CO- LOSES PIECE OF EAR IN A FIGHT The four corner of the earth are represented In a case now in the hands of the district attorney, the re. suit of a section crew altercation last night at Huron in which one of the combatants had a piece .bitten out of one ear, his cheek and neck lacer ated and several other parts of his an atomy chewed. Representing the far north Is Fred Johnson, an Alaskan Indian and the victim of the offending teeth. Tho far east has as lt delegate Max, a Filipino, whose sharp molars Inflict ed the wounds on thr Alaskan. John Arando, a native of Chill and James J Tedelox, a Spaniard ty blood and birth are the representatives of the far south and tho far west and in the present case occupy thil position of chief witnesses According to the story told by the latter two, the four men from the four corners of the earth have com prised the Huron section crew for a short time. lA.it night they nay, Max and Johnson became Involved in a dispute which waa abruptly ended by the former dashing a, cup of hot coffee In the face of the latter. As might be expected the Alaskan re sented this treatment and a fight was the result. The Filipino's methods of warfare showed that he is not far re moved from those ancestors who liked to diet on human 'flesh for he promptly seized one of the redskin's ears r-ewcen his teeth and hit a some what lagged edged crescent in it. He then attacked his adversary's cheek and neck with hi sharp Incisors and finally, as a grand finale, bit through three thicknesses of doth and sunk his teeth into the northerner's arm. The cannabalistl. taUs nf the south sea islander were too much for the Indian and hp was gtnd to admit de feat. When the battle w;w over, the gen. tloman from Chill mercifully located the piece of car whleh haa been bit ten out and aided by needle, thread and court plaster, fixed It bask In place. The Spaniard, Afnsknn and Chilean then enmo to the city and swore out a warrant for the arrest of their earnlvernus fellow section hand.
