Olson Rallies After First Fall and Defeats Winkelhoefer

One of Greatest" Wrestling Bouts Ever Held in City Again a Triumph for Indianapolis ' Lad. YOUNG BEEL DEFEATS ' ROEBER AFTER HARD GO Brilliant and Exciting Work of Beel Created Great Enthusiasm Among Those Witnessing Match. - 3 Two of the hardest fought and most spectacular matches ever pulled off In this state, were witnessed at the coli seum last evening by a wildly enthusiastic crowd, numbering about 1,200 men, women and small boys. For the first time Charley Olson, who, with Fred Beel, ranks as the best of Amerl can light heavyweights, met the 210 pound German, heavyweight champion, -Winkelhoefer, and after it looked as though the German's superior weight was to decide the victory in his favor the crowd, to its amazed delight, saw Olson rally and win the match by taking two straight falls. The crowd also saw in action for the first time the cleverest of all middleweights, Young Beel, who by a brilliant display of skill and cunning defeated the heavier and fierce fighting Roeber. Young Beel won two straight falls. Ills lightning like actions astonished the crowd and he was enthusiastically cheered. .Olson's victory over Winkelhoefer was by far his most brilliant performance in his ring history. When lanky Charles entered .', the ring, his long arms and loose hung frame reminding everyone of that ancient fighter, Bob Fitzsimmons, he tipped the scales at 376 pounds. Winkelhoefer, a very giant of a man, who by his crouching attitude reminded one of a gorilla, weighed in at 210 pounds. Skill Versus Strength. The battle between these two champions was a sight for, the gods. Olson, trlckey and fast moving, pitted his skill against the ponderous weight and strength of the hard fighting German and it proved a victory of skill over strength. , The German won the first fall after forty-five minutes of the most spectacular work. Several times he attempted to down Olson by standing him on his head with the ankle holds, but each time Olson saved himself by his great reach, grabbing the German by one of his ankles and pulling him down with a crash like the gave in of a skyscraper. Finally Winkelhoefer secured a body hold and half Nelson on Olson and by his superhuman strength flattened him out on the mat. Olson's Quick Work. . The second fall was won by Olson in quicker time than it takes to write it. Quickly pulling the German down by a dive like a football player Oon rolled over on him with the speed of a springing tiger, secured the arm and body hold and in two and a half minutes after the call of time had his big opponent prone and helpless on his back. The surprised German, when Olson broke his hold, jumped to his feet and paced angerly about the ring. In the third bout Olson out fought ihe German in every instance. He repeatedly used the deadly toe hold and by superhuman strength alone Winkelhoefer succeeded in breaking It. Olson would then roll him over, massage his bald head and then hurl him to a new corner' of the ring. Af ter completely wearing out the big fel low by his savage fighting Olson secured a perfect full Nelson and spread him out on the mat. Time 23 mln utes. When the German came to his feet he was convulsed with anger and shook his fist definitly at the roaring crowd. In a torrent of pure, unadul terated German the big fellow tried to explain that he was not fairly downed the last fall, but the howling fanatics would hear none of his explanations. Beel-Roeber Match. The Young Beel-Roeber match was fully as interesting an exciting as the heavyweight contest. Roeber forced the fighting throughout and time and again he secured holds that looked unbreakable, but Young Beel, the Human Eel, slipped through everyone either by squirming along the mat like a snake or by executing a flipflop, which would be a credit to a contortionist. In. the first bout after 204 minutes of brilliant, exciting work. Young Beel broke a bad hold by pulling off a mid air back double tumble, pounced upon the unprepared Roeber, . nd. by a quarter Nelson and a crotch hold, put him to the mat. Young Beel took the second fall in 17 minutes. His work this bout was a duplicate of the first bout and Rocker's downfall was accomplished by an English barlock and chancery hold. This match was refereed by a man named Winkle and his work was highly satisfactory. He carefully watched every hold and at the close of each bout named the winning hold to the crowd and announced the time. Roeber refereed the heavyweight bout.

