Mauney, Mauney saw- Dixon, and
then the race began. After about a
mile of running they came to ^ie
river but Mauney never hesitated;
plunging in he went across. Dixon
followed and finally Mauney's wind
failed him after another little sprint
after crossing the river. He is now in
jail here while Dixon's clothes are on
the line. The case against Willis has
been postponed until next term of
