    • Cutting Affray
      George Colvin and Dan Welsh, Jr., engaged in a rough-and-tumble fight Saturday night, in front of R. R. Waddell's jewelry store, which resulted in Welsh getting cut with a knife. It seems that Welsh sent Colvin to grass and then jumped on him and commenced pounding him, when Colvin got out his pen-knife and indulged in a little carving. Welsh received six painful cuts, four in the back, one in the stomach and one on the hand, but none of them are serious. Colvin was arrested Monday morning by Marshal Willletts, but Welsh refused to prosecute him and he was fined $5.75 for being drunk and disorderly and fighting. Welsh was not able to move Monday morning. Too much whisky was the cause of the affray.
