THAT HEGEWISCH EXPLOSION HAS HAPPENED

Eat Nelson Uses Kis Trusty Typewriter to Prove He's Not "All In."

New Orleans. Ia., Nov. 2. Money for choice seats for the bijr lightweight battle between Ad Wolgrast and Joe Mandot. in Pominlck Tortorich's arena next Monday night is pouring Into the offices of the promoter, now that the fichters have ae-reed on a referee, and nothing can happen to prevent the meeting of tho champion ana the pride of the south. The total sale jumped $2,000 today, and Tortorich did not hesitate to say that ho looked for a gate reaching close to $30,000. He asserts that the receipts for this fight will set a world's record for ten-round no-de-clslon contests. During the famous fight carnival here twenty years ago $101,000 was taken In at three fights. The first bout was between (ieorgo Dixon and Jack

Skelly, the second engaged Jack McAuliffe and Billy Meyers, the third Jim Corbett and John JL. Sullivan, and the carnival lasted three nights. Neither Wolgast nor Mandot did anything more than take a long walk today. It being All Saints' day, they dceided to rest and observe the occasio n. Wolgast is doing all his work at the basball park of the New Orleans Southern league. It is tipeerecl that a crowd of 5.000 will be present at the ball park today and more than that on Sunday, when the champion puts on the finishing- toucheB. Hackers of Mandot made It known today that they had $10.00 to bet on the French baker boy at even money fin the newspaper decision and that

i they could find no takers. Admirers of ! Wolgast evidently fear the verdict of ithe newspaper men here, figuring- the I prejudice in favor of Mandot will prove j too great a handicap to risk. They say Wolgast will have to stop his man to win. Mandot's friends are shouting that I this is the first time since Wolgast has been champion that he has not been a' big favorite in the betting. They are berating Tom Jones because he ilns not grab off wagers off, red and say that i is evidence that Jones thinks Mandot! is the better man. j : Jones denied that he has refused any bets. H- claims lie has taken a i bundle of them and has $2,000 more j to bet. lie made the startling- assertion that Wolgast would win by the' knockout route inside of three rounds.

Will Locke, secretary of the I'lttsburg team, still insists that he- was In Chicago last week to see Charley Murphy on personal business, but It Is significant that while he was there John Kvers was signed as manager.

In the course of an interview here today the two aeronauts said: "An hour after we landed near Ueckermuende, at noon on Monday, we saw a balloon sailing at the height of 0,000 to 11,000 feet towards thenortheast. It soon disappeared in the clouds. If the balloon kept in the direction It was taking when we observed It it must have been carried far Into Norway or Lapland or even beyond Into the Arctic ocean."

The Most Perfect Beer Made by the BESSEMER BREWING COMPANY The Only Independent Brewery in the Calumet Region. HAMMOND OFFICE, 236 X. nohrcan St. FRED SOMMER, General Solicitor for Indiana.

Chicago, democratic nominee for county recorder, is making an appeal t&i all intelligent voters who favor efficiency and Integrity in office, for theirl support in the election next Tuesday. j Mr. Friedman was born in Chicago in 1881, but in 18S9 he moved witht liis parents to East Chicago. His association with the East Chicago Volunteer Fire department gave him his first opportunity for a manifestation ofj public spirit, and his comrades on the department honored him repeatedly byf electing him to all the offices in the organization. At the time when the youth of East Chicago needed clean and healthy, sport most, his love of wholesome fun and organizing ability prompted him to put the East Chicago baseball team in the field. He managed it for four years, and it was his management which gave his city the first enclosed grounds. In 1907 Mr. Friedman moved to Hammond, and two years later, Judg Lawrence 1 Seeker, who was then mayor of the city, appointed him to tha ofllce of city sealer and pure food inspector. In this capacity, Mr. Friedman sot a high standard for the. office, as hundreds of letters of commendation, f which he received from the taxpayers, and words of praise in all the newsi papers in the county testify. While he was fighting the battle of consuming public, he wag making enemies among the unscrupulous dealers who were forced to put an end to their violations of the pure foods and full weight and measure laws. But even their number was small as most of the business men saw the justica of his position. After having been in office two years, he resigned to go back to East Chicago to accept the position of manager of the Friedman interests, which comprises more than a quarter of a million dollars' worth of i roperty. Last spring the democrats decided that they could overcome the republican odds, by the personnel of their ticket, and in nominating the recorder, Mr. Friedman received the unanimous support of his party.
