The immense crowd at the sale
of thoroughbred and high grade
cattle which took place yesterday at
Jas. Spensley's farm, one-half mile
west of this city, attested plainly
the great interest developing among
the farmers of southwestern Wis
consin for superior stock. At no
auction within the history of this
community was there anywhere near
such an assemblage, where nothing
but cattle was offered for sale. Buy
ers came long distance from every
direction, while spectators focked
there in great numbers. Just pre-
Yious to the hour for commencing
the sale one was vividly reminded
of fair time. Our streets were
crowded with teams and pedestrians
all headed for Mr.. Spensley's, and
even buses were brought into use.
Bidding was active and prices
ranged well at the sale.
THE manage of Evan Lewis, the
doughty Welsh boy who a few
months ago came into Madison from
his father farm in Ridgeway, Iowa |
county, and created such stir in
sporting circles as wrestler, has
sent the following challenge to
Charles Moth, the German wrestler:
Lewis will wrestle Moth a mixed !
match Of FIVE bouts in Minneapolis, |
any time after two weeks from the
present date, for any sum Moth may |
name and for either rs or 100 per
cent of the receipts, as Moth may
prefer-two bouts to be catch-as
catch-can, two Gr8co-Roman and |
the fifth either side-hold or Cornish |
as Moth may elect; or, Lewis will |
agree 20 throw Moth four times in
the space Of one hour, catch-as-cateh-
can, for the same stakes; but he will !
not wrestle a straight GRECO Roman |
match with Moth"
IN the last issue of the TRIBUNE !

Countrynan to the effect that a
stock buyer at Cottage Grove, in
Dane county, was suspected Of cheat /
ing those he bought stock of by

matter has since been brought near
