Another constitutioal right has been assailed. Representative Fite has ir- troduced a bill to prohibit hogs and goats from running wild in Jefferson county.
 It is the inherent right of goats and hogs to run wild. Indeed, the express sion "hog-wild" has become a classic.
 The automobile has become boon to the owner of wild goats and hogs. An automobile can run over a three- dollar razorback and in one minute make it worth fifty dollars.
 How can any friend of the people vote to halt an industry so profitable?

NOW this fight in Buffalo which
drew me that suspension by Mr..

get at, chiefly because he wouldn't

the ring throughout the bout and
piled up enough points to earn de-
cis.on over five opponents. l couldn't
kick the boy. 1t wasn't my fault that
the bout was not knock down and

Walker looks TO be improving all
the time. His last bout-against Pete
LatZo-who Is by no means a second
rater, showed that. With LatZo out
of the way the chief rival for Walker
is Dave Shade, and Dave does not
figure out as much rival as he
once was. Shade has to work to make
weight for the welter class and that
means a certain weakness as COM
pared with a man like Walker, who
Ats into the class naturally.

should reverse himself on the Kill
