Oklahoma Excursion February Is, 1909.
Remember the Date.

Years ago long headed business men
realized that land was good property.
If they followed their judgment, those
men are all rich today. The OppOrtun-
ity to get good lands at low prices are
not all gone, but they are going fast.
Don't let them slip by you, because in
just little while every acre of land in
the United States will demand price
that is based on what it will produce,
and then no one can buy and hold for
a profit. There ale good lands to be
had at low price and on February Is,
big excursion is going to get some OF
it while it can still be bought right. If
you believe that land is good property,
see me for full particulars as to the
trip. F. l.. AKERs, =.

Wrestling at Sioux City.

The local sports at Sioux City last
week arranged q match for Frank
Gotch, who was here few weeks ago,
whereby he was to throw local
wrestler three times IN an hour. This
he easily accomplished on Friday even
ing in % minutes, after which Burns
who was present made one of his char
acteristic speeches and offered to
throw anyone in the house in ten
minutes for $25. There was silence for
a moment, when well dressed
stranger walked up to the stage and
offered to accept the wager. He said
his name was Pickett, and that he was
a travelling salesman from Cleveland,
Ohio, but that he had practiced wrestl-
ing little in school. Burns went at
him, but do his best he seemed unable
to throw him, and at the end of ten
minutes gave up the $25, with the re-
mark that he was no amateur.
Then Burns offered to bet him that
Gotch could throw him for wager OF
500, which the stranger promptly &C
cepted, and the match arranged fol
Saturday night. The Sioux City
sports felt like thirty cents when they
discovered on Saturday night that the
stranger was Ole Marsh, of DEBORAH
and that the whole deal had been pre-
viously arranged by the trio, wht
went there together, and that the
match on Saturday night was nothing
but good exhibition.
