Ayr, engaged in a fistic encounter yesterday morning in Kiplinger’s pool room. The facts in the case, as far as The Democrat can learn, are as follows: It seems that Wicker and Thomas had been exchanging work during shredding of corn, and met in the pool room yesterday morning, and started to arrange a settlement of the work done. It seems, so we are informed, that there was a dolar difference between them, each claiming that the other owed this amount. Thomas Jaecame quite excited and Wicker tried to avert the trouble, it is said, but Thomas finally called him a vile name, whereupon Wicker peeled his coat and proceeded to administer a fierce trimming to Thomas in' a few moments time before anyone interfered with them. No action had been taken in the matter up to the time of going to press.
