| Data | A “base-ball” and a horse were at the heart of a violent dispute between two women whose respective children, a boy and a girl, had themselves gotten into a physical argument. One of the mothers took the other to court, and according to a newspaper report on the proceedings, the complainant said “that her child and the defendant's were playing at base-ball together, when the ball got under a horse's foot and was burst.” The girl then struck the boy, claiming he had thrown the ball under the horse deliberately, the boy complained to his mother, and both mothers then got into a violent fight. |
