outcome.
Gotch won by -'i biy margin, getting"
two falls in twenty minutes, com-

of whom great things were expected.
The betting odds closed at 7 to 5
with Gotch on the long end. From
indications this will be the last big
match that is championship match in
many years because of Uoteh's super-

What is the Cause of All This
I1 lie Secretary of the Bank Robber's Union, writes us,
that owing to the dry weather, their business has fallen off
40 per cent in the last UOdays.
The Joint "Keepers report "owing to the unsettled con-
dition of the prohibition market, our business is at a stand
still".
The local gamblers claim, that very few lambs are
coining in from the country and that but few fleeces are be-
ing taken and those mostly from old wethers around town.
The Brotherhood of American Horsethieves is on a
tottering condition, caused by the poor quality of horses
now in the hands of the farmers.
The farmers state, that the drouth has reduced their
crops about ,"io per cent and that taters will continue high.
The Bankers say that money is close but not close
enough to reach.
The dry goods and the clothing men assure us that the
people are wearing but few clothes these days and they
are of the finest kind.
The only real good news we have to offer is that, U. S.
Tubbs, Phone ill, is still doing a good business at the old
stand and tomorrow they will sell to those who ask for it,
o 10 cent cans of Pork and Beans for a quarter.
