preliminary to the big wrestling match between Dune
Mcmillan and Chief Two Feathers has stirred up the
sports and aroused great interest in the athletic show to
be given at the Spokane theater next Wednesday night

give odds and the next time Gregg man will flash his
roll for the long end.

inclined to believe that either the Indian Barney
