MARTIN-EDELS BOUT,
A Word to All Lovers of the Manly
Art in This Section.

The Martin and Edels bout at City
and best bout ever put on in this city
Both men are very fast and in their
last bout at Portland showed tina,
they were newly matched and the best
ever seen in that city Terry Martin
has appeared here before and has
made good with all. He is Il gentleman
both in and out of the ring and knows
the game from a to 2. Harry EdeIs is
a popular boxer wherever he has been
He has always made good at Portland
where he has shown several times this
season. He is certainly favorite and
clearly demonstrated that he is one of
the best men in the game today at his
weight.
The public should be sure and witness
this bout. The association feels that
they were very fortunate in securing
such Il good attraction as many clubs
have tried to match these boys since
their bout at Portland.
r Gilbert will meet Butler in the first
preliminary At SIS O'Clock. This will
be a good contest as these are both To-
cal boys and are anxious to become

"A bout that is being discussed by the
fans is that between Terry Martin and
Harry EdelS. which is to take place in
Augusta. Me, Friday night. Martin
has been doing considerable boxing in
this section and has made good in most
Of the battles. He has got back to his
old form. and the manner in which he
defeated DeShler and Kid Coffev shows
it. Although he got a decision over
Edels some weeks ago it was so close
one that the sports are not satisfied
that Martin is really the better boxer
EdelS feels sure that on Friday night
he will reverse the decision in the rrc-
vious bout. Both men are in good
shape. and while their last contest was
said to he one of the best ever seen in
Maine. their coming battle is expected
to be better one.-Boston Globe.

A dozen families In Hillsdale had
family wells-that Is, wells sunk on
the dividing line and used by two FAM
lilies. No one ever had heard of any
trouble on this account, but the lawyer
J hadn't been In the village a month
when there was trouble enough over
the wells alone to keep him busy for
days. People charged each other with
drawing more than their share Of the

seven lawsuits to his credit am double
that number on the way. Every one
who had one suit seemed to ache for
another, and the party who was beaten
was prompt to take an appeal.
The crisis came when Uncle Jerry
Thomas, one Of the most peaceful men
In the world, suddenly decided that the
Baptist church, which had bought a
piece OF land from him, had cheated
him and should be sued for a greater
price. That took In everybody who
hadn't any lawsuit on hand, and Hills

Then somebody went up to his office to
