Women Engage in a Hair-Pulling

The [Marietta] Register-Leader, July 22, 1920

When the children engaged in a quarrel Wednesday evening, the mothers took it up and Mrs. Basil Carpenter and Mrs. Ed McGovern of Barber Avenue engaged in an old-fashioned hair-pulling. 

A large crowd gathered to watch the fight and one of the neighbors notified the police. The two women were ordered to appear before Mayor W. M. Sprague Thursday morning. They were fined one dollar and costs each by the mayor, on a charge of fighting. They paid and were released.
