Factory Men Come to Talk Proposition Over With Directors.

Three gentlemen, representing the Gardner Automatic Fuel Feeder Co., came from Chicago this Wednesday morning and at a meeting held in the east court room this afternoon at 1:30 o’clock discussed the proposition of the factory locating in Rensselaer. The intention of the men to come to Rensselaer was not received in time to be published in The Republican of Tuesday, but President Worland and Secretary Spitler notified all of the directors and many of the members and the meeting was quite well attended. What was transacted will be related in The Republican Thursday.

Several sparring matches had been arranged to take place in the Victoria theatry at Lafayette Tuesday evening but the authorities would not permit them. The wrestling matches proceeded before a large audience. Polos defeated Ed Beal in two straight falls and Murbarger defeated a wrestler named Pringle. The audience was well pleased, according to the Journal.
