fighting apparatus ready for use in

Martin and Jepson are in readiness
for the wrestling match tomorrow
afternoon at Robarts Hall and the
fans are anxiously awaiting the out
come. Many of them think that Jep
son is the best man and on the other
hand many think that Andy has it on
Jepson. Martin won over Jepson in
the last match and says he will repeat
tomorrow. If the last match was on
the square, there is no apparent reas
on why Martin should not win to
morrow’s match; otherwise it will
smell to heaven and the wrestling
game in Anchorage will be a thing of
the past. Clean sports and squa^p
matches draw well in this city, and for
the sake of the two wrestlers and the
future sport of the game in Anchorage
it is the prayer of the lovers of dean
and wholesome athletics that nothing
will be divulged in tomorrow’s match
that will cause even a breath of suspic
ion to be cast on tomorrow’s match or
either Martin or Jepson. Two prelim
inaries have been arranged to preceed
the main event; one between Kincaird
and Elms promises to be a good ex
hibition.Doors open at 2:30 o’clock to
morrow afternoon at Robarts Hall.
ELKS BOWLERS GO
DOWN TO DEFEAT
The reorganized Elks bowling team
went down to defeat last night before
the better bowling of the Moose five.
The Moose won by the close margin
of 49 pins after an intensely exciting
contest in which the supporters of
both sides took part and loudly ex
pressed their favoritism. Billiards,
pool and other kinds of sports were
practically suspended in Robarts last
night during the contest and it was
the bitterest and most enthusiastic
match of the tournament. Judge
Ganty is the newly elected captain
of the Elks team and bowled in fine
form. Hardy, of the Moose, made the
great individual score of 234, and En
gle, of the Elks, almost set a record
for average, making the high average
of 192. The members of the Moose
team bowled consistently and there
was very little difference in their av
erage. The Elks still occupy the cellar
position but are determined to make
a better showing in the future.

around a real newspaper office, but is

should become imbued with the hurry

Tuesday afternoon a likely looking
bag was lef,t behind by some satiated
customer. The manager of The Times
put the bag on the “lost and found”
shelf to await developments.
Wednesday past and no one called;
Thursday ditto. Friday is clean-up
day the world over; so it is with The
Times.
At such times the entire force as

by ungovernable curiosity or it may
be that she was simply detecting and
acted on information received that day
from Washington to -the effect that
“Kentucky doughnut recipe stolen.
Thief traced to Seward and thought
to be heading for Anchorage where he
or she has accomplices.”
• In any event the likely looking bag
was opened in the presence of witnes
ses and found to contain 24 sugar
coated, delicately - browned, wholly
doughnuts that certainly looked appe
tizing and as though they might have
been made from the famous Kentucky
recipe. . If this was the f&ct it would
undoubtedly lead to the arrest of the
thief. There was only one way to tell.
The Times force is made up of con
noisseurs who are past masters and
authority on several things, viz: Poker
hands, Scotch, tobaccos and even rhet
oric, but the office boasts of only one
doughnut judge. The judge judged 12,
or one-half, before passing her verdict
of “Nit Kentucky.” There evidently
was a surprising similarity for again
the manager had to put them away
for safe-keeping and out of tempta
tion. To further guard against sick
ness from over-eating and also to stop
liability or damage suits The Times
uses its own columns. Hence this clas-.
sided advertisement: 1
“Found—One sack that originally
contained 24 delicious doughnuts. No
charge for this ad and no suspicion of
recipe theft attached. Owner please
hurry.”
Later—J. J. Meyers called just be
fore going to press and identified the
doughnuts and the purchaser was
traced to a well known and popular
citizen of Anchorage who has asked
that his name be omitted as it might
conflict with the excuse he made Mrs.
All’s well that endfflMpll says the
poet. The owner has been found; the
manager of The Times is relieved of
great suspense and temptation remov
ed from the connojsaeuress.
