WINS A DOUBLE-HEADER
Audubon High School Basket Ball
Teams Open Season With a
Winning Streak.

The boys and girls basket ball
teams of the Audubon high school
played two spectacular games at the
gymnasium last night. They were
contending for honors with teams
from Coon Rapids. The teams from
both schools were apparently in
good condition, the home team hav-
ing a little advantage, however, in
playing on their own floor. Never
theless, both games were exciting
and well played.
The Audubon boys won their game
by a score of / s to 8, while the girls
cleaned up the visitors to tune of
rs to O.
1t is more than likely that re-
turn game will be played at Coon
Rapids later in the winter and then,
no doubt, the Coon Rapids teams
will be eager to get revenge.

NEW MAT CHAMPION.
Lewis Defeats Stecher, of Nebraska,
i'm n 0ne-Fal Match i'm
New York City.

Ed stranger" Lewis of San Jose
Cal, won the worlds heavyweight
catch-as-catch-ca wrestling cham
pionship in New York City Monday
night by throwing Joe Stecher, OF
Dodge, Neb., in one hour and forty
one minutes fifty-six seconds with
head and hip lock.
Lewis weighed 228 pounds, TWEEN
ty more than his opponent.
The finish was a spectacular one
Stecher was worn down to weak
condition by eight successive head
locks in the last moments of the con-
test. He squirmed out of the first
of these in thirty-five seconds, but
as he arose to straighten up Lewis
got another on flying hold, which
he maintained for forty seconds,
Stecher squirmed out and obtained
a body scissors, his favorite hold but
by sheer strength Lewis broke away
and clamped on another deadlock
which lasted forty seconds.
The next three were of short dur
alton, but Stecher appeared weak
and groggy as he got to his feet, and
in another moment Lewis got wise
like grip around his opponents
head Stecher staggered to the
ropes after freeing himself and Lew
is got the final finishing deadlock
and as he closed his left arm over
Stecher's head, turned him with a
hip lock, threw him heavily and pin
ned his shoulders to the mat almost
Immediately.
Stecher had the better of the first
hours struggle, and was the aggres-
sOr for most of the contest, winding
his legs around Lewis for the scis-
sors hold frequently. On three oc-
casions he made Lewis vince from
pain by toe holds. Lewis limped after
one of these, and both appeared tir-
ed from their exertions.
Lewis had total of twelve head
locks, while Stecher obtained the
scissors a half dozen times, four of
which were incomplete. He had
Lewis in jeopardy several times, but
was not able to follow up the scis-
sors with an arm or wrist lock to
force Lewis shoulders to the mat.
Stecher tried the reverse arm hold
four times, three of which floored
Lewis.

DANISH AUTHOR HERE
Making Trip Around the World and
Expects to Visit Audubon
County Soon.

Miss Estrid OFT, of Copenhagen
Denmark, is in this country to write
stories for a daily newspaper in
Copenhagen. The fore part of the
week she arrived in Omaha, where
she is making a number of talks be.
fore Danish societies. 1t has been
reported to us that Miss OFT will
visit Audubon county in her trav.
els, and this no doubt means that
she will visit this city.
The city editor of the Berlingske
Tedende, of Copenhagen, Denmark
glanced hastily over the assignment
book one morning last summer and
hastily added to the list, Miss OFT
Go Around the World"
Miss Estrid OFT appeared at $3.50
signed the book and started out. She
forgot her hat, and her top coat, and
as she was in a hurry to get started
she decided to forget about them
entirely. Besides being a reporter
Miss Estrid is chief of the girl scouts
of Copenhagen. She wears her
scouting costume. Each fortnight
in whatever place she may be, she
sends back to her city editor an ar
ticle of $500 words telling about
her trip.
Pretty, educated, and fully capa.
BILE of taking care of herself, the lit
tie traveller is having a great time,
in collecting literary data, for she
also is "the youngest author in Den
mark" and has published three pop
ular books during the twenty years
of her life.

mark than il is in America" said
Miss OFT. 1--WE reporters sit in the
office and the people bring us the
news. If their item is good we pay
them for it,"
oh, for the life of reporter! But
Miss OFT as reporter may sit and
wait for news, but as Girl Scout
! she walks. She has a medal fol
walking, and did one hike of forty,
eight miles in day.
Her mother is a Danish play
wright and her godfather is presi'
dent of the Danish Authors associ

to speak before several groups @
Danish people, on scouting.
Miss OFT thinks it interesting the
way American publications desire
photographs. When we want

we send an artist and he draws {

She has numerous medals, one fol

COURT IS in SESSION
Judge CullisOn, of Harlan, Presiding
for the First Time Since
His Appointment.

