Big Sporting
Event on 4th
A feature of the Fourth of
July celebration planned for An
chorage will be a wrestling con
test between Hjlmar Zarrala and
George Osmand. Zarrala agrees
to throw Osmand three times
within 45 minutes. Strangle
holds will be barred. It will be
catch-as-catch can. Charies Glea
son, a former welter weight of
national reputation, will referee
the contest.
Zarrala comes here as the
champion Finn-Canadian light
heavy weight. He has wrestled
in 127 matches,meeting such men
as Young Olson, Chas. Hecken
schmidt, Karl Beck, Young Zy
bisco, Dr. Roller and others of
equal fame on the mat. He has
lost six times in his wrestling ca
reer, according to the newspaper
report of his achievements. In
wrestling trim he weighs 176
pounds. He is but a recent ar
rival in Anchorage.
His opponent, George Osmond,
is an amateur wrestler with con
siderable experience on the mat.
The event promises to be about
the biggest thing in the sporting
line ever pulled off in this part of
Alaska.
As a preliminary to the chief
event, there will be two or three
boxing contests between clever
young fellows.
Full particulars will appear in
these columns next week, as the
plans of the affair are not yet
completed.
Campbell McFeely, formerly
employed in a fiduciary capacity
with the Grand Trunk railway
system, and who takes much in
terest in sports, is staging the
event, which insures that the
sport will be clean and whole
some and such as will be enjoyed
by people with red blood in their
veins.
The B. B., constructed at An
chorage, was launched the early
part of the week and Wednesday
set out on a trip to Indian river.
The craft is a speedy one, espec
ially adapted to river navigation.
Albert Pearce
Loses His Life
Albert Pearce, an employe of
the government, was drowned at
Eagle river Sunday last. Pearce
departed from here Saturday last
enroute to Eagle river, to accept
employment on a railway job
there. He was last seen aboard
a scow that had been used in con
veying supplies for the work
there. A bundle containing a
roll of blankets and clothing, be
longing to Pearce, and also his
coat, were found on the scow.
The pike pole was missing. It is
supposed that Pearce,in navigat
ing the scow with the pike pole
in the river, lost his balance and
fell overboard. His remains have
not been found, although search
has been instituted.
Pearce was well known in Sew
ard, Cordova and Katalla, where
he formerly resided. He came
here a month ago to seek employ
ment with the government. He
was generally called “Slivers’’by
his intimates. He leaves a wife
and daughter, who are in Seattle,
to mourn his loss.

Parties are here with a view of
establishing a bank in Anchor

plication has already been sent
to the secretary of the territory,

cial backing to install a first-class
fiduciary concern.
The launch Edith G., Captain
Green, after a tempestuous trip
of two months’ duration from
Juneau to this port, arrived Mon
day. The little craft was report
ed lost while enroute. At Sew
ard, the forestry service char
tered the launch and sent four
men here. In passing Kenai,the
