150 Years 1857-2007 The Dalles THE DECADES OF HISTORY February 28, 2007 Hurdy-Gurdy House Rukus FIGHT AT VANCOUVER - A fight occurred between a party of soldiers, of the cavalry, and some citizens, at Vancouver [Washington], on Monday night, in which one soldier was killed and three others wounded, besides two hurdy-gurdy girls had their legs broken. It appears that the soldiers were paid off on Monday, and after night went to the town for the purpose of "cleaning out" a hurdy-gurdy house. Several shots were fired and stones flew thick and fast. The fight lasted some time, but finally the soldiers were driven from the house and order was restored.
