LARGE CROWD IN ATTENDANCE
At Wrestling Match Held at Carlson
Hall Last Evening. Some Good
Sport Furnished.


The first wrestling match held in
this city in number of years took
place last evening at Carlson Hall,
when Floyd Domer, light heavy
weight champion of America, perform
ed the difficult feat of throwing three
men in 40 minutes and 80 seconds.
A large and enthusiastic crowd was
on hand, and there were plenty Of
thrills furnished for their benefit.
The men who opposed Domer were
Melvin Samuelson, Sam Bonham and
Chas. LeCouq. The two former are
from this city while LeCouq is from
FIT. Dodge, Ia. Bonham was the first
to go to the mat with the champion
and he stayed exactly II minutes.
Sam proved no easy man to handle,
and in spite of the fact that he was
outweighed quite bit he fought
pluckily against overwhelming odds,
and gave the crowd several chances
to applaud his work, especially in
wriggling out Of dangerous holds.
However, when they had been at It
almost eleven minutes, Domer sudden
| ly shifted and clamped on the toe
hold, and it was over, as Bonham con.
ceded the fall, rather than take a
chance on having his leg broken.
Nelly Samuelson was the next to
go and this bout was real thriller.
After several minutes of preliminary
feeling out" the men went to the mat
Domer, of course, was tho aggressor
and tried for several holds, but Nelly
succeeded in breaking them or wrig
Cling out. Suddenly, with quick
twist, the tide was turned, and Dom
or found himself on the defensive
while Samuelson assumed the often
sive. This was little unexpected
and Samuelson made things hum FOL
a time by clamping on several holds
that looked dangerous, but Domer al
ways broke them, and he finally be
came the aggressor again. He criet
time and again for the toe hold, bu
was unable to secure good grip, a.
NELLY persisted in kicking away. HI
then clapped on a body scissor, ant
a fall looked certain, but again, Nell
succeeded in breaking away. Ate
they had been at it little over foul
teen minutes, Domer clamped on a r.
{ verse scissor hold and slowly pushe
J. Samuelson's shoulders to the mat. Til
fall was gained in IA minutes and 3
seconds of wrestling.
r LeCouq, the heaviest Of the trio, wa
h the last to go on, and as he had thi
v ty.dve minutes of the hour left, Don

A Progressive Dairy Farmer.

While at the Swenson homestead last
Thursday, Mr.. David Swenson kindly
showed to US and demonstrated his
new milking machine. He has used it
for some time now and pronounces it
a complete success. Three COWS are
MIXED at once, and he milks thirty
COWS in an hour or less. It is an in
vention which means much to the
dairy farmer. The milk is never ex-
posed to the air of the barn for an in
slant. Mr.. Swenson has his new barn
pleted some all concrete stalls includ-
ing partitions, managers and feed
boxes.

Report Of "Loyal Farmer Boys Corn
Contest" Raymond, Minnesota,
October 2nd. 1914

Contest" Raymond, Minnesota,
October End, 1914.
I would like to have all the young
people that entered this contest &C.
cept this as letter rather than look
upon it as report. It is out of the
question to write each one separately
and for this reason such a contest
cannot be made as popular as it might,
without a better means Of reaching
the boys.
At this date after the summers toll,
after your hoes are well creased and
hung in the shed for the winter and
the crops are most all in, you fall back
in some easy chair and wonder who
won the LIST, End and 3rd prizes. Only
three out Of those that entered are
able to get these. would like to see
all who have entered receive as much
but that is impossible and you could
not expect it of me.
While most of you have not attain
ed to these prizes, do not step back
feeling you are beat. No, as result
much fine corn has been started grow
ing on many farms. Barring misfor
tunes, this corn will go through the
planter box next spring, for bumper
crop in the fall.
Those that have worked to finish
have not been characteristic of the

called weeds, crept in and we're hav

garden. Many of the boys have al
ready set stakes for next year. 9th
ers are planning to do so. This ha
been an unfavorable season in som
respects. Reports of hail and win
have completely destroyed some cor
crops this year but they have express
ed themselves as ready to try out al
other year.
Now at this time I cannot te
whether I will be able to take care {

to Oscar w. Underwood, chairman OF

regarding the prospects of getting him
home for the rest of the campaign.
To this Chairman Underwood re-
piled: Il am as anxious to have Mr..
Hammond return home and take an
active part in tho campaign as you
are. I have admired his sterling quail
tiles for many years. I regard him as
one Of the soundest and ablest mem.
bers of the house. thoroughly honest,
upright and painstaking; always de-
voted to the performance of public
duties, and he is a man who has the
courage to sacrifice his personal for.
tunes for the public good. He has
always elected to remain in Washing.
ton and do his full duty to his con.
stituency and the government rather
than push his political fortunes at
home. This is the type of man that
ought to be selected to hold high po.
littcM Office. If Mr.. Hammond is
elected governor of your state, am
sure he will make one Of the best gov
errors that Minnesota has ever had,
and It Is for this reason that should
like to see him have every opportunity
to met the people of your state, but
I must say that admire the patriotic
stand that no has taken to stay by
his duties here in Washington regard.

Ill TREATMENT OF THE INSANE.

There are in county jails and on
county farms in the state of Texas,
three hundred aud twenty insane
persons, for whom there is not room

than looking after the states wards.

an insane person in a vile prison
What have they done that they
should be so punished and made to
