The Red Cloud chief., 1919-10-02
Will Organize Here

A movement is under way for Gle
organizing of a Red Cloud Chapter of
the American Legion.
Space does not permit us going into
details of the matter at this time. In
glancing over the literature pertaining
to the organization, received from
County Clerk Perry, we are giving
brief outline of it.
The Legion is an organization of
American Veterans of the World War.
1t is non-partisan and non. political. A
civilian organization-not military or
militaristic 1t makes no distinction
between rank or men who went over
seas or men who spent their time in
service in the United States.
Any soldier, sailor or marine who
served honorably between April 9, 1917
and November II, 1918 is eligible.
1t was organized in Paris, March n,
1919.
In answer to the question "What
does its constitution stand for?" we
quote: ITO uphold and defend the
constitution of the United States of
America; to maintain law and order;
to foster and psrpetuate one hundred
per cent Americanism; to preserve the
memories and incidents of our associa.
ton In the Great War; to combat the
autocracy of both the classes and the
masses; to promote peace and good
will on earth; to safe guard the prin.
cipals of justice, freedom and demo
crazy; to concentrate and sanctify our
comradeship by our devotion to mutual
helpfullness".
A rush OF work at the Office has TAX.
en- up so much of the editors time that
he has been unable to give the matter
the proper attention but as soon as
circumstances permit it is his intent
ion to call on "the boys" In the
meantime. any one who Is interested
may call at the Chief office where liter
ature, application blanks, etc, may bt
had.

tearing holes in his hands.
He followed the boy and let his
two accomplices go their ways. He
located the boys home and went
back to dress himself more appro~
priately. Dressed, he took his Sid
de and went to the boys home,
finding no one on the place. The
lads mother came up and Graves
told her all about it. A number of
other youngsters of the neighbor-
hood apparently knew all about it
and gave the names of the thieves
and pointed out their residences.
Warrants were issued for the ar
rest of Eddie and John Dzibelskie
and Louie Ranuillo for burglary.
Graves is unable to estimate the
exact damage and loss just at pres

more than 5000.
At present, Mrs. Graves is visit

snappy.
The Deer Park Ramblers, who are
in fourth place in division 3, have
withdrawn from the league, accord
ing to a communication received
from William Foley, manager. Foley
stated that he was satisfied with the
officials, but on account of his play
ers refusing to show up at the
games and abiding by the decisions,
it was best for him to disband for
the season.
On account of but three teams
remaining in division 3, the Walnut
Hill Merchants, who were scncd-
uled to play the Ramblers, have
been awarded forfeit and the Rlv-
erview Cubs likewise from the krug

play from July l6, this game will be
played Sunday.

spent at his home, 1929 Deer Park
boulevard, until he returned from
his duties at the Bee office, some
thing after 2 o'clock in the morning,
Tuesday. Upon entering the house,
he found clothing and furniture
piled in miscellaneous heaps all over
the floor. Upon investigation, he
found that two suits of his own
clothes. two of his wife's skirts
one ladies winter coat, some unse,
rings, his alarm clock, comb and
brush and other articles were miss
ing.
1t appeared that the burglars
meant to make another trip and get
a neatly arranged pile OF clothing
and Graves turned out the lights
and sat awake all the rest of the
night. No one visited the house and
he left at E a. m. to get something
to eat Upon his return he lay down
on the bed, sliding his violin under
the bed. At about noon, Tuesday,
he seemed to be dreaming his vic
trola( was playing, but could not
wake. He heard someone demolish-
ing some phonograph records and
parading around the house.
Not until he heard his violin rattle
in the box, could he get fully awake.

No Reply on Plestina's Def
From Pesek or Joe Stecher
Serb Wrestler Thinks Shelton Man Is Harder to Beat
Than Caddock- Offers to Throw Champion Three
Times in 80 Minutes Stecher-Pesek Match Off,

No reply to Marin Plestina's chal-
lenge to Joe Stecher and John Pesek
has been received as yet. kilograms
were sent to Mart Slattery, Pesek's
manager, and to Joe Stecher, &C
quainting them of the def and re-
questing reply. They are appar-
entity giving the matter quite a bit
of consideration.
For men in thier position dead
ing wrestlers in the country it
seems incredible to believe that
either fears Plestina. 1t has always
been my opinion that when either
was pinned right down to it, he
would give Plestina a match and
about all he was looking for. 1t is
very unlikely that Slattery believes
that Plestina can actually toss Pesek
twice in 90 minutes. No Omaha
sport fan thinks so either Every
one says that John would most like
ly turn the tables and throw the
Serb twice within that time.
1t is not my purpose to decry the
ability of either man, but to put
over a real wrestling match, if pos
sible. That a Plestina-Pesek match
would be a real one, l ain certain
and want to see it staged. would
not care to say whether ] believe
Marsh's man can do as he claims he
can or not, but l would certainly
like to see the match. Either Pesck
or Stecher should accept Plestiha's
challenge and make him quit his
parading around as title claimant
or give him the chance to show
that he is the real goods.
Pesek Tougher than Caddock.
The current weeks issue of the
Police Gazette prints a def from
Plestina to Champion Earl ,addock
agreeing to throw the title-holder
three times within go minutes. his

Pesek harder game than Caddock.
