GOOD WRESTLING
BOUT LAST NIGHT

The wrestling bout last night be-
tween Herman Stroh and AdoIph
Ernst was one of the best ever wit
messed in Elko. Both men proved that
they knew the game thoroughly and as
they are both big husky fellows and
active 1t was match well worth sec.
ing. Ernst won over Stroh, winning
the first fall in twenty-eight minutes
and the second in four mintes. The
crowd was not as large as it should
have been, considering the promi-
nence of the two men.
After the match between the above
two Walter Miller, who is travelling
with Ernst and who was thrown the
evening before by Stroh, put on an
exhibition match which alone was well
worth the price of admission.
All three of these men are top lin
ers in their business.

A fair sized crowd gathered at the
courthouse last night to hear the re-
port of Engineer Kelsey, who was
brought here from Portland by the
county commissioners to look over
the sewer system to see what could be
done toward remedying its condition.
Mr.. Kelsey made a short talk on
the matter, stating that he had gone
over the entire system and that in
his opinion Elko is now worse off than
IL it had never been built He re-
ported that the outlet pipe in the
septic tank was four feet lower tn ~
the water level of the river, and that
there is no doubt that the pipe in
the lower end of town is choked with
solid matter. This condition can be
overcome by extending the sewer line
west of the hot springs bridge, where
1t will be necessary to build another
tank, and from this tank the water
will probably have to be pumped to
