There were live four-round

The Terrible Padgetts ooen
I ed the show with a last four
round exhibition in which they
displayed action and head work
througuout. These boys are very

evening. They opened at a furious
pace and for two rounds Kronst

frame. Tile last pace was* too <
much for Kronstadt who was
out of condition and Whitey j
came back strong about this
lime to gain the verdict.
Jack Loski, announced as
former mayor of McCarthy, put
on a two round exhibition with
Battling Victor of Bonanza and
; some real science of the game
was displaced but owing to the '
i twenty five or thirty odd pounds'
| superiority in weight of Loski
no attempt was mabe to ‘mix it’.
Lockwood, of McCar thy, and
Stan Young of Kennecott were
next on the list and here again
tlie extra twenty pounds weight
of Young told in the clinches.
Lockwood was perhaps the
better at long range fighting
being much faster but a heavy

JOE AND THE SEAR
The following is a verbat
jim extract from a letter vvritt
j °n by Jotf Murray from Young
Creek received this week.
I was treed by a bear vest
j e; day. He was a small black bear.
| He really acted as if he wanted
to play but I did not feel like
: ployieg with a bear, even a small
u-aek one 1 caulu have shot him
with a. .22. Alter became up to
' me and r was either climb the
j tree or play with him; the little
fellow lay down, yawned repeat
edly, and went to sleep. I bark
ed like a dog and made all the
noises that pool room bear hunt
ers tell about, but he looked on
ly curious. 1 lit a letter and drop*
pod it flaming near him; he wat
ched it with interest, but that
was the only emotion he show
ed. He struck me as being only
curious and unafraid not harm
ful; but his attentions became
too close.
NOTICE
Dr. K. N. Scruby wishes to
announce to his McCarthy
friends that his next visit to
Kennecott will be about January
1st after which regular visits
will be resumed. This schedule

the third. Both boxers displayed
good sportsmanship.
Kid Mackey of the lower
camp and Curley Smith of Bon
anza finished up the evening.
Smith had a little the advantage
in weight but was helpless
against the science of Mackey
who had him at his mercy. The
bout was marred by poor sports
mansliip on the part of Mackey
toward a beaten apponent.
A rather small crowd turned
out to witness the performance.
