It .appears that Hogg had some diffi

when he asked Dugdale for it received
a; right-hand punch in the jaw in return
for the asking. The force.of. the -blow

Dugdale followed up his advantage by
landing another blow on. the "defenseless
Hogg. A crowd gathered quickly in
which Jack Grim was the central fig

further violence. Grim and Dugdale
were together ' immediately ; before the
