Chairman Jesse Jones announced
that the KFC had agreed to buy $5,-
100000 of Knoxville, Tenn, revenue
bonds to enable the city to acquire
the Knox county distributing system
of the tennessee Public Service Com
pany. The city will use IVA power.
Jones said Knoxville expected to

He added that while there has been
no other formal application to the
RFC for such financing, inquiries
had been received from the North

might be expected from the vicinity
of the Bonneville, Grand Coulee and
Fort Peck dams. An RFC agent al

PWA projects in Nebraska buy out
the major utilities in the State was
eligible for RFC financing. The deal
would involve $100,000,000.
While the RFC was willing to CO.

At Philadelphia

Philadelphia, June 28.(AP)-Crown
Prince Gustav Adolf of Sweden, de-

sey.

albuquerque, N. NJ, June % (AP)-
Searchers moved through the tangled
underbrush at the base of north
Sandia peak today in a broadened
hunt for Medill Mccormick, Chicago
publishing heir lost on a climbing
expedition.
Virtually abandoning the belief that
the youth might be lodged on the
steep face of the peak, the searchers
prepared to scour the brushy terrain
below the ledge, on which the body of
his companion, Richard Whitmer, was
found last Thursday.
They were working on the theory
that young Mccormick gained the
foot of the peaks sheer face with
little or no injury, but was killed, lost
or severely hurt in the lower country
while trying to reach help for his
companion.

London, June % (AP)-The Ouch
ess of Atholl today gave details of
what she said were guns threatening
Gibraltar" from insurgent Spain, and
issued notice she would ask Prize
Minister Chamberlain in the House OF
Commons tomorrow what he intends
to do about them.
The duchess recently rebelled from
Conservative ranks and has been a
frequent government critic. n.
The question of such guns, alleged
ly of German manufacture, has been
raised repeatedly during the Spanish
civil war. The government has taken
the position generally that they are
not a threat to Gibraltar, Britain's
fortress at the western entrance to
the Mediterranean.
The duchess enumerated guns in
greater detail than any previous
list. She cited:
More than 20 guns in hills around
insurgent-held Albeciras, including
three pieces of more than ten inches.
A number of long range 5.9-inch
guns and several howitzers $50 placed
that they could drop shells in Gibrai-
tar, but yet are invisible from the

Nine naval type guns of about four
inches on Punta Carnero.
At least one 15-inch gun on a high
peak almost 81 miles inland.
About As guns ranging from six to

sports of the inhabitants of Birming-
ham until 1773, in which year the
practice was discontinued. AS might
be expected, the historical city of
Bristol was an important bull-baiting
center and had its Bull-ring, and this
ring was situated at the exact spot
where now stands St. Jude's Church.
Mr.. Palmer, whose forefathers for
three generations had workshops
abutting this old ring, has interesting
tales to tell-tales that have been
handed down from father to son.
one of which is that during a batting
idlers would stand in pairs, outside
the ring, one on each side of the
length of sacking, on which they
would try and catch the dogs tossed
by the bull. A terrible accident hap
pened at the Bankside Bear Gardens,
London on Sunday, January 10, 1888.
by the fall of a platform that had
been overloaded during bull-baiting.
The Puritans and the fanatical writ
ers of the day represented the disas-
ter as judgment from heaven be-
cause the exhibition took place on a
Sunday. In deed that the Puritanical
was not universally held is proved
from an anecdote recorded by Sir
Thomas Moor, further proof of the
cid adage. "The better the day the
better the deed".
This will be continued next week.

cession to the throne, the Queen gave
a splendid dinner to the French AM
bassadors, who were afterward en-
tertained with an exhibition of bull
batting. When Elizabeth paid her his
torical visit to Kenilworth in July,
1875, the round of amusements and
diversions planned included a day de-
voted to bull-baiting. There is on
record the will of one George Staver-
ton, dated May Is, 1861, by which he
left property to buy bull annually
forever, which he gave to the people
of the town of Nottingham, in Berk-
shire, to be there baited, the money
collected from the spectators to be
laid out in shoes and stockings for
poor children. Staverton had been
once chased by a bull, and he made
this will as revenge.
A large open space in the oldest
part of Birmingham and under the
walls of it's ancient parish church,
bears the name of the bull ring. Hut
ton, in his History of Birmingham;
states that one John Cooper, in the
reign of Henry VIII; about 1880, for
some service rendered to the Lord of
the manor obtained two privileges
one the right to batting bull in the
bull-ring whenever he pleased, and
the other the right to burial in the
porch of st. Martins Church. Bull
batting was one of the most popular

DOGGIE DOINGS
BY M. G. DENLINGER

Before going into the following
history of Bull-baiting, l believe
some explanation is due the layman.
In ancient days dog somewhat re-
sembling in type the English Bulldog
Of today, was used to through bulls
in England. The dog would attach
itself to the nose of the bull, and if
successful in holding on, eventually
the bull would go down where it not
for the particular construction of the
bulldogs body, being heavy in the
fore-quarters, and light in the hind
parts; the thrashing of the bulls head
would have broken the dogs back.
BULL-BAITING
Its Origin And History
Capt. Berger-Wheeler said that
Bull-baiting was undoubtedly respon-
Esible for the bulldog being termed the
National" breed of England; the
sport of bullbaiting having been a
national pastime in England for
over 600 years, the bulldog being
specially bred to play it's part in this
sport. Dealing with the origin of
bull-baiting, he said, "the training of
bulls, and bears for the purpose of
batting them with dogs was certainly
practiced by the jugglers who were
introduced into England by her Nor
man conquerors, and the bull, special
ly, owing to the regularity of it
mode of combat, caused bull-baiting
to become an attractive sport from a
very early period, for which a dis
tinct breed of dogs were exclusively
kept. After the wild oxen of the
woods were destroyed, the practice
was introduced as early as the reign
of King John of batting the domesti-
Gated bull, and thus the breed of
dogs suited to this end was preserved
land cultivated, with increased care up
TO our times.
In the reign Of John (1209) we
find from the Survey of Stamford"
that the then Earl of Surrey, who
was also Lord of Stanford, introduced
bull-baiting into the latter town, and
gave the Castle Meadows as a common
for the continuance of the sport. At
Guildford, in Surry, under the sane
ton of the corporation, as early at
least as Edward Ill, (132O, bull
batting was provided for the popul-
ace, and every person on becoming a
member of the corporation had to
provide a bull to be baited. Bull
batting was an annual custom at
Tutbury, in Staffordshire, continu
ously from 1874 to 1778; in the latter
year the Duke of Devonshire, Lord Of
the Manor of Tutbury, succeeded il
abolishing the custom. In the time
of the Tudor Sovereigns, and in
Charles LIST and ends reigns, the ma
tional sport of bull-baiting received
warm Royal support. Queen Elizabeth
was very fond of making exhibitions
of bull-baiting a special form of en-.
tertainment to foreign visitors. On
May 25th, 1859, soon after her &C
