NO, the writers who persist in

stan would stop trying to hit shat

getting him in clinch. Then he'd
jockey that bird to the back OF

"The ring generally was on the

There was a drop curtain right

Stan would drag that fellow to that
spot he'd try to beat him down
with short punches in the clinch.

Ordinarily Douglas gets its breezes
from the southeast and the great

sented a spectacle when the change
of the wind took the many tumblers
and stacked them
The weeds lined the west side of
the long white fence of the big
railroad stock corrals as high as
four feet and were several feet
thick. Regiments of scurrying weeds
were to be seen rushing eastward
from the direction of Pirtleville and
looking like brown ghosts of arm
les. The weeds which grow thickly
in this district become loosened from
the soil in the fall and pile up in
every depression and ditch. Only
direct change in the breeze will dis

start to tumble they will travel
great distances until they come
