FIGHT IN THE STREET.
ONE MAN CRITICALLY ILL. CHARGE AGAINST ANOTHER. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Waimate, Last Night. As a sequel to a street fight on Labor Day, George Bremer, a young man, a laborer, of Waimate, was charged today with assaulting David James Stewart, aged 24, of Timaru, and causing actual bodily harm. Evidence taken at the hospital, where Stewart is critically ill, showed that a party of Waimate youths were laughing across the street at a Timaru party. The latter crossed over to see why, and Bremer,/ egged on by the others, commenced to fight Stewart. Both adjourned round the corner and continued, and the next thing 'Stewart knew was being carried to a doctor’s house.
Bremer was remanded for a week. The police asked that bail should be substantial in view of the possible seriousness of the charge. Bail was granted in self £3OO, and two securities of £300; and it was immediately forthcoming.
