IL Sheriff Smith had had his way,
the Record would not have been is
sued last week, nor this week. AL
though this official has done appar-
emily all in his power to make mat
ters as unpleasant for the editor OF
this paper during the time the lat
ter was in quarantine; nevertheless,
we have managed, under great stress,
to get the paper out and with only
slight delays.
1t was represented to Sheriff
Smith, who Is the tine officer,
when the Record editor was taken
i'll with what was pronounced small
pox that in order to protect certain
legal advertising then running, that
the paper must be issued-otherwise
the Record would not only suffer con
siderable pecuniary loss, but that
the advertisers would be put to no
small amount of annoyance.
There being but one person in Pi-
oche at the time competent to operat
our linotype machine, the sheriff was
'rpucst'u u see tnlS party ana en-
deavor to secure his services. 1t was
suggested to the officer that as an
extra precautionary measure, that the
interior of the REGARD building could
be thoroughly fumigated before any
one went to work there thus re-
movin5 every possibility OF danger
from the spread of disease germs
from this source We obtained no
satisfaction from the officer on this
score; ct he did promise to go and
interview the linotypist for us ana
that he would return later and re-
port. But the sheriff never came
back, nor did he perform enc single
act which would tend to give us as
sif'ance Ia a moment of distress. We
were completely ignored from that
time on and neither the sheriff or
any member of his official staff
made inquiry if the inmates of the
quarantined home were in need Of
anything.

A Bone In His Craw

But the sheriff has harbored a
-.ancied grievance against this paper
and its management for number
OF months, for no other reason as
far as we have been all
lie to discover, than that the
Record had made mention last year
of the fact of the escape from the
county Jail of some six or seven
grand jury prisoners and by way OF
editorial paragraphing suggested that
remedy against any future deliver
les might be found in the purchase
by the county commissioners of q
photograph; that such an instrument
might supply sufficient entertainments
to the prisoners to induce them to
stay In nights. The sheriff felt
greatly insulted at this little sal.
~ OF the paragrapher; but when we
printed the report of the late grand
jury, oh my,-he went into a frenzy
and out came the tin shop ad. OF
course, II is wonder that we ever
survived the shock. But we printed
tho report Of the grand jury as a
matter of legitimate news to which
our readers were entitled and we
would do the same thing again un,
der any circumstances.
Wanted to Grub II In"
There is ample evidence to us that
the sheriff took advantage of the
opportunity offered by our help
lessness TO rub it in" on us to sat
isf vindictiveness characteristic of
the man. We do not care one whit
whether Sheriff Smith likes the
way we conduct this paper or not,
nor whether he likes us or not; the
fact remains that this paper has
treated him with a whole lot more
consideration than he has deserved
In fact we feel somewhat guilty in
having been derelict In our duty in
not having called to public mind mat,
tiers In which we firmly believe he
betrayed public trust Since his
incumbency, the office of sheriff of

no need fer further alarm. People
on the outside need have no fear of
contracting the disease if they come
to Phoebe now.
The board of education never has
considered the situation serious, and
therefore the schools have been kept
open.
With exception of the two cases in
the Walker family, the disease appear
ed in about as mild fern as it
could and yet be called smallpox.

