WARD
PLESTINA AT LAST
LANDS GOFOR SELF
John Pesek, Western Nebraska
Boy, Agrees to Take Chance
With 0m0 ha Wrestler.
ALL THE OTHERS EICK OUT
ftcr coaxing, teasing. -wheedling
;mkI threatening every wrestler and
wrestling manager that lias hit these
parts in the last six niotiths, Marin
l'lcstina, the big Omaha wrestler, has
finally discovered a grappler who has
signified a willingness to take a
chance, John Pesek, a coming heavy
weight who hails from Shelton, Neb.,
is t lie chop.
Several rhiys ago Pesek tangled witli
cue Jack Rose at Silver Creek. Neb.,
dumping Mr. Hose in short order, A
representative of I'lestina challenged
Pesek, who accepted. The bout will
take place in cither Ravenna or Shel
ton in the near future.
Pesek is a Bohemian youngster who
sprang up a short time ago ou t in the
western part .of Nebraska and has
made a meteoric advance through
hush league wrestling circles. He held
Joe Steelier off for thirty minutes and
he earned a draw with Jack Taylor,
the Canadian champion. Wrestling
fans out around Ravenna and Shelton
and in Hall and Buffalo counties re
gard Pesek as a coining champion and
declare with a little more experience
he will be a 'rhatcN for Joe Stecher.
He is a willing youngster and will
wrestle anybody that puts in an ap
pearance. When Plestina heard that
Pesek might be coaxed into a match
he immediately set his plans and got
his first match in six months.
Happy as Child.
For half a year Plestina has been
working out in Omaha and praying
for somebody to clash with. He tried
to get a match with Steelier, but
couldn't. He challenged Strangler
Lewis, but a year ago Plestina tied
Lewis into a knot and the Strangler
didn't want to get into a real, mix
with the Omaha heavyweight. ' He
has challenged Earl Caddock a num
ber of times. And he's challenged
Ernst and Aberg and Cutler and all
the rest of them, but without avail.
Now at last he's got a match in sight
and is as happy as a child with a new
toy.
"I've only got one regret about this'
match," said Plestina. "If I beat Pesek
quick, I'll never get a chance to meet
Caddock or the rest of them."
Brandeis Drop Out
Of Tri-City League
And All Is Peaceful
The Brandeis team will drop out of
the Tri-City league' and that basket
hall organization.1 which almost ex
ploded on the opening night, may now
continue. J. J. Isaacson, manager of
the Brandeis five, said yesterday his
team would drop out ill order to pre
vent any ill feeling. Other quintets
in the league threatened to quit ii the
Brandeis were allowed to take part
because of the superiority of the de
partment store athletes.
Bud Kearns will organize a team of
Young Men's Christian association
secretaries to play in the league and
everything, it is believed, will be
amiable; .
The Brandeis will have to book
games with outside teams in order to
get opponents.

Dean Kerr, Link Boxer,
In Omaha After Trouble
Dean Kerr, welterweight boxer
from Lincoln, breezed into Omaha
yesterday looking for trouble. Kerr is
ii welt setup youngster who is either a
skillful chap or hasn't been in the
game a long time, as he hasn't a mark
on him, not even a symptom of a bud
ding cauliflower ear. Kerr would like
to tangle up with some of the local
welterweights and even is willing to
give away a few pounds if there aren't
auv welters ready to meet him.
Studes Aver Dean
Has Self to Blame
For Banquet Broil
Lincoln, Dec. 13. (Special.) Lack
of interest by the faculty in student
affairs that was the cause for the
disorder at the recent Cornhusker
banquet, according to the crisp an-
swer which the Innocents, the senior
society m charge of the student af
fairs, makes to the charges brought
by Dean Engberg. . '
The Innocents aver that had Dean
Engberg shown enough interest to
attend, along. with some of the other
faculty members, the rowdyism might
have been eliminated. The dean was
given an opportunity to purchase a
ticket, but did not seem to care to be
present, they say.
Here is the answer which they gave
out:
"The greatest ingratitude is the at
titude which he has taken for the
honest efforts put forth by the men
to counteract the very things which
he condemns. The 'facts of tb case
are that every precaution to prevent
rowdyism and vulgarity shown at the
Cornhusker banquet in 1915 was
taken. His knowledge of the affair
is not first hand and he expressed
himself on hearsay on the matter.
The all-important question is, 'Why
were not the faculty members there
to help out in such a situation?' Their
answer comes back that they did not
have an opportunity to buy a ticket.
The man who says that is mistaken,
as they were on sale at the college
book store. Dean Engberg himself
had an invitation to buy a ticket and
another faculty member when ap- I
proached said he considered it a dis
grace to he asked to attend such an
affair. This was the general fac
ulty attitude.
"The one who could have been and
should have been the keynote to the
situation was not there and'yet in his
absence he asks that a bunch of thir
teen men Jake responsibility for the
misplaced enthusiasm."

Word was received in Fremont of in railroading at Nampa. He recent-

To substantiate the claim that the
United States Live Stock company
never owned but a small number of
the wild horses it sold or traded, gov
eminent attorneys in the "wild horse"
case yesterday afternoon called Will
ard M. Drake, professor of forestry
in the University of Montana and for
mer forest supervisor of the Coconino
county reserve, to testify as to the
real number of horses on the range.
"TUjcre never were over 3,500 horses
on the entire range," the supervisor
said. "And of this number about half
were the property of homesteaders
and ranchers. The others were
mavericks, and, according to the laws
of Arizona, were the property of the
state." . " i ' I
That the United,' States Live Stork
company never, owned more than 300
of the wild horses bearing the Smith
brands was told by the supervisor.
"1 was asked for a permit Uy the
United States Li,- Stock company to
graie 1.000 head of animals oh the
reserve, but I denied the request, for
I had positive evidence that the com
pany had sold many times this num
ber of animals."
Expected Some Colts. 1
"C. M. Thompson, treasurer, wrote
me and said that although his com
pany had sold a few horses he thought
it still had about the original number
because of the increase of colts."
Government attorneys pointed out
that the . United States Live Stock
company claimed to own about 5,000
of the horses on the range and to have
sent this information through the
mails. -
The supervisor testified that .Coco
nino countv is about 2,100 miles

square and that it would be a physical
impossibility to cajh'h them. ,
i'.il Johnson, live stock inspector,
formerly of Flagstaff, and now of
Saligma. Aril., corroborated the testi
mony of former Supervisor Drake. In
answer to a question of capturing one
of (he wild horses, se said that using
an aeroplane was about the only way
of running down a wild horse.
"I saw lots of persons on the range
with, bills of sale looking for horses,
but they seldom found them,"(, he
tesihed. ,
"And after the horses were caught
they were not worth over $12 a head."
Saw Them Through Telescopt.
Frank Kairchlld, former constable
and deputy sherd! ofKlagstalf and
Coconino countyv corroborated the
testimony of the supervisor, as did
Tom Walker of Humbolt, Ariz,, for
mer cowpuncher at Flagstalf.
Fairchifd said that it would cost
more to capture one of the animals
than it was worth and in so doing
many good horses werj ruined.
A. B. Cox, Kansas City real estate
dealer, made a deal for John Hcn
drirkson, out of his clients, he estified.
"I went out after the horses, but I
never caught any.
"1 chased seven in a corral oner,
but they went straight thrqugh.
"I took a telescope, along and occa
sionally saw a few, hut 1 never got
close enough to, distinguish the
brands.
"Once I remarked to J. S. Smith,
who was in FlagstatT, that It was a
pretty haro thing to catch the wild
horses. - '
"Smith said that I wasn't supposed
to catch them." ' '
