Food Fight Ends in Court
Waco Times-Herald
March 17, 1909
SHIRT WAS EXHIBITED AS PART OF EVIDENCE
Two white men, R.G. Brown and John Hermosen, were fined $5 each in the city court this morning on charges of assault and battery, Louis Santikos, a Greek, being the complaining witness.
It is claimed that Brown and Hermosen went into the eating house of Santikos, near the Katy depot, last night, ordered some things, and became angered about something, making an attack on the Greek and bombarding him fast and furiously with four dozen eggs which were sitting handy, besides hot catfish, catsup, pieces of bread and butter, fortified with other edibles which had sufficient weight about them to cleave the air.
The shirt of Santikos was exhibited this morning as evidence of the bombardment, and it was enough to convince a blind man that there was something doing in the vicinity of his place of business; the wall of the eating house is said to have resembled a war map of Europe.
Santikos was asked how many eggs were thrown at him and replied that he "No could tell; come too fast to count." It is understood, though, that there were four or five dozen in the bucket when hostilities commenced, and at the close of the scrap there was nothing in the bucket except the tin bottom.
