NOVACk DENIES THAT
. CORNELL THREW HIM

In a letter to the sporting editor OF
the Tribune, Joe Novack, local wres-
tier, denies in no uncertain terms the
report elnanating from New Salem
that he was thrown by one Jack Cor,
nell. Novack writes from Dickinson,
where he has been cleaning up some
of the local wrestl RS and boxers.
eff Cornell beat ME two straight
falls at New Salem, he ought to be
willing, and able to do it again." says
Joe in his letter. "Ive got backsrs
that will go sky high that he can't
throw me twice in an hour, and il
he wants to take this on I'll show him
up again. If he wants to meet me,
though, he will have to post a bet Of
$50 at least and agree that the win.
ner take all of the receipts.'
Novack reports that he threw three
men in an hour at Dickinson and then
turned around and gained a decision
owe Kid Smith Butte in a ten-rouad
boxing match. The next day he
knocked out a negro by the name or
Wilson, hailing from Richardton, in
the fifth round of what was scheduled
to be a ten-round bout.

The agricultural products had all
been collected, but Mr.. Freyberger
had to come here to gather in the dis.
plays arranged by the state institu-

of control.
Agricultural products will be the
big feature Of North Dakota's outlay,
and it is a wonderful collection that
Mr.. Freyberger has secured. AS
everyone looks on North Dakota as a
grain-producing state and as he is
anxious to specialize in something
that IS not generally known, Mr.. Frey
berger will play up the alfalfa, clover,
and tame grasses produced In the
state.
Mr.. F~reyberger's wife has already
left for California, to take charge of

Two Syrians made application to
Secretary of State Hall for peddlers'
licenses a day or so ago. Their I'M

belied their financial ability to pay
the license fee, which is $75 per head.
The office force had sized them up in
anticipation of having to carry them
out on stetchers when Deputy Secre-
tary Andrews announced that they
would have to dig up $3.50 for the two.
But the office force was surprized, in

each yanked out a roll of bills big
enough to choke a COW and paid up
like sports. Several attaches of that
office are thinking of resigning and
becoming peddlers-if someone will

The inquiry develops the fact that
