It was not a very serious affair and received brief mention in the Remington Press, from which paper The Republican copied the article. Remington is 12 miles south of Rendselaer and about 65 miles from Hammond. A Hammond correspondent to a Chicago newspaper sent in the following article: “A fight between Abe Wahl and Jacob Ochs, Sr., business men of Remington, south of Hammond, ended in James Callagan, the referee, calling it a draw. Six rounds were fought near the Zimmerman building. In the second round Wahl seized Ochs and hurled him through a plate glass window and fell in after him. Both men were badly cut, but continued to fight. Their clothes were saturated with blood Callagan ended the figjit. Ochs, who is a Republican, called Wahl, who is a Democrt, a liar.
