The Chicago Tribune - Wednesday, May 22, 1895
London, May 21. - The Marquis of Queensberry on his son, Lord Douglas of Hawick had an exciting quarrel in Piccadilly this afternoon. They were both arrested and charged with a breach of the peace and were released on bail.
The fashionable afternoon promenade in Piccadilly was well filled with aristocratic spectators when the Marquis met Lord Douglas near the corner of Bond Street. A few words were passed between them and then there was a brief but determined conflict. The police immediately separated the combatants. Lord Douglas' countenance was disfigured with a black eye. Neither the father nor the son preferred a charge against each other, so they were merely charged with disorderly conduct. They will be arraigned in the Marlborough police court tomorrow. The Marquis suffered no bodily injury from the scrimmage, but his high hat was badly smashed. The crowd outside the police station loudly cheered him as he left it after having given bail. Lord Douglas was compelled to seek refuge in a cab.
