gradually been overcome to a point
where the light may be seen out in

ties, and many of them remain yet
to hamper and retard natural growth.
When means were being devised
some years ago In our legislature to
remove distractions and open new
paths, conflicting interests were at

The wisdom and foresight OF many
able men. brought up in the oil in
dustry, were available. but. as noted
above clashlng interests. in inability
to "get together" spoiled the pud-
ding and, as a consequence, the in
dustry suffered and many individuals
engaged in it came In for their share
of the untoward times and condt-

as seem logically to demand our et-

Accounts of the bout state that Atteii bled in a stream from nose and mouth besides a cut on his cheek.

When blow did slip through his guard he always managed to escape its sting by nov ing his head with the punch.
 However it is probable that the ex- planation for his immunity from ser- ious harm was that he seldom sought to do much damage to his opponents and devoted most of his attention to defensive operations.
