NORTH R|CHM0NDERS
DEFEAT BONO ISSUE
PROPOSED PLAN is LOST BY
VOTE OF THIRTY-TWO TO
TWENTY-EIGHT.

In one of the most interesting cleo
tons ever held in a Richmond suburb,
the proposed issuance of bonds to the
amount of $4,000 was defeated by
four votes yesterday by the citizens of
North Richmond.
Only sixty one ballots were cast in
the special election. thirty-two against
the issue and twenty-eight for 1t. One
OF the votes was void.
The people OF the town who OPP
posed the issuance Of bonds expressed
themselves as being OF the belief that
the town could not afford, to sell $751;
600 worth OF bonds for the general
Improvement of North Richmond.
Better water i'm the town, and the
voters thought that if there was to
be a bond issue the bonds should be
devoted exclusively towards making
this Improvement.
Despite the small number of votes
cast, large amount of interest was
manifested in the election. Several
of the North Richmond residents
stayed around the polls throughout
the day working for and against the
proposed plan.

HERBERT DEFEATS
CUTLAhOUS AFTER
GR|LL|hG CONTEST
LOCAL BOY PUTS OPPONENT OUT
AFTER LOSING FIRST
FALL.

AS the result Of an accident, which
knocked George Cutlanous into insen-
sibiIity. George Herbert. the local
grappler, last night won the bout, and
walked out of the City auditorium
with cutlanous' belt buckIed around
him.
Cutlannus- had secured the
first fall in thlrty-one minutes, Her
bert came back in the second period
stronger than ever. and within less
than one minute pinned his oppo-
nents shoulders to the mat. The
second fall was head lock, and when
Referee Ford slapped Herbert on the
shoulder. Cutlanous failed to arise.
The fall had knocked him into in
sensibility. in which condition he re-
manned until late last night. 1t was
first thought that his skull had sus-
tanned a fracture, but this was aban-
doned when an examination was made
by DR.. c. E. Dyer. of Wythe county.
Va, who happened TO be present at
the time the accident occurred. He
announced that muscle in the WISH
tors neck had been sprained.
1t was more than one hour before
he gained his consciousness. and had
to be taken away from the auditorium
in a taxicab.
Owing to Cutlanous' inability to re-
turn to the mat to finish the bout,
Referee Ford awarded the match and
belt to Herbert. Herbert told the au-
dience that he was sorry that the ac-
cident had occurred. and asserted that
he would give the wrestler return
bout at any time he desired it.
Before Cutlanous left the audi
forum he declared in whispers that
he would not leave Richmond until
he had met and defeated Herbert He
said that he would ask for a return
match in about two weeks.
