Speculation was rife this morning among admirers of Fritz Hanson as to how he managed to throw Burt Hudson in a minute's time, and one advocate of the mat game advanced the theory that the Swede brought the redoubtable Burt into the arena on his shoulder and laid the Colum bia mat artist peacefully to rest on the padded canvas. At any rate, .654 j Hanson took Hudson's measure with 636 i apparent ease, winning the initial fall .516! in 26 minutes and the second or de .484 I ciding one in one minute.

After a trial lasting for more than a week, the jury in Federal court this morning decided the case i of the Brunswick ,L4nd and Lumber Com pany versus D. L. Gore, in favor of the defendant. The plaintiffs were seeking to eject the defendant from a tract of 7,500 acres, the property being a part of David Allison tract of 41,600 acres, lying about four, miles north of Southport, in Brunswick county. The case was appealed and it will be heard in the Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., at a time to be sot. This morning, following the argu ments of the attorneys, the jury was presented with the two main issues, which were: First, Did the plaintiff successfully prove title to the original grant and were (hey able to locate the boundary? Second,' Whether Mr. Gore had been able to prove claim to the title .and to prove seven years of consecutive working of the land, which, according to the ruling of Judge Connor, under the statute of ejectment, entitles the possessor to" outright possession. The answers of the jury were yes In both. The attorneys in the case were: For the plaintiff, J. O. Carr, Esq., C. Ed. Taylor, Southport; Robert Ruark, Esq.; and for the defendant, E. K.
