The trouble seems to have arisen over an argument over a hog that had been foraging in a field belong-; ing to James Kelly and which the owner of the field proceeded to take up with the owner of the hogh ' Adolph Fleisehmann. j It is alleged that when Kelly found the hogh in his field he noti-! fied Flieschmann over the telephone1 of the fact that the porker was root-j ing around in the field and it is : claimed in press dispatches that Fleichmann used abusive language ' over the telephone to members of the Kelly household. When Fliesch- 1 mann arrived at the Kelly home to look after the hog more words were paseds between the two men and the war was on. It is claimed that Kelly made use of the butt-end of the gun that he held in his hand, then changed to a monkey wrench that played a live-! ly tatto on the person of Fliesch-. mann who was getting into action , a la Dempsey with his fists as the , weapon of defense or offense as the. case might be. and the fists failed ' to serve as an effective weapon ' against the enemy offensive. j Fleisehmann wts taken to the of-1 fice of a Elmwood physician suffer-! ing from three big gashes in his NO W! that it's all over scalp.
