Frank DuCray of Lincoln won
the wrestling match against
George Gions of Aurora at the
Opera house last Tuesday even-
and now holds the middle weight
Championship of Nebraska.
A preliminary wrestle for 20
minutes between John Jeffords of
this city and G. C. Whitehcad
of Mason City resulted in no fall ,
These two 1 oys w test led for 22.2
without either one getting a fall ,
at the time of first match be
tween ( lion anil DuCray. The
honors are so far about even be
tween the two hoys and another
wrestle between them will pro
bably be pulled oil' the next time
a match is held in the city.
Gion secured the first tall in
H15 minutes and DuCray won
the second in 1 ' 5 and the thiul
in 25:30. : Gion previous to this
match held the championship of
the state and the title now passes
to DuCray. The match was in
tensely interesting from start to
finish. The men wera skilled
wrestlers and the wrestle was an
exciting one.
A letter from DuCray to man
ager Great states that he has ft
challenge from Jack Miller of
Chicago , better known as Chicago
Jack , and they are arranging to
have the match here the lattl of
next week or the first f the week
following. Chicago Jack is a 20u
pound man and a very Clever
wrestler. People came from all
parts of the County to see the
Gion-DuCray match and it is
probable that an even latget-
crowd would be out to see Du
Cray tackle Jack Miller.
CHANGES TO BE MADE
IN TWO MAIL ROUTES
Del Ash , the mail carrier ou
the Round Valley route , will
hereafter come back through
Swiss Valley and Senate Valley
instead of coming straight to
Broken Bow from Elton. This
will add about thirty more mail
boxes on his route , making a to
tal of eighty families getting
mail delivered by him.
Postmaster Haumout is in re
ceipt of a communication from
the postoflicc department with
reference to the road travel.d by
Henry Clouse on the Georgetown
route. The department asks for
a plot of the route and for other
information concerning it. A
petition is being circulated by
some of the patrons of the route
to get a public road from the.
Buckeye Ranch to the George
town postoffice , and it is quite
probable that nothing will be
done by the department at Wash-
ington until the petition for the
road is accepted or rejected.
The petition will probably be up
for consideration at thj coming
session of the County Board.
Judge John K. Thompson , of
Grand Island , was in the city a
few days the first of the week
looking after probate matters in
County Court.
Mr. and Mrs. W. A Gaorge re
turned Saturday evening from
Omaha where they spent a few
