Day of Event Hain Inter
feres With Program.
The eighth annual King Korn
Karnival has passed into history and
with a record of probably the largest
attendance of any of the successful
events of past years and each after

large crowds.
The Saturday program was inter

rain that fell in the early afternoon

many, making it a disagreeable time
for the rural school parade.
The old time fife and drum corps
of Omaha were opening entertainers
on the program Saturday afternoon
and followed by Captain Hugo's leap
Tor life from the tower at Seventh
and Main streets.
A clever tap dancing number was
given by Miss Lavonne Hild of Coun
cil Bluffs, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Emil Hild. former residents here, she
being accompanied at the piano by
E. H. Wescott. This -was an excep
tionally clever number.
The rural school parade yas a very
pleasant feature of the day. altho the
rain interfered to some extent with
the handling of the floats, many of
which with their delicate colorings
and decorations suffered from the ef
fects of the rain. In addition to the
school floats there were many of the
beautiful and attractive floats that
had taken part In the Merchants
parade out. for the delight of the
large crowd, among these being the
log cabin float of the E. J. Richey
lumber and the Cass county court
house, as well as several from other
local business houses. The prize -win
ners in the school parade were as
follows:
1st Dist. No. 5. Marie Thomason.

in the past years.

Bryant. $3; second, Charles Allen.
$2.50; third, Eugene Sell. $1.50.
The evening program was headed
fy the concert of the Elmwood band,
one of the best that has appeared in
the city and under the direction of
Peter Gradoville, gave a real artistic
program of the best class of music
and which was given in a truly
artistic manner. It was a pleasure to
the music lovers to have this treat
afforded them.
The Schafer sisters In songs closed
the platform program in a very fine
group of numbers.

WITT. A BP TIGNER WETS
IN BOXING TOURNAMENT
Korn is King and the grand old
King Korn Karnival for 1939 is now
only a memory. The young boxers,
all the officials and Promoter Kid
Graves, all hope these memories are
pleasant ones, worthy of remember
ing and reminiscing over in the com
ing years' interval, until another
Karnival boxing show is staged.
Everyone seemed pleased with the
program and with the exception of
the vanquished Gene Lester, who
battled valiantly for three rounds
against Willard Tigncr but found
Tigner too sturdy and courageous
to fall victim to his vicious left jabs.
which was about the only punch he
could use effectively because of a
football injury to his right hand.
Tigner had a fairly good left jab of
his own and with it and a snappy
right cross, landed effectively enough
to win the award of both judges and
the referee.
Later in the evening. Kid Graves
presented Tigner with a beautiful
bath robe which was the reward for
his victory, donated by the Platts
mouth Business Men's Ad club. In a
few well chosen words. Graves thank
ed the new Plattsmouth area welter
champion for his good, clean sports
manlike manner throughout the
tourney an:l wished him even great
er successes in future amateur tour
neys in Plattsmouth and other towns
as well.
One thrilling event in the K.K.K.
boxing tourney was the dusty squab
ble between those nine-year-old fisti-
cuffers. Robert Chriswisser and Mar
ion Schlieske. Marion outweighed
Robert about five or six pounds, but
Chriswisser didn't let that trouble
him. The lads put up a really thrill
ing scrap and the judges and referee
were unanimous In declaring It a
draw.
In the final event of the card. Jeff
was given a verdict over Mutt by
the Komlcal Kop. who refereed their
ludicious scrap and when Mutt pro
tested the decision, chased the rangy
loser up the street and Jeff chased
the Kop. In the battle, the par
ticipants used a specially prepared
set of boxing gloves made of 25-lb.
sugar and four sacks, stuffed with a
bushel and a half of chicken feathers.
Feathers flew in this event and a
sack full was swept up off the ring
platform after the melee was brought
to an end.
Promoter Kid Graves has asked
the Journal editor to express for
him, the thanks and gratitude he
has for those who so ably assisted
him in making the K.K.K. boxing
tournament a success. This includes
all the boxers who had a part in it.
Alvie Craves, the Omaha referee.
George Schmader who was judge on
two of the three evenings and referee
the second night and Arnold Lillie.
local barber who acted as judge on
all three nights and his hired man.
George Thun. who was one of the
ludges on Friday evening.
Special thanks are also due Ira
Cllnkenbeard, Jack Brlttain and the
Komical Kop for their part in mak
ing the boxing show "go over."

the St. Joseph's church at Beatrice.
