Pugilists Pummel One Another At Pennsylvania Passenger Station

August 1911--The Pennsylvania passenger station hosted a large throng of lookey loo's who gathered while Walter Brown and Joe Jackson pummeled one another into a bloody mess. No crowd member attempted to bring the fight to an end, but instead watched the blood fight as entertainment.

The police hauled off the duo who appeared before Mayor Cassingham the next morning. Jackson drew a $2 fine plus costs and Brown a $1 fine plus costs.
