WILLARD STORY HERO By HAL SHERIDAN. Jess Willard is now the hero of a large number of stories. Here's a true one about the new heavyweight champion’s experience when he was still undiscovered. It is set out in Colorado and hus plenty of action. Four years ago Jess Willard wau- dered the streets of Pueblo, Colorado, hunting a job and couldn’t find one. He then “bummed” his way on a freight train as far as Boone, Colo., and sought a job at a number of (i . ranches in that neighborhood, finally landing one at harvesting the chili bean crop on a farm, owned by a man named Smith. George Lovern, a patrolman .on the Pueblo city police force today, was running the Smith farm at that time. Here is what Lovern says about Willard’s experience: “Jess Willard was then a gang- ling cow puncher who strayed up here, strictly on the ‘huminer’ from Oklahoma. I had a dozen men at helping harvest the bean crop. Wil- lard’s size and apparently splendid physical condition impressed me and although I thought I had all the men needed at the time, I gave him a job. “I gave him a month’s work at a dollar a day and board and he did as much work in a day as two of the other men I had working. He could talk nothing but prize fighting. He said he had been sparring some in Carl Morris’ camp in Oklahoma, but that there was more experience and punishment than money in it for a novice, so he finally got out in pur- suit of work. “Evenings after work Willard boxed with the other farm hands, just going through the motions for they had no boxing gloves there. He talked as though his one ambition was to get a chance in the ring, and that he wouldn’t be content until he got one. He was then just a raw- boned kid, 24 years old.

Following this portion of the law, Atditor George at the sale last year urgéd the bidding on the lands in the belief that anything bid up to the extent of THE TOTAL DRAIN- AGE ASSESSMENT would go to the credit of the lien against each par- ticular tract of land, and that any excess over and above the total drainage assessment would go to the government as a bonus. With this understanding the bid- ding was active, and about $16,000 was taken in as excess. After the sale, however, Mr. George been no cancellations.
