EXHIBITION
BY GOTCH FAILED

Dave Ferguson has a new story on
Frank Gotch which is chronicled in
the Duluth Herald:
Frank was booked as a special at
traction at the fair at Fort Dodge,
Iowa. about four years ago." said
Dave. "He had just bought a new
car and agreed to race against time
IN 1t as a special advertising feature.
OF course they think Frank a bigger
man than the president down in Iowa,
and Frank doesn't exactly hate that
publicity stuff himself. Frank and the
mayor drive on to the track in the
new a and after the crowd Is all as
sembled and believe me 1t was some
crowd. The stands were packed and
they halt in front Of the g%randstand.
The mayor stands up in the a and
introduces Frank as the foremost
citizen Of Iowa." who has brought his
car here at his own expense to race
against time for us. The mayor kept
utes with Frank bowling and the
crowd yelling its collective head of.
Then the mayor stepped down from
the car and Frank stripped of his
coat and prepared for the race. He
got down and cranked the engine. 1t
sputtered and died. He cranked again
getting hot under the collar. Then he
kept cranking and getting hotter and
hotter. The crowd began to kid him
and for about ten minutes he crank
ed there in the hot u with the crowd
Finally they had to get a team Of
horses and drag the car of the track.
Frank is trying to forget that in
cident and If he knows I told 1t up
here he will probably break my neck
the next time he meets me-"

TICKET BROKERS

the capacity of the National commits

There is a law against ticket spec
ulating in New York. but no effort is
made to enforce it. There isn't a
theater Of even ordinary prominence
In New York but what Is harassed by
these brokers'" and what they would
do in a big baseball series is q mat
ter for the Imagination.
1t has been pointed out and insist
ed. that theater owners in New York
are in league with the spectators. In
support. Of this the argument that
these operators could not get the seats
If the managers did not want them to
speculate. Getting onto this ground,
1t is argued by baseball supporters
that the National commission would
not permit such practices.
The National commission. however.
was demonstrated in the different
worlds series in Detroit. BY means
known only to themselves. specula-
tors secured blocks of tickets and sold
them at prices fixed by themselves.
The public was ready and willing to
pay $3.50 and So. and even as high as

New Railroad Work is Begun.

A crew of railroad hands consisting of
10 or l5 foreigners arrived in town Mon
day and began work on the grade of the
Collins railroad extension yesterday
morning. Starting at the foot of Tiets-
worth hill, in the borough, they are
working west around the creek bank to-
ward the back channel and the Tionesta
end of the road near the river bridge.
Frank Nelson, an experienced contractor,
who built large portion of the Sheffield
Il Tionests road between Nebraska and
Sheffield, has been retained as foreman
and will have charge of the construction
of the road, and IL is altogether probable
that as soon as they can be obtained a
much larger gang will be put TO work on
the grade. A commodious camp has
been built at point on the creek near the
watering trough half mile above Fred
Reib's house, on the bank of the creek
where the men will be housed and fed
until they reach point farther up the
creek where another camp will be estab-
lished. We believe it is Mr.. Collins
idea to haye the grade completed and
possibly most of the rails laid before
winter sets in, and if the fall weather con-
tnues to be good cars may be running
before the holidays.
