Oberdorf was in excellent condition
and was confident of success through
out the entire battle. "Frenchy" was
put out in the eleventh round after a
fierce and swift fight between the two.
"Frenchy" put up a strong fight but
was entirely outclassed by Oberdorf,
and nothing but his cautious and
tricky actions saved him from being
put out before the tenth round. He
fought a low game and hugged the
ground close. taking advantage of
every clinch to avoid the severe blows

now a prisoner in the Cass county Jail.
He stands charged with obtaining
money under false pretenses and vio-
lating the state insurance laws.
Recently the wheels of fortune have
been turning adversely for Marston. 1t
is reported that he had already made
a date to preach at Kearney next Sun
day, but it now looks as though fate
had decreed for him berth in jaS in

build, and his clothes have evidently
served him for long period. From
general appearances he does not look

Island. He insists that his business
in the past have been per-
fectly legitimate, and that he is the
