ELECTION FIGHT.
One Man Knocked Senseless—Pistol Drawn.
An election fracas occurred last evening at Fest's garden. Some enthusiastic supporters of one of the candidates or the beer he had so liberally regaled them with, wanted to know if there was anyone in the crowd who would not vote for his man. A party consisting of Thomas Dunbar, Hy Inzlemann and one or two others, took up the other side of the question, and after some slight altercation Dunbar knocked the enthusiastic supporter down. Henry Inzlemann threw another man and went down on top of his opponent. Some one unknown having struck him on the back of the head, stunning him. The special officer on duty drew his pistol on Dunbar and prevented any further consequences. For some inexplicable reason no arrest was made.
