true they were there in an early day
but by constant bunting into by our

Today we saw ladies trying to get

ladies' shoes and garments were in
an unfit condition for travelling as
you may suppose but what else

such snap, would probably have
waded through and given vent to q

expressed their disgust and every

Scientific Wrestling

A fine bout without gloves, nose
pieces, pads, or bangs was pulled off
by mutual consent in Extra Tuesday
evening when John L. Hensley and
his business partner, Matt Thielen,
got into the sports through playful

the struggle lasted, first one had the
best of the struggle, then the other,
until, with his arm located in the
proper position, his leg twisted like q
vine on tree, With an inlet of oxy.
gen and herculanean effort, John I.
lifted his contestant and simply COW
cred his manly bosom with glory.
His name as a great wrestler will 20
down into history with Gotch, Burns
