Luther MeCarty's victory has made the
residents of Arcadia, 30 miles north, OF
Indianapolis, much interested in the box
ing game. McCarty's relatives are well
known there, his father being born and
raised on a farm three miles from the
town, a place still known as the McCar-
tvs farm. As they say in Arcadia, ii is
interesting to know that small Gene
terry near the McCarty farm is known as
McCarty Graveyard, and an Arcadia fight
bug has suggested that Luther secure a
rabbits foot from this graveyard during
the year 1919 He said the rabbits foot
would forever keep the ink off Luther.
Luther's relatives were all large and mus
them were we'll known around the coun-
ty for their strength and agility. Luz
theirs father Aaron, as a young man, was
over six feet in height and was known
as the great jumper. He is still jump
ing. He was also known as one of the
most miscellaneous young men in the
nefghborhood, but was not quarrelsome
and was never known to do much fight
ing. Aaron. like his son Luther, has been
of very rowing disposition jumping
from place to place He left here and
went TO Nebraska. where Luther was
born, over 20 years ago. and has been
going over the country great deal since
that time. 1t is also interesting, says the
bug, to know that Joseph McCarty, Luz
theirs grandfather, and John McCarty,
his uncle, were Dunkard ministers. They
were also very powerful men.
