The Day in Davenport

The contract was made out sub
)ect to the approval OF the heads
OF the firm at Davenport. Two
sacks Of the bulbs were to be
shipped at once by rail.
The contract is said to have
specified large, red onions. When
the lilaceous cargo arrived, the on
ions, 1t is alleged. were frozen and
had an anaemic pallor that made
them look as if they had lost their
appetite for making an honest liy-
ing.

fight for life was lost yesterday
morning when Stanley George

who was counted one of the most
brilliant and popular students at
the Davenport high school, was
stricken with influenza a little over
a week ago. He was taken to Mercy
hospital Wednesday night of last
week. For the past few days his
life hung in the balance and We'd

ed that as last resort a transfu-
sion of blood might save him. His
brother. Fred. offered himself for
the operation which took place at
O'Clock Wednesday afternoon. An
! other TRANSMISSION was made at $50

 AUSTRALIANS MAKE GOOD
 It is quite singular that where the majority of English pugilists who have invaded this country have come to grief the Australians usually have accomp- lished great deeds while in the L. S. A. and many have risen to championship heights
 Will Edwards prove au exception-or will Edwards travel along the trail that was blazed by so many of his illustrious fellow countrymen of years gone by?
 Bob Fitzsmmons is the outstanding Australian. He came to this country a comparative unknown. In a short time he had battled his way through the midd4ew weight ranks to a point where he was ranked as worthy of fight with Jack Dempsey, the 'Nonpareil.' ' He defeated Dempsey when he won the championship and later he knocked out Peter Maher. winning the light Heavyweight championship And in 1897 he climaxed his achievement by defeating me in Carson City and becom- ing the holder at one time of the mid

dleweight. the light heavyweight and inc heavyW eight titles.
 Young Griffo was another man from tEe Antipodes who accomplished -nlar- vicious deeds in this country. Frank Slavin. one of the most remarkable rirs warriors came from Maitland, New south Wales Dan Creedan was T New Zeelander. Jim Hall came from Syd- ney.
 PETER JACKSON
 And then there was Peter Jackson, who. although born in the West Indies, regarded Australia as his home. It was in Sydney and Melbourne that Jackson first gained fame. His splendid work in those cities earned him in ternational reputation and when he came to this country he was ranged as a potential king of pugilism.
 Joe Goddard. who was prominent in the ring from 1889 until 1900 was an ether Australian. Billy Murphy, holder of the featherweight title. was born ir the Atipodes Arthur Cripps middle weight champion of Australia. gained considerable fame in this country. George Dawson. a lightweight who fought such men as Jim Burge. Billy Gallagher. Dick Meade and Tommy O'BrieH was an Australian.
 Those who are only few of the Aus tralians who came to these shores and gathered fame. glory and riches for themselves No Australian ever came to this country who did not make a certain success of his visit. Luck al ways. seems to have favored them.
