A fine was paid in the police court this morning by Ben Mullen, who became so enthusiastic at the boxing contests last night that he climbed into the ring and attempted to assist one of the fighters with liquid refreshment. Mullen was arrested on a charge of drunkenness. Written permission to reprint Looking Back: A Glimpse Through the Chronicle's Files given by The Dalles Chronicle, The Dalles, Oregon.
