NAUGATUCK NUGGETS

Alex Swanson, the we'll known wrestler, has been. challenged by Chief War Eagle, champion Indian wrestler of the world, whose present address is Buffalo, N. Y. ,. He, says he has beaten better men than Swan son ever thought of beating and he will bet S100 that he can throw Swanson twice in an hour. He says he has not been defeated in over a year, but he does not give the names of any of the ''n&ables" that he had has match on with Young Duchesne of Fall River for next Thursday night and after that he will be ready to talk business with Chief War Eagle. If the big chief has the money to bet and will post forfeit to show that he means business it is likely that he will be accommodated. He may not know it, but no matter how good a man he is, he will find that he is up against a pretty hard proposition when he tries to put Swansons shoulder on the mat twice in one hour.
