Goteh Defeats Fritz Hanson.
In their match at Dubois q Gays hail
Friday evening, Young Gotch got q deci-
sion over Fritz Hanson, worlds welter-
weight wrestling champion. The match
was to be Graeco-Roman style, in which
I holds below the waist are barred, This
is Gotch's favorite style, but Hanson was
not used to it and resorted frequently to
low holds, out OF force Of habit. The ref
cree, A. A. Niebaum, warned him repeat-
edly, and finally, in the last and decisive
bout, gave the third fall to Gotch on a
7 foul by Hanson.
The match was the hardest and longest
yet seen here. Hanson showed trenlen-
dous strength, while Goteh had superior
science and endurance. Hanson weighed
about ten pounds the most.
In the first bound, Cotch seemed to
play waiting game. Hanson took the
aggressive and at the end Of 10 minutes
got very clean and quick fall, taking
Gotch from his feet with chancery and
hip lock.
They battled on for AZ minutes the sec
ond time, Gotch going after his man and
finally getting him with head and arm
hold.
Both fought furiousIy for the third
fall. Some remarkable bridging was
done by each. Hanson got excited and
careless in his holds, and after repeated
warnings by the referee, at the end OF az
minutes, the third bout was awarded to
Gotch on a foul.
There was, naturally, some difference
of opinion over the respective abilities OF
the wrestlers. Each says the other is the
hardest proposition he ever met.
In the collar-and-elbow match, Town
send won two straight falls over Clark, the

Horse and Auto Mishap.
As Roy Howard was driving home Sat
urday night from his work on the Forest
street bridge, be saw an auto approach
ing the covered bridge from the south
just as he was about to enter il on the
north side.
His horse, lively Western colt, began
to exhibit signs OF fright while the car
was still some distance of, but he contin-
ued to urge it forward and had gone not
more than third across when the horse
suddenly wheeled around and threw Mr..
Howard and his companion, Charles
Bent, against the side OF the bridge.
Both were badly bruised and MI Bent.
who tried to prevent a runaway. was
dragged little ways.
The horse ran up the hill to the Elwin
]
pieces, hung one " heel onto the low limb
of a tree and then, clear of the wreck.
started of towards Braintree with the in
teDtion, no doubt, OF toasting freedom in
something besides q watering trough.
He had only gone as far as Charles HoI-
mans, however, when he was stopped.
In the meantime, w. P. Flint, who was
near by, saw that the horse was likely to
become unmanageable, and stopped the
auto before it entered the bridge. Its oc-
eupants, young man and q middle-aged
woman, seemed to be foreigners, and
their car had no number tag on the back.
The tag in front read $40, or 540O, VT,
but was so defaced that it was difficult to
tell whether there were one or two ci-
pliers. In the last Vermont Auto register
no number over 1000 is given and no $40
The driver of the car was not inclined
to linger for close scrutiny and shot
across the bridge and out OF sight as soon
as the way was clear.
IL mobilists were not so painfully shy
when accidents occur and would not try
to hide themselves in a cloud OF dust
when an eve is turned in their direction,
they would appear more innocent Of
wrong intent and by standing still ~
long as desired, might escape running
into more trouble.
