Kid Burns and Carl Martin both of
Portland, ' for a headliner. Crook
County Post, No. 29, American Le
gion, will stage a boxing smoker on
the nlgbt of Friday, December 17,
at tbe club hall.
John Dobry, who is managing the
smoker, haa secured some of the best
material available onv the coast for
the occasion, believed to be the best
boxing card ever put on in Central
Oregon. " '
Kid Burns and Carl Martin are in
the 130 pound class, and are well
known in boxing circles, having both
been meeting some of the best men
of their own weight up and down the
coast. Kid Burns is coming strong,
having knocked out his last tour op
ponents in less than six rounds.
Carl Martin is a tough man to meet,
always ready for S mix, and with a
good reputation as a boxer.
. Duffy Knorr of Terrebdnne and
Joe Hofs of Portland will be up for
a six-round go. The former is look
ed upon as a coming champion of
Central Oregon and fans look to him
to knock out his opponent before the
match is over. ' v
Greek George and Ava Polling are
well-known boxers of Bend, and will
no doubt prove a drawing card.
Besides the three matches men
tioned there will be one local bout
and some fun provoking stunts, sure
to make a deacon come across with a
laugh, i Slim Yancey of Prlneville
will be referee, s .-i

Tuesday, and was bound over to the
Federal court! ' "'" -f '';;' .;,
' Flvey's bond Wis set at $1000.00
and as he was unable to produce this
he was taken to Portland Tuesday
night by deputy U. S. Marshal Willis.
In explanation of ' the still which
he was operating, Fivey now alleges
that he waa experimenting, trying to
form a fuel lu the nature of wood alcohol-,
' The fuel which he made was very
effective for other purposes than for
fuel, as was proved by his condition
when apprehended by the sheritf,
but a whiff bt the finished product

knock-out for the experimental alibi.
Fivey was perfectly sober when he
