to be the speediest gourmand In the

finished with most of the p'e clinging

so displayed appetites for pie of
championship calibre.

Wrestling Match With Veteran Pit
tI Against Two Amateurs at Same
Time, Proves Event of Evening
Broncho mister All Unseated.
Fully one hundred and fifty people
gathered in the Commercial gymna
sium Saturday evening to witness, the
most successful athletic carnival ever
pulled off by local high school stu
dents. One continuous roar of root
ing and laughter testified to the ap
preciation of the novel treat offered
through the efforts of Coach Asbahr
and his assistants. Boxing bouts,
wrestling matches and a long series
of unique contests of strength and
skill afforded the spectators all of
the amusement they could stand in
one evening.
Chester Fee and Claud Hampton
opened the carnival with what proved
to be one of the features of the eve
ning, a biscuit shooting contest in
which the two boys, seated astride a
pole, belabored each" other with a
stuffed club. The title to the cham
pionship was left undecided owing to
the bursting of one of the "biscuits."
In the boxing bouts, Joe Dorsey
won a two-canto contest over Rex
Gray, although in the opening inning
his opponent succeeded In sending
him "through the ropes. Myers and
Rayburn fought to a draw. The lat
ter was outweighed but overcame the
handicap by a cleverness which pre
vented a decision. Tallman and
Prock. the directors' sons, mixed in
a terrific three-round mill but neither
was able to outpoint the other so that
the "pickloweight" championship sti'.l
hangs in the balance.
In the wrestling game, the bout in
which Paul Finnell pitted himself
against Mentzer and Cherrier, two
freshmen, and agreed to throw them
twice in an hour, was the most spec
tacular of the evening. Like a griz
zly bear beset by a couple of snap
ping terriers, he tossed his opponents
about the mat at will, but was unable
to pin -the shoulders of either to the
mat. Finnell also attempted to out
pull three freshmen and, though he
did not succeed, he caused much mer
riment by sending one of his oppo
nents somersaulting across the floor.
The Ferguson brothers put up a
scientific grappling contest- but were
unable to determine the family
champioship.
The mule pulling contests were
hard fought. Fee and Hampton with
Strain and McDonald as riders pull
ing to a standstill. Both teams were
assigned to the city fire department.
The elephant race was an interest
ing feature of the evening, calling
forth great response from the root
ers. For this event two men are ne
cessary to form one of the cumber
scne animals, and the Sturdivant
Croekatt combination succeeded in
crossing the tape a jhade in front of
the Fee-Hampton team, although the
latter claim their opponents beat the
gun.
The broncho busting contest proved
a screamer. Roork was first saddled
and, after some vicious bucking, suc
ceeded in hurling "Shadow" Crockatt
to the sod. Young Snyder on Art
Ferguson, put up a clever exhibition
of busting, while Krebs won applause
by his success in eluding Tils captors.
The artificial broncho, which con
sisted of a saddle fastened on a rail-

the city Jail is empty, all of the old
offenders having served out their sen

personally supervises the cleaning of
the cement floors each day, while at
frequent intervals he has the room
fumigated. Were it not for the stig
