over last years activities were pro-
posed and it is hoped that the final
action of the Board of Directors upon
many OF these things will be favor
able. Work has already started on

Prospects for an excellent team look

of the wreck with but very slight
traces of any accident whatever. Will
liams suffered a black y and a
cut over the left temple. The escape
was nothing short of miraculous and
had it not been for the fact that the
car rested on high rocks at each end
the probability is that both boys
would have been killed or seriously
injured.
The roadster was badly smashed
up but considering that the fall was
nearly twenty feet and the moment
um at which the car must have been
going at the time it struck the bridge
the results of the wreck were slight.
Four-mile bridge has been the scene
of several accidents during the past
few years some of which have been
serious and others more of a minor
character. Plans of the State High
way Department, when carried out,
will eliminate the Curves on both
sides of the bridge in addition to do
ing away with a good part Of the
grade and the building of a real
bridge. At the present time the
bridge sits in such a position that
there are bad curve and grades on
both sides and the approaches are
in bad condition. Careful driving
on the part of ~autoists have kept the
percentage of accidents low bu it is

t%ablishing a better highway between

W lHoSc WHO saw MIN IN action On
Wednesday evening and he has the
backing of all in his coming fights.
There is no question that he is the
classiest boxer that has been seen in
these parts for a long time and he
W undoubtedly give any opponent
a hard battle to cope with him.
Cyclone" Kreiger won the de-
cfsion over pig Iron" Parker, both
of Denver, in their eight round 20.
1t was a smuggling match from start
to finish with Cyclone" a little the
better in ring generalship and de-
livery of punches. The fight was one
OF action from start to finish and
furnished the a n something to talk
about. Certainly it is unusual to see
two men who are so evenly matched
and who have the ability to absorb
punishment as these two did.
Mickey Stanton of Casper won the
decision over Battling Richie of
Rawlins in five rounds. Stanton was
the more aggressive and showed a
good deal more class than Richie.
Both men are fast and clever but
Stanton shows more real ability than
his opponent.
Billy Papake from Denver lost to
Kid Harris of Rawlins in the fifth
round through a technical knockout.
UP to the time that Papake fouled
with a kidney punch honors were
practically even. Harris carried the
fight to Papake for the first two
rounds but the latter was a little too
clever to be ~outgeneraled and show
ed considerable more ring experience.
Papake seemed to lack the force to
o out Harris even when he had
the opportunity n the same thing
seemed to trouble Harris. Both men
fought a good battle and gave the
fans some real excitement from start
to finish.
In the three-round curtain raiser
Battling" johnson of Rawlins lost
the decision to Mohatt. the Fighting
Newsboy of ParcO. Mohatt hit with
more accuracy and showed he was
master of the situation at all times.
about half the time although he car
ried the fight to the Newsboy most
OF the time.
Reviewing the whole card this box
ing exhibition was the best that has
been seen for a long time in these
parts and action featured the whole
program. Cyclone" Krieger of Den
Yer challenges any 1873 pound man in
the west and would like to meet him
in Parco. One of the bright spots
OF the evening was the formal pre-
sentation of a tar and finely polished
billy club to the Parco Constable l..
NJ. Johnston. He refused to make a
sneech but 1t is probable hat he
will act in case of necessity.

RURAL PHYSICIANS.
One of Big Modern Problems Is
Tackled in Grange.

One of the live topics of discussion
among grangers in many states Is
the serious rural situation arising
from the absence Of physician in
the country towns. 1t is getting so
that it is almost impossible to retain
a physician in the smaller COM
munities and the situation thus Gre
ated is serious one.
Town subsidies for country ply
sicians are being advocated in many
states and where this seems wise the
grange is taking the lead, not only in
securing township appropriation, but
oftentimes in soliciting funds to
make possible such a project. The
absence of a resident physician is
also rendering more necessary the
keeping open of roads during the
snow season and here again the
grange is leading in profitable dis
cussions and advocating such winter
| action.
