Fur and Hanson in Return Wrest.
ling Match.

A mat event of more than local
Importance will be staged at the Fish
& Untz skating rink next Thursday
night when Henry Furr, local wrest-
leT, will meet Gustave Hanson, a ma
tional figure in the mat game, in a
finish graphing match.
! Furr, it will be recalled, boosted
his reputation as wrestler some
weeks ago by staying a stipulated
time with this same grappler, Han
son, who was here with the Robinson
circus. The showing made by Furr
on that occasion caused many to be-
lieve that he had a good chance to
conquer in real honest-to-goodness
finish match, so it has been arranged
for these two to meet here and de-
eide by three-fall match, just which
one is the better man.
Hanson has been the hero of many
mat bout, meeting all comers at
near his weight; and gaining falls
over some Of the best wrestlers in
the United States. His engagements
have carried him from coast to coast
in mat events. Furr has natural
ability on the mat that overcomes
his lack of experience and his friends
are predicting that this coming con-
test will put him in the limellght
permanently,

PANTHERS -AGGIES
PLAY SIX-SIX TIE
Yesterdays Football Scrimmage
Fails to Prove Victory for
Either Team.

The Wesson Aggies and the Brook
haven Panthers battied to 6-6 tie
on the local gridiron yesterday, fur
nishing the thousand or more fans
with a full measure of thrills and ex-
element. The students of the A. H.
s. came down in full force bring
ing with them every known device
for making noise.
While the Panthers fought level,
determined battle, the daring attack
and determined defense of the nor
mai Panther game was lacking On
ly Woodward, Decell, Tad Smith,
Swain and Summers seemed to be
sin usual form. The rest of the Pan
theirs played football, all right e.
nough, but the poppy, snappy buncn
of Panthers remembered from the
Natchez and Magnolia games were
simply not seen in yesterdays game.
Here is what the captain of each
team has to say of the battle:-
"It was hard-fought game from
start to finish said Capt. Herman
Smith "but believe the Panthers
would have gained more territory if
they had resorted more to the for
ward pass. All our gains were made
by the aerial route and off-tackle
bucks. Somehow, we didn't have the
snap of previous games.
"Brookhayen is my home, and
Copiah-Lincoln my school. so it seems
should be satisfied with tie score;
still, one can't help being loyal to
ones school, I am well pleased with
the game the Aggies put up, and the
credit for splendid fight goes not
to any individual, but to the entire
eleven, stated Capt. Happy Apple
white.

TWO FORD TRUCKS
STOLEN LAST NIGHT
Henry Furr Loses in Raid by
Auto Thieves at Home Near
Bogue Chitto.

Two Ford trucks belonging to
Henry Furr were stolen last night
from in front of the home of Henry's
parents, miles west Of Bogue Chit
to. Henry, who was at home last
night, retired about 10:30. He did
not hear any noise during the night,
due, no doubt, to the fact that the
thieves pushed the trucks away from
the house by hand, as is evidenced
by the tracks Of two men.
''The tracks of one of the men are
the longest tracks I've ever seen"
declared Henry this afternoon, in
telling of the missing trucks. "The
other fellows tracks were small, ap-
parently about number six shoe"
Henry stated that a man in. Buick
car who drove from Jackson this
morning, told of passing Ford
truck just beyond Beauregard.
A Mr.. Walker of Norheld, who was
sick last night, told Of hearing a
Ford truck pass through Norfeld a.
bout midnight and wondered at the
time who could be haullng lumper
at that time of the night.
o. C. Reed, who lives south Of Bo-
que Chitto, stated that some one
stole an Ajax tire from his car some
time during the night. Henry says
one of his trucks had bad casing,
and it is thought that the thieves
taking Reeds tire are the same ones
who stole Furr's trucks, and that the
defective casing on the truck caused
some trouble in the getaway, hence,
the taking Of the tire. Mr.. Reed
stated that the racks of he man who
stole his tire were small, he guessed
about a number six shoe.
From all the evidence gathered SO
for at is believed that the long-foot-
ed man took one truck north and
smal-footed one took the other truck
south,

Young Lincoln Man Gets
Bond oh Statutory Charge

Columbus Smith, aged 20, charged
with a statutory offense, had his pre-
liminary hearing before Justice ]. E.
Barron Friday morning, and was
bound over to await the action of the
grand jury. His bond was fixed at
$500 which he Immediately arrang-
ed.
Miss Annie Lowe White, the youth
full plaintiff, testified that she was Is
years old; that one evening last
June the Smith boy came to her home
when all the folks were away but
herself; that she and the Smith boy
were together in back bed room for
some time; that she had kept silent
about what trapspired in that room
until recently, when, she testified,
her mother became suspicious of her
condition and forced a confession
from her, which confession followed
an examination by physician who
told her she was something like four
or five months from motherhood.
The plaintiff and defendant are
nrSC cousins, and live In the same
neighborhood some twelve miles
southwest of Brookhaven. 1t is said
that the young man Smith, is en-
gagged to another young lady in the
community.
Attorney A. A. Cohn, counsel for
the defendant, did not put the de-
fendant on the witness stand at the
preliminary hearing, but Smiths
friends say he bitterly denies ever
having wronged the girl in any way
or manner.
Attorney Hugh v. Wall appeared
for the state. The hearing was con-
Quoted behind closed doors, every
one being barred from the court room
save the interested parties, the attor-
neys and the press.
