The Terrible Turk Vanoutshed.


"The Terrible Turk" whose name
alone is sufficient to instill fear into
the mind of the average person, and
who has won many match on the
mat, met his Waterloo on Tuesday
evening at the Princeton armory when
he tried his skill with Ben Hass, the
local wrestler. 1t was not, however,
without a great struggle that Ben
downed him and as result the
Princeton boy sustained broken rib
in the first bout-the fall being
effected in 20 minutes. Undaunted
by the injury Ben tackled his op-
ponent the second time and succeeded
in again putting his shoulders to the
mat in something like 20 minutes.
Considering the record of "The Ter
rible" and Ben's condition in the
second bout this is remarkable work
Two preliminary bouts of ten
minutes each we're pulled off-one be-
tween Fred Hass and Pavelka, which
was pretty exhibition of scientific
matwork, and the other between two
youths, Schmidt and Drescher. Each
round was draw.

Philip M. Woodward, the expert

Judge Carroll A. Nye, who was
elected to the bench last November, is
an able jurist and handles the cases
which come before him like veteran.
He is a very genial gentleman
naturally humorous-and has made a
very favorable impression upon the
members of the legal profession and
other attendants at court.
The grand jury failed to find an in
dictment against Will Farwell,
charged with obtaining money under
false pretenses. Neither was an in
dlctment returned against Harry
Scott, charged with assault in the
second degree. An Indictment was re-
turned against O. A. Laden, bound
over to the grand jury from Justice
Norton's court and charged with
assault in the first degree. laden
was arraigned and through his attor-
ney, c. A. Dickey, pleaded not guilty.
Complaint was sworn out by D. G.
Wilkes, Thos. D. Anderson and
Andrew Brodeen, and sets forth that
Laden discharged shotgun at them
on April 70, 1910, while they were en-
gagged in opening up a road in accor-

Andrew Lindberg returned on Mon.
day from Saskatchewan, where he
went to look over the country with a
view to buying land. But Andrew
has had enough of Saskatchewan.
Of all the desolate places he has
visited in his lifetime he says that is
absolutely the prize taker. Andrew
thinks it was about 60 degrees below

An Alleged True Story

Now this is true story: Bill is
known everywhere as a "good fell
low" He has his faults, but his
heart is in the right place that's
what everybody says. Nobody ever
came to him for help and got turned
down. He had a family; none of our
crowd had ever seen his family, but
we knew he must be good to them,
even though he never did appear 20
60 home.
One evening five or six good fel.
lows we're sitting in the back room
of downtown saloon, and Bill was
telling a story. A woman entered.
She had dark shawl over her head
and we couldn't see her face, but she
came directly over to our table.
"Gentlemen,'' she said, "Christmas
is coming, and I have nothing for the
little ones. Can you help?"
Of course, it was Bill who responded
first. He jumped up and plunged bis
hand into his pocket. We could hear
the rustic of bills, and we knew that
something more than mere silver had
found its way into the trembling hand.
Bill was blushing when he came back
to us. We were shamed into Offering
something, but he would have none
of it. He seemed confused-a little
ashamed of his charity-but he would
not let US help. And it was Just like
Bill to change the subject and &C
right on with his story.
And the woman? Oh, that was
Bills wife. We found out later tina
that was about the only way she couli
ever get any money out of him

they mourned deeply when they took
their last farewell.

whether the judges of election had
