Charles LEONHARDT Attacked by Bull Dog (1905)

Bull Dog vs. Wrestler

Spencer, Oct. 19. – Prof. Charles LEONHARDT, the champion wrestler, who is in training for a match with Sam MURBARGER, of Indianapolis, at Spencer. Friday night had an exciting experience with a French Bulldog near this city two days ago. The athlete has a habit of taking a seven-mile spurt on foot into the country every morning in order to keep up his wind and powers of endurance. He was sprinting by a farm house five mile from the city at a fifteen-mile gait when attacked by a ferocious bull dog belonging to a farmer. The contest was fierce but lasted only a short while and when the noted wrestler parted with the dog he left the seat of his pants with the canine, coming to Salisbury for additional clothing.
