their fishing expedition on Saturday.

bass, and many have since enjoyed
the eating of these fine fish.
The fremen gave a smoker on
Saturday night that was attended
by a crowded house. There were
eats and drinks plenty, with lot
of side attractions. These included
, several wrestling bouts, boxing
matches story telling, comic songs,
and violin playing. Possibly the
most interesting feature was the
boxing bout between George Ken
nedy and "Jedge' Medley. For
! three rounds there was excitement
and fun. The friends of youthful
! George contemplated a knock out in
the first round, but they overlooked
the fact that the "Jedge" had been
under training for a week prior TO
the big event, and contemplated
settling few scores on his own
: account. Some heavy shots were
sent out on both sides, but the side
stepping seemed to be good and no
particular injury was done. The
third round continued indefinitely
and when both parties were tired
out the contest was allowed to end
: and was declared a draw.
