PHALEN AND BLOCK MIX IT ON JAY STREET
Plumber Objects To Language Man Uses To Women
BIFF! CRACK! BANG! AND SCRAP WAS ON
Richard Block and John Phalen mixed it in a free for all fight on
Jay street this morning when a difference arose over some language
the former used to some women on the premises.
It seems that Block occupies a small cottage near the Schmidtman
wholesale house and was served with notice to vacate. New tenants
arrived this morning to take up their abode in the cottage but
found Block still living there.
A dispute between the people who were about to move in and Block the
latter using, it is said, abusive language which Phalen who was
standing near, objected to.
"If I was that woman's husband, I'd knock your block off," said
Phalen.
"If you were her husband or not, you wouldn't be able to do any such
thing," replied Block.
Biff! Phalen swung on Block's jaw.
Crack! countered Block on Phalen's neck and the scrap was on.
To add spice to the occasion, Block's wife rushed out in time to see
her spouse at the bottom of the heap and crying "Blucher has
arrived" hit the plumber over the head with a shovel.
By-standers separated the belligerents and so the police were on
the scene. The affair may come up in the courts, a call for an officer
having been sent in bringing Officer Christensen on a run.
