THAW'S SECOND TRIAL DELAYED
Little Chance That II VIII Be Called
Until January.

New York, Nov. 25.-The second
trial of Harry Kendall Thaw, set for
one week from today, will again be
postponed, and there is little chance
that 1t will be called until some date
well along in January. The decision
to ask for a postponement has been
agreed to by both sides. 1t is due
partly to the fact that the task of Sc
lecting a jury would be made doubly
hard by the approach of the holidays
and the prospect before the talesmen
of spending both Christmas and New
Years day locked up under the care
Of court bailiffs, and also to the fact
that Thaw's counsel has applied to
the court for permission to inspect
the secret evidence presented before
the lunacy commission during the
progress of the first trial AS an
added cause for delay there is rumor
that the attorneys now representing
Thaw may apply for a change OF
venue, declaring a fair trial for their
client in New York county is impossi.
BILE. Such a move, II made, would be
based upon the alleged unfriendly at.
titude of many of the local papers
and the extent to which the evidence
was printed and read in this county,
District Attorney Jerome will seri.
ously oppose the granting Of change
In the scene of the trial.

A BIG UNDERTAKING.
Wasem Offers to Throw o'leary ana
Carroll Each Twice Within Hour.

Wasem Offers to Throw O'leary and
Carroll Each Twice Within Hour.
Can Oscar Wasem throw Joe Carroll
twice and likewise touch Jack o.
Learys shoulders to the mat twice and
all in sixty minutes? This is the task
that Wasem has set out for himself
Saturday evening and he has stih
side bet against Carroll and O'Leary
that he can do it.
There is no doubt that interest In
next Saturdays match is going to
eclipse that shown in any other recent
athletic event in Norfolk. Norfolk
people know how clever OLeary is on
the mat and they sized up Joe Carroll
Monday evening. On the other mana
Wasem's shoulders are broad enough
TO carry heavy load.
The conditions for the match next
Saturday at the Auditorium are that
Wasem score four throws in sixty min
utes wrestling time with thirty min
utes intermission.
Saturdays match came as a result
of a challenge from OLeary Monday
evening and was agreed to after the

FIRE THREATENED LANDMARK
Original McCIary Store Building Look
ed Booked to Burn.

Fire for a few minutes Monday
evening threatened the old McClary
store building, one of the early land
marks in Norfolk.
The building discovered on fire about
s O'Clock Monday evening was the Sec
ond store building to be erected in
Norfolk. 1t was for years occupied
by j. S. McClary with general mer'
chandise stock.
The old McClary building was
moved a good many years ago to the
rear of H. A. Pasewalk's implement
store. Mr., Pasewalk uses the old
frame building in the rear of his brick
structure for storing pipe and steam
fittings.
The fire Monday evening apparently
caught from the outside of the old
building. 1t was discovered by boys
and was kept in check with buckets
until the fire department arrived. The
loss on the building is nominal.
The McClary building is the oldest
of all the ancient store buildings thai
now survive. The old mill store alone

Why Kaufman Likes wasem.

10. B. Kaufman has always taken a
special interest in Oscar Wasem, the
Lincoln wrestler who is In Norfolk
just now. For one reason Wasem Is
n baker by trade. But back OF 1t all
Is n visit Kaufman made to Lincoln
recently. Kauffman's shoulders are
the shoulders of an athlete but he was
somewhat startled to have Lincoln
man hail him on o street as "Wasem,"
Kaufman was Interested enough to
look Wasem up and in passing through
Norfolk Wasem has always taken oc-
casion to call at the Kaufman bakery.
Kaufman is probably as strong as any
man in Norfolk but Monday evening
Wasem offered to throw the second

TOOK TWO STRAIGHT FALLS.
wAsEM oVERPoWERED THE ENG
LIsH CHAMPION.
CLOSE CONTEST WITH CARROLL

An interesting Preliminary - Wasem
viii Undertake to Throw Carroll
and o'Leary Each Twice Within an
Hour Saturday Night.
Oscar Wasem of Lincoln took two
straight falls away from Joe Carroll,
an English champion, at the Norfolk
Auditorium Monday evening in as gen
uine and square shaped a wrestling
match as the most exacting sport
would wish. Wasem was quite clearly
the better man. The sturdy German
took the first fall in 22:25. He got
the second fall in 1908.
The attendance at the match was a
trlne disappointing but the crowd OF
spectators were representative and
were anything but disappointed at the
mat war put on by Wasem and Carroll.
There was plenty OF enthusiasm
Monday evening, much more than on
the recent appearance of Farmer
Burns in Norfolk. There was tumult
of applause when Lawrence HOFFMAN,
fresh from the state university, threw
his dusky opponent, Bruce Whlte'
Hoffman took two straight falls out
Of White in the preliminary which
proved to be quite an event.
Wasem and Carroll had not been In
action long before 1t was apparent
that the German was the better man.
He had all of CAROLS cleverness, had
strength to spare and was quick
thinker. In both instances Wasem,
when he finally took the game In his
hands. scored his falls with a rush.
At times Wasem saved himself from
dangerous positions by splendid dis
play of strength.
But Carroll was undeniably clever
and the two men were close together
In weight. Carroll stated after the
match that he was not in the best OF
condition.
Wasem got the first match on an
arm sizzle and leg lock. The rail-
came with rush after Carroll had
forced the aggressive.
The last fall Wasem got on back
arm hold, an arm and crouch and a
back roll. The two falls took Wasem
thirty-eight and half minutes.
Wasem, whom Norfolk people saw
on the mat for the first time Monday
evening, is giving Nebraska place
In western wrestling. He is thirty-one
years old and has been wrestling four
teen years. His recent performances
have been bringing him into the lime
light.
Carroll gained the middleweigh'
championship in English wrestling a
few years ago. Since then he has
made reputation in America. mum
Der Of years ago he fought in the ring
In America.
Jack OLeary of Omaha, on his way
TO Dallas, was an interested spectator
Monday evening. A challenge issued
by him at the close of the match DIRE"
from Wasem an offer to throw OLeary
and Carroll each twice in an hour OF
wrestling. These conditions were put
into a match for next Saturday In Nor
folk.

then in CAT. Hoffman let the darKy
take the aggressive but when he nnal'
" got into the game it was all over
in a flash.
Hoffman after the startling surprise
he sprang Monday received an ovation
at the hands of the Norfolk crowd
present. But the secret of it all was
that Hoffman in Lincoln spends a

or two has picked up something about
wrestling.
