Vernon was takon Tuesday when tho wrestling tournament was hold in tho Park aud itorium. Horotoforo, Jit. Vernon has novor supported an event of tills kind and as a result, tho general public was not enough Interested to bo In attendance on Tuesday night. About two hundred and fifty were presont when tho first preliminary was announced between John Pryo of Mt. Vernon and "Butch" Walters of Nowark. This event was naturally rather tf.rao as tho men wero Inexper ienced and had to rely on nothing but strength In order to secure a fall. Tho first fall was secured by Walters aftor a few minutes and was secured on no particular hold. The second fall was awarded Fryo who picked up his man and by superior strength, slammed Walters to tho mat with such force that ho was crushed flat on his shoulders. Tho last fall was the tamos t of all, Pryo being "all in" and by a too hold, Walters easily secured tho final fall and tho decision. Tho noxt match was a real wrestl ing match, although in science, Mi ch caux was badly handicapped. Tho men started in like champions and for a row seconds tuoy appeared to bo very ovenly matched in all ways. Soon, however, science began to toll and at tho end of three minutes, An derson secured tho first fall on a per fect too hold. Tho second fall was awarded MIcheaux -who by superior strength of body, throw his man over his shoulder and alighting him square ly on his shoulders. In tho third go of the bout, Anderson used torturing tactics and with the aid of his skill and experience, actually woro his man out, but oven then he could not se cure a fall. MIcheaux gave up after taking ton minutes' sovero punish ment Tho Mt. Vernon boy is ft com er says Lou Wlnslow of Bucyrus and all that ho needs is training and skill. Ho is built llko a Hercules, but his logs aro not properly developed for a wrestler. This, however, could bo remedied in a short time by tho prop er exorcise and training. Noxt camo tho big ovent of tho evening, tho contest for tho middle wolght championship of Ohio. Win slow camo In on tho mat first and was glvon hearty round of applauso. His general appearanco was that of a man of groat strongth and agility but this was soon to bo proven. Shortly after Young Gotch climbed through tho ropes onto tho mat and ho, llko Win slow, was given ample applauso when Introduced to tho fans as tho middle weight champion of Ohio. Shortly af terward, tho word was given by Bof ereo Henry, Newark, and tho bout was on. Tho men parried and feinted for a few seconds and then went at It In earnest, Gotch taking tho offensive.

Tho full and half Nolaon holda woro useless to Ootch as Wlnslow wos oxcocdlngly clovor at broaklng and oludlng that particular hold. Tho first stuigglo lasted for twenty minutes and twonty-slx seconds nnd at tho ond of that tlmo, Wlnslow accidentally mndo a fatal move which onablod Gotch to sccuro a peculiar hold which could not bo broken and ns a result, tho firBt fall was given to aotch. Tho second go was much bettor than tho first In many respects. For twonty-throo minutes nnd twclvo sec onds, tho men battled on tho mat witli no ndvantago apparently for olther. This go was much In favor of Win slow at times when ho choso to take tho offensive. Only at ono tlmo, how ovor, was Gotch In dnnger of being pinned to tho mat. This was rather lato In tho contest whon Wlnslow so cured tho hold which lator on pioved fatal for himself. For a few seconds, things looked blue for Champion Gotch, but by a doxtorous twist, freed himself from tho slow but suro hold which had been secured on him. Tho too hold was a favorito ono In this match, bub only onco was Wlnslow ablo to sccuro It. Finally, on being urged by his second, Young Gotch went at his man llko a demon and In a fow seconds, secured a hold which pulled Winslow across his body In such a manner that little by little and slowly but surely, his shoulders ap proached tho mat on tho other side of Gotch's body. This lasted only about two minutes and then tho ref oroo slapped Gotch on tho back, which moans that ho has secured a fall. After tho contest had been decid ed in favor of Gotch, who still re tains his title, it was annonnced by tho man who promoted this match in Mt.

