LAASTUEN
BY FARMER IAHNS

Esmond, N. D.. July 31.-1n a
wrestling match here Monday night,
between Farmer Jahns Of Grand
Forks and Con Laastuen Of Esmond.
Jahns threw Laastuen after forty-one
minutes work. but was unable to get
another fall within the hour. and the
decision was awarded to L~aastuen,
Jahns having undertaken to throw
him three times in the hour. The
bout was clean and fair. and was the
best match ever held here. Jahns is
the larger man. but had been wrest-
ling three nights in succession. and
was probably not at his best. The To-
cal man is a good one. and seemed to
have little trouble in getting out Of
many apparently difficult places. but
the greater weight of the man from
Grand Forks finally tired him out at
the end of forty-one minutes.
There will be another match in
about two weeks. between Laastuen
and Moe. who are about equal in size
and WEIGHT best TWO out Of three faIla

SHALL BOOZE REIGN?

Brawley NewS.-The fine Italian
hand of the liquor interests is in evi
dence in Imperial, in a pending dea
with F. c. Paulin, the original owner
of the tOwnsite, to remove the liquor
restriction clause from the four prin
cipal blocks within the city IF this
deal should go through it is as GER
tain as anything human can be thai
the valley will become open" in the
fullest sense inside of the next year.
In self defense Ell Centre may follow
suit, and all other towns will have
to fight the liquor interests to keep
the saloon out Given the fact that
the liquor clause is withdrawn from
the lots, there is no legal objection to
unlimited booze" and Paulin is the
man who has it in his power to make
or mar the future of the valley II
will be idle to appeal to any other
element in the case. and while there is
vet time to do SO, the temperance pee
pie should interview Paulin and use
all fair means to keep him from sell
ing the valley to the liquor interests
If this proposed move affected only
the people of Imperial we should pass
it by, on the general ground that they
have right to make their own laws,
but the influence of such an act will
be far reaching, and must come home
to Brawley, as well as to all towns i'll
the valley where Paulin was the or
iginal owner. and holds the power OF
enforcing the restriction clause.
