Thieves Escape
With Truck Tires
Valued At $2000

Unusual loot for thieves over the
weekend was $2000 worth of heavy
truck tires stolen from the premises
of C & S Tire Service Ltd. The rob-
bery occurred in the early hours of
Monday morning.

The 11 tires were 8:25 x 20 and
9:00 x 20 sizes in 12 ply, and will fit
trucks from three to five ton in
weight.

According to'manager Blmer Cars-

Wrestling Card

Draws Record

Crowd At Second Night

What was probably the biggest crowd ever to witness a
wrestling card here, jammed the Elks Hall last night to watch
the second night of entertainment in the squared circle as the
Kohnke Brothers and visitors demonstrated many of the finer

and rougher points of the ancient art of grunt and groan.

The rougher points were contrib-
uted by the ‘visitors, Buddy Knox
and Bud Rattel, who fairly evenly
divided their time in the ring be-
twing tryin to lay their opponent low
gy methods not approved by the rule
book; arguing with referee Harold
McKay; arguing with the spectators,
and also in providing more than a
modicum of smart wrestling.

Of course, dear to the hearts of
the home town fans, are the Kohn-
ke's, and Bil and Felix didn’t dis-
appoint the paying customers.

Bill took on Rattel in the evening
epener in a 20-minute or one fall
match, that almost went the limit.
Rattel finally won the fall at the 17-
minute mark. Felix and Knox went
the limit in their match with the
gong going while Felix had his op-
ponent tied up with a head scissors.

Wind-up of the evening was the
popular tag team match that several
dimes developed into a near riot with
all four in the ring. The Rattel-Knoa
combination won the first fall with
Knox pinning Felix down wil a
Boston crab. The match was evened
up when Rettel fell victim to a relay
attack by the Kohnke’s who concen-
trated on working over his legs, with
the final fall going to Bill. The Match
wound up in a matter of a couple of
mintues when the fighters got under-
way again. This time it was Knox
who was bounced from one end of

ing the villain with his 223 pounds.

in their hour-long match. The first
fall went to Rattel, and as time wore
‘on, it looked as though the-match
would wind up that way, that is un-
til Mrs. Kohnke took a hand. Slightly
wrath over the way Rattel was dem-
onstrating his version of the rules,
Maisie at one point came up to the
ring swinging a high heeled shoe in
Rattel’s general direction. The ap-
pearance of this type of support
seemed to spur Felix on, and he dis-
posed of Rattel after softening him
up with a couple of aerial spins. The
struggle for the final fall just got |
underway when the gong went.

It is the third time in a year that
thiéves have been active around the
tire shop, located at the corner of
Railway Avenue and Yorston. On

another time someone had evidently
been frightened off just as they were
working on the door.

JUDGE COMMENTS
ON 1954 SHOW

Commercial classes at this year’s
show and sale compare well with
those of the 1953 show, according
to veteran judge Charles Yule, who
handled the judging for the second
year in a row.

Speaking of the bulls entered, Mr.
Yule said it was his opinion that the
animals were more uniform and had
more general quality than entries in
last year’s show This, he said, was
particularly true of the Herefords.
r. Yule had a suggestion to offer
with a view to creating more public
interest in the show. This interest
would be stimulated in the bull show,
he thought, by having the animals
lined up in classes and graded and
judged at one time. stronger inter-|
est in junior calf work would also
result in more colour to the show,
Mr. Yule said,

Peace Looking For
Market For Hay,
Publisher States

In town yesterday, bearing her
own personal solution to the Cariboo
hay shortage problem, came Margar-
et L. Murray, indefatigable, editor
of the Alsaska Highway News up at
Fort St. John.

“If the Cariboo cattlemen are
short of feed, and want to come to
the Peace River and cut it, they can
have 5000 ton in a week,” Mrs. Mur-
Tay states,

“IT am authorized by Bill Smirl of
North Pine to tell the Cariboo stock-
men who may be short, to offer 450
acres of lush alfalia, sweet clover
and alsike for $10 an acre, and Bill
agrees to supply baler and mow
Jto cut it. Stan Weston offers
| $0 acres of lush nurse crop at Bear
| Plat, who has mowers but no baler,
|who will give the crop for anyone
who will take it. Stan added he
could oifer $00 tons of hard feed,
which could be baled from his com-
bined seed crop.” Margaret said these
| were just two farmers, the only ones
| she could contact immediately be-
for leaving on Wednesday.
