Sotcher and Pocket Knives Freely Used
at a Ball Sunday Night.
: The fellow who is spilin' for a
- ' fight and who enjoys high trage
dy of the genuine trade mark
-ought to always be on hand
-when a ball takes place at Wit
liff's platform, out on the Gay
Sill road. Out there a "rough
iouse" goes .hand in hand with a
continuous performance, and the
fellow who enjoys the brain spat
tering, throat-slitting art of war
as right in his element. If Gov
ernor Procrastination of Colora--do
really expects to "wade in
blood up to the bridle bits" he
-ought by all means to attend one
of these balls, brawls or broils.
The devotees of Terpsichore
iaven't been able to pull off a
mazy whirl out there in several
months without a row. The
dance Sunday night deviated not
from the general rule, except that
he melee was on a larger scale
2nd the resultant damages of
greater magnitude than on any
previous occasion.
The row began as a triangular
spectacular and ended in a quad
rennial tragedy. Fritz Boeker,
-Julius Stolz and the Ponkening
.brothers took the leading parts,
with Messrs. Theo. and Fritz
Boediker as the supporting cast. ;
Boeker was cut and stabbed m
several places; Stoltz lost con-
iriderable blood and thePonkening
Brothers are both laid up for re
pairs, one of them with his jaw
bone laid bare.
Be it said in this connection
hafc the manager of the platform
"tried in every way to prevent
he row, and has several times
requested the officers to be in at
tendance and prevent trouble
