GEORGETOWN The Sequel of a Family Row and other Local Happenings. Yesterday there was developed here a sensation in low life. The Harris family lives on the Canal road and goes on the warpath whenever the spirit moves and the blood bolds, which the police say is about every month. Their latest scrimmage was on Wednesday night. It is stated by the officers that Mrs. Nancy Nailor, nee Harris, is credited with being the cause of the family fracas. Miss Adaline Harris tackled her brother in law, Mr. Benjamin Nailor, knocked him down and ousted him. Mr. Nathaniel Dickson also became engaged. Miss Mollie Harris contributed her quota to the fun. Later Miss Mollie went to the residence of the Jones and Ashburn families and succeeded in picking a fight. A little later all the persons mentioned were landed at station no. 7 by Officers Bradley and Hall. The affair aroused unusual interest in the neighborhood.
