old Gunner, then not as good as he
used to be. but always dangerous,

Carl Morris, the Oklahoma engineer,
Was stu floating around, aud Dempsey
was matched with him, The giant from
Sapulpa was a mighty tough fellow, but
not a very pleasant spectacle in action.
Tie lacked what you might call finesse.

then hang his weight on his adVersarys
shoulders for awhile, lie was a most
dlscouraging person to fight,
