Martin Vogel, the K. Fonrth ave. bntcher, is a big man physically, so also is D. W. Hitchcock, of Milan, and when the latter came to Ann Arbor Monday rnorning with a load of sweet coru for sale their respective weights were tbe snbject of a bet between the two men. Vogel offered to bny the whole load of corn at doublé its market value if, when he and Hitchcock were weighed, it was not fonnd tbat he was the beavier by 15 ponnds. On the other hand Hitchcock offered to give Vogel the corn if sach proved to be the case. The two were weigüed in tbe presence of a number of interested spectators, and the result showed that however good a judge Martin may be of the weight of a beast he was away off in his jndgment of the weight of a man Mr. Hitchcook tipped the beam at 341 ponnds, while Mr. Vogel's weight was found to be 340 ponnds Vogel did not bny the load of corn but he did set up the oigars for the crowd.
