Posted on: Lake Co.

Their names were George MAXWELL and Henry NILES,and they were reportedly fighting over a gambling debt. It sounds like it was QUITE a fight... a la Mike Tyson. This was scanned from an original issue of an 1887 newspaper, and you can see it online here: http://theoldentimes.com/ldvlfight87co.html I hope it's of interest!
