rrnm Monday's Dally
The fight card promoted by the
local aerie of the Eagles, which was
staged at the American Legion com -
munity building on Saturday eve-
ning brought outbnly a small crowd
despite the fact that the committee
had worked hard to cive the resi-
dents of this section a good balanced
bill. In the arrangements of the
fight the committee met with a num
ber of disappointments in last minute
prostitutions that were made neces-
sai by Illness and particularly In
the main event of the fight
The main event was scheduled to
be between Joe Roper, hard hitting.
Omaha bxoer and Frank Gozeman of
San Antonio, Texas, but a few hours
before the time for the battle Goze
man received the message announc
ing the death of a child and had
to forego the battle with Joe. The
substitution was made of Sandy Mc
Dowell, well known boxer of Fort
Crook, but who was a poor foe for
Battling Joe as the soldier boxer was
sent to the land of dreams in the
second round with a fast one to the
jaw and the fight was all over.

when the bell terminated the round.
The feature battle of the card was
that given by Smoky Joe Smogye,
146, and Steve Mickna, 145, both of
Omaha. TheBe boys fought a draw
here on a previous bill and in the
fight Saturday Mickna showed much
Improvement over his former style
and was winner of the decision at
the hands of Referee Harry Reed
and a well deserved award as the
clever little boxer had made a bril
liant and fast showing against the
more seasoned Smoky Joe Mickna
took the aggressive in the fight and
all through the six rounds kept Joe
busy In keeping from the receiving
end of the glove of Steve

of Omaha. waB a very much one
id
;on-
ed event as far as BirdBell was con
cerned as he had Turner bleeding
profusely and throughout the fight
Birdsell was forcing the fighting and
in the sixth and final round had
Turner down for the count of eight
but the Omaha boxer recovered and
staid out the battle but was clearly
the loser.
The four round events featured
in the first "Kid" Dempsey, soldier
boxer and "Kid" Wooders, of Omaha,
and In which Wooders inflicted a
great deal of punishment on the sol
dier and had him marked up as the
result of the fight, through his su
perior boxing tactics, but he was un
able to develop an aggressive that
would win and the decision was for
Dempsey.
John Smogye, younger brother of
Smoky Joe had little trouble in an
nexing his bout in the opening round
of the fight with Mickey Powers and
John with smashing right and left
had Powers down three times in the
opener when Referee Reed awarded
the decision to Smogye on the knock
out. The presentation of the Danforth
twins. Jack and Lucille, proved a
real treat as these clever five year
old kiddies gave a burlesque of the
now famous "slow count" of the
Dempsey-Tunney fight at Chicago.
The role of referee was taken by
Jack Barry and the trio made a very
clever presentation of the fight. The
audience showed their appreciation
of the act of the little folks by a
generous purse.
The clever little Danforth twins
are to appear at the Rltz theatre
in this city on Tuesday and Wednes
day and the many friends here who
enjoyed the show at the fight will
have the opportunity of enjoying a
further treat at the theatre.
State Boxing Commissioner Ira
Voorhls was present at the bout
with a number of other Lincoln fight
promotors and the commissioner
handled the inspection of the fight
and was well pleased with the man
ner In which it was carried out.

TOUCH OF FB0NTIEE DAYS
Prom Tuesday's Dally
Two young lads of this city yes
terday decided to start out in the
world and in order to accomplish
their desires they took the horse
back route and in true frontier style
mounted their borrowed ponies and
started northward to the city of
Omaha. The fact of the boy's jour
ney was discovered by W. F. Evers,
superintendent of the Nebraska
Masonic Home noticed that the pony
of his son was missing and on in
quiry of Billy, Jr., he was told that
the pony had been left in his usual
haunts and had not been ridden.
Mr. Evers and his son then started
a search for the missing pony and
passing the Glen Vallery place was
informed that two boys had ridden
past on the pony and headed north
ward. Inquiring along the route the
boys were traced through LaPlatte
and finally overhauled near the ren
dering works northeast of LaPlatte.
The boys had two ponies by this
time and on being questioned they
gave several stories of where they
were going and as to their relatives.
The boys were started back to this
city and on the way Mr. Vallery met
the party and was startled to find
that the boys had annexed one of
his ponies as well as the Evers pony.
The boys were brought on into the
city and taken to their parents where
they were turned over for handling
in the courts of their own home.

Baking Com
panies Win Suit-
f or Injunction
District Court Holds Ordinanoe of
Weeping Water Is Invalid and
City Is Restrained.
From Von day Dati
The hearing of the application of
the Omaha baking companies for an
inlunction arainst the city of Weep-
ing. water to restrain the city from
the enforcing of an occupation tax
ordinance covering the compell ing
of the payment of a tax of 150 per
year for the operation of bread trucks
in the city, was held today and re
sulted in a victory for the baking
companies.
The court held that the ordinance
was invalid and that the city would
be restrained from enforcing the or
dinance against the baking com
panies and accordingly the petition
of the Omaha baking companies for
the injunction was sustained.
This matter of outside business in-
Jterests trucking products and goods
into tne various towns over me Biaie
is leading to the adoption of many
occupation tax ordinances that seek
to add a heavy fee for the operation
of truck and for the selling and
peddling of goods in the corporative
limits of the towns.
This city has an ordinance that
sets the tax on the bread trucks at
$150 per year but which has never
been ruled on as pet by the courts,
altho an action has been pending for
some time on appeal from the lower
courts, the action beiag held up while
the case of the baking companies
against the city of. Fremont has been
pending in the supreme court where
a decision would probably set a pre
cedent for ordinances in cities of the
same class.

Three-Year-Old
Boy Has Fall Into
Abandoned Well
Jackie Kuchera, Opens Well Cover
and Falls Into Debris
Filled Hole
From Tuesday's Daily-
Yesterday afternoon, Jackie, three-
year-old sou of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Kuchera, residing on east Granite
street, fell into an unusued and dry
well on the place and was in the
well for some forty-five minutes be
fore the parents located the boy al
tho they were frantically searching
over the neighborhood for the little
fellow.
The boy hae several times wander
ed away from home and journeyed
down into the business section of
the city and yesterday while the
mother was occupied just a few mom
ents in some of the household work
the little boy disappeared and when
the mother looked for him he had
gone. Thinking that he had wand
ered to some of the neighbors Mrs.
Kuchera looked over the neighbor
hood without success and Mr. Kuch
era, who had returned home came
down to the business section to look
for the boy and the police start
ed a search down town but which
was fruitless. The father returned
home and just about this time the
mother in searching again over the
neighborhood came to the vicinity
of the old well and heard a slight
noise as of a groan and also noted
that the top of the well was open.
She glanced into the well and saw
the boy lying at the bottom of the
well which is some forty feet deep
There was no ladder of sufficient
height to permit the descent into
the well and the father of the -lad
with Officer Dave Pickrel, a neigh
bor, hurriedly drove down to the
main portion of the city where ropes
were secured to make the rescue of
the boy. Mrs. Kuchera, the mother,
was lowered into the well and was
able to rescue the boy and bring
him to the surface again, the mother
Buffering several severe bruises ' a
she was hauled to the 'surface br the
pffnrta nf hnr hnahnnrl and Mr

to the boy otherwise are not thought
to be serious.
