LOCAL Man wins
Paul DOmke Throws Martin Johnson
of Duluth in Straight Falls Fri
day Evening.

The wrestling match between Paul
Domke of Raymond twp. and Martin
Johnson of Duluth at the Caughren
theatre Friday evening of last week
was enjoyed by fair sized crowd of
lovers of athletic accomplishments
The bout was real one from the call
Of time. The men weighed in at
about the same and were about the
same in height. Domke pushed the
contest from the breakaway and f.
nally succeeded in pinning Johnson's
shoulders, to the mat in ~ minutes.
The second bout was as exciting as
the first and it took rs minutes of
very strenuous work to secure the Sec
ond fall. After the match Johnson
said he was defeated fair and square,
but that he hurt his right arm during
the first Is minutes of the first bout,
and he was consequently handicapped
after that. He asked for a return
Domke stated following
the match that he was willing to meet
Ordemann or any other heavy weight
that could be brought to town.

HOUSE COMMITTEE
Sank Centre Member Fares Well and
Will be Busy Man During the
Session.

Speaker Flowers announced his
house committees last Thursday, and
the lower body may be said to BE-
formally organized. Hon. Frank E.
Minette, of Sank Centre, Jared fairly
well. He is chairman of the Tele.
phone and Telegraph committee and
member of the General Legislation
State Training School, Corporations,
Other than Municipal, and Reappor-
tionment and Military Affairs. Re-
apportionment will not amount to
anything this session as the state was
redistricted two years ago and mill
sary affairs is largely a joke. How
ever, with the four first committees
he will find enough to do to be fairly
.Sy.
: he Herald understands that the
Sank Centre man is about ready to
introduce the famous Minette-Holm-
berg bill vetoed by Governor Eber-
hart two years ago in connection with
the very obnoxious utilities bill. Had
Mr.. Minette's bill faced the governor
alone it would likely have become a
law. The object of this bill is to
force trunk line companies like the
Northwestern and Tri-State to con-
meet with the smaller companies and
also to connect with each other. The
Northwestern moved heaven and
earth two years ago to defeat the
measure. The effect of this measure
would mean that if you are Sank
Centre citizen and cared to talk to
some one in the Twin Cities or else
where, having only a Tri-State or in
dependent phone that the Northwes-
tern people would have to make the
connection. Some of the features OBJ
Jected to by Gov. Eberhart two years
ago will probably be eradicated in the
new measure.
l.. c.. Spooner of Morris is chair
man of the Appropriation Committee.
Mr.. Spooner was sponsor for the bill
creating the Home School for Girls
located at Sank Centre, and has al
ways taken an active interest in the
success of the school. It is fortunate
that a friend of the institution is at
the head of this important commit
tee, as the bill providing for the funds
for maintenance and improvements
will 60 before this committee for con-
sideration.
