ATHLETIC EVENTS
Which May Lead to the Formation
or a
Heppner Athletic tllrih.
New liiBpIratlon has developed with the
young men ot the town, and athletic sports are
uppermost In their minds Saturday night the
wrestling contest between John Kline, the
middle-weight champion of Montana, and
Arthur Clarke, the jeweler, and holder of many
championship medals as an all-round athlete,
proved the greatest event of its kind ever wit
nessed in this section of the country, and it Is
safe to predict that Heppner will never again
bring together two such scitntllla and ev.nl.'
matched wrestlers. They were certainly de
serving of a crowded house. In height and
weight Kllno was considerably tho larger mar,
but what Clarke lacked In size and strength, he
overcame In action and science, and scored (he
first fall In 2.1 minutes with a quarter Nelson
and cratch hold, throwing his man In clean
style. Fifteen minutes wero allowed for a rest,
after which both men went to work with
e lergy. Contact with a partition barely saved
Kline from a second fall which stirred his
"metal" and. succeeding In getting a double
Nelson and leg lock, through his weight and
herculean strength, succeeded In crushing
Clarke to tbe mat, securing a decision, At the
conclusion of the time limit of one hour and
thirty minutes neither had secured the victor
ious fall, wtiich ended the match a draw. Dur
ing the entire contest the enthusiasm of the
audience knew no bounds, the chief Interest
centering on Clarke as a local man and the
smaller of the two. Mr, Kline was exceedingly
gentlemanly and fair In his work, and nothing
marred the event. No money was wagered and
no exception can be taken to this class of sport.
The receipts Just netted the expenses and no
complaints came from the contestants. Should
they repeat the match they could depend on a
crowded house.
Mr. Clarke's motivo In entering these con
tost Is to develop Interest In tho establishment
ot the long-talked-of athletic club, which would
contribute so much to the social enjoyments
and wield agood Influence with the young men.
Tiro football maleh, billed for Saturday, be
tween the visiting Pendleton team and the
Heppner toys should have the support of every
person in Heppner, as it is the beginning of a
social relationship between the best element of
young men in Eastern Oregon, and will be of
much benefit to them as well as the business
Interests of each section. The business men
should encoirrage the boys by buying tickets
for distribution among their customers. People
from outside of town should be encouraged to
attend these sports, thereby developing a new
Interest in our town. The game is called for
3 o'clock, and will draw a big crowd.
"Pap" McAllster, the returned volunteer, ot
Lexington, will be tho center Msh. In which
position he made the Agricultural college team
famous throughout the Northwest. His playing
will be Illustrative of the world-renowned
rushes made by the American boys against the
Filipinos. We trust he will not forget himself
and mistake an opponent of tbe brunette type
for one of the little brown Imps he was after
for two years.
Story of m Slav.
To be bonod hand end foot is for yeare
by tbe chains of disease is the worst form
ot slavery. George V. Williami, of Mao.
Chester, Mioh .tells ho such a slave was
made free. lie says: "My wife bsi been
so h- Ipless for five years that she conid
not torn over in bed aione. After using
two buttles of Electric Bitters, ebe is
wonderfully improved and able to do ber
oho work." This supreme remedy for
female diseases quickly cores nervous
ui'is, elHeplessneS)1, meliiuoboly, head
ache, baokaohe, fainting sod dizzy spells.

MATLOCK ARRIVES FROM DAWSON.
Walken .'lot Over Ice and Snow for a instance
of UOO Miles.
Ex-Senator W. F. Matlock arrived
home from Dawson City, Yukon terri
tory, this morning. Ho oame out from
the great gold oamp of the fur north In
oompany with W. M. Bengle, wbo ar
rived home Wednesday. Mr, Mutlook
and Mr. Beagle left Dawson on Decem
ber lOtb, and walked 600 miles to Skag
way. Their trip was muob more hazard
ous and fatigueiog than if it bad been
andeitaken later, when tbe river was
olosed in all places, and the trails broken.
Breaking trails in an Arotio region afoot
in the bitter oold of winter is a task by
uo means pleasant, but tbe two Pendle
ton men possessed the essential nerve to
attempt it, and, ouoe started, bad cour
age and endurance to reach their desti
nation. When they left Dawson, the ice bad
not formed permanently in all places,
bat it was neoessary to walk sometimes
on the ioe, sometimes on the snow,
sometimes on the shore. Although no
aooideuts occurred beyond a few fretz
ings of noses, ears and other members,
several times they assisted at the reeoue
of men who bad falleu into Ibe Yukon
with the temperature on a very low level.
Dawson was a town ot something less
than 15,000 when he left, laid Mr.
Matlock.
In Dawson, Mr. Matlock saw Mr, and
Mrs. Louis F. Cook, and Mr. Cook as
sured bim be would coma out next fall
witb $20,000 in gold dust. He bits a half
interest in a olalm, which promises to
turn out finely at tbe sluoing next
spriog.
Mr. Matlock will remain here a few
dayi, and then returu with Mr. Beagle,
going in prepared to sled to Dawson the
supplies they bad frozen np on tlie Yu
