VT was the early taste of heavy, hard outdoor work which served to build up and make a strong, sturdy "kid" of me. Though not very tall, I was stockily built for a youngster, and when I quit the Ham mond company I was really doing a mans work.
 In 1897 I engaged in enc bout al home with Ole Olson, and of course won it. The Swede at the time had gained the reputation in Hegewisch and vicinity as being the best kid scrapper going. We had a boys athlet ic club in Hegewisch called the White House club, which was organized i'm mediately after my decisive victory over 'WaIlace's Unknown" Ole Olson questioned my right to pose as the champion of Hegewisch. and a battle was arranged between us.
 Olson Gets a Licking.
 Olson, like the unknown, had it on me both in height, reach and weight; but, despite this, I felt confident l could best him.
 In the opening round Olson went aft CT me to make short work of 1t, and certainly had to fight good and hard to stall off his fierce rushes and heavy in- fighting. At the conclusion of this round it was pretty even at that. Again, in the second round he contin- ued to carry the fight to me and at times had me covering up to avoid pun ishment. During these hard mixups, however, I was sending in telling left uppercuts, which were, as far as could see, fast getting Ole's goat.
 I was the aggressor before the sec ond round was up, and when the bell tingled calling us up for the third and final round I was on top of my oppo- nent in a jiffy. I handed him a series of heavy swings and short arm jolts at close quarters which knocked all the fight out of him.
 I knocked him down a few times, and when he came in at me I handed over straight left which floored him. He went down for the count.
 After this battle I had an argument with my family because of the affair, and I ran away from home.
 "Going away, ma, to seek my for tune," was the childish note which mailed to ma from Hegewisch on the evening of June 15, 1897. Ma still has this letter, and she is a witness to the fact that "I made good" my childish brag.
 headed northward, beating my way in slow stages and working at odd jobs. landed in Huron, s. D., about the middle part of July, sadder and much wiser little tad. My two great victories. as called them, over the unknown and the champion of Hege- wisch. Olson, had caused the fighting bee to get busy in my bonnet. I se- cured a position in a meat market in Huron at $15 per month and worked steadily until Christmas day. I de handed $2O a month, and when it was refused me quit.
 Bat Becomes . Cowboy.
 Here I met up with a cowboy, and he took me out to one of the big ranches close by, where I became regular cowboy. Another wild ambi- tion of mine had been gratif1ed. had read novels of Buffalo Bill and other famous men of the plains and greatly admired their personalities and rec ords. So here I was astride horse now and actually herding cattle.
