From the July 5, 2017, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back.
1917, 100 Years Ago
"A gang of Finns up in the northeast part of DeKalb got into a melee yesterday and riving the fracas one man was the victim with with two others the guilty ones. The victim's shirt was torn and he suffered a fracture of a thumb.
The police were called to the scene and with the aid of the public safety wagon, the offenders were bought to town, and it is probably they will be assessed a stiff fine for their fun of besting up the other guy."
