ONE AMENDMENT EXPLAINED
Street Intersections Not Included In
Change of Section 66.

There appears to be some misunder-
standing among the voters regarding
one of the proposed amendments to
the city charter, and that all may cast
their ballot intelligently City Attor-
ney Coad interprets the amendment to
section 66, pertaining to sidewalks,
curbs and intersections, to mean that
only curbs and sidewalks are charge
able to abutting property, and not
intersections.
Some who have read the proposed
change are of the opinion that
abutting property is liable for street
intersections, and it is to disabuse
their minds of this erroneous impress
sion that this explanation is made.

The 1914 season for all game fish

The trout season opened April 49,;
the season for pike, muskellunge, crap

for the several varieties Of bass will
open May 20.
Thus far the weather has been too
Wet and chilly for the thorough enjoy
ment Of one Of tho finest Of outdoor
sports. Several excellent catches OF
brook trout have been reported, but
they have been the exceptions rather
than the rule. 1t is still considered
somewhat early for good pike fishing
AS the pike are still running and have
not yet finished spawning, but within
two weeks the wall-eyes will probably
be taking the hook.
With the season coming into full,

submitted the same name later.
The contest has proven very popular with the fans Of the two

mond enthusiasts from about the state. Literally hundreds Of names
were received, and the judges had a long list to wade through in

Ter and Westergaard take the highest
rank, with the exception OF Ameri-
Gus Of Baltimore. Cutters quick and
decisive defeat Of Fristensky, the SEN
sational defeat Of Fred Beell by
Americas. and the defeat of some
twenty-eight opponents this season by
Westergaard, who has not lost a
single fall this year., and his remark
able showing against zbyszko, stamp
these three men as the contenders
most worthy of consideration for the
American championship.
For the contest with Cutler, Wester-
gard will weigh round 222 pounds
and it is expected, according to the
reports from Chicago, hat Cutler viii
step into the ring weighing about
seven or eight pounds more than the
Iowa Swede.
In addition to the chance of meet
ing Zbyszko the winner will prob
ably be challenged by Americas.

W~ESTERGAARD IN
PRIME CONDITION

Des Moines, Ia, May 2. $50 Jess
W~estergaard is already in prime con-
dition for the coming encounter with
Charles Cutler of Chicago that will
decide the heavyweight wrestling
championship OF the United States.
The big Iowa Swede is back in the
remarkable shape that marked his
wrestling before the contest with
Zbyszko. Before ~tackling Cutler in the
contest that has been agftated for the
last three years, Westergaard will be
opposed by Yussiff Hussane, the gl-
gantic Bulgarian who has been under
the tutelage Of Farmer Burns for the
last year. This contest will be wrest-
led at Omaha and will prove the larg-
est mat attraction staged In the Ne"
braska metropolis In years.
Westergaard Is doing road and In
side work in preparation for the con-
test with Cutler. It is probable that
the winner of the acknowledgements
match will get a chance at Stanllaus
Zbyszko before the big Pole leaves
the United States for good, so that
the match means more than the purse
to the winner.
