DEATH BY DROWNING Joe MrGuire Drowns in Be- midji Lake This Morning While Boat Riding. DROWNS WITHIN HUNDRED FEET OF LOG BOOM. Companion,Wm. Chase, Sees Him Meet Death But Could Offer No Assistance. While boat riding this morning Joseph McGuire, employed at James Thurston’s saloon as bar- tender, met death by drowning in Bemidji lake this morning at 10 o’clock. At about 8:30 this morning the two men, McGuire and Chase, set out from the Third street dock with the intention of taking a boat ride around the lake. They secured the boat at the City boat house and started out and had reached a point directly out from the Crookston mill, when Mec- Guire, who was in the stern‘of the boat, stond up and tripped, falling over the edge of the boat and precipitating himself and companion into the water. Mc- Guire held to the boat and Chase started to swim for a boom of logs about one hundred feet dis- tant. He reached the boom and called for help, at the same time telling McGuire to hold on to the boat. MecGuire could not retain his hold upon the boat, however, and sank in a few minutes within sight of his companion, who was powerless to offer any assistance to the drowning man. Immediately after the drown- ing men at the mill were told of the accident and police were notified by telephone. Boats were sent out and have been en- gaged during the day in drag- ging the lake for the body. which has not been recovered. McGuire was twenty-six years of age and has been in Bemidji for two years, during which time he has been engaged at Mr. Thurston’s saloon as bartender. He has many acquaintances in the city and made a number of friends while here, He has rela- tives at Mason City, Iowa, who have been notified of his death and who will arrive to take charge of the body.

REMARKABLE EXHIBITION OF BASE BALL GIVEN. Bemidji Takes Twelve Inning Game From Melrose at Score of One to Nothing. The two excursions given by the Great Northern railroad ar- rived in the city-about noon- and brought over two thousand people to spend the day in Bemidji. Al- though the day was not as good as it might of been, the crowd was nearly as large as had been -anticipated. The principal en- tertainments. provided for the visitors were the base ball game between Bemidji and Melrose and the log rolling contests and exhibition. As soon as the people had taken dinner the various omni- buses started hauling them out to the ball grounds, but many peoyle 1emained away on account of the rain, which just before the game threatened to destroy all chances of having a game. How- ever, the weather cleared, and the game was called at 3:00 o’clock. Then commenced really one of the most remarkable exhibitions of ball playing that has occurred anywhere in the state during the present season. Not a score was made up to the last half of the twelfth inning, and very few times did either of the teams have men on bases. Witt and Finn, the local battery, did excel- lent work, Witt striking out thirteen men and allowing only six hits. Aronsen, the Melrose twirler, also did good work and struck out nine men and allowed himself to be touched up for only seven hits. The crowd was very enthusias- tic, and either team had a large number of rooters. Very little money was bet on the game, however, as the teams were so evenly matched that one could not guess as to the ultimate re- sult of the game. The score: o MELROSE.

Declares That the Location of the City is an Ideal One in Every Respect. Hundreds of visitors enjoy the natural beauties of Bemidji each year and go home convinced that no summer resort in northern Minnesota can equal that which nature has made at this great widening of the Fathers of Wa- ters, The following communi- cation from a prominent Iowa gentleman who has been spend- ing some time in this vicinity is but one example of what people are saying of Bemidji and Bel- trami county, their rapid growth and their certain future. Eprror P1o R : There are so many beauty spots, fishing nooks, ete, sur- rounding beautiful Lake Bemidji, that the visitor or sojourner frem outside can’t have any lack of enjoyment. He alsoadmireshow thisbrautifulcity tilled withaclass of people that cannot be beaten | in a few years emerges out of a wilderness like a butterfly out of its chrysalis adorn. Beautiful public buildings, its fine streets and every things moves steadily onward and onward. This shows the public spiritness of your people. Older places lag behind, you push ahead. The other day however, a genuine surprise awaited me an- other splendid public building, I had never set my eyes upon, and what was it? The Beltrami County Poor Farm for the indi- gent, sick, and crippled, who ap- ply for prblic aid in theic emer- gencies. It is certainly a splendid and finely constructed piece of archi- tecture two stories and fine broad verandas at each story. It is large enough to be a Metropol- itan hobel Hl‘fh splendid rooms, roomy, stutight hallways, and in fact every modern convenience your heart may desire. Three great water tanks, one in each story, to preclude any danger of fire and fornishes water any- where. This building set in the midst of a beautiful lawn of lowers and trees scattered over it, will cer- tainly delight the eyes of any lover of nature. The farm that surrounds all this is already well stocked with ‘cattle that furn- ishes sweet milk and butter, pigs ete. The stable with fine horses is also there. Garden products of all kinds and hundreds of bushels of potatoes ripening for fall, such is the scene you enjoy. And all developed out of a wild- erness by energy and steadiness of a very efficient Board of County Commissioners, who seem to de- vote their interest to the benefit of their people. The institution itself is under the supervision of Superintend- ent Frank Sprague, one of the most efficient gentlemen I have for enterprise, energy and pusi;! seen in his or any similar posi- tion, His wife certainly lacks no- thing of his carefulnessin her part of the house. Veryaccoma- d‘mng, and liked by all. Dr. Blakslee is in charge of the medical department and the results of his labors proves his efficiency. Go and see this fine addition to the beauty of the young pioneer county named Beltrami. H. S. STANGER. | SETS HIM RIGHT Attorney D. H.
