ROSELAWN FISTIC ENCOUNTER

Arthur R. Franke of Thayer, who swore out a warrant one day last week for Dr. Eugene Rice, charging the latter with assault and battery with intent to kill, has been arrested on a warrant sworn out by Rice, charging him with drawing a deadly weapon, said to be a large and vicious looking knife. When the Dr. Rice was called last Thursday Franke was unable to be present because of blood poison in a wound on his leg, and the case was continued to the October term of court. Rice gave bond for his appearance and is at liberty. Rice and Franke engaged in a fist fight in Thayer on May 17, and each charges the other ■with being the aggressor.—Morocco Courier.
