GOTCH DEFEATS
 JESSE REIMER

Des Moines, May 3.-Before 5000 people, the largest crowd that ever attended a wrestling match in Iowa, Frank Gotch, worlds champion heavyweight grappler, tonight defeated Jesse Reimer of Des Moines in two straight falls, 1Sa4 and 15 minutes, respectively.
 The first fall was conceded by Reimer after Gotch had almost broken his leg with wicked toe hold Reimer twice succeeded in breaking the hold but failed at the third attempt.
 The second fall came after some spec tacular sparring, in which Reimer suc- ceeded in staying behind Goteh half the time and breaking six different holds.
 The house went wild when Reimer got the champion into several dangerous holds, but Gotch broke the holds at will
 Finally Gotch worked Reimer into a body-and- head hold and slowly crushed his man to the mat.
 Thousands of out-of-town sports at tended the match.
 Dr. B. F. Roller of Seattle refereed
 Farmer Burns, George Turner, Law renee Piergue and Chris Pierson and Emil Klank were among the more celebrated wrestlers present
 Considerable money was wagered as Reimer has strong following in Des Moines.
 Gotch received 40 per cent of the gate receipts of s4OOO house.
 Arrangements were made after the match for a finish bout between Dr. Roller and Reimer in June, to be held bara

MURDERER STILL AT LARGE

Bessemer. May S.-(Special )-With smoke pouring from big smoke stack and a large force of men at work, the announcement that there would be a big stack go into blast this week becomes fact and by Wednesday the hugh stack will be turning out 200 or more tons of pig iron daily. The furnace is in prime condition and there should be no reason why it should not do a splendid business for the company.
 The fact that the stacks are to be blown in has given a stronger feeling among the business men as they realize that every plant working means heavier pay day each month. The shutting down temporarily of the rolling mill for this week will lay off number of men, but 1t is intimated that the mill will go back to work by next Monday, although this is dependent on orders received during the coming week With the two fur naces now preparing to blow in and the rolling mill working every industry in the Bessemer territory will be making good time and employees having work enough to keep the wolf from the door,

The equipment of the new High school auditorium is arriving daily and as soon as 1t is fully installed the teachers of the High school will hold an Evening With the High School,' for which beautiful programme is being arranged and rehearsed.

Murderer Still At Larae.

The killing of Harrison Owens, the aged negro, a few miles from Bessemer Sun day morning by Randall Woods was one of the most brutal crimes in the history of the county, and while the officers followed the trail of the murderer all day they were unable to run him down, although they have a fair idea where he is. But the fact that he is among the mines at Blue Creek Is known by the men making the search. The body of the old man was brought to Kennedy's today and prepared for burial

playing on the part OF our men. ano

In the afternoon the college snc
town teams played a very clos,
