A FAST MATCH.
Car! It used Wins From Dyreborg in
Two Straight Fulls.
The most spirited wrestling match
ever pulled off in Roseburg attract
ed an enthusiastic crowd at Sykes
rink last evening, when Carl Husch,
alleged wrestling champion of Ger
many and America, succeeded in
throwing V. L. Dyreborg. wrestling
instructor or the Sacramento Athlet
ic club, two straight falls.
The men are exceedingly well
matched and each has his nd van
tages. It is generally conceded that
Dyreborg is the fastest on his feet,
while Busch displays a superiority in
strength. From .the minute time
was called the men "mixed" almost
continually, and upon several occa
sions the participants only escaped
a fall through cleverness displayed
in breaking . holds. For an hour
and three minutes the men battled
for pupremacy, when Husrh suc
ceetled in securing a "half Nelson"
with the result that Dyreborg land
ed with shoulders square on the
mat. All during the first bout wild
consternation prevailed, and not un
til the men retired to their corners
d" for the start.
After five minutes' rest, the men
again np pen red on the mat, and as
dining the previous bout they "mix
ed" from the start.
After 24 minutes Busrh again
succeeded In securing his favorite
hold, and Dyrehorg Ml to the mat.
Thinking that Busch had won the
match, the crowd started to leave
the hall, when Referee Harmon an
nounced that the men were off the
mat. consequently the fall was de
clared off. Being fair In their tac
tics the men refrained from argu
ment and accepted the decision as
final. The next bout was somewhat!
brief, Busrh landing his opponent j
in 3 minutes and S't seconds. !
The match was by far tho most
Interesting ever pulled off in this j
section of the state, and that the
"fans" were entirely satisfied could j
be attested In the nnnnMous favor-j
able expressions at the conclusion.
The match was preceded by a fouri
round boxing cont"st between a j
couple of local "bloods", and was j
much enjoyed. j

author contend! that it provided
nothing more than a businesslike

Intended to protect the state from

SALEM, Or., Feb. 15. Senator
Locke's bill enlarging the powers
of the state medical board was kill
ed by Indefinite postponement in
the house this afternoon by a vote
of 26 to 14.
The bill prohibited the use of the
term "doctor" by persons not regu

school. It was fought bitterly by
Christian Scientists, naturopaths,
chiropractors and other practioners
not graduates of an established med

measure in reality created a medical

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 16. It
is practically certain that Russia will
be involved in war with China very
soon, and this fact was evidenced
here today in the publication of a
statement that the Russian govern
ment is planning to occupy the re
gion in Chiuese-Turkistan. A con
ference was held at the war minis
tery today, and it is believed that
plans for an invasion were discuss
ed. Russia claims to bo greatly
agrieved over China's alleged viola
tion of the treaty of 1881, where
by Russia evacuated 111 in return
for commercial concessions which
the Czar's government now asserts
have been curtailed. Russia Intends
to first seize the town of Kuldja,
which will be equivalent to a de
claration of war. Following that
move actual hostilities will be start
ed, provided that China does not
yield to the demands made, which
It is believed that she will do.
