Loses Match.

j. Z. Slaymaker lost in his match
with VIM. Welch at Comfrey Tuesday
evening. Welch is local wrestler at
Comfrey and he has reason to feel
elated over his victory over such a
celebrated wrestler as Slaymaker.
The first fall went to Welch under
rather peculiar circumstances. The
mat was very small, 12x14, and the
men found it difficult to stay on it in
active work as they were not protect
ed by ropes. During the wrestling
Slaymaker whirled off the mat and
struck his head against the foot lights
and was unconscious for about three
minutes. When "Jess" came to, he
crawled back onto the mat to proceed
with the bout but the referee announc
ed that he had given the fall to Welch.
He made the statement that under
the "rules and regulations of the
wrestling game if man gets hurt
and stops wrestling he forfeits the
fall" This was due to a misunder-
standing Of the rules by the referee as
Slaymaker was injured off the mat but
wanted to wrestle as soon as he recOv-
cred his senses and therefore had not
forfeited the fall by not wrestling
when he was in dreamland. However,
Slaymaker had received a hard bump
in his fall and did not show much pep
in the second fall and Welch pined his
after six minutes of wrestling. The
accident was not due to any rough
work on the part of Welch and was
unavoidable with the small unprotect-
ed mat.
Welch has agreed to give Slaymaker
a return match here the latter part
of the month which is good news to the
local wrestling fans who hope the con-
test will end more favorably. They
hardly want to concede that Welch has
anything on Slaymaker because he
won the match Tuesday evening.
Three or four auto loads of fans
went to Comfrey for the match and
we hope to see good bunch of Com
frey sports over here for the return
match.-Morgan Messenger.

Incidents of this kind bring to mind
the necessity of each town having a

these claims and unless they have the
sanction of that committee the bust

"shell-out' to cause which they lat

Quail Season.

!, The quail season will soon open in
this county and l am very DESTROYS
and very anxious that every sports
man observe the game laws and pur-
chase his hunting license before he
goes hunting. Heretofore the game
laws have not been observed as they
should have been, and the result has
been that the game has been de-
stroyed without protection.
am appointing deputy wardens in
your county for the protec-
ton of your game and fish and this
department is anxious indeed that all
sportsment cooperate with me and
see that the game laws are enforced
and that every hunter buys his IL
cense. Your license fund goes to this
department to. help defray the ex-
penses of enforcing the law for the
protection of game and FISH, and the
law provides. that the department
must live within it's revenues; or in
other words, they can use no fund
except that derived from the sale of
licenses and fines from their convic-
tions.
l am trying to make you a good
game warden. am sportsman and
know that the majority of the
sportsmen in your county are real
men and glad to assist the depart
ment all they can and render this
department valuable service by
speaking a good word for the protec-
tion of the game to your friends and
neighbors and insist that they equip
themselves with hunting licenses be-
fore the season opens. l am trying
to enforce the laws on a high plane
and l am instructing my wardens to
disregard frivolous cases, but to pros
ecute the wilful violators.
The revenue in some counties is so
small 1t is impossible to employ a
warden at salary until the revenue
derived from the county is sufficient
to justify the department to pay sal
aries.
1 will greatly appreciate all CO.
operation and investigation of the
deputies. / expect every sportsman
and the citizens generally to assist
me to stock every stream in Tonnes
see with fine fish, but before / can |
do so, l must have the full coopera-
ton, and the dynamiting and SEEMING

Federal Court Decision.

Attorney General Thos. o. Morris
tells us that the Federal Court has
Just handed down decree in favor
of the West Tennessee Grain Co. The
suit was over $4,000 bushels of corn,
which the West Tennessee Grain Co.
sold to j. c. Shaffer & Co., Chicago,
for October delivery Failing to
get the corn an agreement was made
between the buyer and seller that
the West Tennessee Grain Co. could
have further time thru the month of
November to ship the corn. In the
meantime Shaffer & Co. bought corn
at higher price from other parties,
and sought to recover the difference
between the contract price made
with the West Tennessee Grain Co.
and the price paid. The point in the
suit was to establish proof of agree
ment to allow further time for the
West Tennessee Grain Co. to ship the
corn, which was done by the court
and Shaffer & Co. lost the case.

Passion"
G. P. WILLIAMS,
State Game Warden

Passion" a nine-part super-pro-
duction, with talented Pola Negri
in the leading role and with a cast
numbering about 5000, proved it.
self before capacity audiences at the
Majestic Theatre Sunday to be worthy
of being termed one of the big photo
dramas of the year.
Next to the fact that it is compar-
able with some of the biggest tri-
umphs of the screen, it is interesting
to note that Passion" also brings be-
fore the American public Pola Negri,
a continental actress of rarest charm
and of pronounced ability. Her por-
trayal of the little French milliner,
who by dint of capricious wilfulness
and charm of manners ingratiates
herself into the favor Of king and
eventually becomes ruler of a ma
ton, is unmatched in later day plays
Passion" is superdrama in all
that the term implies. 1t is totally
devoid of the commonplace and rain
tains a suspense and interest which
frequently amounts to veritable
thrill. 1t can truthfully be described
as tremendous spectacle.
The story has to do with the reign
of terror which engulfs a great ma
ton as a result of the king losing his
sense Of proportions because of his
being enamored of girl from the
masses. He makes her his favorite
and soon she comes to rule the ma
ton. AS the tragic upshot of this
she becomes the most hated of all
women and finally is the direct
cause CT the downfall of dynasty at
the hands of an impassioned mob.
Then, when she is most in need of
kings aid, he dies and she becomes
frail woman pitted against the an
CRY onslaughts of mob Yet, de-
spite her transgressions, one seeing
Passion" cannot but feel sympathy
for Jeanne. The great love Of her first
sweetheart and her sacrifice is one of
the most appealing features of the
picture.
Several sumptuouG scenes are to
be noted in Passion" It's story is
logically unfoldcd and the supporting
cast is excellent-Memphis CONNER
