POUNDED HIS WIFE.
Mrs. Weber Presents a Serious Charge
Against her Husband.

Chris Webber, of North Mankato,
was arrested and locked up Monday
on the charge of assaulting his wife.
The constable being away, Justice S..
A. Walrath made the arrest. Webber
resisted and struck Mr. Walrath in the
face. but was overpowered. He was
taken to st. Peter today by Mr.. Wal
rath and Constable Hintz to be ex-
amined in the probate court as to his
sanity.
Mrs. Webber informed the justice
that her husband has beaten he1
frequently for some time past, and
Monday pounded her so much that she
bled freely. His actions have led he1
to believe that he must be mentally un-
balanced. Mrs. Webber has refrained
hitherto from informing anyone of he1
troubles.

blood and to save the women and

given safe conduct. Gen. Kitchener
granted the request so far as the women
and children were concerned, but in

be absolutely unconditional. To this

Rooney" but Mr.. Reynolds asked for
order and respect for the wrestlers.
He then introduced each of the
wrestlers and the referee, Ed. Hamell,
of Boston, whose decisions proved to
be very fair and gave general satisf ac.-
tion. Mr.. Reynolds announced that
John G. Wise Jr. had been select
ed as the official time keeper, VIM.
Pelletier time keeper for Rooney, and
D. T. Bowen time keeper for Faulkner.
The weights were announced as not
over 1872 pounds.
There were numerous calls for
Rooney, and he responded by saying
that he was glad to be back to wrestle
Faulkner again. He considered that
he had done well to throw Faulkner at
| the last match. Faulkner had asked
him to wrestle at his weight tonight,
and he had complied. Faulkner had
asked him to give up the strangle hold,
which was his best hold but he had
given in, and had givenFaulkner all that
he had asked for in all things. He was
prepared to let the best man win.
Faulkner then advanced and contra
dicted some of the statements made by
Rooney He said that he had tried to
have Rooney come to Canada to
wrestle, but unsuccessfully. He had
not barred the strangle hold, but had
agreed to it The chief of police of
Mankato had forbidden the use of the
hold. He had come here to have a
square match and he would thank the
audience if it would keep quiet and al
low the wrestlers fair show.
The first bout started at 9:0S p. M,
and was an admirable contest of skill
and muscle, lasting 1854. Faulkner
was on the aggressive throughout this
bout. but whenever Rooney had an op-
portunity he went after the Canadian
roughly, which caused the sympathy of
the audience to sway more strongly in
the foreigners favor. Faulkner finally
threw his opponent with a partial ham,
mer lock and body hold.
The second bout commenced at 9:45
p m. and was won by Rooney in 1858
with half Nelson and crotch hold.
Both men were aggressive, and Rooney
was more agile than in the first bout.
The third bout commenced at 1913
p. m. and Faulkner was somewhat on
the defensive until he secured a
straight hammer lock from which
Rooney could not escape. There was
a fearful. straining of muscles for
several minutes, but Rooney had to
give in to save his arm from being

THE WRESTLERS.
What They Have to Say Tuesday of the
Match.

Mr.. Hamell, the referee, left for
Chicago Wednesday, and expects to
go to Omaha and Colorado to attend to
some business matters before returning
to his home in Boston. He states that
the match Monday was as, good one
as he ever saw, and he has seen and
refereed many. He states that both
wrestlers are at the top of the profes.
sion. He thinks that Faulkner has a
little the more skill and Rooney little
the more muscle of the two. On the
whole he considers the men about even
ly balanced. and he was greatly pleased
with last nights performance. The
referee is paid by the winner, according
to the articles of the agreement.
Mr.. Faulkner and his trainer, Jim
Mcdonald, will remain in the city a
day or two longer, until the former be-
comes thoroughly rested, and then they
will go direct to London, Ontario, where
Mr.. Faulkner has class in wrestling.
He states that Rooney's victory was
fairly won, and considers Rooney the
greatest wrestler in the United States.
why" said he to Free Press re-
porter, II would bet my money on him
against any wrestler in this country.
He can throw any of them, Roeber with

man, and has improved since our first
match. l should like to wrestle with
him in Canada, and he could pick up a
good deal of money there if he wins"
Mr.. Faulkner states that he has
wrestled with only one man since his
first match with Rooney. He con-
siders the match last night as we'll man.
aged and the referee fair, and has no
complaints to make about anything. He
had expected to win, and declares that
the match was the strongest contest he
ever participated in His losses on the
two matches, including his training ex-
penses, railroad fare, etc, were about
81, 900.
Mr.. Rooney and his friends are feel
ing jubilant, but the former freely ad-
mits that the match Monday was the
greatest that he ever was in, and he ex-
pressed himself that he did not know
that he ever cared to go into such a
contest again. He will remain in the
city only brief time longer. as he is
due to participate in a wrestling match
at Beloit, Wis. Thursday evening, with
Carey Osman, Turk. He will then
go to New York to wrestle August
Biedermann.
The net profit of the match to the
Athletic club was over 500.

Rooney Out WrestIes the Cana
dian Again.
A'Fine Exhibition of Muscle and Science
at the Opera House Monday
Night.

John J. Rooney, of Chicago, threw
Bob Faulkner, of Guelph, Canada, in
three out of five bouts at the opera
house Monday night. The house was
packed, and great many were OBJ
liged to stand up, unable to
obtain seats. 1t is estimated that
fully one thousand people were in
the opera house, and in all the vast au-
dience there was not single female
form visible, although there was moth
ing in the wrestling match which was
not entirely proper. Probably no time
in its history has the opera house held
such crowd when an admission fee
has been charged, and it showed that
the people of Mankato and vicinity are
interested in wrestling and that pros
perity has struck this vicinity good and
hard. The receipts from the sale of
tickets were over $500.
Faulkner was the first to step upon
the mat, and was closely followed by
Rooney and each was enthusiastically
received. Probably those who desired
to see Faulkner win outnumbered
Rooney's friends, but the latter were
largely in evidence. and each good
move or skillful escape was vigorously
applauded by the friends of the one
making it,
City Editor J. E. Reynolds. of the
Review, was master of ceremonies and
filled the Office with ease and grace.
His announcements were heard
throughout the opera house. and his re-
quest that the audience keep as quiet
as possible was complied with. He
stated on behalf of Rooney that the
saving tactics employed by the later at
the last match did not constitute a
foul. He said that the same rules,
those of the Police Gazette, that were
employed at the last match would ap.
ply to this one. and the strangle and
throttle holds would be barred. The
wrestlers had come to Mankato again
to settle who was the best man.
There were cries of Faulkner" and
