PALZLR TO FIGHT.
Iowa's Heavyweight Pugalist VIII
Meet Stanley Klosky Soon.

Over.confdence has cost Frank
Klein, the Dubuque heavyweight
boxer, a chance to meet Al Palzer,
of Ossian, Ia, heavyweight contend
er in the ring in the near future.
The Dubuque fighters carelessness
in the second round of his fight with
Stanley Klosky, at Platteville, Wis,
Tuesday night, was the direct cause
of knockout punch that sent him
several notches down the pugilistic
ladder. Had he maintained the pace
he set in the opening round Klein
probably would have been the next
man to meet Palzer, for before the
fight a telegram from Palzer chal-
lenged the winner of the Klein
Klosky bout and the management OF
the Wisconsin Athletic club was will
ling to stage the battle. AS 1t is now
1t is expected Klosky will be match
ed against the Ossian fighter.

badly by man in boat. He has
had trouble with hunters and trap
pers trespassing upon his land and
it is suspected that in a wordy alter
cation with one of them he was shot
down.
His failure TO return home that
night alarmed his wife who inform
ed the neighbors and searching
party found Martelle's dead body in
his boat next morning. The boat
had drifted down the slough some
distance. Sheriff Larson was mott
fled and with others gave the local
ity careful search but no clue

not long remain undetected.
