Louis Hehman
Kentucky Post, Tuesday, 6 August 1895,

A neighborhood quarrel, which originated between children,
culminated this morning in a bloody street fight between three prominent Newport
citizens, Alderman Louis Hehman, Frank Voss and the latter's son John.
Shortly after this 8 am this morning, Mr. Hehman emerged from his residence, 428 West Seventh Street, Newport, and started up the street, when Frank Voss ran out of his planning mill across the street and shouted to the Alderman in angry tones to stop. Voss joined Hehman and charged him with using offensive language to the formers wife, which the Alderman denied, whereupon Voss raised his fist as if to strike.
Quick as a flash Hehman dealt Voss a terrific blow over the eye, cutting the skin and blacking the optic badly. Voss struck several blows also. Voss' son John ran up and joined his father in attacking Hehman, who held his own until the police arrived. Hehman proceeded to Police Headquarters and swore out a warrant for the arrest of Frank and John Voss on charge of provoking a breach of the peace.
Hehman says the trouble is one of long standing, having originated among their children, those of Voss, who terrorized the Hehman children. Yesterday Hehman called at the residence of Voss and informed him that the ill treatment of his children must stop. Mrs. Voss called at Hehman's home and renewed the controversy with Mrs. Hehman who is in delicate health. The case will be heard before Judge Dumont tomorrow morning.
