AT Dl'RANT, OKLAHOMA
Durant, Okla., Sept 4. Race war
Is imminent here today as the resul:
of an encounter between five whites

Resigned to his fate. Jesse P.
Webb, the Portland trunk murderer,
sits today in his cell calmly await
ing the hour of his execution, which
occurs tomorrow at 12:30 o'clock.
For awhile after his Incarceration
In the state prison there probably
flickered a hope In his heart that
Governor West would heed the ap
peal being made in his behalf, and
commute his sentence. In the last
few days that hope has died out of
his heart, but It has brought no
change In his action or demeanor
he is Just the same to all appearances
as he was before.
Last Appeal Being Made.
The last appeal for the commuta
tion of Webb's sentence will be made
today, as soon as a delegation can
locate Governor West. The governor
has been absent from the city for
several days, and a membeT of the
delegation telephoned today to learn
of his whereabouts, so that the dele
gation might present to him what
ever they possessed with relation to
the case. This appeal will be based
upon letters received from prominent
men in Omaha, testifying to lie pre
vious good character of Webb, and
also a letter from the governor of
Nebraska.
Several weeks ago the governor an
nounced that he had found no cir
cumstances ln the case which would
justify him interfering with the ex
ecution. He stated, however, that
he reserved the right to change his
mind should they arise, and this op
erated as a ray of hope to Webb's
friends. Those near to the governor,
however, say that his mind is made
up, and that the appeal to be made
today will prove futile.

When arrested he had 11 cents
and a .44-caibre revolver.

The .baron had no place to

flRIGATION
COMPANY
WANTS TIME
Wrhen the State Desert Land Board
meets Wednesday it will consider the
proposition to be submitted to it by
the Portland Irirgatlon company for
the reclamation of certain arid lands
in Eastern Oregon.
The company entered Into a con
tract for the reclamation of the land
about 10 years ago. But little had
been done along the line, nnd the
board several months ago ordered it
canceled. Since then au appeal for
the revokement of this order has
been made, and tbe companys repre
sentative will appear before tho board
Wednesday and show what the com
pany has done, and what It proposes
to do In the future, and ask for an
other trial.
A representative of the Powder
Valley Irrigation company will also
appear before the board, and submit
matters pertaining to the project op
erated by It.
It may be possible that some ac
tion may be taken by the board with
relation to the Deschutes Land com
pany, from which the board is seek
ing to extract information necessary
for the protection of the settlers.
The members, however, when ques
tioned with regard to it, would neith

would be taken at the meeting to com
pel the company by the institution of
suit to furnish the information.

the Second in 5 Minutes and 32 Seconds Every Seat Was'
Sold and Fully 35,000 Witnessed the Contest All Bets
Were Declared Off Before the Match Both Men Were Very
Rough, But Hack Quit, Fearing His Leg Would Be Broken,
and Rolled Over in the Second.
UNITED PRESS LEASED WIH.
Chicago, Sept. 4. Out-gamekl and
out-strengthed and out-fought, Geo.
Hackenschmtdt, the "Russian Lion,"
today forever laid down his hope of
tearing the world's championship uf
the wrestling game from Frank Gotcb.
of Iowa.
Gotoh, after a ripping, tearing ses
sion, took the first fall from the big
foreigner In 14 minutes, 18 1-5 sec
onds, with a reverse body hold and a
wrist lock. He secured the second
fall in 6 minutes, 32 1-2 seconds,
with the famous toe hold, which no
man on whom It was fastened has
ever been able to break.
Hack, apparently, was untrained
for the match. He was hog fat, and
was clearly beaten before he entered
the ring. Gotch was trained to the
minute, and beat the Russian at ev
ery turn and twist of the game.
Jack Curley, manager .of Hacken
se.hmidt, said after the match that
Ilnck was badly Injured In the second
fall, nnd that his leg had received
a serious Injury, and that the llga.
ments torn from their place in
Gotch's grip had caused the Russian
to quit cold.
The final fall enme so quickly that
the crowd failed to realize that the
match was endel. Like a flash
Gotch caught the Russian's leg, spun
him and then dropped him ou his
stomach. Gotch's head was at
Hacks feet, and his legs wrapped
about Hack's body.
Gotch worried the Russian for a
few minutes, then threw both hands
around Hacks' foot. A quick twist,
and a look of pnln came over Hack's
face. He sought to tear his leg from
Gotch's grasp. Gotch twisted it
again, Hack gave up, and In a second
his shouldqrs were pinned flat to the
mat.
The match was almost a farce.
Zybszszco Immediately challenged
Gotch.
"It was as, I expected," said Mrs.
Gotch. "I knew no one In the world
could throw my husband. I believe
that the men proved that scientific)
wrestling is a beautiful spectacle."
It was Impossible to obtain nn In
terview from either wrestler after the
match. Intimations are made that
the match was fixed, while others be
lieve that all was square and above
board. Experts declare that If the
bout had been crooked, there would
have been more fancy work oa the
mat. As it was not, both men got
down to business the moment they
entered the rg. Gotch took no
chftnees by prolonging tho struggle.
Chicago, Sept. 3. Frank Gotch, the
Iowa farmer, and George Hacken
schmldt, the cultivated Russian stu
dent, tomorrow will determine who
Is the mightiest wrestler In the world
At 3 o'clock In tho American League
baseball park here these two prem
ier grapplers will meet to settle the
supremacy.
Gotch won their former match In
Chicago, 111., April 3, 1908, but ha
did not pin the shoulders of the Rus
sian "lion" to the mat. For that
reason he has never received univer
sal credit for his victory.
Tomorrow, however, both contes
tants declare, the match will not end
until one man has obtained two falls.
It may be necessary to finish the
contest under the glare of the giant
arc lights that stud the roof of the
grandstand.
sportsmen say that the element that
hours awny, followers of the sport
are coming In from all parts of the
country. All downtown hotels are
crowded. Seat sales up to tonight
approximated $70,000 and may reach
$100,000.
Whatever they are, It Is certain
that they will bo lurger than any
that have ever before ever before
taken place for any wrestling con
test. Probably 25,000 persons will
see the match.
(iotch Now 2-to-l Favorite.
Although the turnstiles at the park
will not begin to revolve until 11
o'clock tomorrow, ardent devotees of
the sport tonight bad begun to gath
er outside the grounds to' seek van
tage points for an enrly entrance to
the field. Many were provided with
tickets, but they did not desire to be
caught In the crush a few hours be
fore tho contestants enter the arena.
Stories of Gotch's wonderful con
dition, circulated since he arrived
here Friday, have forced tho betting
odds on hliu up to 2 to 1. While
training ln Humboldt, Iowa, he was
only a 6 to 5 favorite.
Very little betting Is done how
ever. Explaining this, vetoran
sportsmen say that the eleniet that
linbitimlly plunged on big contests of
all kinds, lias not forgot the prize
light In Reno, July 4, 1910. The so
called "tulent" plunged and lost on
that occasion, and although this
match In no way resembles that one,
the big bettors are still timid.
Gotch partisans maintain that he
will win because he Is the cleverer
catch-aB-cateh-can wrestler, a quick
er thinker and perhaps as strong as
his opponent. They insist that he
displayed bis all-around superiority
ln their last match and that In the
last three years he has Improved
greatly.
Chicago, Sept. 4. Tho weather for
the great match Is Ideal. The sky Is
cloudless and the air balmy ofc In
May. At noon Jack Curloy, manager
for Hackenschmtdt, announced that
every seat ln the grandstand had
been sold, and It was estimated that
35,000 bad paid admission. There
