A fiarce and bloody fight occured yesterday at 3:30 between Isaac Smith and George Volkhardt, better known as Dutch Ueorge. smith has the old building lust east of the opera house rented fur a home, and Dutch George I has one room m it leased. Yesterday afternoon a quarrel arose over a lock and the men clashed, Smith with a hatchet 'and Volkhardt with a long chisel. The men slashed and hacked each other in and out of the building, when Chief Engineer Hockspier, hear ing of the trouble rushed around and took charge of the men, taking them to the recorder's office; but they needed doctor more. Volkhardt had a fierce cut in the head, slightly crushed, and Smith's neck was bleeding like a stuck hog. Volkhardt was taken to the hospital, and Smith went down home. Volkhardt is getting along all right, not badly hurt, and will be out in a day or two. Smith was up street to day, well bandaged. Each lays the blame to the other. Probably some booze at the bottom of it. Both men are over seventy. Smith gathers old bottles and sells them, and Dutch George does odd jobs. A "Hearty" Party.
