Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 253, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 October 1913 — "Buck" Mitchell Landed On Sam Babb at Remington. [ARTICLE]

"Buck" Mitchell Landed On Sam Babb at Remington.

The latest by wireless from Remington is to the effect that a scrap took place there Wednesday and that Sam Babb, a telephone lineman, who lives in Monticello, came up at the short end of the encounter. From the report that reached here Babb had imbibed of a brand of squirrel whisky which made hiih very disagreeable. He wanted to fight and kept picking on Mitchell, who is regarded as a peaceable fellow, but Babb became so obnoxious that Mitchell finally “took a poke” at him and Babb hit the pavement. No arrests were made.
