CIDER CAUSES QUARREL Indiana Man Dying and Several Hurt in Free-for-all Fight at Church Festival Scottsburg, Indiana, July 18-The introduction of hard cider at a church festival held at Greenbrier Church, near here, Saturday night caused a riot. As a result, Grover Gardner is lying at his home in a dangerous condition, he having been stabbed a dozen times by several other men who participated in the free-for-all fight. Gardner and a boy names James started the trouble, and several other young men rushed in to stop the fight. Instead of stopping it, they took sides in the battle and several youngsters are wearing bandages as the result.
