4 Tale of TWO Fists
THE LIFE STORY OF JACK DEMPSEY
Z MnMla Y pAMoN RUNYoN - -

| fights in Cripple Creek then, but Jack
Dempsey couldn't get any more en-
gagements in that line. The wonder
is Morgan didn't fight him himself.
From Cripple Creek Dempsey vent
down to Pueblo, and In Pueblo he
shipped with a gang Of men for Upton,
Utah. TO work on a railroad grade.
II used to be-and maybe il is 70
this ~day-quite an idea to ship out
in hat fashion through the medium Of
ar employment agency, either TO really
work or just to get further along in
/ the direction one Glanced TO be going.
Dempsey shipped on this occasion
under the inspiration OF a desire TO
work, but n few days on the grade at
Upton cured him. He sat down with
a companion one afternoon to think
the matter over. Dempsey didn't know
it at the moment, but he had turned
Bolshevik.
Along came the boss,
What's the matter with you guys?'
he demanded heatedly. why amt you
worKing?"
We We resigned" they announced.
"Yeh?' said the boss a trifle queru-
lousy. We'll, no WORK. no eat"
One word led to additional words.
Dempsey and his pal arose as if to
take their departure,
TN show you buns something"
said the boss.
Bang! Down went Dempsey's pal.
The boss could hit.
Bang! Down went the boss. Demp-
sey also could hit.
Then Dempsey and his partner legged
1t down the rail- a track, and in their
ears rOared the sound of organized pur-
suit. The boss had come to in time
to get a pick handle brigade started
before Jack n his friend got out OF
sight.
Over and under freight cars. and
bitches, n across the open fields the
chase went. Jack a faster than his
friend,
Il looked back just in time to see
him go down." says Dempsey. Many
q guy was on top of him. oh, many
a u l hid out and they didn't find
me-
That night he drifted into town seek
ing a chance to get away from those
parts for good and all, and the first
man he bumped into was the sheriff.
Now I've got youv' said the Off
cial. You're the guy VINO almost killed
that railroad foreman this afternoon.
Maybe he's going to die yet, for all l
know
Jacks protestation that he had acted
in self-defense, and the further fact
that the railroad boss showed up, high
ly infuriated, ard considerably mussed,
but nowhere near dead, kept the sher-
III from failing our hero.
But you be here at 8 o'clock in the
morning!' he warned.
Long before that fateful hour J.
Dempsey was securely ~ensconced in an
empty box car, bound for COLORADO.
Il saw my friend Just before l left"
says Dempsey. Il mean the bird who
was with me when the jam-with the
boss started. | think they had just
let him out OF the hospital. Say, l never
saw a guy so bunged up in my whole
life. He was a mess, That's all he
was-a mess. There isn't anything
they hadn't done to him.
"Ah, say" adds Dempsey, Il don't
go anywhere near that Upton, Utah,
any more. | wouldn't go there again
on a bet. Maybe that boss Is still
hanging around there, and l don't wan
anything to do with him. No, sir"

strictly to business, but when he
does is capable of giving opposing

declares that n continuation of hostili-

possible to give up fighting as enemies
are attacking or all sides.
