LOCKER SYSTEM Is
TO BE MAINTAINED
Elks at Goshen Decide They Arc
ton RumOred.

GOSHEN. Ind, Aug. 13.-At very
session held last night, Goshen
lodge No. 1913, b. p. O. r., decided it
is within the law in maintaining it's
locker system. Although Goshen has
become saloOnless through city local
option, members Of the lodge are di-
vided on the issue of continuing the
use of intoxicants at the club rooms.
Ministerial influence has been eX-
erted in behalf of doing away entirely
with liquor at the club. Last night
the vets won a decided victory over
the drys and TODAY il was announced
the locker plan will be kept in force.
Several years ago the lodge was in
dicted. Agitation looking toward pros
ecution has been renewed since CO.
shen saloons have been driven out
through local option. 1t is asserted
that several persons who aided the
drys in their campaign in the city are
using their influence TO keep the Elks'
club wet.

SMITH DOWNS WEIKENER
IN FINISHED MATCH
Local Man Takes on Carnival
Man to a Finish When AC-
CuSed of "YeIIOW Streak"

Mishawakans who are spOrtively in
clined were given the treat of their
lives Thursday evening at the athletic
show at the Carnival grounds when
Charles Smith of 126 W. Sixth ST, this
city. dOWned Eddie Weikeuer ia 20
minutes in a finished wrestling match.
Weikener is travelling with the
show. and from town TO town has Of
fered TO take on the local talent az 81
a minute for every minute they stayed
over "a specified time. Wei, Weikener
attempted the same offer in Misha-
Waka, but was badly fooled Monday
evening when Smith stayed with him
for 10 minutes over the allotted time
at the first show and 3 minutes at the
second show, receiving from the man
agement a total sum of $50 for the
25 minutes. ON Tuesday evening a
match was arranged and Smith stayed
the allotted time again. wednesday
night owing to the rain, there was no
show at the grounds.
ON Tuesday night following the
match, Weikener challenged Smith to
q finish, which Smith refused. Thurs
day evening at the first show, the an
nOunced stated TO the audience that as
Smith had not made appearance in
the arena it was evident that he had
developed a yellow streak" Follow
ing this little speech there was a cry
from the auQlenCG ana culAln Sttpptu
forward. Weikener then invited him
TO a finish match which he accepted.
For over 20 minutes the two men
struggled and grOaned furnishing
rare amusement to those who had
gathered for the performance, for
wrestling, and wrestling to a finish,
is something rare and extraordinary
81 Mishawaka.
The referee made one mistake,
which almost resulted in serious
trouble. And that was that during the
excitement of the moment he forgot
the most essential part Of a wrestling
match, for he failed TO make a de-
Cision. The crowd clamOred and clam
ored and finally threatened. after
which the referee returned to the tent
and said. What's the matter, couldn't
you see the decision2" After which the
crowd was satisfied and left the tent.
The result of the match was the
closing Of the show for the night. 1t
is expected, however, that Weikener
will be able 10 return 10 the mat for
Friday nights performance.
According TO q carnival man Thurs
day evening. this was the first occa-
sion that Weikener has ever been
thrown Smith is said to be a wrest-

Mayor Demands
Cheap Graves
I'm New Park

After demanding that minimum
cemetery rates of $35 three
grave lot be always provided, for
the benefit of persons unable to
pay for more expensive graves,
the city council yesterday grant
ed permission to George William
son and associates for a new
burying park just outside of Ia
coma.
This makes two new cemeteries
for which permits have been
granted within week.
Mayor Fawcett demanded a low
minimum rate. The cemetery
promoters attempted to sidestep
any promise, but the mayor per-
sisted, and succeeded in getting
through his demands. BY stipu-
lation, the cemetery will purchase
water from the city department.
Andrew Wilkie, former report
er on a Seattle labor paper. en-
tered the most strenuous obiec-
ton of the day. He declared that
the promoters were merely put
ting forward a scheme to make
big dividends, and that they
would skip out after getting the
cemetery in operation, and forget
about perpetual upkeep clauses in
their contracts.
