Boxing Harry

Welcome to Hugh Quinn's saloon fight fans. The number one place in Queens for a good brawl on this balmy 1917 evening.
In this corner Long Island City resident, boxer and election day goon Harry Alexander (Yay! Yay!)
In this corner six guys who wanna take Harry out. (Boo boo hiss)
There's the bell
Harry comes out swinging. His boxing and strong arm skills are coming in handy...down goes one of his opponents, another, yet another it looks like Harry might actually clean the place up with all six of his attackers!!! It's amazing one against six who would of thought...uh oh whats this...one of the six just drew a gun...Harry doesn't see it as the man is behind him...he wouldn't actually shoot would he?...Yep he would. Harry goes down with a bullet in the back.
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 It's all over for Harry...literally.

Edit: Got my dates mixed up. This actually happened on Aug. 6, so forget it and come back and read it on Wednesday
