BODY IN THE wALLooMsAc.
Supposed That North Bennington Man
Took the Wrong Road.

Bennington, Dec. 90. The body Of
John Harlan, sr., was found in the Wal
loomsac river near Bennington Fails
shortly before nine o'clock Sunday night.
The unfortunate man had been missing
since early Thursday evening and no
trace Of him could be found until Sun
day afternoon when his hat was found
on the bank of the river. A number
of men at once began dragging the river
and the search was kept up until dark
without result In the evening mum
Der of acytelene lamps were secured and
the work was continued. The body was
found close to the bank and some dis
tance below the point where it is pre-
sumed the unfortunate man fell into the
stream.
Harlan was nearly 70 years Of age
and had long been a resident of North
Bennington, where he was employed as
general repair man by the Stark Wall
Paper company. He was in this vii
lage early Thursday evening and took
the eight o'clock car for his home 1t
is generally believed that he became be-
wildered when he left the car at Haynes
Corners to walk to his home, took the
wrong road and fell into the stream
He experienced severe attack of heat

ENDED IN A MUDDLE
Between Italian Champion and Polish
Wrestler in New York.

New York, Dec. 26.-The much-herald-
ed wrestling bout between Zbyszko, the
Polish wrestler, and Raiceyich, the Ital-
ian champion, broke up in a muddle at
Madison Square Garden last night. Most
of the 1000 spectators left the garden
thinking the Italian had won, but the
referee, Tom Jenkins, awarded the de-
cision to Zbyszko.
The Polish wrestler had agreed to
throw Raiceyich three times in 90 min
utes. 1t took him 81 minutes and so
seconds to secure the first fall, which
was by forward, douhIe-arm hold
After a minute interval the men
stepped to the mat again with large
majority of the house applauding the
Italian Referee Jenkins cautioned the
men not to get off the mat. After
three minutes and 80 seconds wrestling,
Raicevieh got Just such a hold on the
Pole as he had been floored with in
the first fall One shoulder, however,
was off the mat and jenkins tapped
the top man with the idea of giving
warning for him to get his man on the
mat. He said be fairly shouted the
warning but the great uproar from the
crowd may have drowned il out and in
the midst of the applause the Italian
jumped up and ran to his dressing room.
The crowd thinking that the Italian
had won, moved out of the Garden
without hearing the announcement Of
the referee. that Raieevich had not got
his man altogether on the mat and
therefore there was no course to take
but to award the decision to Zbyszko.
