The following from the Cedar Rapids Times gives the particulars in the case. For several years a muscular rivalry has existed between the younger citizens of Troy Mills and along the Wapsie, and the Irish settlers along the Buffalo Creek, in Buchanan county. The meetings of any members of the rival factions at public gatherings was the signal for a fistcuff. A few days before the celebration at Troy Mills, the Buffalonians sent over word that they would be on hand in force for the purpose of "cleaning out" their Wapsie brethren. True to their word they put in an appearance early in the day, but committed no avert act until late in the afternoon, when they became noisy and drunk and finally aggressive. They were ordered to keep quiet by Marshal of the Day Risdon, who was at once jerked from his horse and pummeled. Al Buckingham, a young farmer, with his brother Fred and a number of others, had been sworn in to quell the disturbance, precipitating a general fight, which extended from the postollice to the grove, where a dance, was in progress. At the dance platform the fight was thickest, and there Jack Devlin, of the Buffalo party, had his skull broken by a chair in the hands of Buckingham, it is said. The ground was fought over several times, and the fight came to an end through the sheer exhaustion of the participants. No firearms or knives were used, but stones, billies and clubs were flying in all directions. Aside from Devlin, the more seriously-injured, as far as learned, were Tom Heins, cut about face and head; Al Buckingham, badly bruised all over; R Baxter, bad cut over left forehead: Chas Vorce, who was in the thick of the fight all the time bruised all over; Joseph Gleason, face badly bruised, while Charles Derrigan, George Colman, Dennis Smith, Charles Church, John and Wm. Payton, Fred Buckingham and ARTHUR DUDLEY show unmistakable signs of having passed through a cyclone, a threshing machine, or a rough-and-tumble fight. The battle was a drawn one, and from every appearance, and the disposition manifested, will be renewed on first opportunity.
