MADE A GAME FIGHT.
But Bobby Reakes Again Ably Defended
His Title of Champion.

The lovers OF good clean sport were
given the real article at the opera house
last Saturday night when Bobby Reakes
once more proved himself entitled to the
claim Of champion mixed wrestler of
the world, defeating Geo. Mont.
gomery. Of Wisconsin, although the
Milwaukee lad put up game fight and
at first seemed hard proposition for the
champion to go up against.
Montgomery was in fine form and is a
much younger man than Reakes, quick
as lightning and supple as cat.
Reakes was in the pink of condition,
and, although he did not look it, much
the stronger Of the two men, there not
being an ounce of superfluous flesh on
him.
There was no doubt in the minds of
the spectators as to the outcome of the
match after the first 20 minutes of con-
testing on the mat, as the champion had
his mans weak points all sized up and
then it was a question of securing the
proper hold for the finish which occur.
red after 43 minutes from the time of
entering the contest and the boy from
the Badger state lost the first fall, the
hammer lock and half Nelson doing the
business. The second fall was secured
by Bobby in just 10 minutes, the same
hold being used.
Some quite amusing boxing by local
talent preceded the wrestling match and
highly entertained the spectators, as it
was more in the nature of smuggling than
boxing. neither of the principals having
much knowledge Of the art.
There was large attendance, several
ladies being in evidence, and all were
we'll satisfied that it was by far the best |
exhibition of the kind ever pulled off in |
Alma. 1t is intended by Mr.. Reakes to
pull off several more of these matches
in this place during the winter, and |
he will soon issue challenge to meet
any man in the world at 40 pounds.

At the last regular meeting of Camp
Darragh No. 3, N. L., V. s.. the follow
ing resolutions were unanimously
adopted
WHEREAS, the Divine recruiting Off
Ger has drafted from our ranks of earth

That. while we bow beneath the heavy
burden Of sorrow laid upon us by the
death of our esteemed comrade, we also
rejoice to know that our loss is his gain.
Deaths icy fingers has snapped asunder
the locked bars of life's harbor, and the
earthly battleship, manned by our de.
parted warrior, has loosed her moorings
and swept out over the rolling waves Of
eternity, bound for the port of peace and
safety. Our departed comrade leaves us
a knowledge OF work we'll done a 10y al
faithful service to his flag aud country,
and we feel that his mastering from our
midst is but his promotion to an office
or trust and honor in the higher ranks
OF the mighty army beyond the vale.
As he does duty along the silent picket
line, his martial tread will still fall up
on our listening ears, and the siivery
echoes of his voice will float down to us,
assuring Us that all is well" along his
watch. Here and there around our
pathway fall the sacred petals Of his
virtues, filling memory's casket with
choicest gems, which serve 10 bind the
silken cords of love for our comrade in
arms still closer because of his noble
manhood. We hereby express our
deepest sympathy TO his family and
loved ones, in this their hour of bereave-
ment and affection, assuring them that
we also drink of sorrows bitter cup in
the loss OF our comrade.
Rcsolred, that printed copy of these
expressions Of regret and sympathy be
