With Chief Two Feathers and his manager, Jack
IONeil safely slowed away somewhere back in Montana
instead of being present carry the wrestling match
with Ole Marsh Dune Mcmillan the veteran conqueror of
Marsh and the Indian agreed to at the Spokane the
alter last night in the place Of the chief.
1t offer the generosity Of which wasn't appre-
cated by of the spectators when they told
that Mcmillan could have secured match with Marsh for
$4,000 side, which sum he throwing away chance
to win by taking the Indians place.

At that is was greater, more scientific exhibition of
wrestling than would have been given with the Indian
Marshs opponent. Two Feathers could not have put up
the magnificent work done by either Mcmillan Marsh
in that first % minutes of wrestling. He hash the science
the knowledge of the game-to get into or out of the
holes through which Ole and Dune travelled.
The Indian is dependent upon his strength and slipper
mess to get through match With Mcmillan and Marsh,
every moves picture" and not Of strength is
wasted in such bout as that given last night
Although Mcmillan took the Indians place without
hesitation and without squabbling the money he
throwing away in future match the bad blood etween
1.-THE two cropped out before the match started and
suited in belligerent speeches by either wrestler.
There has been i'll feeling between the two Since
the decisions given against Marsh at the Auditorium
those rolling falls This increased when Marsh cha
enged the winner of the Two Feathers Mcmillan match
which happened to be the Scotchman.
But although Marsh to wrestle the winner, O'Nei
got him with the money first and the match with Two

Last night Dune started the ball again by calling aten
ton to his claim that Marsh had sidesepped him for the
Indian but that he just square enough to go
way, Notwithstanding he had not trained for the bout
Then it Oles turn to get mad over the announce
men of Mac that he had defeated Mars and the latter
did some strong talking to the effect that Mcmillan would
know he in fight this time.
It with these pleasant exchanges that the two men
came together for the first fall.
There wasn't any soldering in that bout. Each man
went in with all the stuff there in him and it
doubedy the best exhibition of science, strength and
clever wrestling witnessed in the city.
The two men exactly opposite in their style of
work and tactics used Mcmillan continually worked to
get on top in the down and then work in his fatal half Mel
Ison and CROTCH against which had proved nvul
nerabe Every move of the veteran reached toward that
lend Once in position and the bury Scot always able
heretofore to his strength and weight In crushing,
suffocang wedge which down his and placed
him almost helpless This had happened before with the
Indian and Marsh.
But Marsh was much faster last night than in his pre-
vous go with Mcmillan and his speed and thickness saved
him numerous times when "Mac" would shove him over
with the lock.
Time after time Ole worked out of that dangerous hold
spun rolled in flying bridge for the top He never
stopped instant ut kept boring into Dune with vicious
which, while not showing results plainly at the time
was evidenced in the Scochmans slower work and loss
of strength in the succeeding bouts.
That bout contained more speed skill and real work
THAN all of the other matches put together because either
doing his best at pace which was surely chop
ling both down.
