in the scale of civilization, Saturday
January 2S, and permitted a rough town
A number oflstar sports congregated IL
the ID. B. S. Hall to witness two wrest
ling bouts One between Art Cameron
of Greeley and Mr.. Rogers of Extra and
another between Adams and Wiges
both of Hamlin. The first bout was
robbed of its interest and amusement by
the ease with which Cameron handled
Rogers, but Adams and Wiges were SC
evenly matched that for more than one
hour they amused the crowd by cunning
scientific turns and rhinoceros plunging
AT last strange smile began to play
about the corners of Adams mouth
This was the crisis. With the agility Of
tiger he swept down upon his opponent
with bulldog rush and cyclone slam
Wiges went up in the air. The CROWD
waited long and patiently for him tc
come down. When he did come dowr
he lit with about three dozen points on
the mat. The grueling bout was over
Adams was the modest hero of the hall
The scene shifted from the hall into the
street, where big crowd gathered and
continued to boast, bluster and wrangle
until sunset. The excitement culmi
mated in two disgraceful fist fights which
sent two of Audubon townships mon
strosities home with loose teeth and
bleeding mouths.
