Newspaper Tidbit: Fight between Hinson and Fewell (1873)

Richmond Whig (Richmond, Va.)
12 December 1873

RECONTRE.--On Thursday last a fight occurred at Manassas between C. L. Hinson town sergeant, and Rhoda Fewell, in which the latter was very roughly handled. Hinson had arrested Fewell for some offence, and when the latter was released he went for the former with a knife, inflicting, it is said, a slight cut in his leg, Hinson returning the compliment by giving Fewell a sound thrashing. Fewell afterward went for some one else, and received a beating from him also. --Alexandria Sentinel
