Wrestler Ernest Rober Was Unable to
Defeat Hans Rolf.

Hans Rolf, a wrestler from Buffalo, n.
Y, won SIS from Ernest Roeber, the cham
pion Graeco-Roman wrestler of the world,
at the Empire Theater last night. Roeber
offered SO to any person who would stay
on the mat with him for fifteen minutes
without fall. and Rolf accepted the offer.
The match was had at the conclusion Of
the regular performance. The two wrestlers
were introduced, referee having been cho-
sen from the audience At the last moment
there was some conversation in a low tone
passed between the two wrestlers, and the
referee and Roeber advanced to the front
of the stage and announced that Rolf had
refused to go with the match unless
Roeber would agree to hold him upon the
mat for five seconds after securing the
down. This Roeber at first refused TO do. He
then stepped to the front of the stage and
said II his manager was willing for him to
accept the terms he would take the mat
under the conditions. The manager ex-
pressed his Willingness and the match pro-
ceeded The men were both cautious. and
walked about the mat without attempting
any work for several minutes Then they
began active work, several times leaving
the mat In their ScrambleS. Roeber hurt his
leg in a fall off the mat and came limping
upon the mat to meet his antagonist. The
audience thought the limp "bluff'' and
Kissed him. He proceeded with the match.
however, and several times downed his OPP
ponent, but failed to hold him down the re-
quired five seconds.
The match became very exciting during
the closing minutes. Roeber had his antag
oniSt under him upon the mat, and had
hammer-lock hold. by which he was grad
ually bringing his shoulders to the mat,
when the timekeeper called, Thirteen and

were brought over and pressed against the
mat. 1t was clear down. and the referee
began counting the seconds, lone, two
then Rolf, by a quick turn, succeeded in
getting one of his shoulders from the mat.
Again Roeber frightened with his hammer

seconds and again Rolf slipped from the
hold, after being held down two seconds.

timekeeper. Roeber again secured a firm
hold upon Rolf, and Ii looked very much as

second. When the cheering. ceased it was
announced that Rolf, having stayed the fif-
teen minutes without being downed and
held five seconds, had won the SIS. Roeber
advanced to the front of the stage and said
he thought Rolf had taken advantage of
him, and said he considered that in the
five-second requirement Rolf had asked for
the prize to be given him, which was vlItu-
ally what was done.

EVIDENCE OF BLANCH's SUICIDE.
He Was Racked with Disease and Was
Very Gloomy.

Coroner Beck is positive that the body
found near Fairview Park last Saturday is
that Of Willard Blanch, though he admits
that possibly something new might be
turned up after an examination of the rifle
found last September by o. w. Sicklin, an
employe Of the water works company, near
the spot where the body was found The
rifle will be brought to the coroners office
this morning. John Blanch, the father of
Willard Blanch, last night made a state
ment before Coroner Beck that the body
was that of his son. Early in the after
noon he made a contrary statement, after
which he went to the office Of Dr. Robert
i. oliver, whose conclusive evidence has
cleared up the mystery, and reviewed the
evidence. Blanch then was impressed by
the evidence of DR.. Oliver, after which he
went to the coroners Office and made the
above statement

Alabama street, who was a very intimate
friend Of Blanch, yesterday stated that he

ed with an incurable disease and which at

disappearance Blanch gave his watch to
Ing, at No. 2111s East Washington street,
TO give to his wife. Blanch and his wife
had been living apart for some time, and
this fact also made him gloomy at times
His action over the watch was regarded as
peculiar. for his friends and relatives had
never known him to act so before. 1t is
supposed that at the time he was premedi-
tating suicide, and wanted his wife to
keep his watch as a remembrance of him
Mrs. Lizzie Trick, residing at No. 32l
South Delaware street, and who was a
close friend OF Blanch, remembers dis
tinctly his actions before his disappear
ance. On one occasion he spoke Of having
visited Fairview Park. on the day. before
his disappearance Blanch came to her
house and said he intended to go to Florida
for his health, at the same time remarking
that possibly he might never return. He
laughed as he made the remark, and added
that, as he thought Fairview Park such a
beautiful place, he believed he would go
out there again before he went away. That
was the last seen of Blanch by Mrs Trick
Coroner Beck regards this statement OF
Mrs Trick as conclusive evidence that
Blanch premeditated suicide before his dis
appearance.

remains over to Lodge No 81, X of p,

Brief i'm the County Fee Case.

Attorney Kopelke, of Crown Point, came
promptly to the front in the Supreme Court
yesterday with his brief in the case OF the
State ex rel. Mccoy against Recorder
Krost, of Lake county. Among other con-
tentions the attorney for the county
corder holds that if the recorder Of Porter
county is entitled 10 charge SIPS for re-
cording an instrument the recorder OF Lake
county must have the same right. The
mere fact that one was elected before and
the other after the act OF 1891 was passed
makes no difference and cannot constitute
a proper ground for distinction or classifica-
ton. If ii did, the brief maintains, then
residence in the river gas belt counties,
election in presidential or In ''off" years,
membership in the Republican or Demo-
cratic party, native or acquired citizen
ship or any other arbitrary distinction
would afford like ground for different treat
ment in legislation. The brief asks If a
distinction between officers elected and to
be elected illusory and fraudulent against
the citizen when he is required to pay the
one more than the other for the same work.
