BOTH RODE ON SAME TRAIN.
"Terrible Turk" and French Wrestler
Exchange Glares at Depot.
Yusiff Mahmout, the "Terrible Turk," and Rouel de Rouen, the champion wrestler of France, who were pitted against each other in Convention hall Tuesday night, were in the Union depot yesterday morning almost an hour waiting for the same Santa Fe train to Chicago. The wrestlers and their managers stood several feet apart, but not a word was spoken between them.
The powerful athletes looked at each other as though there might be something doing if either made the first move. It was soon noised about in the depot who the men were, and a large crowd surrounded them with the usual evidences of curiosity.
"We were figuring how many men it would take to pull those two wrestlers apart if there had been any mixup here at the depot," one of the ushers said yesterday. "We could see by the way the wrestlers looked at each other there was not the very best of friendly feeling existing between them. However, they took the same sleeping car to Chicago, and before they reach that city they may become friends, if one does not take a toe hold while the other is sleeping."
