COURSE CAN BE BUILT

William Zimmerman, owner of the
Fairy Lake Resort, has had experts
look over his proposed site for golf
links during the past ten days, and
has been advised that a course can
be built at a cost not to exceed So, 900.
He has also visited Alexandria and
found that the course there only con-
tains Al acres and that the club has
a nine hole course. Mr.. Zimmerman
has over 70 acres which he can de-
velop into course. He intends to
start work on a six hole course at
once and has not given up hope that
the local business men will combine
with him in making the course.
Last weeks Herald stated thai
there was a possibility of giving uI
the utilization with Mr.. Zimmerman
because the first estimate Of cost wa:
entirely too high. However, many o.
the business men signed the proposed
club list, not so much because the!
were interested in the actual play
ing of the game of golf, but becaus'
they desired to assist Mr.. thinner.

course ready for play the early par

affair opened with four boxing bouts
in which every class of the game was
featured. The first of these was a.
batting-up, three round affair be-
tween Clarence Dickinson and
young" LeSeuer. The lads played
about the arena through a six minute
event-no decision.
Milton Fish and Charley Allen, Jr.,
who performed in the ring here at
a previous event, were the second
preliminary called. Both are welter-
weights, and their exhibition showed
some improvement over their last ap-
pearance. There was more real
science shown by both combanants,
but there was no decision.
The first professional bout of the
evening was the third preliminary
between Alvin Kirk and J. I. Bently,
(Kid Casey of Osakis. Both boys
have been playing around in Mike
Gibbons back yard out at Osakis
Lake, and have picked up something
of the science of this professional
game. They staged pretty sparring
match and were well received.

Attempt Made to Burg

Turning on of Lights Frightened
Away Mauraders Early We'd
nesday Morning.

What is believed to have been an
attempt to burglarize the j. A.
Caughren home here early Wednesday
morning, was forestalled when the
occupants of the house heard the per-
son or persons at the kitchen door,
and turned ON the lights. With the
coming of the lights, the burglars
ran through the back yard and made
an escape before they could be recog-
nized or their numbers ascertained.
Discovery of the attempt was made
at about 1:3O Wednesday morning.
The men had broken into the wood
she'd in the rear Of the house and
were attempting to open the kitchen
door when they were heard by per-
sons in the house.
A police alarm was Immediately
turned in, but the culprits had made
their getaway before the police ar
rived on the grounds.
On the same evening an attempt
was made to enter the home of Henry
Raider north Of the river, but the
parties were heard at the door and
heightened away before the police
arrived on the scene. Two other
homes reported being annoyed the
same night.

TOLL RATES INCREASED

An increase in telephone toll rates
was inaugurated by the Northwest
ern Bell Telephone company through
the Sank Centre exchange beginning
April 1st. This increase was not
given to the local exchange on a per-
centage basis, but stipulated that the
advance was only in calls over the
toll lines. The Minneapolis rate,
which under the old scale for person
to person service, was 80 cents, has
been advanced to $1.10 and the same
rate for station to station service was
increased from IS cents to 80 cents.
The new schedule, however, has no
effect so far as local service is con-
cerned, the rate on residence and on
business telephones remaining un-
changed.

Field of Local Sport

Faraer Paul Domke, Sank Centres
heavyweight wrestler, demonstrat-
ed last Thursday that he was still
to be reckoned with in the wrestling
game, when he secured two falls out
of three in his match at the armory
with Jack Milo, Greek wrestler, of
Minneapolis.
The match was the second staged
by both principals, and was finish
affair.
Milo somewhat surprised the audi
ence by securing the first fall of the
evening. He got this in the first II
minutes, scoring his point ON a COM
bination hammerlock and body sis
sors.
There was some fear among the
Domke supporters that this fall would
result disasterously to the local man
because Of an injury to his arm, but
the big fellow came into the ring for
the second try giving evidence of his
great superiority over the Greek, and
threw Milo about the ring at will. He
secured his first fall out of Milo at
the end of AZ minutes, and copied
off the gate receipts by landing his
second fall with a. toe hold in nine
and one half minutes after the third
entry into the ring. In securing his
second fall, Domke obliged Milo to
give up the ghost by forcing a sur
render.
Milo was a poor loser. He beefed
over the first fall Domke secured and
when the local man finally put him
down for the count with the second
fall, he staggered to the ropes and
attempted to address the fans, de-
manding another match in Mime
| apolis. At least 100 people in the
audience saw clearly that Domke had
both shoulders pinned to the mat.
gram because of lack of seats.
Domke's manager is not taking the
| Greek seriously however, and he will
probably not be matched again with
| Domke.
The Milo omke bout was witness
ed here by the largest aggregation OF
fans who ever attended at similar af-
fair in these parts. The big armory
was filed to capacity, many fans be
ing obliged to stand through the pro-
gran because of a lack of seats.
Domke was by far the favorite Of
the evening. His entry was always
greeted with enthusiasm and wher
Milo secured the first fall of the eve
ming, there was real mourning along
the side-lines. Even the band caught
the spirit and broke into dirge dur.
ing the waiting period.
If Milo had any friends in the vasi
audience, he lost them at the close OF
the evenings event. His continual
beefing over decisions and his the
atrical protest and challenge at the
end of the match, did not go down
with the crowd. 1t is doubtful if he
could ever again be received by q
Sank Centre audience.
The opening events of the evenings
sport schedule were pleasing. The
