VALLEY AND BRAUN

At the meeting of the Fourth of
July committe last night plans were
discussed to hold a wrestling and
boxing tournament for the night Of
the third of July to help raise funds
for the Fourth. For the main event |
it is hoped to secure Stance liou-
sci of Grass Valley to meet Pro-
fessor Braun of the vo VA ser lire
departme,. in a weltar-Wcight
charDionslIp wrestling bout. Ho't-
sci is an Indian and his first de-
feat was at the hands of Professor
Braun who lost the first fall, but
won the next two. The Grass Val
lev Union had the following in re-
gard to the last match
THE main event, catch-as-catch-
can wrestling, between George w.
Braun of the Olympic club, San
Francisco, and Stanley Housel,
champion of Nevada county. was, IN
disputably one of the best eXhibi-
tions of wrestling between perfectly
trained athletes ever seen in this
city. Both gladiators looked the
part from head to foot. They are
both fine specimens. Both men are
armored with steel-lke muscles, the
endurance of a mountain lion and
the grit of grizzly bear, to &c
