DANCE HALL FRACAS.
Guns And Razors In London ... Fight,. , SIX FIRE ENGINES OUT. LONDON, September 30. Guns, razors, fire engines and several policemen figured in a gang fight here last night when two men were seriouslv hurt.
About 50 men were engaged in the battle and many revolver shots were fired.
Alarmed at the serious nature of the conflict a passer-by broke a fire alarm and six engines were quickly on the scene.
By this time police had arrived in force and the rioters fled before the could bring the hoses into action.
The trouble began in a dance hall some nights previously, but it was smoothed over, and only broke out again when the hotels closed last night.
