The Quaii Eater Was
Defested
After Ea'ing 85l Quails,
The World's Record
Beaten.

Crenshaw was in a detected mood
when asked ny Times representative
how he was feeling last night.
"How do l feel" he groaned. 81
feel like / had a cannon ball in my
stomach. My blood is sluggish and /
do not breathe freely. In fact, l feel
at times a good deal like was falling
out of a third story window and
couldn't catch my breath. have a
choking sensation, too, at times, and
it was that which made me give it up.
MY s'omach revolted aud that's all
there is to 1t "
"Do you think you will ever be
able 10 eat quail again."
"No. | do not. At any rate l will
not eat any more this season"
At this juncture he seemed to be
suddenly seized with a desire to get
away from the crowd and ba,tily re-
treated. He returned, however in a
few moments.
Crenshaw has set the worlds record
for quail eating, although he lost the
wager. Fourteen years ago a man
named Halloran beat all previous
records by eating sixty quails in thirty
days. Hallursn died three days after.
CrenshaW ate 859 quails in twenty
nine days. Three days ago Crenshsw
was tod of Halloran's feat and fate,
aud it is said that this preyed On his
mind and bad a good deal to do with
making Rim fail IN bis attempt.
CreUshsw will probably receive q
goodly compensation for the feat be
has accomplished. He has drawn
large crowds daily to the place where
the quail eating was going on, and the
sale of liquor has been immense. 1t is
said that Crenshaw had been indulg,
ing too freely when be gave up the
contest.
The manner in which the wager
was made is interesting. A number
ofpoliticians dropped into Knauer's
hoIel IN the East bottoms a few days
before the election and treated quail
to a crowd of men, among them being
william CreDstaw. Crenshaw was a
laborer living on Rochester street.
He ate a quail. and when offered an
other readily devoured that also, and
then did not stop until he had eaten
seven.
Chow many days could you keep
that up ?" Crenshaw was asked by
Kuauer as the crowd gazed on the
quail eating feat in amazement.
II think could eat half dozen a
day for thirty days." was the reply.
Knauer offered to wager $500 he
could not eat three a day for that
length of time. Ferd Helm, who
was present, called Crenshaw to one
side, and after brief conference GOV.
cred Knauer's wager. Crenshaw was
to receive 5000 if be succeeded, and
was to have free privileges at Knauers
bars, both in the bottoms and on
Main street. The bar bill amounted
to about $47. Crenshaw generally
took two drinks of whisky just before
eating quail, AID he said it assisted
digestion. Generally he took several
drinks just after eating quail.
