Hickory Grove - A DISGRACEFUL AFFAIR: Wednesday evening of last week a prize fight took place in a barn on a farm near Hickory Grove and a short distance on the Pennsylvania side of the State line, the sluggers being Louis Jester and Mike Dwyer, both of Binghamton. The affair, which was witnessed by a number of sports from Binghamton. Susquehanna, Deposit and other nearby places, broke during the third round in a regular row. It was evident that Jester was getting the better of his opponent and that Dwyer's friends started the fracas to prevent a fight to the finish. A free-for-all fight resulted during which some one commenced firing revolver shots through the roof, to the great consternation and imminent peril of spectators sitting on the beams overhead. A grand rush for the egress followed and ended the contest. The referee, a Dwyer supporter, awarded the fight to Dwyer on a foul, though all fair minded witnesses agree that Dwyer was the only one guilty of the foul.
