" Manager Lewis Tells OF the Con-
tract With the Turk and OF
Talked Litigation.

Hall Adali has exhibited himself to
Anaconda and that small portion of the
Anaconda public which attended the
exhibition last evening thinks he is
about the biggest thing in the shape of
flesh and muscle that ever came this
way.
Prof Billy Langdon and Mark, the
turks trainer, spent considerable time
during the exhibition earnestly endeav-
oring to keep from being thrown by
Hall Adali, but each went down twice
before the mighty mass of mussulmanic
flesh. AS an exhibition it was an ex-
iseellent showing they made
Aa Hall Adali's chief features are a
Dread expanse of brown skin showing
above his belt, an abdomen that is of
tremendous girth and has wrinkles and

smeltersstack, bullet head and bored
expression. There are 2ss pounds of
him, chiefly muscle.

Then Hail Adali waddled to his corner

Mark. the trainer, went in for the
nrst bout. The Turk stretched out one
arm, Mark came within it's reach and
the TURK leaned on him several sec

something entirely foreign to the sub
Ject in hand. Then Mark leaped con-
