 son and StonehouSe,
ANDERSON CLAIMS TO
 HAVE BEEN BILKED.
Money Paid Stonehouse by Douglas Committee Fails to Find Way Into Palm of Dane, Who Won From Virgin

An aftermath of :he Douglas wrest- ] ling match participated in by Jack
 Virgin, tine Tombstone wrestler. and Emil Anderson, the Danish athlete.
 who has been downing all aspirants | for mat honors since coming to Bis | bee, lies in fres-for-all wrangie be- itween Anderson and Manager Jimmie i Stonehouse.
 i Arrayed on AndeEson's side of the i case aTe the doughty litue wrestler and Mrs. Anderson, while opposed % them in the opinion as to-ths proper ] disposition of the prize money are | Stcnehouse and Macnsil, who pfomot- ed the match and claim credit for the discovery of the Danish champion. [ Had it not been for the fact that a marriage took plsce in the Queen | hotel at Douglas immediately after the close of the Virgin-Anderson match, the Dane might have had to | fight his wordy battle alone, but he i is now more than ably assisted by 1 the woman who took his name. 1 She has already put to rout Stone house and the managerial retinue,
 and swears vengeance on the heads | of those who. she alleges. have robbed Iher husband of what he rightfully earned by winning from Virgin. The trouble all slarts from the agreement between Anderson and his managers. When arrangements were | being made for the match to be held at Douglas. the matter was entirely | in the hands of the Douglas execu- tive committee. Stonehouse, Mac
 neil and Anderson put their heads to- gether and decided that they would
 try to get control of that part of the program themselves. Being experts
 in the game of promoting. the gentle 1 men had no trouble in convincing the l Douglas committee of their fitness.
 It was agreed. so Stonehouse says.
 that of the s100 purse hung up for the ! event, $25 was to go to the loser. | Added to the losers end of the purse was to be his travelling expenses to and from the scene of the match.
 This. so it happens, amounted 10 $10. and the sum of $S5 was accordingly
 paid to Virgin.
 1 The winner was to receive the bal
 ance of the purse and one-nalf the gate receipts-efter SS5 had been de- ducted by the executive committee for advertising expenses. Then the eX- pens of the management of the affair
 had to come from the receipts, as well
 as the advertising done by him and
 the cost of the preliminaries.
 The receipts at Wednesday nights
 entertainment reached S131. The ex-
 penses were s169; so that left Ander- son after being declared the winner,
 to the bad
 Anderson claims that Stonehouse has done" him. Stonehouse claims
 that Anderson owes him money both for advances, amounting to S70 and
 for his one-half of the shortage in cured.
 Anderson vows he will "beat the head off of that Stonehouse." and
 Mrs. Anderson says that if he does not do the job to her liking, she | will start it all over herself and do it up brown.
 Now, Jimmie Stonehouse is peace, ahly-inclined citizen. and so far as
 can be learned has kept out Of the l fighting game pretty well. It is fear, ed by his friends that he will be ua- 1 able to keep pace with the fair Anna
 zon who swears to have revenge for | the alleged wrongs done her husband
 Anderson's-by the permission of | Mrs. Anderson-statement is as fol- ! lows: When We arranged for this | match, Stonehouse, who was my man. | ager, went to Douglas to close the matter up with the committee there The committee had offered S100 and one-half of the gate receipts as an in ducement for the event. As it hap peIS, the receipts were not heavy,
 and the expenses were high. Immdiately after the match, the i finance committee of the celebration paid over to Stonehouse the SI00 which 1t had agreed to hang ID as purses Stonehouse es once setsled
 with Virgin, who I beat, paying him
 s25 as his part of the purse and $10 for his expenses from Tombstone to | Douglas.
 When I wanted my money, Stone
 house offered to give me S31. and after
 ward raised his offer to $50. refus-
 cd both of these offers.
 | Then we went to the committee together, where, in the presence of the committee, Stonehouse agreed to
 settle with me after we got to Bis bee. Well, I let it go at that, think
 ing that We would come to a settle men there.
 This afternoon, when we got in here, ray wife and I went to Stone hcuse's office. He had four or five
 other men there. He was afraid that
 1 wold keep my word and lick him. I guess. He again offered to pay me
 $50, but I refused it. came from a country where men are on the square, and as I am honest in every | thing that l do. I did not think that I would be treated this way. "If Stonehouse doesn't turn over ny share of that money. I will make
 him present of 1t. Still. think he Is a lying grafter.''
 Then Mrs. Anderson took hand in
 the proceedings, saying: Some man ! <I.< &-r1
