TIPPED HAT TO LYNCH'S WIFE.
For This Did Lynch Return and
Knock McDonald Down.
In the presence of 300 persons at Twelfth street and Grand avenue yesterday afternoon J. J. Lynch smashed John McDonald because the latter tipped his hat to Lynch's wife.
Lynch and his wife started to cross the street. McDonald, standing on the corner, lifted his hat and bowed.
"Do you know that man?" said Lynch.
"I do not," said Mrs. Lynch.
"Let's return and see if he does it again," said Lynch.
They returned and McDonald tipped his hat again and Lynch promptly knocked him down.
The fight waged fast and furious until a bystander separated the combatants.
Lynch and McDonald were arrested on a charge of disturbing the peace.
