Here is rest and cheer and comfort

WAYCROSS, May 23.-Talk
about the fighting male, but the de-
scription of the bout between himself
and fighting game rooster given
this morning by DR.. Paul Niece,
we'll known dentist, while in a local
barbershop for a few minutes dur
ing the morning, puts all previously
heard accounts into the background.
Dr.. MCGEE stated that he had been
raising chickens as a hobby for some
time and that during he pursuit of
this hobby there had come into his
possession a game rooster with the
disposition and hitting ability of a
Luis Firpo.
After the cockerel had spurred ev-
cry other inhabitant of the poultry
yard beyond endurance, he turned
his attention to his owner and mas
ter himself. Two or three times were
sufficient to convince the Doctor that
something must be done and done
quick. He took hack saw and sawed
the ROSTERS spurs off, the barnyard
champion submitting to this indignity
simply because he couldn't help him.
self.
DR.. Niece says that the next time
he went into the yard, the long re-
pressed desire for revenge which had
been eating like a hot coal in the
ROSTERS heart burst forth in an at
tack upon himself which is unparal-
leled in the local annals Of the manly
art. Whereas the rooster could not
spur, he kicked, says the doctor, and
by running and jumping at him,
he was able to plant number OF
heavy blows on the dentists Sims
causing blue spots which he bore Tor
days.
Stunned by this act Of insurbord-
nation, DR. MCGEE parried with MS
left foot which threw the cockerel
back several feet. The second round
was hardly less exciting and resulted
in casualties on both sides. 1t was
the third round when both combat
ants beginning, to weary of the stru,g-
gle that a strong uppercut from the
toe of the doctors shoe sent the
rooster groggily into the wire fence,
at which doctor counted him out
winning the bout.
