Bear King of Berlin Fights Man in Odd Publicity Stunt
A Berlin prize bout between a heavyweight boxer and a bear ended when the trainer stepped in as the bear knocked the man off balance. Police halted the spectacle as demoralizing, while previous ship voyages between Liverpool and Astoria showed ships traveling in tandem with shared crews. The Fort Berthold reservation tribes are noted among nine US tribes never at war, with legends claiming Mandans descend from Welsh sailors in the 11th century.

It touches on electricity as a cure, mentions graves in Washington Alston and Moultrie, and cites opinions by Sir William Gull on marriage and fertility, reflecting period beliefs and memorial neglect of notable figures.
