Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 233, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 September 1913 — Rumors of Threatened Battle in Maple Grove. [ARTICLE]

Rumors of Threatened Battle in Maple Grove.

Rumors were current on the street today of further trouble in the Harkrider-Hamilton affair. Orson Lewis, a brother of Mrs. Harkrider, is reported to have found Hamilton at the Harkrider home, and to have forcibly ejected him. It was also reported that challenges flaunted back and forth had provided for a meeting at the maple grove for a finish fight Monday night. Evidently the tale bearers have been busy, for The Republican could learn but little about the alleged trouble.- That the men had words is undisputed, but no further trouble occurred, so me have been informed. Lewis stood by his sister in her late trouble and doubtless feels that she should remove the “appearance of evil” by cutting acquaintance. Hamilton is moving to Plymouth and it is understood that Harkriders also contemplate moving away.
