But those who came to know him
then were folk who quickly arrived
at the conclusion that there was
something very queer" about him;
that perhaps all was not quite so
well with him as far as perfect
mental balance was concerned.
For those were days when this
giant of the Argentine having built
himself shack which he called q
gymnasium, spent long hours each
day pounding away at sand bag
while neighbors and fellow work
men looked on in amazement and
wondered what it was all about.
FirpO didn't talk mucI1-even In
that era. But when he did talk,
the one sentence which he spoke
and ever afterward reiterated
seemed proof conclusive I'm the
minds Of the already suspicious
that something was out Of tune
In Luis FfrpO's head.
For all that he would say, in ex-
planning why he punched the bag
for hours at time, made long runs
nightly over the hills and down
into the bOslzy dells, and performed
shadow boxing stuff, was

day shall bring to the Argentine
the fighting championship OF the
world
They didn't believe Luis Firpo
then.
But they believe in him implicit
~, now.
They didn't believe much I'm Luis
when he made his first jaumt to
American shores more than q year
ago, for Luis had not done any
thing highly impressive in q ffBtic
way I'm South America. Only seven
folks were at the pier to say good
by to him.
When he returned last summer,
after bouncing a sundry collection
of third-rate Americans into the
arms Of Mrs. Morpheus, the Argens
tine went wild in it's acclaim. In a
frenzy of enthusiasm thousands
jammed their way to the steamship
pier to greet him.
And all the days which this one
time unknown youth spent here,

EPIDEEa.,oo OT GVA75
 KILL MANY SLED DOCS

An epidemic of gnats which killed thirty sled dogs within two weeks and tortured the men and animals almost to the point of endurance visited the Iditarod and Flat district the past summer, according to members of the Iditarod gold party which passed thru Seward recently. The army of gnats was the worst ever known. Before the danger was realized the dogs were literally smothered to death by breath ing the insects into their lungs. It IS said a number of the dogs fought the pests off and saved themselves, but others gave up and in few seconds were hidden by masses of the gnats
 The dogs were placed under cover and in underground tunnels. The peo- ple kept themselves free of the pests by burning insect powder and wear ing gloves and silk cloth headnets
