Stewart Easy Victor In Friday Night Wrestling Boat

“Billy” Stewart, of Parr, was an easy victor in a wrestling match at the Ellis theatre Friday night. His opponent whs Edward Kanne, who had gone on in place of Bill Kennedy? who had suffered injuries while working out for the match. Kanne was slightly heavier than Stewart, but was in poor physical condition and not developed for endurance. He lasted five minutes the first down and put Up a very good contest for a . short time but Stewart forced his shoulders to the mat by an arm bound hold. In the second down Kanne was thrown in a minute and a half. Stewart got him with a double crotch hold and lifting him from the mat carried him Into the air and threw him with great 'force. He seemed to light on his ne'k and shoulders and Stewart with much agility was on top of him. Kanne had severely strained the ligaments at the lower extremity of the spinal cord and the shock and pain were sufficient to render him unconscious. He was not severely injured, however, and on Saturday morning was feeling pretty good except for some muscular soreness. The wrestling game is too violent for any one who has not made special training for it and it Is probable that no other unseasoned athlete will undertake it unless certain of his equality with his opponent. An interesting preliminary was a 3-round go between Guy Ropp and Art Battleday. Ropp won the first down in TMt minutes; Battleday won the second in 9 minutes and the third in a half a minute. Ropp outweighed Battleday about 15 pounds but was not so quick and knew less about the science of the game than his opponent. This match was very interesting and proved the value of a preliminary as without it this match would have been very tame. Roy Maple, a young school teacher, who is said to have had quite a lit* tie wrestling experience, issued a challenge to Stewart, and Chris Koepkey, the section foreman, did the same. Maple wanted three weeks time for hiß match and Manager Garrioti for Stewart did not come to a determination about the match. He will take it on but was anxious that his man should have another go within two weeks as he is now in prime condition and don’t want to go stale from overtraining. Maple is to get read c within two weeks if possible. Koep•v„-: was no t taken on but It is under-' stood Garriqtt is willing for Stewart to meet him in case he is successful in the Maple match. An effort was made to get Harvey Meyers and Koepkey together for a match, but it was not successful. There were about 300 people at this match and all seemed to get their money’s worth and as long as the contests are on the square and free from dirty work, as the past ones have been, there will be good sized crowds.

Nocturnal Fire Caused Loss To Stock Stored Near Depot.

A stock of goods valued at $3,009 and stored in the Nowels brick block north of the railroad by E. V. Hansford, was discovered to be on fire at 1 o’clock this Saturday morning by employees of Babcock & Hopkins' elevator, who put up a game fight against the flames pending the arrival of the fire department, which made a quick" trip to the scene of the fire, notwithstanding the hour at which the fire occurred. The flames were subdue i but not without great damage to the stock. The building itself was not much damaged. The window glass, front and rear, were broken out and the flames did some damage in the lear of the store room, where the fire seemed to haVe started^ George Thornton, whm 'ts toutetng after the business of his father-in-law, E. V. Ransford, while the latter is on business in the stale of Washington, was unable to give an estimate of the loss but he is certain everything in the store was damaged by fire and water. He states that no one from the Ransford store had been' to the room where tne stock was stored since Thursday and he feels certain that the fire could not have resulted from that visit. He examined the rear door and found that there were evidences that it had been tampered with and he thinks the fire was of incendiary origin, possibly having been started by some one who had stolen things from the stock. There was insurance on the stock but Mr. Thornton did not know how much. Had it not been for the fight put up by the elevator men and the firemen the entire stock an i probably all the buildings In the row would have been consumed and nia„k other property jeapordized.

GUN CLUB ORGANIZATION ELECTS ITS OFFICERS.

Dr. E. C. English -nude President and H. F Parker Secretary of TrapShooting Club. The Rensselaer Gun Club held a meeting Friday evening in Eger Bros.’ hardware store and elected their officers. Dr. E. C, English was made president; C. W. Eger, vice president; H. F. Parker, secretary; Delos Thompson, treasurer, and H. W. Kiplinger field captain. There are 36 charter members, each of whom pays in s‘j at the start for the purchase of traps and other equipment. More members are expected and will be welcomed. The officers were authorized to proceed with the piirchase of needed equipment. The by-laws >slll provide that matches shall be held every two weeks and that no member can shoot to exceed ,50 shells on any one day, thus making the expense light and giving all shots an equal chance. Grounds have not yet been arranged for. It is probable that the first match will take place with the first warm days of spring. ——

Thirty Stags Surprised Floyd Robinson on His 40th Birthday.

Mrs. Floyd Robinson was the instigator and Hale Warner a co-conspira-tor in a surprise party given at the Robinson home on the Shedd farm east of town Friday night. Thirty good fellows helped in the execution of the darkly plotted invasion of the Robinson home and the host was taken altogether by surprise, overpowered by superior numbers and compelled to turn his house into a Slippery Ann arena and to admit that he was not the boss of the establishment, notwithstanding the fact that he had on that day attained his fortieth year. All the live wires of the vicinity were gathered together and Slippery Ann was never given a livelier chase for the honor of victory. Judge Hanley was victorious, Ed Honan and Frank Ham tied for second place and Honon beat Ham in the play off and Joe Hardman drew the big end of hearts and the small end of the score, which gave him the booby prize. There was not a dry moment in the evening and Mrs. Robinson served a lunch that added to the delight of the occasion. The guests presented Floyd with a fine rocking chair which ameliorated to some extent the surprise and invasion. The guests wer© transported to and from the Robinson home by automobiles, Bruce White taking several loads.

Horse Thief Slips Out of Overcoat and Makes His Escape.

Fowler Republican Leader. Frank Buck hired a horse and buggy from a livery stable in Williansport and drove to Tabb, eighteen miles away, and sold the outfit to Aaron Larch for $65. Buck boarded an Indiana Harbor train and road to Danville, caught a Wabash train and came, to Attica. Henry Collum and his son went to Attica with the expectation .that Buck would come to that place. Pollum met Buck on the depot platform and seized him, but Buck slipped out of his overcoat leaving the garment in Pullum’s hands and ran. Buck then started toward the river with Pollum and posse in hot pursuit. He ran through the bottoms, found a boat on the river bank and rowed across the stream. It was the only boat in sight and his pursuers were compelled to borrow a rig and drive to the nearest bridge before they could cross the river. This gave Buck a long lead. * Darkness came on and they had to abandon the chase.

Closing Night at Indoor Fair and Society Circus.

This is the last night of the Band Boy’s indoor fair and society circus and it is probable that there will be a large attendance, especially as it is the night for selecting the carnival queen. The vote in this contest is not announced this afternoon as they will not be counted until 6 o’clock, when they will be posted for the last time before the final balloting. Miss Myrtle York is understood to have taken a big lead and It is probable that the (* o’clock ballot will show her to have received 2,000 votes since yesterday. Some of the other candidates are also said to have received a lot of votes and rumors of “dark horse” candidates are rife. The band boys are anxious to make this contest a big success and everyone is asked to send in a few votes for their favorites.

Farmer Has a Right to Get Hot at Unprincipled Hunters.

An Oxford item printed in the Fowler Republican Leader reads as follows: EM Harriso, living a mile north of town, was guarding eighteen Hungarian pheasants that had become quite tame and were considered of valuo to the farm, but some rabbit hunters he permitted to hunt on his farm killed all of them. And yet unprincipled sportsmen complain that farmers have put a stop to hunting on their lands. Honorable huntsmen cannot blam* them. / t
