Miller was born in Bavaria in Janu-
arv, 1852, and is therefore now in his
3lst year. His father was a Bavarian
farmer. and when Sebastian was but II
years of age the anxious parent consid'
ering his son too big for the only child's
school in the district-the boy then
weighed 140 German pounds, equivalent
to 100 in America-took him from his
studies, and after utilizing his services
about the farm found position for him
in the Muncbener Court brewery.
As early "a this Miller showed sxcep-
tional strength, and could lift and carry
as much as any grown man. 1t WAS
while working in the brewery that he
at first became aware of his abnormal
strength. Handling and carrying full
barrels OF beer proved hard work to
some of the experienced hands, but
Sebastian never tired and was equal to
working late and early, and finally after
accustoming himself to the task of car
rying barrel containing 80 gallons,
weighing 500 pounds, he conceived the
idea of entering the ranks of strong
men.
He made his first appearance in Swia-
zerland, and went from town to town
exhibiting his feats.
He visited Paris early in his career,
and arrived in America early in 1887 I'M
der engagement to William Mudoon,
then at the top of the wrestling, weight
lifting and strong-man profession.
Miller exhibited with the company.
but did not think of mastering Muldoon
till three years after hs first engage
ment. Then, in 1889, he challenged
and defeated his employer at GRECO
Roman wrestling. Miller then weighed
2l0 pounds.
Prior to meeting Muldoon, Miller
wrestled August Schmide in New York
and won. This was his first victory in
America.
His next win was against Ernest Ro-
Der, champion wrestler weighing 1870
pounds. They wrested in the Greco
Roman style at Tarepa hall, New York,
and won in short time. The match was
for $500.
In 1888 Miller was the recipient OF a
handsome gold medal and badge. 1t
was from the professors OF Pennsylvania
hospital, and an inscription on the re-
verse side states that they pronounced
him to be the strongest living man.
Eugene Sandow has been challenged
twice by Sebastian Miller, but no match
has yet been arranged. Sandow has in
fact refused to meet Miller. He claims
the latter is not strong man in the
true sense, an argument not sustained
by fact.
He has a standing challenge to lift
heavy weights with any man in the
world for $4,000.

Sebastian Miller the Wrestler
and Heavy Weight-Lifter.
He Has Come to This City and
Hopes to Make Match.
Something About This Powerful Nan
Who Would Like to Make
Match with the Strong
Man Eandow.

Sebastian Miller, strong man wrestler
and heavyweight litter arrived on this
afternoons train from San Francisco.
He is known as the Bavarian Hercules,
and is the heavyweight litter OF the
world.
Mr.. Miller is now in hard training ioi
the big wrestling contest with Antoine
FROST, champion wrestler of Austria, who
is also big man, weighing 225 pounds,
the match to come off in this city in the
near future, which should be one of the
greatest events ever seen in Los Angeles.
Mr.. Miller has standing challenge to
wrestle any man in the world for $500 to
$1,000 side, Graco- Roman style.

Uvalde, Tex, Aug. 30---A terrible
catastrophe befell this thriving little
town last night, and today there is a
mourning In many houses. The ca
lamity was entirely unexpected. The
treacherous Leona river, swollen to q
raging torrent by recent rains, rushed
without moments warning down
upon the town, submerging and wreck
ing many. houses and drowning num-
Der of people In this arid section such
destructlveness OF the elements has
never before been chronieled. In the
excitement of today 1t Is not definitely
known the number drowned. Six bodies
have been recovered. Among those
have been Identified the following: Mrs.
Joe Hatch, Miss Hattie Edwards, child
Of Mr.. Malley. two Mexican children
It was about o'clock this morning
when the flood came. The weather had
been threatening and there were omi-
nous clouds to the north and east Of
the town. The atmosphere had been
close during tho evening and these pre-
dictions of a storm were freely made.
The town settled down TO Its nights
repose without the expected storm put
ting in It's appearance. As the hours
wore and the people continued their
slumbers the dark clouds rose higher
and higher. Just as the storm broke
over the city in all Of it's fury, torrent
OF water rushed down the Leona river,
overlooking the banks Of that stream
and flooding the low lands ON either
side to a depth OF several feet. the
east side of Uvalde is built on low
ground and was In the path OF thls
wall Of water. All Of the houses IN
tina. part 0f town were submerged ana
In 'he darkness on dthrough the down.
pour OF rain could be heard cries OF
distress from the inhabitants In their
wild Efforts 10 save their own lVes aud
those of their families and loved ones.
There were number of miraculous
ESCAPES. and the resuuers and the res
cued performed many heroic acts. As
soon as those In the higher part Of
town were made aware Of the terrible
food and It's dire consequences, the
work Of rcscuing those caught In the
torrent was begun and carried on as
,upldly as possible IN the darkness ui
the night
The food is reported to have caused
heavy drainage in the valley OF the
Itaou1 north ard south of here, The
Southern Pacific bridge at this place
YVES washed away, and two other
bridges on the road east OF here are
said 10 have suffered the same fate.
Three miles of track were also washed
away. ono farmer lost al out 1900 head

horses were swept away.
