POLICE WORK LIVELY

Tom Dodge lost to Joe Turner on
foul, in the wrestling bout at Broad
street park, last night, and the roar
put up by the defeated Greeks
friends is still echoing from Chin
borazo park to the State fair grounds.
Referee Luke Won Lloyd allowed that
Dodge bit Turner on the wrist and
for this piece OF unfair tactics ne dis
qualified the Greek. Dodge said that
Turner bit himself, that he knew he
was due for q defeat and had inflicted
the injury to put Dodge in bad and
get the award.
Turner wanted to know If he look
ed like a man who would bite him
self when he heard the alibi OF the
Greek. He declared that Dodge had
worked in dirty style all through the
bout and that ne had become en-
ragged when he found his tactics use
less and had sunk his teeth into
Turner's wrist in an attempt to dis
able him.
When the referee announced his
decision giving the bout to Turner a
rush was made by the crowd of par
tisans for the platform and small
riot followed. The police. however,
were able to take care OF the crowd.
Dodge was hustled into carriage and
taken away form the furious throng
of his fellow countrymen. He kept
under cover last night
Some of the spectators were under
the impression that a lynching would
follow II Dodge had been caught ana
for awhile the excitement in the park
made it appear as IL the police re-
serves would be needed to restore
order.
For forty-two minutes the men
worked on the mat. 1t was rough
house match. At the start ii was
plain there was no love lost between
the men. Dodge would not stand

DANV1LLE. VA, Sept 2O.--At
joint meeting OF the Danville W. c. i.
u. and Roberts Memorial w. @. I.
u at the home of Mrs. l.. l.. Vann, the
question of the sale OF liquor on the
State fair grounds was discussed.
therefore 1t was unanimously decided
to make this appeal:
I'VE have learned with regret and
sorrow that the executive committee
of the State fair is inclined to allow
the sale Of intoxicating liquor on the
fair grounds we do must earnestly
appeal in the name of mother, chill
dren and good people OF our dearly
beloved State that this privilege be
not allowed, feeling II will not be
safe for women and children to at
tend the fair, and that our fathers,
husbands and boys will be tempted to
that which is sinful and wrong.
Knowing we are voicing the sentiment
of thousands OF good people through
out our grand old Communicable we
again beg OF the executive committee
to hear and consider our appeal
