counted in Multnomah than in any
other county.
Throughout the state there has been
a general vote against abolishment of

Martin Audersens the fatlubberhead,
Is sadly mistaken when he issued the
article that Chas Rubel who recently
issued a challenge TO wrestle is qnitter
and piker for not making good the
terms of bis challenge. Anderson ac-
cepted the challenge bout 70 take place
at Manning and / have and was.wait-
ing for it to take place ever since. /
challenged him about Dec. 20. He &C
cepted a week later and agreed to wres
tie after Christmas. On New Years he
accepted challenge again. He would
take me on in Audubon in Kness' place
and agreed TO wrestle in the opera
house, but no, it must be staged at the
Arlington hotel, a place where there is
scarcely room for combatants. 1t is. and
somewhat TO Kness, who said II work
ed hard to fix this up and all must
wrestle there" No doubt he had An
