The men will wrestle to a finish, the win- ner gaining two falls out of three | and carrying off the lion’s share of the gate receipts besides a large side bet and the championship title. H Both wrestlers are reported today to be in the finest fettle for the match and all indications point to a desper- ate struggle for supremacy. In a broad sense the contest will be one of cleverness against strength and endurance. Gotch is acknowledged to be the cleverest wrestler who ever stepped on the mat. Hackenschmidt employes no little science in his moves, but his main reliance always has been his wonderful power of strength and endurance. Gotch Has Defeated Them All. Nearly all critics are agreed that Frank Gotch is the greatest wrest- ling champion since the days of Jack| Carkeek, when the latter was at his best: Neot so many years ago Gotch was working on a farm in_Iowa. Farmer” Burns, the old-time wrest- ler, owned the farm, and it was as That was Since that time the lowan has engaged in 331 match- es, not counting many minor affairs, and of this number he lost only sev- en, five of them being handicap matches, in which he failed to throw {his man as many times as agreed. Gotch practically became champion in 1906 when he defeated Tom Jen- kins at Kansas City. Jenkins was then considered the best in the coun- try. Among other well known wrest- lers whom Gotch has mastered may | be mentioned Duncan McMillan, Carl Pons, “Farmer” Burns, Jim Parr, Ed. Atherton, Americus, Yankee Rodgers, Dr. Roller, Fred Beell, and Hjalmer Lundin. His greatest match was with George Hackenschmidt, when he won the championship three years 2go. Goteh won without a fall, as | Hackenschmidt gave up after 2 hours and 8 minutes of work on the mat without any sign of a fall. Hack an All Around Athlete. There is probably no athlete in the world with a greater reputation than George Hackenschmidt. Previous to taking up wrestling he was consid- ered the strongest man in Europe, and he was also one of the greatest athletes in all-round work. His first notable mat contest was with Paul man champion of the world. Hack- enschmidt won the match in 46 min- utes. His success determined him to become a professional wrestler. In the succeeding years he defeated all the best men of Europe, without any apparent trouble. One of the most exciting matches he ever had was when he met Madrali, the “Terrible ship. Notwithstanding the great Hackenschmidt defeated him in just 44 seconds. Not until he met Frank Gotch did the big Russian know the sting of defeat. Hackenschmidt ac- knowledged that Gotch is the clev-| erest man in the game, but he de-| clares that in the coming match he will be able to undermine the strength of the champion with his far greater strength and in the end will be returned the winner.

