    3. The La Cygne Weekly Journal Linn County Saturday February 10, 1883 Between 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon, election day, a number of men from the country indulged in a free fight on Broadway, near Market, over a neighborhood quarrel. The scene attracted a large number of spectators and was one of the most interesting amusements that has been afforded the people of this city for some time, although they would prefer being spared such a sight again. The offending parties should be arrested and fined. This statement of course excepts those who were obliged to defend themselves.
