The Under Dog.
A 4og fight in front of Taylor's drug
store this afternoon about o'clock broke
up business for about so minutes and it
resulted in bulldog mopping up with an
old black cur, but it is said to the credit
of the cur, he delivered the goods for
about ten minutes in grand style and he
was only put out of business from the
fact that judging from his looks he had
The cur came trotting along by the
drug store and he turned neither to the
right nor to the left, he simply kept on
his way, but when he reached the cor
ner his way was blocked and 1t was a
big husky bulldog that blocked it. The
bulldog has a reputation around town of
being the real thing, and some one said
he had been trained by Lou Brill If
that dog was trained by louie is a dead
one as far as championship fights go.
Evidently the cur did not stack up to
suit him, anyway he landed on him and
the fight was on.
The cur proved to be in a class all
by himself, he went to work and he
worked for ten minutes just like a union
dog or union bricklayer. Unfortunately
the O'Clock whistle over at Reeders'
mines blew just about that time, and he
released his hold the other dog in
order to see il it was time to quit That
move caused him to be defeated because
as quick as a flash the bulldog grabbed
him and after that it was all off. He
shook the cur and he bit several small
chunks out of his head.
BUSINESS was suspended and the cur
was licked. but the fight drew crowd
and front seats were at premium.
Taken all in all, it was given up to
be the best fight of its KIND ever puiieo
of, in Bessemer, and while the cur event
uallv lost out he was given credit for
having the stuff In him of which great
dogs are made.
