D. J. Dreberfc was in the city
Tuesday , assisting the local agent ,
I. M. Eice , in taking up Nebraska
Merc. Ins. Co. policies and re
writing them in the German of
Omaha.
Some thought the wrestling
match was all a fake. The.y say
Fugate thought so , too , until it
was all over. We have always
believed the matches to be fair but
fiere's lots of. talk to the con
trary now. Its probably done up
the business here. People won't
go and pay 75c or $1 for fake
matches.
Charles W. Allen of Merriman
was in our city yesterday on busi
ness and dropped into our ofliec
for a friendly call. Mr. Allen is
an old newspaper man and likes
to hover around a printing office
yet. Mr. Allen is paid to be a
g"od writer and is a Bryan demo
crat. He is firm in the belief that
it is time for a good old - democratic
cratic victory at the next election
and expects to be heard from
along that linn.Vo think Charley
is right and that W. J. BO sn i ?
stronger man now than he has
been before. His words have
sunk deep into the hearts of
the American people and
he is recognized here and abroad
a the most prominent national
figure in American politics , hon
ored as a private citizen by the
crowned heads of Europe and
Asia as no other min has been
aid is looked upon at home as the
highest lype of American citizen
ship. Mr. Bryan is also sought
by all leading assemblies of "a nonpolitical -
political nature , the most accept
able public speaker in the world.
Hurrah for W. J. Bryan , the
coming president of these United
States. Let us all get together
under the banner of democratic
refgrm and go forth to victory.
L. C. Sparks returned Saturday
morning from attending the teach
ers meeting at Lincoln where he
was one of the speakers at a ban
quet in which he is said to have
done honor to Cherry county in
an able speech on the subject "In
the Good Old Days. " Mr. 'Sparks
was honored by a seat on the right
of Gov. Sheldon. He returned
via Northeastern Iowa , bringing
his mother home with him.
THE WRESTLING MATCH
N alentine has had a real wrest
ling match. Of course it was all
one sided but it couldn't have been
anything else under the circum
stances.
Al Powers came to Valentine
some time before or after Christ
mas and immediately made himself
known as a wrestler and told the
boys he was a d n good one ,
too. The boys didn't care to dis
pute it personally bub thought
they could call up a man who
would accommodate him and trot
ted out Wm. Fugate of Oasis.
Powers looked him over and laugh
ed at him , said he could throw
him over a piano. The boys were
inclined to believe he could but
thought he would have a hard time
putting Fugate on his back with
two shoulders down and wanted
Fdgate to goon the mit with him.
Fugate seemed leary , wanted to
talk ifc over.
Finally it was agreed that Pow
ers and Fugate would wrestle ,
Powers to throw Fugate t\vic3 in
40 minutes of wrestling time.
They clamcd to put up § 20 ,
apiece and announced that the
winner was to , have total gate re
ceipts. This seemed to strike the
public as the most equal match
that could be made of it and some ,
:
"handicap wrestling match" bills '
were struck oir , culling for the
match Monday night , Jan , 6th.
The news was noised around
that Fugate was going to get i
j
dumped and a big crowd came to '
SQC it done. Some ladies were al
so induced to go and the gate re
ceipts amounted to about § 120.
Several preliminaries amused
the people but they waited for
the big match. . A match between
Ed Mart y , local , and Pete Jensen
of Atlantic , la. , was fast and fur-

ioas , up and down , and full of
thrilling movements. Jensen got
the first fall and Marty tired out
in the second round out of wind
and left Jensen the victor.
The wrestlers selected Clarence
Hanson of Goddes , S. D. , for ref
eree. Nobody seemed to have
seen or heard of him before but
he was introduced as a wrestler of
experience who would act as "our
referee. "
The match didn't last long and
wasn't interesting until the whole
thing was , over. The.y walked
around like they were lazy for ten
minutes and then Powers ot busy
and rolled Fugate over on his
back in 5 # minutes more. The
next fall he got in 6 ? minutes by
the scissors hold on Fugate's body ,
holding h's left arm on the floor by
Powers' light and with left ] ulled
Fugal.e's head backwards to the
mat. Fugate claimed Powers used
strangle hold on him and the
audience wa instantly in a dis
graceful uproa.- , showing plainly
that it was not a fit place for la
dies until the men become civil
ized , powers told the audience
that they had been hum-bugged
so long that when a wrestle was
pulled oil'on the squaie they didn't
realize or appreciate it.
Some thought it was cruel to
throw Mr. Fugate on such severe
holus. Mr. Fugate thought so ,
too , and demanded a division of
the gate money , wnicli some people
ple say had been agreed upon before -
fore , when Powers gaye Fugate
§ .jO to bet that the latter would
stay JO minutes and which Fugate
turned over to Leu Bivens T ! ey
also say that Povvt-rs 1 ad given
Will Shepard § 50 to call LIH bet , ;
and there you have it.
Powers was a little smooth as
well as a good wild talker , and
could wrestle some , too.
