side of the street from the grocery store and seeing Williams ir the company of Mrs. Florence Mayes a niece, crossed over the street. Will Hams saw him coming and did not budge an inch Winninger said some thing to him in the form of a chal-
 enge which Williams is quoted as re- plying: Come on I'm not afraid of i you"
 This acceptance of the challenge caused Wininger to land his fist on the face of Williams and the latters glass fell to the ground breaking in small pieces The battle then waxed fast and furious, the woman making her way into the Economy Grocery store and shouting to the manager there to stop the fracas.
 The manager dashed forth and mix ed up in the fight, succeeding, with the aid of another peace maker, Tn separating the two men. This tended to cool the fighting ardor of both men and the battle passed over, temporar- ily. Williams then wended ms way towards the home of Prosecutor Will liam J. Foran for the purpose of messing a charge against Wininger for assault, but decided to drop the case. Williams did not like the idea, however, and made his way over to Grand Juror Stanley s Gwillim, where he is understood to have met with the same result
 Tomorrow night, however, Williams will have an opportunity to speak to the court but not on the plan he had in mind Williams has been arrested by his housekeeper's husband. C. Hayes, of New York, on charge Of a rather dubious nature. This case will be an interesting one inasmuch as the town has secured Attorney Will jam J. Malone of Bristol for it's side and Williams. Judge Bernard F. Gaffney, for his counsel.
 The details of the case are such that t pears Williams has had for his lo Keeper for many years. Mrs Florence Mayes, his niece and wife of the man who is bringing the charge. Mrs. Mayes has not been living with her husband for long time and lately he has been coming up to Plainville gathering evidence to press his case.
 Aces Are Victors
 The local Aces got the best of their old time rivals the Mildale team, in that town yesterday afternoon when they defeated them by the score of to 1. The battle was pitchers duel, and Eddie Goeb, who appeared on the mound for Plainvile with Wadsworth behind the bat, played an excellent game The Milldale men had Lord and Megarie for their battery. Throughout the contest, there were but six hits made and of these, the Aces made four off Lord, Goeb allow ing the other two for the Milldale players Goeb retired six men by the strikeout route and Lord only four.
 The fielding of LaFleur and Rab- cock for Milldale and Holcomb and Elliott for the Aces, was a feature of run in the first inning when they crossed the plate twice. Milldae scored in the third and the rest of the game was air-tight ball.
 The next game Sunday afternoon, will be played at Rockwell's field when the Readvilie A. C., of Water bury will be their opponents. Miss Mabel Travers, woman pitcher of fame, will be on the mound for the visitors and this game is promised to be the best one of the season The Aces are preparing to break her rec ord of having never been driven from the pitching box. As Aliens field is being staked out for building lots by the new owners of Bristol, the Aces were forced to play their last game of the season at Rockwel's field
