When the Faribault correspondent of the
GLOBE stated last week that the II. w Pratt

and hub race, the Mankato fremen did not
expect that the Faribault team would run.
The members of the Mankato team stated
that the Faribault company while great at
making bluffs, would not accept one propo-
sition made by The Mankato company I'm
mediately after the article from Faribault ap-
peared in the GLOBE, the Mankato company
inserted IN these columns an official and
specific challenge of $500, the Farlbault cor
respondent having stated that the team of
that city would put up that amount
Since then not a word has been
heard from the Pratt running
team in relation to the challenge The prop
osition OF the home team having been to run
at the Owatouna fair and the money to be
deposited with Col Clark Thompson last
Monday, the company of this city are con-
WINGED that the talk of the Farbault crowd is
mere buster, and that they do not desire to
meet the Makato company in a race, such as
the Farihaut correspondent stated last Fri
day. The statement also that the Maukato
team never defeated the Faribaults. is
equally unreliable, the Maukato company
having defeated Faribault in two distinct hose
contests and at Faribault in the hose race.
