Glen UIiin Man is After Winner Of
the Proposed Rockler-Downa Match
Wants to Bet Hundred.

The wrestling game seems in fair
way for being revived in this part Of
the state and challenges are flowing
around like water with all kinds of
talk about the money that Twill be"
put up for certain matches.
AS the proposition stands at the
present time, as near as the sporting
editor can figure it out, Rocker OF
Fargo wants to meet Downs, former
iy of this city. but now in the western
part of the state, for purse and a
side bet, and. of course, the gate re-
ceipts, and R. H. Mathvick of Glen
Ullin comes to the front with letter
to the Tribune in which he states that
he would like to meet the winner of
the proposed Rockler-Downs match
"for no less than a side bet of $780,"
Possibly in the course of time the as
pirants for mat honors will get some
real coin and put it up, and about that
time the Tribune will give some more
publicity to the game, but not before.

opening of the Dry Farming congress
at Mandan, which has been awaited
with interest for the past few weeks.
The interest and enthusiasm speaks
we'll for the future of the slope if the
farmers put into practice many Of the
good pieces of advice which are given
them.
"Practicableness" is the keynote of
the convention. Each speaker tells
of what may be done in practical
manner by practical farmer so that
practical results may be obtained.
There were fully three hundred and
fifty people assembled in the opera
house at Mandan when the conven-
rtion was called to order Wednesday
morning by c. l.. Zimmerman, presi'
dent of the North Dakota Dry Farm
