FOUR COLORED
BATTLERS WERE
In Big MIX-UP

Fists, knives, guns, three colored
men and a colored figured
in a big scrap which took place in
Fred Daniels home on Front street
near the freight depot on Wednesday
of last week. The second and final
round was staged at the city hall
before Police Justice E. ]. Wells last
Thursday afternoon - Robert and
Billy" Williams, and Fred Daniels
were fined $25 and 50 costs and
Mrs. Fred Daniels was fined SIS and
SO costs. All paid their fines but
Billy Williams and he spent several
days in Jail until his friends came
to his assistance and paid his fine.
In last weeks Republican appear
ed an article which stated that Fred
Daniels and Mamie Mason had Sc
cured a marriage license the latter
part of the previous week. The mar
riage of the couple followed shortly
after taking out the license and this
marriage seems to have been the
cause of the big battle.
AS 1t came out in the trial, Mamie
Mason, who it is believed has been
going under the name of Mamie
Williams, had been living with Robt.
Williams for some time as man and
wife. 1t is believed by some persons
that the lure of a car and wages over
a 800 a month were a great tempta-
ton to a person who was living with
a a who had no car and who was
not getting anywhere neal the 800
per. Upon the suggestion of a city
officer, a marriage license was Sc
cured the latter part of the week
ending November Sth.
Ac ~ rorrn out ~ tho trin1 oil fpur
persons who were arraigned before
police justice Wells, had been drink
ing on the morning of November -.
1t seems as though the two Williams
brothers resented the marriage of
Fred and Mamie for it was not long
after these two brothers entered Dan
iels' house that things began to hap
pen. At the trial Thursday afternoon
Robt. Williams, in trying to clear his
brother, told a story to the effect that
his brother was not in the fight at
all but stood there watching him do
all the dirty work-Robt. Williams
stated that he knocked Daniels down,
took a large knife away from Mrs.
Daniels, took a CUR away from
Daniels and knocked him down again
all OF this happened at the same
time, %whereupon, the police justice
remarked that Robt. Williams was a
fast man and the cost OF the great
battle would be $25 and 50 costs to
each of the three men and Mamie
Daniels would nave to pay out SIS
and So costs.
The local police have had consider
able trouble with fights in this
neighborhood in the past and unless
things are changed somewhat in the
very near future more stringent
means will be taken to change them.
A word to the wise is sufficient.

Vet Group Influence
Now World Wide

With Thomas w. Miller, former
ailen property custodian as president;
Brlgadier-General Roy Hoffman of
oklahoma as vice-president and Mrs.
Lowell Hobart, past national presi-
dent Of The American Legion Auxil-
larry, the lnter-allied Veterans Asso-
citation, composed OF 10, 1000, 900 al
lied veterans and 5000. 600 women,
bids fair this year to establish a re-
cord in international affairs.
Led as it is by outstanding Amer
lean ex-service men, it's fforts to-
wards permanent world peace, which
is Its main policy, will be greatly ad-
vanced. Already steps in this direct
ton were taken at the fifth annual
congress of the association, recently
held in London. The league of ma
lions invited, and the veterans asso-
citation acceptd the creation of an ex-
service mems section in the league.
This means hat while the veterans
cannot vote in the leagues councils,
they nevertheless will be represented
in the leagues deliberations. In June
when the international disarmament
conference convenes at Geneva, the
veterans will be represented by their
spokesman and will be heard on all
matters affecting international am
tiles.
Nine countries allied during the
war are represented in the Inter
allied Vetrans' association, namely,
France, Belgium, England, the United
States, Poland, Italy, Czecho-Slovakia
Roumania. There is a membership
of 10000, 900 veterans and President
