rate Of Sc a month fSr seven months.
After the fire in July she notified Mr..
Striecher who said he wanted TO collect
the insurance for her, She placed her loss
at Sc. She testified that no Inspector had
come TO ascertain the damage. but that
Strecher had collected $50 from the In
surance people, $40 Of which he had turned
over 10 her.
Some time later she sought TO trans
fer the loan TO place, where the interest
was not so great and then found out how
much insurance had been collected. She
then brought the action against Streicher.

entire $50 over TO the plaintiff, with the
exception OF IS due him as interest. Two
stenogrh piers from his office corrobor-
ated his evidence.

The main was fought under Northwestern
rules and referee was chosen at the PIT
side
The affair was attended by n select
crowd Of sports from all over western
New York and Canada and a number
from Waterford Boston and other near
by cities The main was the hardest
fought that has taken place in the vicin-
ity OF Buffalo and IL was near breakfast
time when IL was finished. Each side
showed l5 birds and II pairs fell between
the weights Of four pounds six ounces

stated that the main resulted 10 in IA

sions by the referee were the cause of
Casey's birds losing the fight. The dis
patch stated that Graham won seven out
OF the nine battles fought at the main.
The claim OF the Waterford contingent
that the main was lost through two bad
decisions by the referee is probably made
with more or less reason. The articles
stated that the referee should be picked
