1887 MAXWELL news story online
Hi,
I just posted a fairly "colorful" old newspaper story about two men who got into quite a fight at Leadville, CO. Their names were George MAXWELL and Henry NILES,and they were reportedly fighting over a gambling debt.
It sounds like it was QUITE a fight... a la Mike Tyson!
This was scanned from an original issue of an 1887 newspaper, and you can see it online here:
