Hold Kayoed Fighter Up

When you see the boxer get a crack
on the jaw and pitch forward on his
face you can safely gather up your
hat and coat and prepare to depart.
1t generally is all over when they
fall that way.
That has been my experience, and
when I mentioned 1t to Johnny Coulon
the other night in the midst of a fan
ming bee, he said he often had thought
the same thing.
Johnny has knocked many a ono Of
them into the far side Of a ten count
and has had some quaint experiences
with them. But when they fall for
ward Johnny always tells his seconds
to cut the gloves OF and gather up the
bottles and buckets because it is time
to go home.
One Of the strangest knock-outs that
ever happened to Coulon came of on,
night in the ring at Windsor, Ont,
just across the river from Detroit,
where Billy Rocks hangs out as ref
cree and promoter. Johnny was box
ing a speedy young bantam named
Tommy Hudson and he had a pretty
reputation.
Johnny had as his guests that night
a number of White Sox ball players
and newspaper men who were with
the team. 1t was in the spring Of
1918 and Johnny was going pretty
good.
1t was a pretty fair battle up to the
fifth round. with Johnny holding a
safe lead. In the middle of the fifth
he slammed home as pretty a left
hook as you ever saw. following 1t
Immediately with . corking right to
the heart region.
Il looked as II the double punch had
done a lot Of damage and Hudson fell
into a tight clinch. Coulon wrestled a
bit to try and free himself from his
opponent's embrace, and then remark
ed to the referee:
This fellows holding me; make him
let CO."
Just then Coulon noticed something
he had not noticed before. 1t was the
remarkable fact that Hudson was lying
in his arms completely unconscious
Coulon Just laid Hudson down as gently
as he could and stepped back. The
referee finished 1t by counting Hudson
out.
He was out all the time and I was
holding him up" Coulon remarked in as
! tonishment to the referee when ne was
declared the winner.
It's the only case on record that ever
heard of where a fighter was completely
"out" and nobody noticed 1t for several
seconds.
Did YOU ever hear Of a fighter trying
to get down instead of up after getting
a knockout punch.
Well, here's a case in which fighter.
completely out, couldn't get to the mat
and had to be pushed over by his sec
onds before they could straighten him
out. It's another Coulon story.
1t happened in Johnny's second battle
with Jim Kenrick-not Kendrick. as the
record books have 1.-THE little British
star who was quite some pumpkins as a
miller Johnny got a ten-round decision
over him February 1s. 1910. and In March
of the same year got a twenty-round
battle with him. also in New Orleans.
Kenrick proved to be the gamest OF the
game. 1t was fairly even for ten rounds.
and then Coulon began to win by a wide
margin. The bell saved the Briton In the
seventeenth and again in the eighteenth,
and 1t looked as II he couldn't possibly
come up for the nineteenth
But he did and started to battle along:
But early In the round Johnny hooked
him q corker with his left and down

went Jim. He fell forward. and with his
midsection elevated in the air started to
plow along the ring with his face on the
canvas. He kept pushing himself along
with his feet with an ordinary walking
motion, but for the life of him he could
neither go down completely nor get his
head OF the floor. He just kept plowins
along like a clown acrobat while the
referee was counting him eat He was
still in that predicament when his sec
onds burst into the ring and rescued
him.
He was all right directly and straight
ened out. He wanted to continue the
battle. not knowing he had failed to beat
the count.

