the two couuties that have SO much
in common from business point Of

Ing events will be required to decide
a winner in the mat contests that are
to be staged tonight at the Eagle
Woodman hall Three wrestling
events and little variety in the way
OF a boxing mill will be offered to the
fans The preliminaries start at S:l5.
Ray McCarroll and Babe Wilson
are the headliners on the bill. McCar-
rol needs no introduction to Pendleton

who claims Boise as his abiding place,
The possibility that the visitor is
sneaking into town with the idea of
treating Ray rough has caused some
interest In the affair.
Coll Gardan and Ben jackson are
light heavies who will mix in u go.
They are Washington men who have
had considerable experience on the
