Danish Wrestler Will Fight for Bride as We'll as Gate
 Receipts,
ANDERSEN WILL WED
 SOON AFTER MATCH.
Lady in Case Is Mrs. Nina E. Weller, and Is Charming Daughter of Denmark Birth place of Athlete.

When F.. Anderson steps into the ring and onto the mat to meet Jack Virgin, of Tombstone, for the light weight championship of Arizona, he will not alone be there to defend his title so recently won, nor yet to Wln the purse put up for the winner Of the event. Still the latter will be val uable acquisition to Mr. Anderson, for it is his intention to wed, imme- diately after the match-if he wins Mrs. Nina Meller.
 The lady in the case is kere in Bis bee now, having come from Califor- nia Saturday to be at the ringsile and later to wed the man who has won her heart and hand. She IS chaI ming, plump little lady, is Mrs. AeIler. and when seen in the com psny of her future husband yesterday, ill disguised the fact that the Danish wrestler is her ideal man.
 The nuptials of Mir. Anderson ard Mrs. Meier will be a fitting climax to this, the only romance in the young wrestler's life. Like his coun- tryman, Battling Nelson, Anderson yhas fought his way step by step since he was a mere boy, meeting men who were many years his senior, as well as being much heavier. Yet he has mat record that many older wrestlers would envy.
 The romance of Anderson is said to have had it's birth in California, where he met Mrs. Meller. A warm | friendship sprapg up between the pair, and until the time Of the san Francisco disaster they were loon companions. Anderson lost every thsng at that time.
 The great earthquake separated the young people, Anderson comiL south to Los Angeles from San Fran cisco, and Mrs. Meller going to cnt of the nearby towns. Later, Ander son came to Bisbee and secured em polyment at one of the mines. 1h' wrestling game offered opportunitie. l to him to recover his lost money, ac cumulated in business in the doome' city.
 Everything is in readiness for tn nuptials, so confident is Anderson ( winning. The ceremony will tax
 place at the home of friends, and tn happy couple will go to their nev
 home on Youngblood Hill, where, b that time, all will be prepared fo their home life.
 Anderson is a sensible little fellow
 He never drinks or s'ssipates to an
 extent, an occasion ar being tn
 extent of his tra.N 8,4ons or th
 laws of nature. SincH coming to Bis
 bee he has won host of friends D his sportsmanlike bearing and geI
 tlemanly instincts. His willingness |
 meet heavier men. in view of hl coming nuptials, explains his cage
 ness to get hold of the money. Ii
 will go on the mat with all Bisbee b
 hind him, and the entire audienc
 Will cheer the pluck and grit Of th little man who is wrestling for chan
 pionsbip and a wife. Anderson will leave for Dougla on Wednesday morning. Upon m arrival there he will immediately | |. sue a challenge to Welch, the Ne Yorker, who has made overtures fc a place on the Fourth of July progral , with Anderson as his antagonist. Al
 derson's challenge will be for
 straight match, Graeco-Roman styl'
 winner to take all the purse. Weic weighs fully 40 pounds more tha Anderson, but this fact does not the least deter the Dane from
 chance. It is probable that tn
 match, if arranged, will take plac
 on the night of July 5.
