Apparently the European wrestler Is
about the strongest mat artist seen

the possessor practically of no science.
and 1t was due to Lewis knowledge of

triumphed> over the grappler from
across the waters.
The popular young Kentuckian won
the first fall in thirty-three minutes,
while the second was gained after
thirty-tlve minutes of hard wrestling.
At tina conclusion of the match Cos
teilo announced that he had wrestled
both Roller and Lewis ard that he
considered the latter the best man,

At the last meeting of the town council
a number of citizens appeared to ex-
press their views on the matter of in
stalling a complete sewer system for the
town. the consensus of opinion being
that local sentiment was favorable to a
bond issue for the purpose.
The sewer question has been voted on
at three special elections within the past
few years, being defeated the last time
by thirteen votes. Advocates of a sewer
system for the town told the members
of the council that in their opinion a
special election on the question now
would result in a victory for the propo-
sition.
Mayor Waters idea in calling a public
meeting is to elicit a full expression of
opinion as to whether in the minds of
the citizens. the sewer act should be
amended and money should be borrowed
with which to defray the expense of a
more adequate filtration plant for the
waterworks, or a bond issue should be
provided to cover the cost of a complete
sewer system and filtration plant.
