MITCHELL MAN
TIES ACKERMAN

Ed Bisonette. the husky wrestler
of Company F and the champion
among the South Dakota guardsmen,
failed to throw AL Alderman, of
Gam Valley, S. D., in their handi-
cap match at the city hall auditorium
on Saturday evening. The Mitchell
lad, however, gave a very good ac-
count of himself.
The terms of the match provided
that Bisonnette. should pin Acker-
man to the mat twice IN 1 1-2 hours.
This he failed to do, although he had
his opponent in DANGEROUS holds two
different times. Az hermann pinned
Bisonnette down closely twice, but
failed to throw hir4 f3r a fall.
Because of the scrappiness of Sat
Iurday evenings bout and the close
ness of the two men on the mat, it
has been decided to stage a return
match at the same place again on
IWdnsday wing of this week. If this
match is we'll ~patronized, it is prob
able that a regular program OF
wrestling bouts will be staged in
Mitchell this winter.
Alderman weighed in at, 14S
pounds on Saturday night and Bison
nette at 1873 pounds. Frank Hall of
Washington Springs, acted as refe-
rec. A. F. Scharnweber will officiate
on Wednesday evening.

en- the night of Sunday October is
last. The maximum sentence under

The crime of which the prisoner

haps among the most sensational in
cidents in the history of Mitchell.
Evidence at the trial of Heuermann

turning from a summer spent in
North Dakota. learned that his wife
had moved with their two daughters
from their former home.
Two days later. on a Sunday even

Mr.. Miche1s was hit in tho right
shoulder with a bullet and Mrs
Michels was tsruck in the left cheek.
One bullet burned a hole through
the collar of Mabel Feuermann's

ton for the five days it was in pro
gress, the court room being packed
to capacity continually. t. II. Null,

SAW
GOOD BUSINESS
last ONE BEFORE CHRISTMAS
WAS ONE OF BEST EVER In
MITCHELL.

There have been ,rumors OF
tight money" in Mitchell, as well as
in every other city in the country.
Banks have been rather loathe to
loan funds fer extended periods. In
om instances business houses and
corporations have made decided re-
trencIments.
But despite al LOT these facts, last
Saturday was one of the best days
that Mitchell merchants have ever
seen. 1t was not just a good bust
ness day, considering the general
conditions this year, but it was an
extra good day for any year. Prac-
tically every store was crowded from
The middle of the forenoon until
late ct night.
Edward McGovern, of aMcGoyarn
& Sons, declared that their estab-
:lishnlcnt could1not have done more
business. as th4 store was packed to
capacity and the clerks were busy
Tor every minute. He declared that
While he did not have the exact
figures, he believed that the bust
mes done surpassed any Saturday on
the week before Christmas in 1913.
H. ID. Buterield stated that his
store had done much more business
last Saturday than on the CORE
spending day 4 year ago. This he
ascertasned by examination of his
books, which showed a generous bal
ance in favor OF 1914. G. e. Ver-
milyea was equally enthusiastic over
the amount of business done, declar-
ing it could not have been better.
V. B. Diehl. of the Diehl Drug
company, declared that Saturday saw
the biggest business mat mis- Store
had ever seen, irrespective of the
year or the occasion. Scallin Bros.
store reported an excellent business,
fully on a par with any other year.
Other drug stores reported the same
way.
The same conditions were found
to be true among the clothing storee
an dali other lines OF business. Extra
clerks have been pressed into service,
the stores are open until 8 O'Clock
in the evening and everything is
done to care for Christmas in the
final rush of the season.
One. of the noteworthy features of
Saturdays trade in Mitchell. Yves the
large number of out of town shop
pers. The residents OF the nearby
towns have come to realize that Nit
chell IS the logical shopping center of
this part of South Dakota and all in
coming trains that forenoon we're
loaded with would-be purchasers. The
circulation of The Republican, over
ing the territory about Mitchell like
a blanket and carrying the ADVERTISE
ments of the city's leading merchants
is another big inducement in the up
building of its commercial success.
