A DIRTY SLAM

The Farmerine last issue took a
dirty slam at Nels Moe. The slam
was uncalled for, unsportsmanlike
and a good index to the depraved
character of the writer. It NAV be
brave to kick a down man. If it is,
then the Farmerine publishers are
heroes. To say that Moe would lay
down is silly what earthly reason
would Moe have to lay down and give
up the match. the money and the
good will of the crowd unless he was
actually put out of commission. The
paper was so anxious to be dirty anC
untruthful, that in mentioning Nels
Moe, that rag said, call the Noes are
yellow" There are a number OF
Noes and families of Noes, most Of
whom are neither boxers or wrestlers