S. D. WeStfdII Dies
Sunday Morning
Respected Citizen Passes Away at
Eighty Three Years of Age; Burial
Tuesday Afternoon

Samuel Dewitt Westfall, one of
Redwood Falls oldest and most re-
spected residents, died at his home
here early Sunday morning. Funeral
services were held at the home Tues
ray afternoon at three o'clock, Rev.
VIM. Jobusch reading the service. In
terment was made in the local GENE
terry. J. Colville, C. Beer, D. Nc
Lean, o. S. Mason, H. Roy and A. D.
Smith acted as pallbearers.
Mr.. Westfall, who was nearly
eighty-three years old, was born at
Milford, Pike County, Pa, December
4, 1882, and moved, while still
small child, to Wayne County, New
York. He was graduate of Hamil-
ton College, Clinton, New York, and
also a graduate of the Auburn Theo-
logical Seminary.
After completing his courses of
study, Mr.. Westfall tutored for a
time at Hamilton College and later
accepted the pastorate of the Pres
byterian Church at Airport, New
York, where. he served until 1869.
Then he came to Redwood Falls as
a missionary to the Indians with
whom he worked faithfully for few
years of the troubled time following
the Indian outbreak and did master
| ly work with them. In 1872 Mr.
Westfall moved to Fremont, Mimi,
where he was pastor of the Presby-
terrain Church until 1885 when he re-
| tired from active ministerial work
and moved to a farm in Redwood
County, later moving to Redwood
Falls where he lived until his death.
In 1875 Mr.. Westfall was united in
marriage to Gertrude Smith at Elm
Lake, Wis, and to them four chill
dren were born all of whom survive
their father. They are Mrs. Jones
of Knife River, Mimi, Mrs. Maurer
of Gaylord, Mimi, Mrs. Markham of
Beaver Dam, Wis, and E. F. West
fall of Minneapolis. The children
came to Redwood Falls several days
ago and with their mother, were with
4 Mr.. Westfall at the time of his death.
Mr.. Westfall's death closes long
life of usefulness both as minister
in the Presbyterian Church and as a
private citizen. A student and a
thinker Mr.. Westfall was most sue
cessful IN his pulpit work. In his
life as citizen and in his family he
was unassuming, unaggressive and
Ipossassive of sterling qualities of mar
acter which made him greatly re-
spected by all his associates and loved
by all his friends.

{. {. Wymore Hurt
In Auto Accident
Pinned Under Car for Sometime be-
fore Discoveries; Injuries
Not Permanent

c. c. Wymore, living west of Red
wood Falls, was the victim of an au-
tomobile accident last Wednesday
night for which he was apparently in
no sense responsible. Mr.. Wymore
was returning from Redwood Falls
in the evening when his car, which
is light one, was run into and over
turned by large car which was trav-
cling at a high speed. The larger
car was not injured by the contact
apparently and kept on it's way with
out making any inquiries as to Mr..
Wymore's condition or the injuries
inflicted upon his car.
D. Lyman and F. C. Evans came
upon the upturned car about twenty
minutes after the accident occurred,
and upon investigating found Mr..
Wymore pinned beneath the car and
suffering severe pain. He was so fast
ened down by the seat that it was
impossible for him to extricate him
self. The young men lifted the car
from him and obtained surgical aid
at once. He had sustained three
broken ribs, severe cut on the head
and badly twisted back. While
able to be about, Mr.. Wymore is still
very lame and suffers from dizziness.

Dairy Expert May
Work In Redwood
A. ID. Stewart Starts Machinery
Working to Obtain Federal
Worker to Come Here

Through the efforts of A. D. Stew
art, julius A. Schmahl and Congress
man Ellsworth, Redwood County will
probably be given the services of
dairy expert employed by the federal
government, who will make Redwood
Falls his headquarters and spend
few years in developing the dairy in
terests of the county and vicinity.
While at Mora last week Mr.. Stew
art became interested in the dairy
development work done by w. B.
Thurston who was just completing
three years worth there. With the
assistance Of Mr.. Schmahl, Mr.. Stew
art got in touch with Washington Of
ficials with the result that Mr.. Thurs
ton will come to Redwood Falls and
look over the field and if he finds
his services needed, will locate here.
Congressman Ellsworth, in a let
ter to Mr.. Schmahl says in part:
81 have called upon Mr.. S. G..
Thompson, who is in charge Of the
dairy manufacturing investigation of
the Agricultural Department, in ref
erence to the proposed transfer of
w. B. Thurston.
"Mr. Thompson advises me that
Thurston will now be called in to
make up his report Of the work at
Mora, after which he is to do certain
field work in Pennsylvania, all of
which will occupy about two months,
or possibly three, and that after that
time he will get in touch with Mr..
Farrell, the Dairy Commissioner for
the State, and will have Thurston
go to Redwood Falls personally and
look over the field as a proper one
for his establishment there under the
Dairy Department.
Mr. Thurston has spent the past
three years at Mora and his work
has been most satisfactory and help
full to the residents of Kanabec Coun-
ty. His Redwood County residence
would be probably of about the same
duration.
