Cock Fight Disrupted

Waco Times-Herald
April 11, 1935

(From the "It Happened Yesterday" column)

While Lions Club members were watching a cock fight at their luncheon in the Raleigh hotel, Sheriff W.B. Mobley made a false "raid" on the fight, threatening to "pinch" those responsible for the fight, but he was calmed down and stayed to watch the remainder of the battle.

The cocks had padded gloves on their spurs so they could not hurt each other. Capt. O.J. Neundoerfer, national guard instructor, was speaker on the program.
