Amish Dilemma: A Novel. Sioux Dallas

      He gulped. “Yes, your honor. Well, I was at the front counter taking money from a customer that was just leaving. A man and a woman. The woman had started out the door but turned around to say that there was a big fight going on about a block near the Feed and Tack Store. The man rushed to join her and I was right behind them. I saw there was indeed a fight. This is unusual, so I called to one of the waitresses to tell her that I would be back shortly. I ran toward the fight and, as I got closer, I could see there were a lot of young men and some of them were Amish. Just then one of the Amish men was knocked down and three of the town men proceeded to kick him. I yelled, but they paid no attention to me. Apparently someone had already called the Sheriff because he ran up just as I got there. He and his deputies started pulling the men apart and he tried to get them to stop and talk to him. Some of the men from town wouldn’t stop, so he arrested all of them saying he would take them all in until he got to the bottom of it. Two of the men from town looked as if they had taken some hard licks. I heard some men standing around say the men from town had started it all.”
