Ironton Lawyers Have Fist Fight

Portsmouth Daily Times, 19 Jan. 1911

Attorney’s Jed. B. Bibbee and Ezra Dean, landing lights of the Ironton bar, allowed their angry passions to rise while trying a case in a squire’s court. They exchanged blows and were ordered outside by the magistrate to fight it out.

The lawyers adjourned to Dean’s office, and pounded at each other’s faces like a pair of mutts for about fifteen minutes. The court then sent a constable in to separate the pair. Each had a bruised and blackened face to show for the fight.

The men are certainly “beauts.’ The Mayor of Ironton ought to hire somebody to give them a good spanking.
