dead Game Sports Present
From Many Cities
And The Battles Lasted All
Night Long
The Participants Make A
Get Away UDmOleSted

The biggest cooking main ever
pulled off in Knox county occurred
Thursday night just three miles north
east of Mt. Vernon and the partlcI-
pants made a clear getaway as the
early light of the morning appeared
in the eastern sky--unmoIested.
Arrangements for the fight had
been going on for some weeks, but
so quietly did the participants lay
their plans that the officials had no
knowledge whatsoever and conse-
quently not a single arrest was made
There were birds from Circleville,
GAINESVILLE, Newark, Mansfield, Ash
land, Mt. Vernon and elsewhere and
there were sports present from each
city having birds entered in the main.
The spectators for the big main ar
rived in the city on trains early Tues
day evening, but kept well under COW
er. They were not seen on the streets
or at the hotels. However, If a per-
son had been out on the Wooster road
about nine o'clock Thursday night he
would have wondered why so many
rigs of all kinds and description were
passing out the road at that hour of
the night
The big main was pulled off in a
barn in rather secluded spot several
rods from the public highway. The
said barn is located just about three
miles from the public square.
Every spectator was a dead game
sport and large sums of money ex.
changed hands before the big battle
was finished. There was a great deal
of excitement, but the best of order
prevailed
All night long the battle lasted and
when the early light of morning came
1t was discovered that the sports from
Ashland had cleaned up most of the
money. 1t was reported that some OF
the Mt. Vernon men lost quite heavily
on the fight, but the birds from Ash
land were the best fighters and con
sequently the money went to that city
There was another procession OF
rigs into Mt. Vernon early Friday
morning and then the fact leaked oht
that there had been one of the largest
cockings mains pulled off that Knos
county had ever Witnessed

No other medicine for woman's ills

For more than 80 years it has been

ularities, periodic pains and nervous
prostration, and it is unequalled for
carrying women safely through the