MARS
BOUT; DEL|VUK
GETS DECISION

Although the records will show
that Frank Du Cray lost his match to
Charles Delivuk at the Auditorium
last night, the Little Giant had a
perceptible edge on the Austrian un-
til he was pitched headlong over the
ropes, landing on his head after
7-foot fall The terrific force of the
blow dazed him for several hours af-
terwards and when he went on for
the second fall he wrestled like a
wooden man. proving an easy victim
for his opponent.
Until the accident the match was
magnificent Dukes only advantage
seemed to be in forcing the battle
taking the aggressive practically all
the time for the last / > minutes. The
two men were on their feet, strug-
Cling for advantageous holds and
Delivuk had his arms wrapped
around the Frenchman's body. He
rushed Frank across the mat and
without realizing that he was close
to the ropes, flung him violently from
him and stepped back in defensive
position. Du Cray was slammed
against the ropes and the force of
his impact pitched him up and back
wards for a drop OF seven feet. He
alighted on his head on the floor of
the hall. He attempted to rise, but
fell back and for hours afterwards
he was groggy and dazed. He in
sisted on going back to the mat al
most Immediately. although he was
entitled to a l0-minute rest. He re-
fused the aid of his seconds and
handlers. disregarded the referees
injunction to get rest and climb
ed back for the second period. 1t
was not until the men were mixing
it for several minutes that the audi
ence realized that Frank was not
himself He was still unaware of
what he was doing, and went through
his work mechanically. He showed
no steam. no ginger and none of
his old class, as the big fellow wal
lowed him about for a few minutes
and finally pinned him as the time
keeper called the five minutes.
After the match was over Du
Cray still exhibited his dazed condi-
tion, walking about the hall and
even parading the sidewalk, attired
The daily sentinel., 1912-06-15

only in his dressing gown and wrest-
ling costume. Later in the evening
he was persuaded to go home and to
bed. and this morning is his old self
again. The shock was a terrific one,
and it is certain that he was totally
unconscious of his actions, and when
on the mat for the final fall and
defeat. He did not go to sleep un
til o'clock this morning.
The match was dazzling in its
brilliancy. During the first 0 min
utes the men carried the crowd off
its feet by their lightning-like work.
Headspins followed side rolls and
somersaults succeeded in flying leaps
as the men went through their
trying out process. Magnificent
wrestling. both defensive and often
sive, marked the entire match, but
the first 10 minutes was simply Won
derful in it's speed and brilliancy.
After 10 minutes the two men
settled down to more arduous work.
Each had better respect for the
other, and each went after his
holds with careful calculation. Del
ivuk displayed some unexpected clev
erness in evading the attempts for
toe holds which were repeatedly
made by the local man and occasion
ally replied with furnishing head
chancery Inside leg work was fea-
tured by both men, and each exhib-
tied tremendous muscular strength.
After the half hour had passed the
Austrian allowed Du Cray to take
the offensive, He seemed to have
but little trouble getting out of the
dangerous position in which Frank
placed him. but he did not exert
himself in keeping after Duke. Frank
was plainly confident after 80 min
utes had gone and his friends believ-
ed that he would have beaten the
Austrian had not the unfortunate ac-
cident occurred. 1t marred the en-
tire proceeding being the first seri-
Gus mishap in all the dozen or more
bouts which have been staged in the
city
The result was disappointing. but
it simply means that the Austrian
must be substituted for Ryan at the
Glenwood match. The people are
no longer anxious to see the Springs
man, when return engagement be
tween Delivuk and Du Cray is in
prospect. Both have beaten Ryan,
and there is a wide divergence of
opinion about the relative merits of
the Kansan and the Grand Junction
man.

have been so densely ignorant as
they were when the 18th of Septem-

The Honorable Discharge Of John
Spenner.
John Spenner, mention of whose
death on Christmas, 1866, was made
in the previous article, was honorably
discharged from Co. l.. 1st Regiment
Minnesota Mounted Rangers on Dec.
2, 1868, at Fort Smelling, Minnesota,
on account of expiration of service.
Spenner was in command of Com.
pany L. with the rank of lieutenant.
On Nov. 2, 1866, Spenner appeared
before Charles Roos, justice of the
peace, and filed his honorable dis.
charge in order to secure the back
pay due him for service. Less than
two months later Spenner was dead
was paid by the government in April,
1867.
It is possible that this discharge
may be of interest to some of the
relatives of Spenner. in which case
they can secure the same on request.
In this connection, there is another
honorable discharge in my possession
which may be desired by interested
relatives. This is the discharge of
Johann Krueger, sergeant of Capt.
Adam Bucks Co. A, 11th Regiment
Minnesota Infantry. Krueger was
discharged at Gallatin. Tenn, June
26, 1865, having served almost four
years on an enlistment for one year.

over to the rightful owner on request.