The November term of the Audi
at the court house in this city on
Monday, with Judge Cullison, OF
Harlan, presiding. This is the
Judges first visit to Audubon since
his appointment by Gov. Harding
last September when he was ap.
pointed to fill vacancy caused by the
resignation of Judge Arthur, who
was appointed to fill vacancy on
the supreme bench.
Judge Wheeler started the term,
but was compelled to postpone court
one week on account of his assign
ment in another county. The petit
jury was called for Monday morning.
The first case to be tried was that
of John Nailor VS.. A. w. Quinby.
The case grew out of a note given
by Quinby to Nailor for sheep. Nail
or claimed the note had not been
paid in full and sued to collect the
unpaid balance. Quinby brought in
counter claim. The jury found
for Mr.. Quinby awarding his $500.
The next case was the Transmits
sissipi Grain Co. VS. F. r. McLaungh-
lin, administrator for the estate OF
Joe Williamson 1t is claimed that
the grain company advanced Will
hanson a sum of money on corn on
his farm, which was later sold to
other parties. The judge has taken
the matter under advisement.
The case of San Andersen VS..
Floyd owen was tried next. The
case grew out of dispute for wages.
1t was tried in a justice court and
transferred to the district court.
The district court affirmed the de-
cision of the lower court, which was
in favor of Andersen.
Today the case of Mrs. Alice
Boehme vs.. Everett Kline and Geo.
Mccall is claiming the attention OF
the court. Mrs. Boehme is suing
Kline on a note on which Mr.. Nc
Call was surety. 1t will require
most of the day and perhaps part OF
tomorrow to try the case.
1t is quite likely that a number OF
cases that have been docketed will
be settled out of court, and if this
is done it is more than likely thai
the work of the term will be com
pleted by not later than Tuesday OF
Wednesday of next week.
The members of thesbar and those
connected with the court proceed
ings are going to like Judge Guilt
son. He is recognized by all as an
able lawyer and man with excep'
tionally good Judgment.

CADDoCK is THE WINNER
Is Given Decision in Wrestling Match
Tuesday Night After Each
Get a Fall.

Earl Caddock, of Walnut, former
worlds wrestling champion, was
given the decision over Jim Londos,
of San Francisco, at the end of two
hours of. the fastest wrestling ever
seen in San Francisco. Both men
scored fall, the decision going to
Caddock because he was the agrees
sor through the greater part of
the match, and had Londos in jeop-
ardy, larger number of times.
Caddock took the first fall in the
fast time OF IL minutes and sec
onds, pinning Bondos with an arm
scissors and arm lock. When the
men returned for the second fall
Londos contented himself with re-
naming on the defensive for fifty
minutes. In this time Caddock tried
several times to score a fall with a
deadlock but Londos by sheer
strength broke each hold. Londos
got behind Caddock for the first
time in the match as the hour mark
was reached. From then on he
rough-housed the former champion,
gradually wearing him down until
two arm scissor holds coming in
rapid succession caused Caddock's
shoulders to touch the mat. The
time for the second fall was l hour
Is minutes and As seconds.
After ten minutes rest the wres-
tiers used up the remaining thirty
three minutes of the match with
neither scoring a fall. or the two,
Londos was the stronger at the fin
ish.
Caddock lived up to his reputation
as a wrestler with a variety of holds.
He brought into play all oil the thou
sand in his repertoire and then some.
Promoter Frank Schuier has offered
$40, 900 for match here New Years
day between Caddock and Worlds
Champion stranger" Ed Lewis, OF

CASE is REVERSED.

The case OF the State VS.. Clare
Eaton was reversed and remanded
in a decision of the supreme court
which reached Audubon yesterday.
The case was tried in the district
court about year ago. The decis-
ion was against Eaton, who through
his attorneys, Mantz & White, car
ried the case to the supreme court.
More facts will be given later when
the opinions of the court have been
received. Mr.. Eaton is receiving
the congratulations of his friends,
many of whom were firm in their
belief that he was not guilty of the
charges brought against him.

MANY ATTRACTIVE WINDOWS

There are many attractive snow
windows in the business section OF
Audubon this fall. The windows
drawing especial attention are those
of Halvorsen & Co., Erving Johnson
and the Alderman Co. While many
others are neat and attractive, yet
the one on which more effort and
time has been expended is the one at
the Halvorsen & Co. store. Mr.. Hal
vorsen is an experienced window
decorator, having in years past won
prizes in that line of work. The win
dow he has arranged for the holiday
season is original and bears out the
spirit of the season.

In the knit goods line. and partlcu-
larly In hosiery. artificial silk has
now a large general use. but Il is
also widely employed on ehawls,
sweaters and caps. Many Of these are
being made wholly or in part OF artl-
ilcial silk.
So great has been the demand for
silk that chemists for years have
tried TO produce a product that would
meet the requirements Of silk users.
As early as 1854. the French natural
list. Reaumur, called attention TO the
fact that silk was a liquid gum which
hardened, and asked II silk could not
be made with other gums and resins,
but IL was not until 1866 that the
French Count. Hilaire De Chardonnet,
actually pointed the way 10 The manu-
facture OF artificial silk The artin-
cial silk produced by the Chardonnet
method had its flrst great success at
the Exposition Of Paris In 1889, when
10 attracted wide attention and the
method was adopted by numbers Of
factories in France and in other coun-
tries.
Since that time some OF the largest
companies In the world with the best
technical STATS have been engaged in
searching out improved processes for
making artificial silk. The artiflcial
silk now produced has even more
lustre than the natural silk. and Is
strong and flexible and very flne. Al
though, as a general rule. artificial
silk has not The strength OF the best
OF real silk, nevertheless IL Is FAR su-
perior as a fabric to those grades OF
natural silk which have been cheap
ened in various processes Moreover,
10 frequently lasts longer than natural
silk because II Is less susceptible 10
the action Of acids used In laundry
work.
So closely does the artificial silk
appropriate the finest grade OF ma
tural silk in lustre, flexibility, beauty
, OF color and durability, that they are
hardly distinguishable by the ordi-
nary laymen. What is sold as natural
silk not only includes the best grades,
but also the silk spun from waste
material such as the less desirable
fiber from imperfect cOcOons and CO.
c0ons which have been damaged.
Artificial silks so perfectly fulfil all
the requirements OF the finest grade
Of natural silk as to be among the
most desirable fabrics known to man
kind, and the science OF making arti-
( cial silk has progressed to such
stage that millions Of users need no
longer be dependent on the silkworm.
