to reporter about a labor dispute.
"You are judging too much by sur
face conditions" he said. Judging a
labor dispute by surface indications is
as bad as judging man by his clothes

MASKED MARVEL"
UNABLE TO KEEP
ENGAGEMENT HERE
Manager Wires That He Will Be
Unable to Stop Off in the
Capital City.
TWO MEN MATCHED ARE
TOP NOTCH WRESTLERS

Charlie RenGrop, champion middle
weight wrestler Of Europe, who was
matched to meet the MASKED Mar
vep' here this week or the early
part of next week in a handicap
match, will meet Alex Swanson,
champion middleweight of the Paci-
fic coast, in a finish match mere
March 3.
Manager Emil Klank of The MASK
ed Marvel" wired yesterday that he
will be unable to bring his man to
Bismarck, or stop off here for a
match on his way east. The promot-
ers of the match, however, mined
lately got in touch with Swanson,
and he will be here to meet Rentrop
March 3. .a&~ ..o.
The match will be best two out
of three falls to finish. Rentrop
will weigh in at 1853 pounds at "
o'clock, the afternoon of the match,
while Swanson will be a few pounds
below that weight The two men
are about the same hight and have
been in fast company for several
years. They are in their prime at the
present time, and should put up the
best match that has ever been seen
in the capital city. Rentrop will
train here for the match, and will
take on any local wrestler, who puts
in an appearance, in the mean time
He offers $50 to any local man who
he cannot pin to the mat in 10 min
utes.
Noyak, who has been wrestling in
the welterweight class, is really a
middleweight, but took to the tall
timbers the day Rentrop landed here
and has not been seen nor heard
from since that time. Novak was
stealing some of Rentrop's thunder
and the champion quietly sneaked in
to settle the question with him.
Rentrop planned on leaving for
eastern points at once but num-
Der of local wrestling fans thought
match could be arranged with the
Masked Marvel" They are anxious
to see Rentrop in action, so immed-
lately secured Swanson when the
other match fell through. Swanson
is a fast clever wrestler, and is trav-
cling east to meet some of the east
ern men in his class. The meeting
of Rentrop and Swanson March 3
will unquestionably be the best bout
witnessed here this season.
