A bum going through Teegarden
made q wager of two dollars with Chss.
Lemert Friday of last week that he
could eat without stopping the follow
ing bill Of fare: Four bushels of Gu
cumbers, IL cans of beans, six bottles
Of beer and two pounds of pretzels.
On Friday evening there was quite an
audience watching the eater, who had
then consumed two bushels of the
pickles, the IL cans of baked beans,
part of the pretzels and 2 bottles of
beer. Whether he won the wager or
not we have not learned, but it wouldn't
be surprising If he did, as his capacity
for putting away food was something
enormous. The fellow claimed that he
eats but one square meal" week. He
certainly is not "in pickle" 1t is the
reverse in his case.
