Everybody seemed to want to pick
a fight in Casper Saturday night
with everybody else. but one OF the
premier mixups was that between
Jack Worthington, proprietor OF the
Senate pool room and two other men.
Tom Gibson and ]. L. Eckles. The
two other men got the worst of the
deal.
What 1t all started over probably
no M knows. but 1t seems that Gib
son and Eckles were bent on noise
or action or both and caused consid-
cradle annoyance to worthington.
TIE proprietor who was in no mood
to be pestered ordered the men out
CT the place and when they refused
to go he used the most convenient
means to force them out. The most
convenient means was n cue, one
end of which is used for Rocking the
little round worries around the green
felt.
That Worthington used the other
end Ct the cue for knocking what he
considered larger round ivories about
the place is OF no particular import
ance except that It had a disastrous
effect on the crania of Gibson and
Eckles. They both had to BIO attended

All three were arrested on a charge
OF disturbance but were released on
