will weigh about las pounds. The
weight difference is in Brandau's
favor but the handicap of two throws
in an hour of wrestling is also a
stiff one and Des Voignes is now in
constant training and will put up the
battle of his life in this coming
match. The local fans figure that
Brandau can only win by Gripping
Des Voignes and they figure that Des
Voignes is well able to care for him
self when it comes to the defensive
end of the game. If Brandau wins
the 500 it is safe to say it will be
the hardest money he ever worked
for.
The management of the match is
arranging for good preliminary
attraction. The main event will be-
gin about 900 p. m.

WRESTLING MATCH ATTRACTS
Des Voignes VS.. Brandau Match Next
Thursday Evening Discussed

The fans of this vicinity are figur-
ing that George Brandau, the cham
pion wrestler at 100 pounds of the
middle west states, is going to meet
his Waterloo next Thursday night
at Kent's hall when he attempts to
throw Clair Des Voignes twice in an
hour of wrestling, Police Gazette
rules, catch as catch can for a purse
of 500 and the gate receipts.
Whoever wins, it is certain that the
match will be the best ever held in
Northern Idaho and a record crowd
of fans from Standpoint and all parts
of this district, is expected. The
Standpoint fans are, it is said, COM
ing with the intention of backing
the Sparta, Wis, wrestler heavily.
In fact, it is claimed, that Brandau
was imported for the purpose of
beating Des Voignes, the Boomers
Ferry wrestler, and it is true that
Brandeau appeared in Standpoint I'M
der an assumed name until it be-
came generally known who he was.
Brandau, it is said, threw Young
Gotch and wrestled to a draw after
three hours with wrestler who had
previously been given a decision over
Walter Miller, the worlds middle

posted $50 forfeit that he will not

DAYTON WINS
MORTGAGE SUIT
Case Of Drumheller Against Dayton is
First Of Civil Cases to be Tried
In District Court
JURY ALLOWS $3.50 AND COSTS
Was Contest Of Foreclosure Procee dings
Involving Addie Ranch

The jury in the foreclosure of
mortgage case of Jerome Drumheller
against Denver P. Dayton ct ux.,
rendered verdict Wednesday even
ing favoring the defendant, allowing
damages claimed to the amount of
$3.50 and costs. The jury was
out two hours. G. H. Martin and
Myrvin Davis represented the de-
PENDANT and A. H. Conner was at
torney for the plaintiff.
The plaintiffs action was started
in Bonner county to foreclose on the
defendants 100 acre ranch in the
Round Prairie district, a mortgage
on the ranch having been given to
secure two notes of $3.50 each.
The defendant, in his answer and
counter claim alleged that when the
plaintiff sold the ranch to him, mis-
representations had been made. De-
PENDANT alleged that he had paid
plaintiff S2500 in cash and had exc
cuted the notes and mortgage con-
cerned in the suit, for the ranch
property but would not have done
so except that he relied on the state
ments of the plaintiff, who, the de-
PENDANT alleged, asserted that the
meadow land of the ranch in ques-
ton was good tillable land and not
more than four or five acres over
flowed at any one time. The de-
PENDANT alleged that the water ov-
erf1owed the meadow land each spring
to such an extent that he was not
able to plant crops. The defendant
alleged that he had contracted ia
pay $3.50 but that the land was not
really worth over $4,000 and that he
had been damaged to the extent of
$3.50. The defendant asked for can
collation. of the notes and mortgages
sued for in the plaintiffs action; for
$2500 and interest at per cent from
August II, 1912, and for costs and
disbursements of action.
The witnesses for the plaintiff were
Jerome Drlmheller, w. F.. Childs
j. F. Gillon and VIM. Peterson. These
witnesses testified as to the sale OF
the land to Dayton and of their
knowledge of its productiveness. In
support of his claim that the land
was actually worth all that had beer
paid for it the plaintiff exhibited a
copy of an application for a state
loan executed by the defendant in
which he stated that the land was
worth $4,000.
L. E. Brown, J. w. Faubian, Mack
Gentry, Peter Johnson, ]. F. Gillon
D. P. Dayton and Mrs. Dayton were
or the witness stand for the defend
ants. They testified as to the over
flowed conditions of the land and a.
to its worth in their opinions.
