BRINGING UP FATHER TOUH. ABOUT BURNS-WILLJRAIN PETERS FOR MATCH Farmer Will Prepare Papillion Carpenter for His Bout With Joe Stecher. IS MAft WHO MADE 60TCH Farmer Burns, the grand old man of the mat game and sometimes called "the mastnr wrestler," has taken Charlie Peters, the Papillion carpenter, in tow and will train him for his approaching clash with Joe Stecher at the Omaha Auditorium, February 9. Burns will start to put Peters 'through a rigid and exhaustive course of training at (us Tylee's gymnasium today. Last week four boils broke out on Peters, but Charlie has re covered from them and will be able to, go through all his training tricks from now until the day of the bout. Peters' stock is expected to go up considerably with the old Farmer act ing as his tutor. Burns is the man who made a champion out of Frank Gotch. "I Gotch, was nothing but a green farmer boy, strong and familiar with a few of the elementary tricks ofj wrestling. Burns taught Gotch all his own tricks with the result that in a few short weeks Gotch became the greatest in the world. Peters, like Gotch, is strong and fast, but he knows a lot more about wrestling than Gotch did when the Farmer took hold of him. And it is expected that when the day of his bout with Stecher arrives Peters will be a much more skillful grappler than he is today, as a result of the teach ings of the Farmer." The Papillion man, intends to train every morning and every afternoon right up to the day of the bout. Stecher, it is believed, will do all his training at ,his home in Dodge.

Lincoln Heights Improvers Want Quarter Million Refund The Lincoln Heights Improvement club went on record in favor of the Strehlow bill, an, amendment to the Metropolitan Water district bill, to require a refund of approximately $250,000 paid by property owners for service extensions since the city took over the plant four and a half years ago. ' Under municipal ownership prop erty owners have paid 50 cents per front foot for extensions placed along their streets. Under the private own ership regime individual property owners did not have to bear that burden. The 50-cent-,per-foot charge has caused many complaints since the water plant was taken into the mu nicipal family. The Strehlow bill provides for .repeal of this feature of the law and also provides for a refund of the money paid by prop erty owners for extensions. Under municipal ownership many property owners have been required to pay the 5U-cent-per-foot charge notwithstanding they already had water service from mains in streets some distance from their property. A vigorous effort is being made to enlist the support of all members of the Douglas county legislative dele gation in this measure.
