WALTER MILUR TO
WRESTLE 1 HAND
ASHLAND IN JULY
ASHLAND, June 16. A leading ath
letic event will bo added to the Fourth
of July celebration schedule, referring
to a wrestling mutch between Ralph
Hand, of Gold Hill, well known in local
Bporting circles, and Walt Miller, of
Log Angeles, professional champion in
middleweight records. Some folks
who regard a boxing bout as i slug
ging contest not far removed from the
prize ring, have uo compunctions in
witnessing a skillful wrestling match,
n.icnce none need fear that this athletic
test will be banned from the regular
program. The lid here on the national
holiday will be lifted insofar as all gen
uine tests of either skill or strength
are concerned, provided they are con
ducted within due bounds as far as
legislative statutes are concerned.

ments. Two large legcndnry signs greet

proved this season, so that the weary

needed bath. Located direct on the

portions and hence be liberally patron
ized. The Helton property on Pioneer ave

' been showered upon him as the stan
dard bearer of Hillah Temple's patrol
at San Francisco. However, after the

visit a month or so with relatives re
siding in the vicinity of that city, and

five dollars and costs.
