Prize Fight To-Night

Mayor Heustis, of Milltown, Alerts Sheriff of Planned Mill in Parsons Grove

Mayor Heustis of Milltown and Borough Attorney Edward W. Hicks visited Sheriff Church this morning. The Mayor notified the Sheriff that he had information indicating that some New Brunswick sportsmen proposed to hold a prize fight in Parsons’ Grove this evening.

One of the principals, according to the Milltown officials’ information, is a well-known New Brunswick boxer in the lightweight class, and his opponent is an out-of-town bruiser.

Prosecutor Berdine was notified, and it was decided to have officers on hand to break up the “mill” if it starts. If the promoters decide to hold it elsewhere, detectives will be busy watching to trail them and make arrests if found advisable.
