Marshall Reporter: Last Monday
Marshall went crazy oyer foot race.
The Redwood boys brought along
with them what they thought to be a
crack runner and offered to run any
body in Marshall at any odds. After
supper some of the boys tried to get
Frank More to run against him. As
Frank had not attempted to run any
for about year it was hard to get
him in. The betting ran as high as
six to one and there were few takers.
The whole town got out to see the
race and proceeded to 60 crazy when
Frank beat with two yards to spare.
A meeting was scheduled to occur

about the use of jury room in the

that no injury has been done.
