We are informed of a difficulty that occurred last Monday, at Pleasant Hill, between some of the attaches of James Robinson's circus and two men from Harrisonville, one named Lon Chany and the other known to our informant only by the nickname "Texas." Both men were under the influence of liquor when the fight occurred. There appears to have been an old grudge on the part of "Texas" toward some of the showmen. A quarrel ensued, "Texas" was roughly handled and ran away, after wounding one of the circus men with a ball from his revolver. After "Texas" had cleared out, the showmen pitched into Chany and pounded him in a savage manner, nearly beating the life out of him.