One day they rode to the top of Pike's Peak on bur- ros, returning by way of a train which runs daily over the mountain. They visited at Maniton, a little vil- lage at the foot of the mountains and from there went to the Cave of the Winds. = They went out on the Moffat Road which is the highest standard gauge railroad in the world. In going out on this they went ta Corona, the alti- | tude of which is 11,660 feet, and then over the Continental Divide. Then they took the Georgetown Loop trip, whieh is a trip up the moun- tain. Here they saw beautiful scene-| ry and at the end of the trip came to a little town named Silver Plume. At this place they visited the Bur- leigh Mine which is the oldest mine in the state of Colorado. On their return Mfss Cameron vis- ited friends at Chippewa Falls, Wis., while Miss Murphy came directly home to take up her duties in thej office of the register of deeds. WRIGHT MACHINES ARE TO FLY| State Fair Management Has Made Prepmfimm for Daily Flights of Flying Machines, i Frank Coffyn and Howard Gill are the two aviators who will direct the Wright machines ip. their daily flights at ithe Minnesota State Fair. A“telegrath wa recejwsd.last night from the Wright headquarters at Dayton, Ohio, to this effect. A carload of Wright machines ‘has already reached St. Paul and will be taken at once to the fair grounds. Everything possible will be done to make the aviation features at the state fair sensational. Under the contract the aviators must take their machines to a height of two hun- dred feet and remain in the air ten minutes or they wjll receive no pay for the flight. This insures regular performance no matter what the| ‘weather conditions may be. Of the men selected to do the air piloting at Minnesota Mr. Coffyn is probably the best known. He was one of the most successful of the ‘Wright aviators and promises some- thing unusual in the record break- ing line while here. There is one farmer in Bedalia, Mo., who paid ten dollars to see a Wright machine fly last year during the fair. And this is how it hap- pened. The aviator, -Mr. Coffyn, was strol- ling through the crowd outside of the race track, when he happened to hear a heated argument between two farmers who were discussing as to ‘whether or not the peculiar looking machine out in the field would fly. In a few minutes quite a crowd sur- rounded the disputants, some taking sides for and others against the pos- sibility of such a curious machine rising in the air. At the phyehologi- cal moment Coffyn walked up to the one who was positively asserting that the machine could not fly and| asked him whether he was ready to bet his money on the result. Mr. Farmer immediately hauls out a brand new ten dollar bill, which was immediately covered and Coffyn then jumped over the fence, crawled into the machine and made a magnificent i flight of almost thirty minutes. When the aviator returned to collect his money, the farmer was Tight there with a broad smile on his face and said: “The drinks are on me alright, but goldarned if I'da put up my money if I'da thought I was talking to the fiyer himself.” The moral of the story is this: Never bet your money against the Wright machines for you will surely lose; if the wind is so strong that the flags at the fair grounds are standing out like a beard in a thirty- mile wind, don’t bet that the ma- chine will not go up, you’ll surely loose. If the machine is advertised to go 3,000 feet or 5,000 feet, or any old thing, you put the money on the machine, ° Jennings, Jewell & Barlow in their act, “The Dope, the Dutchman and the Girl,” are “great.” Alone they would make an evening’s entertain- ment worth seeing. ‘COUNTY FAIR LOOKS (GOOD’ SAYS RITCHIE W. C. Klein to Look After Grounds and Repair Work During Absence of Secretary. WILL LOOK AFTER CONCESSIONS Competition Becoming Keen for Cup Offered by the State Dairy Association. NEW FLOOR FOR ART BUILDING White, Arnold and Jester on Enter- tainment Committee—Plans to Develop Later. During the absence of A. P. Rit- chie, secretary of the Beltrami Coun- ty Fair association, W. C. Klien will look after the necessary work that is to be donme on and about the fair grounds. Mr. Klien stated this morning that work would begin Monday on the re- pairing of the fences and the barns and display buildings. A new floor will be laid in the art exhibit build- ing, the barns and sheds will be put into first class condition and the race course will be scraped and made ready for the races. Word was received from Mr. Rit- chie today that prospects for the best county fair in Northern Minnesota can be looked for in the Beltrami county fair. He said, “The prospects for a splendid county exhibit are promising. I find that people in gen- eral are interested in our county fair. It looks that we are going to have several competing heads of cattle for State Dairy association. This fair is. intended Yor a “Farmer’s Fair” and| every effort will be made to stimu- late agricultural industries.” Definite plans of the entertain- ment committee have as yet not been completed. The members of this committee are A. P. White, Al Jes- ter and Frank Arnold. It can gen- erally be banked upon that when men of this caliber are in charge of giv- ing the people of this and surround- ing counties something for amuse- ment and entertainment it will be worth while. From this day on something new and of interest will occur that will interest fair goers in this vicinity. Developments in the horse races and exhibitions in the various depart-| ments are expected to hold the atten- tion of the citizens of the city and county. W. C. Klien has also been given charge of the concessions to be let during fair week here Sept. 13, 14 and 15. I C. G. JOHNSON SELLS BUSINESS | Partnership of Anderson and Johnson Has Been Dissolved.

Dumas was brought from his home in Cass Lake io Be- midji yesterday afternoon by Deputy United Staies Marshal Frank Tufts and arraigned before Court Commis- sioner H. A. Simons. He waived examination and was bound over to await the action of the Federal Grand Jury, which meets in Fergus Falls November 14. Judge Simons placed the bail bonds $10,000 which were signed by Fred- erick Dumas of Minneapolis, father of the defendant and J. W. Johnson of Cass Lake. The charge as prepared by Assist- ant United States Attorney J. W. Dickey contained the following: “On the 14th day of Jume, A. D. 1911, at Bemidji, in the County of Beltrami, in the State and District of Minnesota, Delbert F. Dumas, Martin Behan and Mike Davis, all of said District then and there be- ing; did then and there wrongfully, unlawfully and feloniously conspire, ‘combine, confederate and agree to- gether and with one another to com- mit an offense against the United States, to-wit: feloniously to take and carry away certain personal property belonging to the United States, to-wit: postage stamps of the value of six hundred dollars ($600.00) and lawful and current money of the United States of.the value of one hundred and sixty-dol- lars ($160.00), a more particular description of which said postage stamps and money is to complainant unknown, which said postage stamps and money were then and there con- tained in the post office of the Unit- ed States at Puposky in said County, State and District; and that to ef- fect the object of such comspiracy, confederacy, confederation, combina- tion and agreement, the said Martin Behan and the said Mike Davis did on the 17th day of June, A.

Judge Marshall A. Spooner, chief counsel for the defense, was not en- tirely surprised at the action of the government. It was the general im- pression that inasmuch as the Cass Lake mayor was within easy hailing distance at all times, the United States would leave the case to the disposal of the state before it brought action.
