TWO BADGER FIGHTS
INNES BAND BOYS VICTIMS OF
TWO BADGER FIGHTS YES
TERDAY AFTERNOON.

Great excitement prevailed in ne
vicinity of the central fire station yes.
terday afternoon on account CT the
fact that two first class badger fights
were pulled off for the entertainment
of the members of the lnnes band
who were compelled to lay over an
other day on account Of high water.
The badger was in the best of trim
for the trays and the two dogs were
in fine shape Both battles were de-
clared d.aws. although the fre boys
aver that the badger came out best
in both fights, Notwithstanding differ
ent dogs were used each time. Quite
a number Of devotees OF the sport OF
badger fighting were present to wit
ness the combat and all enjoyed them
selves.
The first fight was arranged In a
few moments at the corner OF Main
and North Washington street and the
crowd Immediately wended their way
to the fire hall to get permission OF
the fire chief to allow his badger to
fight. On account OF the fact that so
many OF the citizens OF the city hay'
ing wagers placed on the battle, an
outsider, Milton Foy, of the band
concluded to handle the badger, hay
ing had considerable experience in
dog and chicken fighting in Chicago
although no experience in handling an
animal like a badger. The hackers OF
the badger were at first wary OF al
lowing the young man TO pull the bad
ger, but finally concluded to allow the
band man 10 pull IN, string. Milton

any better. When the crowd finished

other victim on which to play the
joke.
Before the crowd could disperse Mr..
Foy and a number of other members
OF the band returned to see anotn r
fight that had been arranged between
another bull dog and the badger.
Within a very short time the prelim-
mary arrangements we're completed.
and the crowd wagered large sums OF
money on the second fight. all betting
on the dog with but few exceptions.
Some trouble was mad to secure a
person to pull the badger and handle
that animal, finally Corporal CleSg a
