IOWA'S WRESTLERS HOPEFUL
Coming to Nebraska in Search of a
Lost Championship.
BEST OF THE HAwKEYE SCHOOL
o'Connor, the Only One ON Last Sea-
sons Team Who 10 Coming
Again. WIN BE the
Heavyweight.

The Iowa wrestling team, which meets
Nebraska at Lincoln. has been practically
chosen. o'connor. in the t-heavyweight
Gran. In the welterweight; Ballard. In
the lightweight and Gilliland in the mid
dleweight classes are the men who will
in all probability make the trip for Iowa.
o'connor is the only man who was on
the Iowa team which lost to Nebraska
last year. He was thrown then by Elliott.
the Nebraska heavy. who outwe.shed
him oyer twenty pounds. This year the
classes are divided closer. and he will
have a man near his own size to meet.
Oconnor Is q high-ciass wrestler In his
class. and as he has had several years
experience he will make the best col
lege grapplers at his weight hustle to win
from him. He has been university cham
pion for two years. He won his match
from Vincent Of Ames with ease In the
recent tourney.
GiilIland. the Iowa niddleweight cham
pIon. 10 less experienced than the other
wrestlers on the team. but managed to
win from weyrauch. the Ames foot ball
star, In their recent match. He fights
desperately. and often saves himself
when apparently In q hopeless situation.
What he can do with Miller, the former
Hawkeye. who represented Nebraska last
year. remains to be seen, but II Miller
is stin In the game. the Iowa boy will
probably be outclassed.
Gran. who win probably enter the well
terweight class for Iowa. Is wonder at
his weight. but belongs in the light
weight division. In this class he won
easily in the tourney with Ames. but win
probably be asked TO 10 against the Ne
braska welterweight as he Is better than
the Iowa welterwelght champion and
Ballard Is about as good In the light
weight division. He may be-reiied unon
to put up q desperate battle in any event.
Ballard, the probable entry In the
lightweight division. Is very fast and
clever. and has had considerable expert
ence. having won the title In his divi-
sion at the university for the last two
years
Director Schroeder has coached the
team for the last four years. Although
the Cornhuskers at present hold the
wrestling championship OF the west,
Schroeder feels considerable confidence In

A city tourney for this summer Is also

expense that would be incurred In pur-
chasing suitable prizes and the fact that

Took Refuge in Church Cellar.

Augusta, March 25.-John Jones,
a negro, disturbed the peace of a
quiet Sunday afternoon in Augusta
and made a most remarkable get
away. John shot at. another negro
and made a dash for the cellar of
the Green Street Presbyterian
church. The cellar was about half
filled with water, not having been
pumped out since the recent freshet
covered the streets of the city.
AS soon as the report was spread
that the negro had gone into the cel-
lar, the officers began to gather and
within few minutes there were
many on the scene. They discussed
plans of attack and finally decided
that it would be best to get a boat.
This they did and while one officer
rowed the boat, another in the bow
held a lantern with one hand and a
revolver in the other.
I'm the name of the law, John
Jones, surrender" said the officer
with the gun, but there was no re-
sponse save the echo and the gentle
sound of the oar as it came in contact
with the water. The officer roWed
into every conceivable section of the
cellar but jones was not to be found
and he is still at large.

Claimed Heir to Throne.

Macon, Ca, March 24.-The death
of John S. De Montmollin, Con-
federate veteran, here yesterday has
brought to light documents that
claimed to show he was the rightful
heir to the throne of Spain. The pa
pers which were secreted in De Mont
mollin's houseboat on the Ocomulgee
river are said to be of such convinc-
ing character that at one time the
then head of Cambridge University,
ENGLAND, went so far as to offer to
equip war party to invade Spain
in an effort to seat the American
claimant.
De Montmollin claimed he should
have become king when Alfonzo,
father of the present monarch, began
his reign. The documents show sew
eral communications from Alfonzo
XIII in relation to the claim. They
also show an offer of a large sum of
money from General Weyler, to head
a flibustering expedition from Cuba
but De Montmollin refused to con-
slider the offer.
The American claimant was II
years old and was born in Savannah,
Ga. He was a marine engineer by
profession but for some years has led
a secluded life.

WANTS TO DIE IN PRISON.
SO-Year-Old Forger Asks Court to
Give Him Long Term.

New York, March 23.-Charles w.
Bartlett, an S0-year-old forger and
swindler, the oldestknown to the New
York police, plead guilty to-day to
attempted forgery in the second de-
gree. He expressed the hope that he
would be given long term that he
might die in prison. Justice Swan,
in general sessions court, sentenced
him to five years in Sing Sing.
Physicians, who have examined him,
declare he cannot live that long.
Bartlett has been known to the
police for half a century. In his
younger days he was regarded as
one of the cleverest pen men in
America.
I'm the oldest crook in the busi-
ness," he told Judge Swan, "and I
feel that 1 am going to die. I want
to die in prison. That's where I be-
long. 1 have been a crook all my
life, but I've never robbed a poor
man. My stealings never profted me
anything all 1 ever stole has, in
turn, been stolen from me. 1t doesn't
pay to be a crook, judge"

TURNED DOWN FARMERS.
Governor Blease Gave the Places to
the City Men.

Senator w. S. Hall has made a
statement which appears in the Gaff-
ney Ledger Friday, relative to the
matter of appointing supervisors OF
registration for Cherokee county.
The senator says in part:
about two weeks before the SEN
ate reopened, l recommended to the
governor for appointment, R. II.
Mitchell, an old Confederate soldier
and farmer; J. H. Harris, another
farmer; and w. l. Jones, farmer.
The governor ignored the recon-
mendation and appointed Rev. B. l..
Hoke, OF Blacksburg; DR.. w. l.. Set
tlemeyer and o. D. Hancock, of this
city. l have nothing to- say about
the men, so far as know they are all
competent. 1 am sorry that the gov
ernor ignored the claims of the
farmers, for they are largely in the
majority in this county and the op-
portunity is seldom given them to
hold office of any kind. They deserve
some consideration"
Senator Hall further discusses the
matter and touches upon the law,
which states that the governor shall
appoint upon recommendation of the
senate if the senate is in session, and
if not in session, subject to the con-
sent of the senate.

Handed Uncle Pistol?

Roanoke, March 24.-Detetctive
Tom Felts, who arrived here this af-
ternoon with Sidna Edwards, said
that Sidna confessed to him this af-
ternoon on the train that he handed
his uncle, Floyd Allen a pistol the
morning of the shooting at Hills
vile. The prisoner said he was
standing in the court house door
when Floyd came by and asked him
to give him his pistol. He did so,
but later got it back from Allen after
the latter was wounded. The pris-
oner denied that he fired shot.
