A wrestling match was pulled off
yesterday at high noon that had
the appearance of fake. The
contestants were Fred Christensen
and a stranger who gave his name
as johnson. A man named Wan
Winkle-a distant relation Of Old
Rip-was induced to bet 500 a
gainsst $50 that Christensen could
throw Johnson three times in an
hour But Christensen didn't do
1t. Instead he himself was thrown
once and of course Van Wrinkle lost
his money. Both wrestlers left town
on the afternoon train. The af-
fair didn't look straight to many
of the boys and they will have
nothing more TO do with Christ
iansun.
