should Gotch retire after this winters
work he believes Cutler will succeed
him as the American champion.
The opinion Of Gotch is also

experts who noted the wonderful
Improvement in Cutler over last
years FORM"
Cutler is we'll known in northern
Minnesota. Five years ago Cutler
was marshal of Tenstrike. He was
at that time big, over-grown kid"
He had ambitions to enter the
prize ring and he fought several good
fights in this vicinity. He was
clever and he defeated every man
whom he met, among whom was Jack
Parres. ~
Cutters first defeat was at the
hands of the Kerry Kid" of
Superior. This fight was fought
over at Cass Lake, and the referee,
a Superior man, gave Cutler decid-
eddy the worst of it, holding him in
the clinches so that the kid" could
hit Cutler at will.
Since that time Cutler was with
the John L. Sullivan company, and
other travelling trqupes, with which
he learned whole lot.
Jim Barry's fight with Cutler took
all of the scrap" out of Cutler, Jim
knocking him out. Since that time
Cutler has devoted his attention to
wrestling, with good results.

INCREASED ACTIVITY
IN INDUSTRIAL FIELD
Report Of Bureau Of Statistics
Of Commerce Department.

Washington, Nov. "a largely in
creased activity in the industrial field
is Indicated by the September figures
of internal commerce as reported to
the bureau of statistics of the depart
ment of commerce. and labor. The
1mp1 oVement is most pronounced in
the coal and iron trades The lum.
Der movements during the month
were fairly heavy, though for some
sections September reports show
slight decreases from the larger move
ments recorded for the earlier months.
The market receipts of agricultural
products, including grain, rice and
cotton on the whole show a normal
development. The movement of live
stock, and particularly of meat prod
uctE, at principal packing centers,
mainly on account of the smaller ex-
port demand, shows a more stationary
condition. The traffic activity of the
railways during the mouth was con-
siderably larger than a year ago.
While the number of idle cars at the
end of the month had not yet disap-
peared a rapidly growing car shortage
began to manifest itself, which is like
1y TO interfere to some extent with
the movement of the great staples dur
ing the rest Of the year.

"klD" CUTLER IS DOING
WELL AS AT WRESTLING
Frank Gofch, Worlds Champion Mat
Artist, Takes Cutler as His
Wrestling Partner.

The Bemidji friends of Charles
Cutler (known to the sporting world
during the past few years as Kid
Cutlerj will be pleased to'learn that
the young giant is making a splen-

Cutler has been training diligently
during the past three years and his
improvement as a mat artist has
been very marked, during the past
year. - --..
During the past year Mr.. Cutler
has been coming up" very fast and
he has met and held his own with
some of the best wrestlers in the
country. Cutters rapid advance
ment has attracted the attention of
Frank Gotch, the worlds champion
wrestler, who has engaged him as
his training partner for all of his
important bouts.
A recent dispatch from Chicogo
says of Gotch and Cutler:
Frank Gotch has engaged Charles
Kid Cutler as his training partner,
while preparing for the champion
! ship battle with Giovanni Raicevich,
Nov. 9, at the coliseum.
"Gotch was much impressed with
the showing Cutler made in secur-
ing a draw with Zbyszko, the Polish
giant, Friday night at the coliseum.
He has maintained that if Cutler
had worked on the Poles legs, he
mi ght have secured fall.
The training Cutler will receive
while acting as Gotch's chief
wrestling partner in the next
two weeks will be of great benefit

At midnight Oct 81 the duty on cham
