Orion, Ill, March 1.-TWO Rock Is

from Peoria. Snow is being shoveled
into the boilers Of the engines in or.

the coaches. The water tanks in the
engines and tenders alike have long

two trains has two engines, it being
thought that they could get through
the snow but they failed when they
struck the big drifts several miles

BROWN AFRAID OF

Refuses to Come to Rock Island

DEMANDS BIG GUARANTEE

the Albany Grappler.

Carl Brown of Waterloo, indicated
Iowa wrestling champion in the light
class of the middleweights, has got
cold feet and refuses to come to Rock
Island to meet Jesse Slaymaker of Al
bany at the Illinois theatre next Thurs
day evening. Brown. at the time of
his match here with Cyclone" Tommy
Thompson, agreed, virtually, to come
of his weight whenever wanted. In
fact, he promised to come back. Now,
when everything is arranged for his
return engagement, he pushes up a
prohibitive guarantee so that he can
get away from the match He said,
somebody who can throw me, and you'll
have to put up the coin before l give
anybody the chance" And so the Wa,
terloo idol is to remain at home and
bask in what sunlight he can find there.
The wrestling game in Rock Island. I'M
impeded by his decision, will continue
to go on.
MATCH JUST THE SAME.
Brown is not the only wrestler in the
country, and somebody else capable OF
giving the Albany grappler hard run
in match will be lined up before an.
other day passes by. Three fellows
are on the line-Strickland of Des
Moines, Gamble of Burlington and Har
