Esmond, N. d., April !.
Esmond has many patrons Of the

of Con Laastuen, the light heavy
weight champion Of the state, and
There was good crowd out on satur-
day night to see the match between
Chris Person Of Fargo and Farmer
Jahns Of Grand Forks, and the match
was Of more than usual interest because
the big fellows went after each other
with enough vigor to satisfy anyone
and they were 90 evenly matched that
lit was impossible TO foretell the result
After forty minutes Of fast and rath-
or rough work Person won the first fall
with q head scissor hold. He also won
the second fell after twenty minutes
with a toe hold. For the time being,
therefore, he may be regarded as the
heavyweight champion of North d.
kota. But Jahns' manager has asked
for return match, and for two or
three weeks time to train his man into
condition, and Person has accepted the
challenge to defend his title at any
time OF place to be selected later, SO
the end is not yet. Con Laastuen was
referee and Prof. Williams timekeeper.
In the preliminaries between local
boys Clarence Kaufman and Lloyd
Healey wrestler sixteen minutes to a
draw, and the Brown Brothers, Ralph
and Preston, got one fall each. A. J..
