That prize fight was fought and re-
fought hundreds, yes. almost thou

other city and town in the United

topic of the prize fight, it's great fea-
lures and the question Of the decision.
In one day one could pick up more
points on the history of pugilism by
hearing the men and boys talk than he
could learn of other topics in years of
study and conversation with authori-
ties On every street corner and in
about every store. everywhere that boys
or men met, there was discussion, be-
fore the conversation was over of the

have been reviewed by State officers. Have
lots of visitors. One of our recruits, Cyrus
Marsten, was drugged, robbed and terribly
beaten at resort called ",The Cave" near
Stahlemen's Brewery. in st. Paul. When
our boys learned this they made up purse
by passing the hat around and presented it
to Marsten, for the boys folks are poor. He
sent it home.

who perpetrated this massacre were never
punished, for 1 often saw this chief in
Little Crows camps around Yellow Medi-

brag about his exploits; but just wait q bit,
till we get hold of him and his band, and
we will make good Indians of them for sure
this time. We have passed through Fair
mont and Estherville and crossed the iowa
line at Tuttle's Lake; roads poor, country
very thinly-Settled. Are now nearing the
