Elderberries: Curley’s Fight Policy

From the files of Huckleberries (nee Kootenai Grapevine) 25 years ago:

The new barroom brawl policy of Curley's Tavern has caused ripples elsewhere around Hauser Lake. Recently, it was the subject of intense debate at the Rainbow Inn nearby. Patrons didn't think Curley's should bounce everyone involved in a fight, just the main culprit. The barkeep disagreed. Apparently, Curley's message that brawlers no longer are welcome is getting around.

Question: Have you ever seen a barroom fight?
