Where do you guys get this stuff?
To hear you talk Nebraska is the only

Twas Emil Klank. formerly manager
Of those sterling meal tickets, Frank

as to speak disparagingly as regards our

"Yeh, wrestlers and foot ball players,
that's u.s." the reporter informed Mr..

well believe me-" much emphasis
from Klank, there ares going to be a
lot of disappointed wrestling fans tomor-
row night. This Charley Peters may be
good, but he is due for trimming and
he is going to get IT tomorrow night"
Peters, be It known, will engage in a
wrestling tussle at the Boyd theater
tomorrow night with one Marin Plestina
of Chicago. Plestina is one of Klank' 8
stable OF grapplers.
"Oh. perchance, perchance," admitted
the reporter. Probably Peters can be
thrown. We wouldn't even venture to say
stecher can't be thrown. They do say
miracles can be performed. But, you will
remember, Stranger Lewis and Joe
Rogers blew the village pronto when

What Of It. what of It." roared Klank.
Didn't Piestina dump both Of those
birds? Also didn't he break Martensen's
arm? I tell you this Plestina is tough
guy and he'll ruin Peters. He'll do to
Peters what Gotch'll do to Stecher.'
The reporter grinned. Probably, that's
just about what he will do. Unconsiously
you said 1t. You've got the right dope and
don't know IT," whereupon the reporter
departed confidently believing that a re
porter is smart person and is hard
one to fool.
Seats for the Peters-PIestina match are
selling fast and the Boyd theater prom
Uses to be pretty well filled tomorrow

popularity in Omaha and there are those
