Description |
During the Pioneer Day celebrations there was held a special attraction show. Oloaf the Great Dane (played by Court Anderson) and Egore the Mad Swede (played by Ben Johnson) participated in a chain saw grudge match duel against one another. The location was the courthouse grounds tennis court. Afterward they participated in a pie throwing contest aimed at each other's faces. The county sheriff arrested the pair for disturbing the peace and drove them off in the Paddie Wagon. Art Schaefermeyer was the match maker. |
