\ leive-DOllar Bet

Our friend Mcdonald repeats
humorous story this week about our
friend Harry HumrichOuser losing
five dollars on the Corbett -Fitzsimmons
fight, which was reported In THE INDIE
PENDENT and caused Harry to lose the
bet. Nc. seems to be rather ancient
in giving out news. Why don't you
tell something about Henry VII, of
England, granting patents in 1896. or
the death of Odoacer, king of Italy, in
493; the former being more appropriate
as you are quite English, you know,
on the tariff issue. HumrichOuser and
the editor of THE INDEPENDENT had
quite a talk some time ago over this
little error, and at the time he told
us that THE INDEPENDENT gave out
important news ahead of the TT. Wayne
papers in a number of instances But
even that error in comparison to the
Sweet business, reported by the Demo
crat and copied by his friend Brooke of
the Republican, is very small. Crack
