The fight between the two inects took place inside one of the late windows of the Peoples bank nd was witnessed by an audience hat ranged all the way from one 0 more than a dozen. When first iscovered the odds appeared about ven but in the closing rounds the pider succeeded in wrapping the /eevil in some kind of net. causing he Mexican invader to become abolutely helpless. The weevil pluckily grappled with he spider, using its lone -''bill" as 1 weapon of offense and defense. The% spider, although apparaently unible to penetrate the tougher hide >f its antagonist, was too fast for he weevil and continually escaped he blows aimed at it. At the end >f the fight the spider began the Fiutcoa 01 puiuug me weevil nuch as the cow puncher drags his :apture after him. The fight was witnessed by a lumber of local citizens who vouchjd for the assertion that it was no 'fake'* in any particular. While no nagnifying glasses were brought in-f :o play, it was easy for the onlook?rs to follow each move and to see ;he "knockout" as finally adminintered by the spider. Whether the fight will have any signifincance in the campaign against the boll weevil is only a matter of opinoin. Whether the boll weevil and the ipider are sworn enemies because of 1 'race, color or previous condition of servitude' or one merely encroached upon the other is only a matter 3f speculation. But more than a iozen persons will testfy that in une fight at least the boll weevil has seen seen to have a conqueror. And so far the boll weevil has not been known to make an alibi of any kind, j The Civic League will meet at the j Courthouse Fridiv afternoon at 4 j j'clock. | HAD HIS NEPHEW SIZED UP Uncle Fogy Came Pretty Near Knowing Just What Was the Matter I With Lucaa Purt.