I think that was some of it you unloaded on me. Chicago News. Only Co "BROMO QUININE,- that U Laxative firomo Quinine Cvma CoM la One Day, Cr$Ja2 Day

PROVE POPULAR Henry County May Purchase Ten. New Castle, Ind., Dec. 1. Such general satisfaction was given by the seven voting machines used in this county at the last election, that at a special meeting of the county council, the commissioners will astt an appropriation to defray the purchase of ten machines. No trouble was encountered with the operation of the machines. In Henry township the amount saved by reason of lack of need for so many clerks, was sufficient to pay the rental for the machines. The voting was done quicker and there were practically no complaints. One minute was allowed each voter. The rental price of the machines can be applied to the purchase price. BOY GETS Jenkins Goes to Marietta Di vision of Pennsy. Will Jenkins one of the well known young men of this city and a civil engineer on the Richmond division of the Pennsylvania, has been promoted to the Marietta division with headquarters at Cambridge, O., which Is midway between Columbus and Pittsburg. This is quite an honor for Jenkins and his many local friends wish him success. He has been with the road for several years and is a graduate of Earlham college and also attended Purdue university. Thomas Doyle also of the civil engineering corps has been transferred to Cleveland. Doyle also has many friends who are pleased with his success. THE ENCORE. It Originated In Framce In th Sevemteemth Century. The beginning of the encore dates back to some time between 1645 and 1709, probably about 1680, when Lout XIV. demanded the repetition of cartain parts of an opera. The opera was by Corneille, Fontenelle and Boileau. which was sung before his majesty, and the king was so pleased with certain parts that he asked to have them repeated. It took fully a century for the ordinary opera goers to obtain the king's prerogative for themselves. It came about in this way: Gluck had produced an opera which had been a failure; but, having rewritten the worst parts, he produced it again. One or two songs were accepted by the audience with applause, and one In particular was demanded a second time. The most remarkable encores on record are those which were insisted upon by the late king of Bavaria. Before he was known to be Insane, when merely thought eccentric, he had plays performed before him as the sole auditor, the curtain rising at midnight. If he liked the play he insisted on having It repeated at once. But, unlike most encore fiends, he paid liberally for them. Though our word "encore" Is adopt ed from the French, they themselves do not make use of It in this connection. They call "Bis, bis," and obtain a repetition. New York Herald. THE RUSSIAN ICON. It Is Simply a. Rellg-tona Bleased by a Priest Picture An Icon is simply a religious "picture, generally of little artistic merit, and the subject usually represented is either a Russian saint, some event in the life of Jesus Christ or the Virgin Mary. In the Greek church, as in other Chris tian churches, the worship of graven images is forbidden, but no objection Is made to anything reproduced on a flat surface. Therefore icons are permitted in the form of mosaics, paintings, enamels or prints. They play an important part in the religious life of the Russians and are to be met with everywhere In churches, public offices, private houses and shops. A picture to become an icon must be blessed by a priest, and it is then regarded not only as an ornament, but as an accessory in the worship of the Greek church. Icons are also worn on the person, when they take the form of a plaque or a book with two leaves. Almost every soldier wears one on his bosom, and when he prays he takes out his Icon and, opening it, kneels down before it as if it were a portable altar. Every regiment has its own icon, which it carries as it would carry its banner when the regiment goes into battle. THE PRICE OF A LIFE. How It Was Fixed Tnder the Old Aacto-Sixon Laws. According to Anglo-Saxon laws, every man's life. Including that of the king, was valued at a fixed price, and any one who took It could commute the offense by a money payment upon a fixed scale. The life of a peasant was reckoned to be worth 200 shillings, that of a man of noble birth 1,200 shillings, and the killing of a king involved the regicide in a payment of 7,200 shillings. It has been pointed out that the heir to the throne could thus get rid of the existing occupant by murdering him and thereafter handing over the fine, according to the scale, to the exchequer, when his offense would be purged and his money would come back to himself, for in those days the sovereign received all fines as personal perquisites. There is very little doubt that these rougn means were practically applied in the case of some rulers of England in the preconquest period. London Telegraph. Kodol Fop Indigestion.
