Another dispatch from the past
Here's another blurb from the archives for your enjoyment.
Toronto Daily Mail, April 21, 1879
Parkdale News
On Monday evening a fight took place between several rough characters from the city and a number of villagers. The former, it appears, had filled themselves full of whiskey procured in an unlicensed tavern here, and in this condition attacked, without cause, the residents. The rowdies, after being thoroughly pummelled with walking sticks in the hands of their opponents, were compelled to make a hasty retreat eastward.
