Champion Threw 26O Pound German
Over His Head.

Chicago, March. 17.-Frank Gotch,
champion wrestler of the world, in his
bout last night with Henry Balm,
known as Samson, the $50 pound
German champion, threw his oppo-
nent so hard as to cause a slight frac-
ture of the Germans skull. The in
jury was at first supposed to have
been serious and Acting Chief of Po-
lice Schuettler ordered Gotch to re-
main in the building. At the hospital,
however, it was said Bahn's injuries
were not likely to prove fatal. Gotch
was released when the first examina-
ton was made.
The men were to have wrestled two
out of three falls. After they had
struggled for seven minutes and TWEEN
-ty seconds, Gotch obtained a leg hold
and tossed the German over his head
Balm landed on the back of his head
and became unconscious.
The match was awarded to Gotch.

PRESIDENT FINDS HIS BROTHER
Illinois Central Head Finds Him After
Forty-Eight Years.

Paducah, KY, March 17.-After a sep
aration of 48 years Charles Markham,
president of the Illinois Central rail-
road, met and identified his brother,
john I. Markham, in the private car of
the former near Memphis. There was
a great contrast between the two men.
John Markham had grown gray and
grizzled since he last saw the new pres
ident of the Illinois Central. Old times
were brought up, and when the train
arrived at Paducah both had gone over
the events since they had parted.
AS soon as the pair recognized each
other the elder brother said: Charley

on horseback to the dentist and you
had a tooth pulled?''
Yes, I do" replied the younger

BODY OF WOLFE
IS NOW HELD HtRE
AWAITING b|IR|A
Brother-in-Law Of Suicide to
Arrive Tonight From the
Family Home

The body of w. H. Wolfe, who mur-
dered the two Overman children on
the evening of July 4 and who then
hid himself in a ravine about three
miles from the scene of the murder
and blew off his head with a rife. lies
in the morgue at Ell Centro, awaiting
interment. 1t is probable that the
body will be buried in the Evergreen
cemetary east of this city. 1t was
brought here yesterday, after the in
quest
Rev. Oliver Saylor, pastor OF the
First Methodist Church in this city,
made the grewsome discovery. He
had gone to the district for hunt
with his brother law, w. T. Hum
mel, and while making his way across
the open country three miles north
of the Overman ranch, he had the
startling experience of running across
the body of the man so long sought
for.
The location was three miles direct
ly west of the Overman ranch and
about 600 feet north of the county
road. At this point there is a ravine
only a few feet deep. Evidently Wolfe
had gone there in the night time, as
the place is unprotected by brush o,
underground, and in day time would
be exposed to the full glare of the sun
Wolfe had taken a sitting position
against one of the banks OF the ra'
vine. His pipe was found on the TOP
of the bank, just few feet from
where his body was found. He had
cut a section of arrow weed with a
notched end for the purpose of push
ing the trigger of his gun, and held
the gun in one hand against his head
while he pushed the trigger with the
other hand. Both gun and stick fell
across the dead mans legs. The gun
was a 1856 Winchester, and the bull
let tore away large portion OF
Wolfe's skull.
Immediately after the body was dis
covered, Mr.. Overman, father of the
murdered boy and girl, was notified
and he Immediately identified the bod,
as that of Wolfe.
A. coroners jury held an injuest
yesterday forenoon, after which the
body was brought to Ell Centro by c
A. Shafer.
A brother law of Wolfe, Austin
Warnich, who resides at the famil,
home at Ramona, San Diego county
was notified and is expected to arrive
here tonight.

new route on it's return trip. This car
made the trip from Yuma to Brawley
yesterday and stayed over in Brawley
last night. No dificulties we're ex-
perienced on the trip and the driver
declared that the road is in much bet:

on which the race was made.
County Supervisor Wills has several
gangs of men at work on the northerly
end of the new road, brushing the
sandy stretches, and Supervisor Boyd
has had Billy Horan in charge of a
gang of men fixing up the toughest
places, on the southerly end of the

The Westgard touring party, which
is making a transcontinental trip in
automobiles, is due to arrive in Yuma
on the 22nd inst. 1t will be met at
Yuma by Brawley men and will be
piloted across the new "All Ameri-
can" route. It is believed that the
recomm endation of the Westgard
touring bureau will be given to this
route, and that virtually settles the
matter of the line of the transconti-
mental highway for the south so far
