Tried to Start Rough House.

There was a little altercation in the Fate restaurant about 4 o'clock Friday afternoon, when Leslie Clark, one Of the editors of the Republican, came in there and took “Big Charlie - ’ Crouch, one of the clerks, to task for an alleged trouble Crouch had had with Clark's sister, with whom Crouch had been keeping company. No serious damage was done to either Clark or Crouch, but the former was put out of the restaurant, and Mr. Fate, who was at his home at the time, was called and the trouble reported to him. He hunted up Clark and had a "heart to heart” talk with him and found that all the latter knew about the alleged trouble had come second-handed. He advised Clark to get a statement from his sister at first hand, and he is said to have done so, only to find that there was little or no foundation for the trouble. Xo arrests were made.
