The Wrestling Match Between Edwards
! and Gleason-Prospect that 1t will
Have to Take Place this Week.
The ewrestling match between Edwin Ed.
wards and Larry Gleason, which was set
| for Sunday night, did not come off. The
men were both on hand but Gleason was
dressed, as to his neither extremities, with
pair of moccasins on his feet which the
Edwards party claimed was not permits
sible according to all precedent in Cornish
wrestling. 1t was conceded by the Ed.
wards hackers that socks can worn, but it
was maintained that moccasins came un-
der the generic title of shoes which are pro-
hi hibited. The Gleason men maintained
that moccasins are not shoes and defied
the Edwards hackers to show that they are
anywhere prohibited, AS no one had q
copy OF the rules, no conclusio1 4 on the SUBJ
ject was reached, and the matter was
argued until IL O'Clock when Henry Albert
son. who had been chosen referee, declared
there would be no match that night
as the parties could not come to any
agreement on the subject The crowd dis.
persed and every one IL the hall got check
funded. Up to this time it is |
undecided whether the match shall come off |
after all or the money be refunded to those |
who hold checks. There is just this diff |
Guilty in the way of the latter arrangement, |
that a great many hold checks who did not |
pay their dollar for admission, owing to
the fact that there were an unknown num-
Der OF deadheads in the hall, many OF whom
no doubt got checks. It is understood that
D number OF these have been bought up as
! speculation by one man, and that he
could make trouble unless the money they
.epresent is refunded. For this reason it
8 almost certain that Edwards and Glea-
ION will have to give an exhibition at
which the checks can be redeemed. A great
leal of interest centeIed on the contest,
ind the stakes, $500 a side, were the larg-
st for which any wrestling match in this
,art OF the country has ever been made.

A shskespearian Club Formed by Young
| Society People.
With view to the mental improvement
certain to be derived from the perusal of
tn, works of the ''divine William" some
young ladies and gentlemen of this city
have formed Shakespearian Club. The
manner in which the mental improvement
is to be effected is by the discussion and
reading of the plays OF the dramatist. This
is highly commendable and will undoubt-
edly meet the approval of their seniors. To
know and thoroughly understand these
plays is itself liberal education. But the
members of this society are modest. They
do not desire to have their laudable
ambition known. A representative of

An Engineer Killed and the Road Blocked
For the Time Being.
Yesterday afternoon about $3.50 an &C.
cident occurred on the Montana Central
at place iabout one mile west OF
Park Sta6ion, An engine with engineer
and fireman on it was backing up for wood.
1t had to cross small bridge
about a hundred yards across. 1t was
going at pretty fast rate of cpeed when
the tender jumped the track and went
humping over the cross-ties, the outer
wheels on the outer edge, and making
matchwood of them. Just as it came to the
other side the tender broke off and fell
down an embankment about thirty feet
deep or SO. The engine was on the bridge, but
off the track, and the engineer and fireman
both jumped from the engine. The On.
gineer's name could not be learned, but he
was killed in making the leap, the fireman
being uniniured. The evening train was de.
tanned at the other end of the bridge, being
unable to come in until it is repaired.
Several parties walked into town from
from there, distance OF twelve milvs.
Among others, Sam Robertson, OF the
