OHIO BOY BESTED.
Saturday Nights Wrestling Match
Won by James Alldredge, OF
Leon.

The Wrestling match in the Armory
last Saturday night between James II.
Alldredge, of Leon and Jack Whitmer, of
Ohio, resulted in victory for Alldredge,
he winning three out of the four falls.
1t was Whitmer's first defeat and after
the match ended he addressed the aud
fence and acknowledged Alldredge to
be the best man he had ever met on the
mat.
The first fall was won by Whitmer in
10 minutes with farther arm and cross
hold. The three succeeding falls W ere
won by Alldredge; first time in q min
utes with back hammer lock and English
cross bar; second time in a minutes
with scissor hold and half Nelson; third
time in Ia minutes with quarter Nelson
leg and arm hold.
Both men are good to look at from a
standpoint of physical development
Alldredge is the taller and heavier OF
the two, he standing six feet and weigh
ing 220 pounds. Whitmer's muscular
development is extraordinary. For his
size and weight 195 pounds he possesses
great strength.
Preceding the principal match the
spectators were entertained by pre-,
liminary contest between Messrs
Bedier and Brown, students at the Char.
iton Commercial College. Both young
men are from Leon, the home of All
dredge, and their work on the mat was
such as to suggest they had learned
something of the game from Southern
lowa's star wrestler:
| DR.. D. @. Storie was referee of The
match between Alldredge and Whitmer
About 200 spectators witnessed tn,
event, which was good exhibition il
which the best man won and every on,
| in the audience was well satisfied

Born on Field Of Waterloo.

There was recently living in town
in Germany a woman who was born
actually on the field of Waterloo while
the battle was raging. Her mother.
an Irishwoman of noble family, had
married German officer and followed
him to the wars. She was present at
every battle in the Peninsula in which
he fought. Then she went into Bel
gium, and on the night before Water
loo she, with another woman, lay out
for hours in the wet under. trees and
hedges. While the battle was still
raging she was taken i'll, and was car
ried into a shed, where her babe was
born. 1t was terrible cradle for the
little one; it had been used as a field
hospital, and all around lay the shat
tered limbs which the surgeons had
amputated. But child and mother
throve. The baby was christened

settle down in Hanover.

Knives for the One-Armed.

What is that thing over there?"
asked a man on a high stool at
lunch counter.
The thing he was pointing at was
shaped like sickle, had a handle,
and at the very tip Of the blade was
a pronged fork.
That said the waiter. "Why.
that's one-armed knife. Ever see
one before? And he passed it over
the counter for inspection. Nearly
all restaurants keep them in their
stock of cutlery nowadays.
You see, the one-armed man can't
cut his meat with the same motion
that you or | use. He must bear
down on his steak or chop, and to
make the work easier for him some
wise chap invented this sickle shaped
knife with fork attached.
