o — | | 7 1 i VRN, R —— GAMES ARE EXCELLENT Bemidji and Big Duluth Teams Play Twe Games of Ball and Break Even. PITCHERS ON BOTH SIDES GIVEN GOOD SUPPORT. Emerson Lets Down Visitors With But Three Hits, While Witt Gives Them Five. The base ball fans of Bemidji were given a rare treat when they witnessed Bemidji and the Big Duluths break even in two games of base ball. Sunday’s game went to the locals through the excellent pitching of Emer- son backed up by the wonderful support at critical times. Bungo at third played the best game that has been seen on the local diamond this season, He covered oceams of ground and some of his stops and throws bordered on the sensational, al- though one of his throws might have gotten by any one, but old reliable Reddy Reddel; but high or low, the all look alike to Red. Bemidji made the first score on Carl’s single which he turned into a three base hit while Du- luth’s infield played ‘ante over.” Stillman’s long fly to * center scored him. Two two-baggers combined with a couple of bad errors allowed Duluth to gain a couple of runs in the seventh. Things looked bad until the ninth when Bungo was passed, Witt got hit, Roy lined out a single scoring Bungo, and Witt scored immediately afterwards on Carl’s long fly to right and it was all over but the shouting. Minece’s pitching was fully as good as Emerson’s letting the locals down with three hits and striking out twelve men. His support was also very good. Me- Dougald robbed Roy in the fourth of a three base hit by a long running catch. Monday’s game was another pitcher’s bathle with Witt having slightly the best of it holding them down to six hits and striking out thirteen men in, two innings fanning three in a row. His su}g}mf was rather yellow at times, Roy in center field, who was pla.ymo with a sore finger, dropped one fly and Finn in the left field let one fall to the ground that was right in his hands, C. Roy let a ball go right through with a man on third who im- mediatly scored. The feature of the game aside from the fine pitching on both sides was the batting of Carl and Summers, Why balance on the verge of consumption when Mark’s Lung Balsam will cure, For Sherlff L hereby announc clection to e 1904, If elected duties of the office in and courteous manner. THOS. BAILE SHROUDED IN STORY OF MYSTERY| Murderers of N. 0. Dahl and Daughter Aagot Are Still At Large. NOT A SCRAP OF NEW EVIDENCE HAS BEEN ADDUCED.

There had been some feeling between the two for seyeral mont-hs prior to the but noaltercation of any kind. Gardner had made threats nothing can be brought out that| with respect to Garrison, and would duc('tly implicate anyone|Gardner’s in the crime. Fournier, the sus- pect now being held at thc county jail, refuses to discuss the crime even with the author ities, and he cannot be brought to admit that hehad ahand in the affair or knows anything about it. in the face of the circumstantial | evidence which has been devel- oped against him in the shape of a |)IQCL‘ of lace, buttons, etc., he| remains sullen but awaits his friends claim that Garrison had also talked rashly with regard to assaulting Gard- ner. The killing occurred on the 18th of July,and the story as gleaned from the record taken Evenldn the preliminary examination of Gardner, is about as follows: It appears that Gardner re- turned from Hibbing, a distance of some fifty miles away, and trial with tLe belief that he will! 1 crime, and much sympathy is ex- be fully acquitted. !

Every possible chance of fer- reting out the mystery has been employed by Sheriff Bailey, County Attorney Loud and their assistants, and the hunt for evi- dence that would lead to a con- viction of the guilty parties has been kept up incessantly since the disappearance of the Dahls liminary examination he would last April, but no substantial evi- without a doubt go scot free jdence has been produced, and Tt 1s also stated upon the \my beyond the slight circumstantial best of auditority that has ms not a He is one of the men whom the | authorities think can shed a light upon the mystery if his ar- rest is accomplished, but at pres- ent the indications are that it will | l(‘(|ull(’ acon time to do th It is not given out by the derable length of county attorney as to what action | he will take at Fournier’s hear- ing if additional evidence is not secured before the date set, but there 1s little doubt that he will move for an acquittal of the pris- oner, as the law provides that a man can be tried only once upon the same offense and the only charge thai could be brought against Fournier would be mur- .| der in the first degree.

He did not see Gard- ner until the latter was within some thirty-fiye feet of him. As soon as Garrison observed Gard- ner he straightened up and stepped back; ‘there was a pause of a second, and then, according to Gardner’s own story, Garrison jumped forward and towards his gun, which Gardner claims was standing against his shanty. The gun was a Winchester Rifle, and was at all times nearer Gardner than the man he shot and killed. As Garrison jumped forward, Gardner shot, and then shota second time, and then shota third, only one shot taking effect. The wound is supposed to have been occasioned by the second shot. Gardner admitted that he tired at Garrison after the latter had turned and was darting towards a fence some twenty feet to the left of where Garrison was standing, When Gardner came up to (,.'un\on and just be fore he fired, he exolanned “Who told you tocut that h'w, Bill? “G— d—mn you?” Garrison made no answer which Gardner clearly heard. After the third shot had been fired, -Garrison ran behind a barn, and Gardner followed him, his swoking ritle in his hand; when he found Garri- son, the lahtex was down upon his hands and knees behind a rail fence. Gardner walked up to him and said, “You have been working for this for some time, and now you have got it, you— —,” using some’ of the vilest language possible to be used, after which he turned and walked back to where he claims Garri- together with ln> own rifle. fense. This account given at the preliminary examina- tion, and is taken almost entirely from the testimony of witnesses made b, Jororer’s inquest. the shooting was reported, George H. Spear, County Attor ney of Itasca county, accom- panied by Sheriff Hoolihan and Dr. Russell, County Coroner, started for the scene of the crime and reached there on the second day after a faliguing drive of more thana hundred miles, the road being through a low zmd swampy cnunm'y. After reaching the scene of the erime and arresting Gardner, an in- quest was held over the body of Garrison, after which they started for Grand Rapids with the prisoner. Gardner seems to think he has a splendid defense and has se- cured eminent counsel, who will havea hard time to bring this case within the law of self-de- fense. As was _proven in the case of State vs. Wm. Coddington, Mr. Spear has shown himself to be a most vigorous prosecutor, having secured a conviction of murder in the second degree in the face of Coddington’s claim of self- defense.
