Crimson Account of Herr Engel's Windfall Leads to Attack by Truck Driver--Feud Started in 1917

A dispute started about some cabbages in 1917 reached its climax last night in Charles' Lunch when Herr Alexander Engel was attacked by a truck-driver who wished to get his revenge before the "Professor" should leave for Europe.

Shortly after eight o'clock, Herr Engel, carrying his food from the counter, was attacked by the truck-driver--one of the strongest men in Cambridge, it is said, and one of the most bibulous who punched Herr Engel in the left cheek. Herr Engel, resentful, struck his assailant with his cane. Both men picked up chairs but Herr Engel was able to parry only three of the legs, receiving from the fourth a gash across the eye. Herr Engel, it appears, threw the truck-driver under the table and although his assailent was withdrawn from the restaurant without further trouble by some of his more sober friends, Herr Engel vows he will bring charges.

All this started during the War when some of Herr Engel's cabbages that he was raising for the government were thrown at him. The case was brought into court but nothing was done. The truck-driver, it seems, has borne the grudge and having read in the CRIMSON about Herr Engel's proposed trip to Germany, resolved that his enemy should not escape unseathed.
