Knives and fists mark Labor Day picnic clashes
Milcom Colwell, a well known colored man, allegedly stabbed Rock Island plumber Joe Rosenfield at the Labor Day picnic after a parade, amid quarrels with a stranger named White. Rosenfield, badly wounded, faced surgery, while Colwell was jailed on assault charges as doctors fought to save Rosenfield’s life. In Rock Island, Hugh Houston was slashed by White in a street duel ending with a rock blow. Houston survived after medical care.
