been apaased upsto the United States

It. 10 said that. the law as passed by
Nonpartisan legislature provides
after the enactment OF the seed

farm loans must be the first lien and
will not do business in North Dakota
until the matter Is Strengthened out.

GUSSIE LEWIS
HOLDS TUOHEY
TO EVEN BREAK
kensington Boy Fights Well
Against Veteran Boxer.
Knockout for Bowinkle

There was big crowd at the Cambria
last night and from the noise it was
more than apparent that every rooter
made the trip for the main purpose of
seeing Gussie Lewis take the count.
Because Lewis crossed the gathering.
fought a good fight and had Tuohey
showing his best all the time, the gath
cring was disappointed and handed Gus
sic a wonderful verbal lacng.
Lewis forgot most of his holding act
and surprised by doing some good work
at infighting. He gave Tuohey a nice
lacing around THE body and often sent
some cutting jabs to the head.
Joe Bowinkle, a sailor from Cape May,
proved that he was no false alarm He
fought like a veteran and pounded
Jimmy Carol so hard that his opponent
was a ready target for a right swing
to the Jaw Carroll took one on the
chin in the second round and passed
out.
Another knockout was put on in the
third act. Bobby Hawkins, apparently
a loser for three rounds, crossed right
to the temple and put Paddy Coyle
away for the evening Up until the
time the decisive blow was landed Coyle
was well in the lead.
In the other bouts Terry Hanlon beat
Marty Campbell and Joe Langdon drew
with Nell Brown.
