WRESTLING MATCH :.
WAS A GOOD ONE
StefOnOwicZ is Thrown in First
and Third Rounds--First
Round Lasts An Hour

The most exciting wrestling
match ever held in Bowbells took
place at Lyons opera house last
Saturday evening, the partici-
pants being S. A. StefonoWicz
Of this city and Shorty Albert Of
Minnesota. The match resulted
in two rounds in favor of Shorty
and one in favor of Stefonowicz.
The first round lasted a few
minutes short of an hour. Stef-
onowicz is a great. deal stronger
than Albert but is less skilled, in
the science of the game. Shorty
knew this and refused to work,
hoping in time to play Stefon-
owicz out. In this he succeeded.
He would always manage to get
under each fall and would let
Stef tussle with him until he
saw a chance to get up again.
This performace was repeated
many times during the course Of
the first round until Stef was
getting pretty much all in when
|,Shorty got to work and landed
Stef OH his back.
The second round lasted but a
few minutes and resulted in fa-
vor of Stef. The third also lasted
but few minutes and resulted
in favor of Shorty. An anus
ing feature of the. contest was
that every time Shorty got into
a tight place and thought he was
to be laid on his back he would
yell "strangle." This would
cause Stef to loosen his hold and
Shorty at the same time would
watch his chance to get the best
hold he could. At another time
when Shorty was almost on his
back he said he had cramps in
his leg and this again caused
Stef to let go of him.
The match was refereed by A.
|B. Corey, who either did not an
derstand the game or was doing
|:all in his power to give the
match to Shorty. Corey never
opened his head during the en-:
tire contest and let Shorty viol-
ate the rules of the game as
much as he pleased.
At the close of the match
Shorty announced that Stef was
the best man he had went. up
against in four years. The hall
was then cleared of chairs and a
dance followed which was at
tended by quite a large crowd
who all had a good time.

+ Andrew Norberg is securing
a patent for a device to place on
automobile tires to keep them
from slipping while running ov-
er. either snow or muddy roads.
The advantage in this device ov-
er the old chain is, Mr.. Norberg
says, the new contraption does
not cut the tire or in any other
way tend to wear it out like The
old chains do, and also at the
same time has larger hooks
which drives the machine
through places where the ordin-
ary chains would be Of no use.
Mr.. Norberg has already been
notified that his contraption is
patentable, and all that remains
necessary for him to complete
his patent right is the remittance
Of a small fling fee to the Unit
ed States patent office. He is at

Why are bankers interested in
farming? The bankers busi-
ness is measured by the products
of the farm. The banker deals
in money and credits, both of
these are the greatest when the
products of the farm are the
largest. Buying and selling is
then at it's greatest activity. The
number Of dollars circulating at.
such times is large and credit be-.
ing good the same dollar in act.
ual money may do service ten
times thru checks and notes with
out once changing hands. There
fore, it is vastly to the banke's
interest that the products os the
farm be good. It increases the
two commodities in which the
bank deals and allows the bank:
the use them to the best ad-
vantage.

who goes out to his farm each
evening and returns the follow
ing morning, since the cold
weather set in has been making
the trips under difficulties. Dur
ing the summer he made the
trips with a buggy, but during
the past ten days has been
travelling on horseback. He
says that horseback riding is far
from being pleasant during these
frosty mornings, though there
is not enough snow to make
sleighing good, and there is too
much in places to making the
use of a buggy practicable. In
order to avoid all these discom-
forts in making the trips he tells
us he is planning on the:purchase
of an aeroplane, and we learn
he has written to several differ
ent airship factor les for prices.

Ohio. Mrs. Campbell had re-
ceived a telegram on Wednes-

but no particulars were given.
The letter Saturday stated that
Mr.. Higgins had dropped dead
suddenly on Tuesday of last

TO BURN
kENMARE HOTEL
Kenmare is Scene of Arson
Outrage--Narow Escape
For Several ROOmers

kenmare, N. d., Nov. IL. -
One of the most dastardly crimes
in the history Ct Kenmare was
committed when some one fired
the Florence hotel with two gal
Ions of kerosene, the hotel being
full of sleeping people. Forum
ately, through the bravery of
Melvin Chairman, night clerk,
and the efforts of others the
building was saved, as was also
a large number of lives. AS a
result the interior of the entire
lower story, except the off ce, is
badly charred, and the DINING
service is out of commission for
several days.
Melvin chatham, who was on
as night clerk, went out through
the dinning rom to the kitchen
at 4:30 and replenished the fire,
returning the same way. There
was nothing irregular about the:
premises. He called some
railroad men. then sat down in
the office to read. He later heard
footsteps about the building but:
supposed this was the railroad
men getting up. In a few min
utes there was an explosion in
the rear of the building. Rush,
ing to the dinning room ChatmanF3
was met by smoke and flames.
He turned in the alarm, then on
hands and knees crawled back to
the little sitting room where
he found the blazing can of
kerosene. He tried to reach it
but found two chairs in front of
it. Risking his life he tried to
remove it, but succeeded only in
getting it about eight feet. He
then attempted to get out. When
near the dining room door he
was overcome by smoke and by
mere accident and good luck fell
by the door and got out. He:
then got long poker ran around
to the side window Of the sitting
room and with this fshed out the
blazing can. The fire was then
subdued by Babcock extinguish-
ers. The round house whistle
blew but a very few short calls,
for some reason, which was not
heard by many, and by others
was confused with engine calls
which are numerous at all times
Of night. This made the res
ponse very slow. 1t was not ne
cessary for the department to
turn on water.
During all this time there was
an interesting scene all over the
house. Guests hurried out,
some in their night clothes, some
half dressed, any way to escape.
However, the most narrowing
experience was that Of w. Lub-
ben, Joe King and J. W. Ander-
son. p,
These boys were sleeping in
the bed room off the sitting room. "a
When the explosion came, the
volume of fire was so dense it
forced a flood of flame through
the transom into their room.
They sprang from their beds
dazed by the confusion. One
seized a chair, smashed a wind
ow, and all three scrambled out
into the snow in their night
clothes, badly singed. Lubben
was severely burned while one
of the boys cut his foot on glass.

Sunday Morning
Minot, N. D., Nov. 20-That
Engineer Isaac Wright and Fire
man William O'Leary met their
death without warning in the
Great Northern wreck at Tun-
bridge yesterday morning is
evident from the position in
which the bodies were found af-
ter the wreck. Fireman o.
pLeary's body was pinned be-
tween the boiler and the tender
and was not found until the en-
CINE and tender were pulled
apart. O'Leary was evidently
at work shoveling coal into the
firebox when the crash came.
There is a possibility that Wrigh4
might have seen the headlight
on the freight before the crash
came, but he had no time. to
jump. It was storming badly
and the freight had merely a
kerosene light. His body was
pitched out Of the cab window
by the force of the collision.
