BEAR WINS WRESTLING MATCH
Man Claims $1,000 for Broken Ankles,
But Bruln and Snowman
Are Gone.

Springfield, Mass. - When David
Wagner, a muscular structural iron
worker, sauntered into q vaudeville
theater the other evening. the owner
of trained grizzly bear known az
big JIM" was inviting any Of the
1900 spectators to engage In a wrest-
ling match with the bear. big Jim"
has a side partner In the audience
whose duty It is to come forward with
alacrity when the challenge is issued
and to proceed to try conclusions with
the bear which is invariably victorious.
The invitation to wrestle the bear
is accompanied by the assurance that
$1,000 will be paid In case the bear
harms any person who wrestles with
him. The bears side partner was a
trifie slow In starting for the stage on
the night that Wagner attended the
performance. and Wagner announced
to a friend his purpose to call the
bluff."
Wagner vaulted upon the stake. big
Jim" apparently was dee-lighted to
meet him. For several minutes the
ponderous bear and the hard-muscled
structural worker exchanged toe.

they went down in heap. big Jim
in extricating himself clumsily stepped
on Wagner's left leg just above the
ankle and broke both bones. Here the
curtain fell. Wagner was rushed to q
hospital. He says he will call upon the
management for the $1,000 forfeit The
owner OF the bear claims that tht
guarantee applied only to malicious in
juries. Meantime the bear and tn,

Workmens' Picks Strike Nuggets Hid
den by Dead Miners In an Ancient
Building.

Denver, Colo.-The moving OF a
building fifty years old, in Brecken-
ridge, resulted In workmen finding a
rusty coffee pot containing gold mug
gets worth more than $500. The
building was being moved to the rear
of the lot on which 1t stood by Henry
Evans, who intends to erect a modern
brick structure on the lot. Immediate
ly after the report of the find hun
dreds of persons rushed to the scene,
and, because of their activity with
picks and shovels, workmen will not
be needed to finish the excavation.
The landmark, one of the Oldest
buildings in Summit county, was built
Of logs. In the early days 1t was occu-
pied by Edward ]. Collingwood, who
has since moved to Denver. Since
then it has been occupied by various
individuals and firms as a store
among them being G. B. Watson OF
Breckenridge.
Evans was advised to tear the an
cient structure down, and thus save
expenses. but, because of sentimental
reasons, he decided to move it to the
rear of the lot and to use the space
which it had formerly occupied fol
his new building. The moving OF the
building entailed much digging. and
a force of laborers was put to work
One OF the workmen unearthed the
pot, and cast it on a pile Of dirt Wher
1t struck, the lid few on, and yellow
gold nuggets rained over the ground
The contents were weighed and placed
In q local bank
Evans says that unless some one
claims the find, the proceeds will bt

Enthusiastic fortune hunters crowded
the site all afternoon, and Evans, aftel
watching them for a while. decided u
dispense with the services Of the
workmen.
Various theories have been ad
vanced to account for the treasure, thu
most popular one being that Of TIL
