A Hsliucination or Effects
From Poor Moon" Which


Publisher Tribune:
The Blanchardville Blade of last week
gave false credit to their "Gink Fowl
er, Rodney Rice, for a Knockout in
the boxing match staged at Hollandale
on the 18th of March The article also
stated that their Rodney has mastered
the science of boxing and is a coming
champion. Think of it III bet Tex
Richard doesn't know anything about
him
This article is merely comment on
both fighters by man who knows box
ing and is neutral as far as the contest
is concerned, but who happened to be
at the so called match, In the first
place Tonkins of Mineral Point, Rice's
/ opponent, was not knocked out. That
i statement was nice dream of one who
lost his bet on awtully poor Judgment
I ADD bum fighter TO sec Rodney get
| in the ring, one would think he was
trying to hold down position in
nickel and dime vaudeville act. Back
in the stone ages he would have looked
pretty fair on the side lines. Insofar
as science is concerned. there was never
a dictionary printed containing that
word with the definition meaning any
thing near what Rice had In short,
this boy Rice will never make fighter
even if he trains all of his life
and he lives as long as the Capital will
be at Washington. Young Tonkin al
most knocked him for row of Chinese
pagodas and three miles of railroad
ticket in the first and second rounds
and in the third round he fouled Ton
kin in the way of hitting him when he
wasn't on his feet but for clean fight
ing Tonkin had him outclassed in that
round also.
II would take at least two like young
Rice to give Tonkin even a slight thrill,
and then to come out in c newspaper
claiming Knockout for boxer who
showed no science and very little
strength, and that his opponent was
MUCH heavier (3t pounds only is the
limit of misrepresentation. That's a
hallucinaton or the effects from drink

AFTER CLOUDS CLEAR AWAY,

Ii was not political election Dy any
means, but evidently a genuine free
for-all. 1t is reported that some girls
not Of age voted, and maybe some boys,
also that wives of men who are not full
fiedged American citizens voted, and
that some who appeared on the street
the day before election voted by letter
on account of feebleness or illness and
without physicians certificate, as re-
auired by law, etc, etc, and added to
this by no means pleasant aspect is
the claim that a like procedure was
INDUCED in at the last and preceding
municipal elections. If the reports Of
such proceedings are anywhere near
correct, tbs pity, tbs furnishing. To
get so far away from what il lawful,
what is honorable and good citizenship
would spell anything but fright"

THE CITY ELECTION

Both Men and Women Voters
LARGE VOTE Ql74) THE RESULT
First Ward 1913
Second Ward All
Third Ward 100
Fourth Ward 224

Tuesdays's election of city officials
had its peculiarities. Several candi-
dates those for Mayor, Treasurer, At
torney, Assessor and Supervisors had
no opposition. But there was heated
contest for City Clerk, Marshal, Alder
men and Members of the School Board,
which accounts for the vote being as
large as it was.
The battle is over and the victors are
feeling pretty comfortable, while some
of the defeated are disgruntled because
of the inglorious tactics Gas they view
it, of their opponents and those sup
porting them. If anyone is guilty
thereof, it's to their discredit. A manly
contest is grand contest, and the
loser invariably hale fellow well met
and ready with the hand of congratula-
tons It's to be regretted there was
not more of 'the office seeking the
man. 1t is believed that every man
elected is competent. and it is up to
him to prove himself worthy of the
favor bestowed never forget he is a
public servant, and owes to our citizens
his best efforts for their welfare. Vic
