BULL MAN;
LEFT ARM BROKEN
Sebald, Askov Farmer.
Has A Thrilling
Experience.

c. Sebald narrowly escaped fa-
tai injuries Monday morning at
the Askov stock yard. He had
led his bull from the farm to
the stock yard to be shipped.
When he arrived at the gate he
had to wait a few minutes as
some cows we're being loaded.
The bull wanted TO go with the
other cattle into the car but was
held back by Mr.. Sebald who had
a stick attached to the ring in
its nose. Suddenly the animal
broke the stick and with head
down Owed into Mr.. Sebald lift
ing him up and throwing him on
the ground. Mr.. Sebald landed
on his back and the enraged ami
NAL continued its pursuit break
ing Mr.. Sebald's left arm just be-
low the elbow and bruising him
about the body. Men near at
hand used clubs on the animal
but it paid no attention TO this;
the fight was over. however.
when one man got hold Of the
ring in the bulls nose and others
carried Mr.. Sebald into the lum-
Der yard office; his wounds were
dressed and he is able to be
around again. The bull was
shipped to the St. Paul market
and his days are evidently over
by this time.

BUSY BUILDING
TELEPHONE LINES
Telephone Company
Making Good Progress
With Work.

The long looked-for local tele-
phone exchange in Askov now
looks like a go after three or four
attempts during the past several
years. Past attempts and fail
ures have been due to several
causes-before and after war. the
fact that large telephone COM
panies have been reluctant
about installing exchanges in
smaller communities and so on.
A. M. De Young. manager of
the Askov Telephone Company.
who is building the local line,
seems to be going after the work
in good fashion and with deter
mination. With the assistance of
Lawrence Jensen he has been
putting up poles in the village
the past few weeks and now has
the village part of the system
practically all ready for the
stringing of wires. 1t is sturdy
and durable construction. The
telephone poles erected on the
rural lines by N. c. Roos of Fin
layson, about 3 years ago, have
been purchased by the Askov
Telephone Company and the
men are now busy placing cross
arms on same.
The working crew will be aug
mented by the addition of Ed
Morrell of Elmwood, Wis, an *
pert construction man and
Lawrence De Young of Baldwin,
Wis, another construction man
and a brother of the manager.
These men are expected to arrive
today or tomorrow.
The telephone central is to be
over the c. Eriksen Co. general
store which makes il very con-
venient for the public, being
right on Main street with a front
entrance. The switchboard as
well as many of the instruments
have already arrived.
Mr.. De Young will send out
cards TO prospective subscribers
one of the first days. Those who
want phones are requested to
sign and return the cards by
mail. For years there has been
more or less complaint on account
of not having a telephone *
change at Askov and now that it
is coming let everybody boost and
help the good thing along. Be
in returning the signed
cards to the Askov Telephone
so that there may be
no delay in getting your phone
and thus also help the manage
ment in knowing just where the
phones are wanted and how
many.

TANNING WITH FARRELL

six rounds and then he stepped out
and, won by a knockout in the 18th
round.
The reaction from that fight
was that if the slow, trial horse
Brennan could go 10 rounds with
the champion that the clever, spec
tacular Carpenter, with one
punch knockout in his right hand,
would have a good chance to win.
Dempsey-Carpentier fight was
the result and it established a rec
ord for receipts that may never be
equalled.
After his victory over the
Frenchman, Dempsey went back in
to the "too good" class and he
could find no work. New York
was the only logical place to stage
heavyweight championship fight
and the commission in New York
stopped every attempt to stage q
title bout.
Then came the fight with Glib
bons and Dempsey looked bad
again. Sentiment switched over
and it was figured that if q light
heavyweight could stand up for l.
rounds against the mauler, that
Dempsey was not the super-man.
This reference is not based upor
any facts. 1t is merely Il theory
and is worth only that.
1t is just Il logical and reasonable
| to figure that an absence of two
years from the ring threw Demp
sey off his timing and his judgment
of distance and that he was JUS
; RUSTY from lack Of usage.

WOMAN TEN MS

AGAIN IN TOWN
By HENRY L. FARRELL,

NEW YORK, August 7.-Cham-
pions have found the going so
rough during the current sport sea-
son it might be expected for gen
cral reasons that Mrs. Molla Nal
lory Will have the handicap of at
least q mental hazard when she
defends her tennis title at Forest
Hills next week.
The game of the American cham
pion in early season tournaments
caused it to be believed that she
would have more to bother Ler than
the realization that this year has
no respect for champions.
She was defeated 50 many times
by the foreign stars that her reign
rs the lcaderlof the American game
was thought to have reached the
end, and the experts began to
hunt around for the new champion
Miss Helen Wills, the II year old
California girl, has been a prospect.
i've champion for three years, and
the only question has been how
soon her day would arrive. She
WAS considered the best of the
American prospects.
When the team of British stars
announced their intention. of com
ing over to play q special match
with the Americans, and to engage
in the national championships, two
more likely candidates were added
in the persons of Mis- Kathleen Me
Kane, the ranking player Of Eng
land, and Mrs. Geraldine Beamish
both of whom had defeated tho
American champion.
In the warm up tournaments fol
the national championship Mrs
Mallory, however, seems to have
gotten back on her game. At Sea
bright she scored a rather convinc
iyg victory over Miss McKane and
later at Rye, in the final for the
New York state championship, she
defeated Miss Wills in mattel
in which the California girl wol
the first set.

NEW YORK, Aug. Many ring
titles have exchanged owners so far
this year and perhaps some more
champions will be displaced before
the January blasts arrive, but two
division leaders, Jack Dempsey and
Benny Leonard, look secure ON their
thrones at this writing.
Dempsey has two fights in the
making, with Luis Firpo and Harry
Wills and, although he may have
n hard fight in each bout, he
ought to come out of them with his
title.
The heavyweight champion S
fight with Tom Gibbons in Shelby
can be almost ignored in figuring
Dempsey s chance in his next fights
if too much time does not elapse.
There is no doubt that the cham
pion looked bad and very bad
against Gibbons, but there are two
ways to explain it:
Dempsey purposely carried Glib
bons 10 rounds, or
Dempsey was off form, due to his
long absence from the ring.
Once before the Shelby fight
Dempsey was in the position of be
ing forced practically into rctire-
ment because SO much sentiment
existed that he was too good for
any of the contenders for the title
and that it would be a runaway fot
him to defend his title.
Then came the fight with Bill
Brennan in Madison Square Gar
den. Dempsey looked terrible. foI
