Marlus Christensen and Maynard
Osborn have finished taking the vil
lage census for the village board.
They found a population of 1590.
Saturday night there was a mix-up
on the street in front of the Western
Drug Company store which resulted
In the breaking of the laundry wag
on in wheels and shafts, and also
tore the horse's harness badly.1 Mr.
Bush was tipped over and the bridge
of his nose badly bruised. It was a
mighty good bridge to withstand a
break. The cause of all the rumpus
was a car driven by Ira J. Hammond
of Akron. Colorado, who with a com
panion was going down at a thirty
mile clip down Rose street and did
not turn out soon enough to avoid
colliding with the laundry wagon.
The car then speeded off main street
and was making a get-away without
lights, but unfortunately for them
they got too far west to cross the
Burlington and In returning to find
a crossing the police got them. The
two men were put In Jail, each hav
ing a rare fine Jag to unload,, but
when sober they were allowed to go
after paying for all damage. It is
said they had a nice lot of booze In
their car to take over into the arid
state.

RUCKLES WANTS MATCH
Smith Bays He Is Perfectly Willing
to Take a Chance with Oma
ha Man In the King
A letter from Guy Buckles of Om
aha Informs us that he Is anxious to
meet Tommy Smith in the squared
circle any time Smith says the word.
He also states that be is Id the best
of condition and owing to the fact
that he has outgrown the middle
weight class he Is anxious to try his
luck with the heavyweights.
Buckles has a splendid record,
having met such men as Clabby, Bak
er, Tony Caponl, George (Knockout)
Brown and Tommy McCarthy. He Is
now ratWas the best light, heavy
weight boxer in the middle west, and
while be does not under-rate Smith,
still he figures he can take his num
ber as well as the rest of the good
ones he has met recently.
As for Smith, he says that he is
perfectly willing to take a chance
with the Omaha "phenom". and will
box him as soon as the arrangements
can be made satisfactorily to him.
While Smith- has never fought a
champion, he has a "hunch" that
there are a good number of the pres
ent day top-notchers that he could
defeat if the opportunity should pre
sent itself.
Local promoters are anxious to se
cure this high-class match between
Buckles and Smith as they figure
such a show would pack the largest
hall in the city. They anticipate
staging it the latter part - of the
month. ..v t ,
