the embrace of Nelson and leg hold,
which brought him to bridge. Exerting
his ponderous strength the stranger"
slowly bore Roeber to the mat, securing
che first fall in I min. 6 sec.
Both men, at the expiration OF. ten min
ntes' rest, locked arms for the Grrco-
Roman hont At the expiration of ton
minutes both men were pcrspiring freely,
ss they had found that hold of any kind
was difficult to retain. Roeber slipped to
the floor, Lewis taking a stomach clasp,
pumping the Germans wind. Roeber took
aneck hold, bnt could not maintain his
advantage. Getting a hold from behind,

Seriously Burned.

About O'Clock on Monday last, dur
ing the absence of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Bell, who reside with their two children
in the Curry property on the Heights"
their little daughter, Annie, aged about
years, ventured too near an open fire.
A spark set fire to her clothing which
was soon in blaze, causing the child to
shrek with pain. Miss Agnes Franklin,
who resides in that vicinity, went to the
rescue and succeeded in extinguishing
the fire, but the entire left side of the lit
tie one was painfully burned and her
her hair consumed. 1t was miraculous
escape from horrible death, and should
serve as a warning to parents who leave
their children exposed to such dangers.

patient is favorable to recovery

The Catholic Fair, which has been in

handsome sum, and the ladies having
the Fair in charge deserve great credit
for the success attained.
