POOR LOSER
Last Saturday brought a good trade for our merchants. Despite the mud, the streets were well lined with people. After noon
quite a crowd assembled on the south side of the park to witness a wrestling match between Abe STEPHENS and George LEE.
They opened out with a few preliminaries, but closed with fewer, the first fall resulting in a broken arm for LEE. He
retired to Dr. HORNE's office and had his arm adjusted.
