[Brawl in Flesherton]

Hannah's Hotel Flesherton Station was the scene of an ugly quarrel on Wednesday last between Alex. Hannah proprietor and Jas. Carson of Eugenia. It is said both men were drunk and in the struggle cut each other about the head and face in a shameful manner. Carson received severe punishment in the face. There are many reports current about this quarrel, so far as we can gather we understand Carson went to Hannah's Hotel on Tuesday evening, had tea then and remained all night, during which time both he and Hannah got under the influence of liquor. After breakfast Wednesday morning Carson left the Hotel but during the forenoon returned again when both men became quarrelsome and Hannah received some cuts in the face. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon they got into a quarrel again when Hannah (it is said with a screw driver) bruising Carsons face in a shocking manner. Carson was afterwards driven to Flesherton when Dr. Christoe dressed his wounds, and he was removed to his home in Eugenia. A warrant was issued for Hannah's arrest and constable Pearce arrived from owen Sound the next morning, Hannah was then not to be found but on Sunday morning went to Owen Sound and delivered himself to the proper authorities; he was allowed to return to his home by the first train.
