TWO BOUTS
BY SLIM CROWD AT
AUDITORIUM RINK.
Spectators Raise Purses for Fighters
when Box Office Receipts Fail 10
Make Good.

Before a small crowd two good
boxing bouts were pulled of last
night at the Auditorium rink. The
promoters, who arranged the match
expected to have a large crowd dur
ing the races. The first bout was
between Phil Sllverberg and frankie
White. The second bout was between
Tommy Dixon and Billy Turner.
When time TO call the fight the
fighters refused to don the mits, but
the crowd clipped in and gave a
purse Of $50 for six rounds between
Silverberg and White. They mixed
.it up lively. White did the leading,
and was fast and shifty on his feet.
Silverberg was cool and took punish
ment calmly and watched his oppor-
tunity to land stiff blow.
In the bout between Dixon and
Turner the little scrappers did not
show the science OF the first bout, but
it pleased the crowd better. II was
hammer and slug all the way through
Dixon was the sturdier and fought
harder, but Turner was game and
took his punishment without whim-
per He was forced to cover several
times. but exchanged several good
wallops. Claud Styers was referee.

Arch Pool, night editor OF the
Courier-Journal, let his contention
against the Blizzard Pond assessment
60 by default in the county court,
but the Confessional Monday
morning took very hefty fling at
the drainage proposition, weaving
romance and allegory around the
swamp and old chief, Paducah.
It says:
Hard by the river called Clark's
lay the pond called Blizzard. The
pond was old when Kentucky was
young. II was a landmark before
maps were made and before Ken
lucky history was thought about.
Paduoah. chief OF Cherokees, found
II a happy hunting ground ere he
was gathered to his fathers. On its
classic borders he built his campfires
unmolested and smoked his. pipe OF
peace, or his piece of pipe, as the
case may have been. Years before
the coming of the white man the
tepees Of Chief Paducah's trlbesmen
dotted It's shores. Their trusty arrows
carried the message OF death to the
red deer as he struggled through its
of cane; their wolf-scaring
fagots lighted up the far OF, circling
hills and the love songs of their
youths and maidens echoed and re-
echoed through the stygian Businesses
of Blizzard Pond.
True. Chief Paducah did not
know the pond by its present name.
In his own peculiar and picturesque
language, doubtless, he called 1t some
thing that meant big-drink-in-the-
woods or lake-of-a-thousand bull
frogs. At any event he Is popularity
supposed to have fingered around
there until the paleface came con-
quering and to conquer. II is not re-
corded In the written annals OF the
treasured traditions OF western Ken
lucky whether Chief Paducah sold his
happy hunting ground to the white
man for seventeen brass buttons, a
red blanket and three fingers of Are
water, or whether he left the locality
in lope with the bullets of the pale
face whlstl.ng through his head
feathers and making dents in his
limited buckskin wardrobe. Whether
II was hocus pocus or by hot shot, the
white man took possession and CHIEF
Paducah having yielded up his goodly
heritage. yielded up the ghost. How
he went was a matter over which the
white man did not speculate, the

ORIGIN
OF a Famous Human Food.

The story Of great discoveries or
Inventions is always of interest.
An active brain worker who
found himself hampered by lack OF
bodily strength and yigor and could
not carry out the plans and enter
prises he knew how to conduct. was
led 10 study various foods and their
effects upon the human system. In
other words before he could carry
out his plans he had TO find food
that would carry him along and re-
new his physical aud mental
strength.
lie knew that n food which was a
brain and nerve builder. (rather
than a mere fat maker) was uniyers-
ally needed lie knew that meat
with the average man does not ac-
complish the desired results. lie
knew that the soft gray substance
in brain and nerve centres is made
from Albumen and Phosphate Of
Potash obtained from food. Then
he started to solve the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous
food. II contains the brain and nerve
building food elements in condition
for easy digestion.
The result OF eating Grape-Nuts
daily is easily seen in marked
sturdiness ana activity of the brain
and nervous system, making it a
pleasure for one to carry on the
daily duties without fatigue or ex-
haustion.
Grape-Nuts food is In no sense a
stimulant but is simply food which
renews and replaces the daily waste
of brain and nerves.
Its favour Is charming and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory IT is served instantly with
cream.
The signature of the brain worker
spoken of. c. w. Post, is to be seen
on each genuine package of Grape
Nuts.

main thing being that he went, and
stood not on the order of his going
and being a dead Indian was a good
Indian, OF course. When Il was as
sured that he was dead town was
named after him, some years later.
Followed apaee the era of the
white man, who. having little to do
but hunt. kept up the pace set by
Chief Paducah. When bear and deer
became scarce he hunted the opossum
and the coon. When time hung
heavy on his hands he went fishing.
When there was nothing else to do
he fought mosquitoes and buffalo
gnats, or shot any stray Indians that
might happen TO be loafing around.
In the fullness of time the little river
near BY was discovered and named.
II anybody discovered the pond, how
ever, he probably considered It a
good thing to lose and accordingly
lost 1t. No one seemed to have
thought of naming II until old man
Blizzard, whose first name is lost in
the shuttle of tradition, froze to death
in 1t and thus gave a permanent
name to its watery waste. AS the
settlement of the country progressed
and MeCracken county was built
around the pond. some enterprising
surveyor looked over the swamp and
made a map of what he thought IL
ought to look like. In that shape 1t
went down in subsequent maps and
so II has remained.
Coming down to later days. rail-
roads were built on each side of the
pond; it was denuded of its timber
and eventually fell into the hands of
a corporation. The men composing
this corporation took counsel of one
another and decided that insamuch as
their land was not salable, either by
the acre or gallon, they would take
advantage of the laws made and pro-
vided and would drain Blizzard Pond
at the expense of the property own
ers. A survey was made OF the To-
cality and line was marked out for
a drainage ditch. The property own
ers, including the corporation which
owns the pond, were assessed in vary
ing amounts. Then howl went up,
the like OF which never had been
heard since the war-whooping days
of old Chief Paducah's Cherokees,
Somebody objected; in fact. nearly
everybody, and they are still object
ing. There have been surveys and
resuryeys, views and reviews, maps
