HANSON LOST MATCH.
Winner 81 Many Wrestling Bouts In
Brattleboro Thrown Twice by Young"
Olson OF Newfoundland.

Fritz Hanson went down to defeat
Tuesday evening before Young Olson
of Newfoundland in the second of two
championship wrestling matches at Is
land park The first was held Monday
evening when Leo Columbus lost easily
to Olson. The matches were for the
Newfoundlander' middleweight cham
pionship belt. Good sized crowds watch
ed both matches and Olson made hit
with the clever work while Columbus
looked like a false alarm
The match Monday evening was over
quickly. heavy rain was falling and
the mat was water-soaked. Olson evil
IDENTIFY was out to win the decision in the
shortest possible time and he had the
Italian on his shoulders in 13 minutes
with a crotch and body hold. The Sec
ond round was shorter than the first,
the Swede taking II in four minutes and
80 seconds with a cradle hold. Hanson
refereed.
The match Tuesday evening was 30
minutes late in starting, and the crowd
was impatient over the delay. A. w.
Wilcox was referee He is the one
whom the fans would not stand for at
the Auditorium last winter and HIS
work Tuesday evening was on a par
with his former appearances here. With
in a very few minutes of the opening
both men saw that they were running
sisting the timekeeper, the heaviest part
of his duty being to announce the time
at five minute intervals. Olson contin-
ually slid off the mat and when the
men went back to the centre a minute
of clubbing would follow as to their
| positions. Hanson usually won out in
the arguments and the referee listened
instead of ordering the men to work
! There was no question to the square,
ness of his decisions on the falls.
Olson weighed at least 10 pounds more
than Hanson and for the first time since
| Hanson has appeared here he was the
| aggressor all through the match. He did
| not play the waiting game, but tried to
| keep on top of Olson all the time. Oh
| son is a clever man and is as quick with
| his feet as with his hands. Hanson has
not appeared against a better wrestler
| in this town. Olson was in the pink of
condition. The mat was wet and light
| rain fell during a part of the match, the
| covering over the stage not being large
| enough to completely protect it. The toe
hold was not barred, although Olson
| claimed that he came here with the I'M
| Outstanding that it would be. The first
| fall went to the Newfoundander in SO
| minutes and 20 seconds Neither round
! was fast except in spots. Both men
| were wary and knew that the other was
good a man as he ever had wrestled.
| Plenty of fancy work was seen at times,
| but usually the wrestlers were foxy and
| the spectacular was lacking The Sec
ond fall went to the middleweight in 80
minutes and 20 seconds with a body
lock- Hanson asked for another match.

Rev. Mr.. MetZger had the confidence
of his home town. Randolph, where as
pastor Of the Congregational church he
has been active in social betterment IN
addition to the work of his own parish.
He was given 1926 votes against 1877 for
Fletcher and 142 for Howe. Two years
ago Gov. Mead got 2S7 votes in this
town and Charles D. Watson, his DEM
ocratic opponent, 25s.
Mr.. Fletcher was complmented by a
good vote in his home town, Cavendish,
getting 191 votes against 1877, who voted
the Republican ticket at the last election
Howe had 81, five more than his party
two years ago. and Metzger 81
Rutland went Democratic by vote of
1878 for Howe, CSC for Fletcher and 593
for Metzger Col. Roosevelt was greeted
by a large crowd there.
Burlington, the largest city in the
state, went Democratic 1860 to 1858 for
Fletcher and 416 for Metzger. This was
a drop OF 230 in the Republican vote and
a gain Of 1872 for the Democrats.
To give vent to local pride st. Johns
bury rolled up III votes for Howe Metz
ger got 374, beating Fletcher's 3O5. This
represented a cut OF $50 in the Republic
can vote and an increase OF 1851 for the
Democrats.

Democratic as in 1910, and cut 249 votes
off the Republican candidate. Metzger

sives, and the Senate 20 Republicans and

This despatch undoubtedly underesti-
mated the Progressive strength in the
legislature, but Thompson's figures are
much larger than the estimates from any
other source. The total vote of the

The strength of the Progressive vote
was the feature of the election, while
the Democrats increased their vote over
two years ago. The falling off of the
Republican vote was marked, and the
returns showed that great part of the
detection went to the Progressives, al
though the Democrats gained, and some
of the Republican vote went to the Pro-
hibition ticket. The Progressive leaders
claim that the result shows they have
a good chance to defeat the Republic
cans in the presidential election in YER
mont, and the Democratic leaders are
pleased with the vote.
In round numbers the Republicans lost
40 per cent from the vote for Prouty,
the governor elected in 1908; the Demo-
Gratis made an increase of 80 per cent
over their gubernatorial vote in the last
presidential year, and the Progressives
cast 35 per cent of the Republican vote
for governor four years ago.
Congressman Frank L. Greene of St.
Adams in the first district and Frank
Plumley were reelected without mate
rial opposition.
Chairman F.. C. Williams of the Re-
publican state committee said:
Returns from PIG cities and towns
show a majority of representatives in
those towns of over so which insures
the election of Mr. Fletcher and the rest
of the Republican state ticket"
Frank E. Howe of Bennington, cand-
date on the regular Republican ticket for
lieutenant governor, said:
Il am not particularly surprised at the
result. 1 think that this indicates that
Roosevelt has at least a fighting chance
to carry the state in November. The
Republican plurality makes it proper for
the legislature to elect the Republican
state ticket when it convenes in Octo-
ber'

and 3S towns.

IN JAIL FOR STEALING POTATOES
Dana Stafford Drew Bead on New
Yorker, with Result that Four Pleaded
Guilty In MunIeipaI Court.

Four New York city boys, employed
on the new sidewalk contract by Con-
tractor j. c. Connors and who had been
in town three days, appeared before
Judge w. r. Daley in the municipal
court Tuesday morning and were given
terms at the county Jail at hard labor
for petit larceny. They were Jack Cole,
is, William Keinckle. 81, George Sayne,
II, and William Klause, 10, and they
were charged with stealing potatoes from
the farm Of Dana Stafford on Guilford
street Cole was sentenced to not less
than 30 days at hard labor in the county
Jail and not more than 40 days, while
the other boys were given not less than
two months nor more than three months.
Mr.. Stafford had been losing vege-
tables all summer and had been watch
ing for the thieves. On Monday morning
he saw four persons in his potato patch
and went after them, carrying a shot
gun. Three Of the boys escaped, but
Mr.. Stafford had a bead on Cole and he
stood until the farmer reached him and
secured a good look at him so as to be
able to identify him later Cole gave
his name and said he was living with
the other three youths in the shack near
Elm corners with the Italians who are
employed on the new sidewalk job The
police were notified, John Doe warrants
were issued, and on Monday evening
man E. G. Worden and Deputy Sheriff
c. E. Mann went to the shack and ar
rested Cole. He told who his compan-
ions were that morning and they were
placed under arrest.
In court Tuesday morning each of the
youths, who were poorly dressed and APP
peared typical of lower New York city
type, pleaded guilty States Attorney F. E.
Barber asked that they be given Jail
sentences in order to stop the petty
thieving that was going on in this To-
cality. The boys said they never had
been arrested before although the states
attorney claimed that they had police
records in New York city. They came
to town last Friday, having been brought
here by contractor. They were with
out money when they struck town, with
the exception of Cole, who had so cents,
which he spent for a pair of overalls.
The boys said that all they had to
eat at the shack was Italian bread and
that they stole the pota toes because they
were hungry. They slept in the shack
with about so Italian laborers. They
were taken to Newfane by Chief Will
son and Deputy Sheriff Mann. Cole wa
| given shorter sentence than the 9TH