SWINDLED Were Many Ohio People By Steamer "Agent" Sold Tickets On A Lice That Was Mythical (Columbus Dispatch) Enforcement by Auditor of Slato Fulllngton of tho law requiring steam ship agents to glvo a bond to tho state, led to tho discovory that tho Bluo Star Lino, or tho tranco-Nord Amorlcalno, advortlsed to ply between Now York City and France, and which has agents In various states selling tickets at tho unusually low rato of $50 for round trips octwecn these points, Is a myth, and that it does not own a single steamer. Scores of Ohio people purchased tickets, but the man who sold thorn was an innocent dupo of tho company, and will refund overy cent paid him for theso tickets. Auditor Fulllngton noticed by an ad vertisement that Professor Claude Mlchelon of Toledo, who has estab lished schools in various cities of tho state, Columbus included, for teach ing tho Ficnch language, was selling tickets for trans-Atlantic trips ovor tho so-called Blue Star Lino. Ho ad' ised him that tho law required him to (lie a $5,000 bond with tho stato as a guarantee of protection to tho pur chasois. Professor Mlchelon wrote Auditor Fulllngton that ho was not In the business professionally, but that ho was simply getting up trips by which his fellow countrymen and others in his schools could go to Paris and back at a low rate. Auditor Fulllngton suggcRtca that he look into the stand ing of tho company and wrllo to the auditor of New York which has a bonding law similar to Ohio's, and see if the company had given tho ne cessary bond there. It turned out that tho company had not done this. Piofessor Mlchelon became suspi cious and he mado a hasty trip to New York to have an understanding. Tho "Bluo Lino" peoplo were conspicuous by their absence, and he got no sat isfactlon. He did find out, however, that the company had none of the pal atial steamers advertised, and, in fact, that if it owned a single boat no ono ever know anything about it. The elaborate circulars issued by the company gave tho sailing date3 of some half dozen or more vessels with high sounding names, and tho first boat was to leave in February. The beauty of tho scheme was that tho tickets could bo used anytlmo within two years and on any boat. Professor Mlchelon concluded tho wholo busi ness was a fraud and he filed informa tion against tho company with United States District Attorney Wlso, in Now York, who is now making an investi gation. Professor Mlchelon is now reimburs ing those to whom ho sold tickots. Auditor of Stato Fulllngton says his course has been honorable all the way through and that ho was drawn into tho schemo without realizing Its real nature. Ho sola 4,000 worth or tickets in Ohio, Columbus peoplo be ing among the purchasers. .

Tho owner of tho dog was not known, but tho shooting was a very humano act in view of its suffering.

DOG MASTER Production Was The Lecture Of Dr. Dixon At High School Auditorium Tuesday Night Is An Orator Of Exceedingly High Order And Handled His Subject With Great Ability Next Entertainment Is The Chicago Glee Club The lecture at tho high school aud itorium Tuesday evening by Frank Dixon was without question a master production. In opening, tho speaker stated that he was tho younger broth er of 2 men who aro nation famous as orators and authors, Dr. A. C. Dixon, a Baptist clergyman of Chicago and Mr. Frank Dixon of New York City, author of Leopard Spots, and that for this roason ho wanted to mako plain that ho is only a humble citizen. How ever, before tho close of the address tho audience was convinced that they woro listening to a scholar nnd orator of great ability. Physically, while ov er six feet tall, bo has had to use crutches Blnco two years of age, but in splto of which his independance and determinaton he has well cared for himself and in this way has prov en all that he said in his lecture rel ative to individuality. The topic discussed was "Tho Man Against the Masses." In opening the speaker explained the difference be tween socialism and anarchy and urg ed that but few people realize tho dif ference. Other than a brief statement setting forth that tho anarchist is a man who defies all law and regula tion of society, and that for this rea son is very dangerous the burden of tho discussion was relative to social ism. ' Ho referred to the following three forms of socialism: 1. The socialist who insists upon referring all matters of private and public Interest to law, urging govern ment ownership and control of all af fairs. He stated that the greatest harm to this form of socialism is that it robs a man of his personality and his individuality and throws the con trol of the business interests into tho bands of a few men who are In turn liable to U'O the samo for private gain. 2. Dr. Dixon referred to the socialist gwho by the m a s si n g of great fortunes comes into control manufacturer of his rigbtto do busi robbing tho Individual merchant and couragement for tho present Ameri Iness indopondcntly. This Is scarcely over thought of as being socialism, but It Is and of tho very worst form. 3. Tho lecturer spoke vigorously against that phase of socialism which claims that tho world owes eery man a living and that if a man chooses not to work ho deserves to bo fed and clothed. The real difficulty here, as in all other forms of socialism, is to reliovo tho individual of personal re sponsibility toward life. Though tho language and oratory wbb of a very high order and Dr. Dix on can truthfully bo called a silver tongued orator, who Is optimistic of life and tho conditions of men even in tho faco of bad conditions nnd dis couraging circumstances. Tho tribute paid tho American workingman, tho fi nanciers and business mnn and tho statesman was splendid and tho listen ers woro left with tho feling of en couragement for tho presentAmerican can citizenship. Tho next and final number on the lecture course will be tho Chicago Glee club, on next Tuesday, April 5.
