Again the Wrong Direction.


The fire truck evidently has a de-
sire for going in the opposite direc-
ton of fires and then racing pell NELL
to the scene for a glorious finish. Thus
il would appear to those who have
watched it for the past few fires
At the time of the CaIor fire the
truck went to the center of the town
and then turned and raced up West
Main street. The act was very rea-
sonably explained the following night
Yesterday afternoon at 4:55 o'clock
the fire alarm sounded. The alarm
was for the center of the town where
supposed fire was "raging' in the
pool room in the Edmund building
Soon after the alarm sounded the fire
truck was seen to dash" up West
Main street directly opposite where
the fire was located. If the truck
was. supposed TO go to the railroad
crossing and sCOur the neighhOrhOOd
to the west, why did it turn up West
Main street? The fire did no dam
age as it was mostly smoke from q
wood fire but were it serious the en-
tire section might have been wiped
out. The action of the truck may
be explained satisfactorily.

DUNDEE TOMORROW BRINGING BIG CROWDS ROLLER VS. DRAAK WEDNEDA
Roller Will Put Up Hard Battle
Against Draak Next Tuesday Night

Draak, who tips the scales at 21s
pounds, will have little if any ad
vantage over the clever physician il
weight. Realizing that in Roller he
will stack up against man who
knows every angle of the mat game
Draak, is expected to play a waiting
game and hold Roller off as long as
possible before trying to work his
famous scissors hold.
Rollers appearance here a short
time ago left no doubt in the minds
of the fans as to the caliber OF
wrestler that the DOC" really is
terming Roller. the wrestler with a
thousand holds would probably come
nearer to the solution than anything
that could be applied to Rollers
wrestling.
Tuesdays program will start with
some good preliminary bouts and
the main go will be started at $40
sharp. Tickets will be placed on
sale this morning at the Schenk and
Title sporting goods store and at
Harry's cigar store. Ladies are espe-
cially invited to attend this bout
which will be under the management
of promoter Baumann, who staged
the Lewis-Roller match.
