DEFENSE OF COTCH
DEFEATS RUSSIAN
Russian Lion Qnits After Two Hours Of
Terrific WrestIing--He Was all in.

Chicago, April 5. Frank Catch
Americas champion heavyweight
wrestler, won the worlds title
from George Hackenschmidt, the
Russian Lion, here on Friday
night after two hours of tiercest
wrestling known to the mat game.
Although the men were on their
feet most of the time they were
after each other continually and
the superior physical condition
and gameness Of the American
finally told.
After they had been wrestling
about two hours Hackenschmidt
was evidently tired, while Gotch
was as strong as ever and the
American got his man to the mat.
Gotch tried the toe hold, but
could not execute it, and the Rus
sian finally got to his feet only to
be tossed to the mat again by
Gotch. Gotch then raised the
Russian four feet from the mat
and slammed him down, immedi-
ately getting his leg into another
twist. The Russian, who had
asked the referee several times to
stop the match, then raised his
hand as a signal that he gave up
not only the fall but the match,
and Gotch was champion of the
world.
From 5000 to 10000 people
.saw the bout and the wrestlers re-
ceived $4,000, of which Gotch's
share was $4,000. Throughout
the contest Gotch did magnificent
defense work and the Russian was
unable to solve his tactics. Once
or twice Hackenschmidt did sue
ceed in getting behind the man,
but Gotch was out of his grip like
flash and did not give his oppo-
nent time to get anything like an
effective hold. As the bout pro-
gressed the Russian became more
and more worried, while Gotch
grew stronger and more confident
and the end was evident after they
had worked little over an hour.

MEN DISCHARGED
FROM CUSTODY
Not Enough Evidence to Warrant Hold.
ing Of Clenburn Men for Shooting.

Glenburn, N d. April Judge
Davis yesterday held that the evil
dence against Sheridan and Harris
was not sufficient to bind them
syer to district court and there
fore ordered them released. They
arrived home last night and it is
needless to say that all are much
pleased at the outcome of de-
plorable affair.
Monday about fifteen of the
Glenhorn citizens that were eye
witnesses to the shooting affair
that resulted in the death of VIM.
Bennett, went to Minot to give
testimony at the preliminary
hearing. The case was set for
nine o'clock Monday but owing to
the non-appearance of the Assist
ant States Attorney Murphy the
case went over until Tuesday to
give Attorney McGee time to ap-
point another attorney to take
charge of the states case and this
delayed the hearing until Tuesday
noon. Tuesday afternoon and
evening and Wednesday and
Thursday were taken up in the
hearing of testimony. No direct
evidence was brought out to con-
meet anyone directly with the
shooting.

by friends was evident t&e moment
he stopped upon the small platform

noisy approval it was evident that
the governor did not disappoint them.

soon alarmed his friends, and mes.
senger was sent to Petersburg. KY.
and returned with DIR. Ralph Tilley,
who. after careful examination, was
unable to diagnose the case from the
external symptoms.
The doctor finally decided to admin.
lister an emetic, which readily disclosed
the cause of the sudden illness. JET

that he thought he had severed or
wrenched some parts of his internal
organs. DR.. Tiliey found garden
snake about five or six inches long
and alive. II is believed Jeffries swal-
lowed the snake when he drank ut
the spring.
Jef7ries said he was about half
asleep when he went to get the drink
OF water, and he did not remember
swallowing the snake, but In few
minutes afterward felt a peculiar sen.
sation In his stomach, a jerking and
twisting feeling. He was given stim-
ulant and he improved rapidly. DR..
Tilley jokingly remarked that 1t was
the first time he knew or ever heard
of a man having snakes from drink In o.
water.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY

T. 1t /. is sometimes a great disad-
vantage to a man, especially a man
IN public life, to have the same
name as some other man, but the
disadvantage is multiplied when
the other fellow or fellows having
the same name occupy similar posi-
tions. Representative William II.
Smith, from Marion county, can tes
tify to the truth of these assertions.
Some days ago the report was cur
rent upon the streets of Marion
that Representative Smith had in
troduced a bill into the Ohio legis
lature to repeal all Of the Sunday
laws. This rumor was passed along
and finally it grew to the proper
tons of bold assertion, and some
OF those who vigorously fought
Sunday baseball last summer began
to plan they would put up against
Mr.. Smith If he is the nominee to
succeed himself next fall. They
We're making their boasts that they
would make an unexpired termer

that 1t was an anti-Roosevelt crowd

The governor took strong ground
against federal Interference with the
matters which should be regulated by
the states and opposed the centraliza-
tion of powers at Washington. His
remarks on this point were so point

as direct slap at the president.

by the governor. He was orthodox
