Leads Expedition to Rescue | !
 Pet Dog Lost in Mountains

LANDISBURG, Pa, Feb. 10.-Roy Dewalt, refusing to believe his fox terrier "Spunky" is dead, is leading new expedition to the icy ridges of Tuscarona Mountain to try and find out what happened to the terrier, imprisoned in a rock pocket for three weeks. G
 A volunteer crew of farmers s tramped through the snow to say the one-eyed dog had fallen silent after days of spirited barking at their calls, and that they believed him dead.
 Dewalt said he was going out to Rocky Ledge, IA miles from here, to satisfy myself there is no hope.H
 He advanced a new theory that Spunky might be ill somewhere in the recesses of the cavern and might be just too weak to bark"

Twice Tow Stroked his way to
the helpless pair, once with life
preServers and then back to shore
again and out once more with a
rope to pull them in.
Back in Alexandria, he col
lapsed and was forced to go to
the hospital, as a result of the
exertion involved in that rescue.
Apparently he pulled a tendon,
for when he was able to leave the
hospital, he found himself still
lame and it was then he sought
the treatment of an osteopath.
Should Tow come around event
ually, he will be taken in hand by

kin has unlimited confidence in
Bob'S future as a fighter and be-
lieves it is not too late to start all

Despite his active ring career,
Tow has never taken a severe

action under the guidance of
Raskin, provided he effects a COM
plete recovery from his present

tomorrow night at Duffy Sta

with q picked group from Rich
mond beginning at $3.50 o'clock.
Eleven bouts, followed by a battle
royal, are scheduled.
Sponsored by the Seat Pleasant,

show promises to be one of the
best amateur exhibitions ever
presented in this vicinity. Rich
mond boasts four champions, two
State and two National Guard,
while Washington's entry has

Outstanding match of the eve

1t is something of a grudge
match, inasmuch as Turner
