= o "! % SRR = CHINKS IN BIG MIX-UP Four (Qrientals Engage in Fight Causing Injury to Two Men. KNIVES, CLUBS AND OTHER WEAPONS USED IN FRAY. Police Queli Disturbance and Take the Offenders Away To Jail. Residents on Second street were startled last night by yells, cries and curses emanating from Sing Lee’s Chinese laundry and for a short time it was feared that a second boxer outbreak had occurred. A crowd gathered about the place and entrance was gained to the building. The spec- tacle presented was one which will never be forgotten. Four Chinese with disheveled hair and bloody hands and faces were en- gaged in a mix-up, each carry- ing a weapon, some knives, others flat irons and still others clubs, and the object of all seemed to in- flict as much punishment as pos- sible to all of the others. After a while a sufficient force of police and citizens had entered the building to quell the riot but not before serious injury had been done to two of the combatants, who sus- tained badly cut hands. They were taken to police head- quarters and afterwards taken before Judge Pendergast, who imposed a fine of $10 and costs upon each of the men. Two paid the fine, Sam Kee and Sing Lee, but Charlie Shue and Charlie Lee refused to put up the coin and they were confined in the city jail. An attorney was engaged by the latter and an appeal wili be taken to the district court. TO GIVE DOYLE HIS LIBERTY Effort Will be Made in Be- midji to Secure Bonds for Wm. Doyle.

Avery were arraigned in Judge Pendergast’s court yes- terday afternoon upon a charge of stealing wood from a farmer who lives near Solway, who al- leges that the couple has taken away several cords of fuel and wishes to have their depredations upon his wood pile put to an end and the guilty parties punished. The trial was adjourned to Dec. 30 and the defendants released upon their own recognizance. It is said that wood thieves are numerous in the vicinity of Sol- way and in order to keep one’s fuel supply up to the standard unusual vigilance must be exer- cised. The conviction and pun ishment of some of the offenders may vresultin a better state of affairs with regard to the fuel problem to residents in the town of Buzzle. INJURED IN RUNAWAY Wm. Blakely and Wm. Lyon Sustain Bad Bruises in Runaway Accident. A runaway team of horses yes- terday afternoon overturned a carriage containing Wm. Blakely, the Farley lumberman, and Wm. Lyon, an employe of Blakely & Farley, causing the severe injury of both men, who were badly bruised, although no bones were broken. The two men started out from Farley todrive toa nearby lumber camp when the horses became frightened at some object by the roadside and started to run at the top of their speed. Frenzied efforts to stop the team were made but trey were useless and at a turn in the road the carriage overturned and the men were thrown headlong to the ground with hard force. They were assisted to Farley and are at present at the Hotel Blakely under the care of Dr. Henderson of Bemidji. WILL TRY FOR THE PIANO Workman and Degree of Honor Unite in Effort to Secure Most Votes. The A. O. U. W. and the De- gree of Honor lodges have de- cided to try for first place in the piano contest now being given by Bemidji merchants, and have united themselves to make an ef- fort to secure the valuable prize. The entire membership of the two lodges is nearly 100 and with this number of active workers it is thought that at the final count of votes they will stand far to the front. The firemen and Catholic church still have a good lead over the other competitors, but it is probable that a large number of votes are being held back for the last day. Legalities May Follow. A. M. Cleaves, general agent for the Minnesota & Internation- al railway company, is still in the city endeavoring to adjust the losses sustained by the three Be noit farmers in the wreck of the stock car at Tenstrike in which one of the horses owned by them was killed and another was badly injured. They claim that every one of the animals was injured and consequently wish a larger amount of damages than the com- pany is willing to pay. The par- ties interested will go to Ten- strike tonight to look over the horses, but it is not thought that an agreement can be reached be- tween the company and the los- ers and in this case the matter will be decided in court. Britt Gets Decision. At the end of the twentieth round with Jimmy Britt of San Francisco and “Battling”’ Nelson of Chicago fighting fiercely, the gong souaded at Mechanic’s pa- villion, San Francisco, last night, and Referee Roche named Britt as the winner of the fight. Both men were 1n excellent training for the event and the throng that gathered to witness the fight saw one of the cleanest exhibi- tions of prize fighting ever given. The gate receipts amounted in all to $35,000, nearly all of which will be divided between the tw men. 5 TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY. A A A AAAAAAANAAAAANARAR LOST—Black mare, white stripe in face, weighs about ten hun- dred, 8 years old. Crookston Lumber Co. NJURIES ARE FATAL Alfred Brewer, Vietim of Boiler Explosion, Given Up By Doctors. SLOWLY DYING AT ST. AN- THONY’S HOSPITAL. Relatives and Friends of the Dy- ing Man Allowed to Take Final Farewells. - Alfred Brewer, one of the men injured in the recent disastrous boiler explosion at the home of Fred Eikstadt, is slowly dying at St. Anthony’s hospital and the doctors in attendance have given up all hopes of saying his life. Besides a fractured skull, Brewer sustained a broken leg and internal injuries which were not apparant at the first examina- tion. The fracture alone is suf- ficient to have caused death and that he has lived until the pres- ent timeis considered miraculous. He has been unconscious nearly the whole time since the accident occurred but at times would rally and talk rationally to those about him for a few minutes. He would then sink into another spell of unconsciousness. This condition has been prevalent since his confinement in the hospital and the strain has grad- ually worn out the man until at the present time he is but a mere shadow of his former self. Relatives and friends of the in jured man are allowed in the room where he isconfined and to- day a brother from Illinois and his sister, Mrs. Fred Eikstadt, have been in constant attendance at his bedside awaiting the final summons. The other injured men are in good condition considering the extent of their-injuries, and it is thought by the physiciaus that the lives of both Albert Brewer and Fred Eikstadt will yet be saved. WERE ROYALLY ENTERTAINED Delegation of Eastern Stars and Masons Given Recep- tion at Cass Lake. A representation of the lodges of Eastern Star and Masons went to Cass Lake yesterday afternoon where they attended the joint installation of officers of the lodges in that city, held last night, The affair is de- scribed as one of the most elab- orate and well planned functions ever given in norfthern Minne sota, aud the entertainment and treatment received by the Be- midji delegation at the hands of their hosts is spoken of as being the best that could be offered. Committees of ladies and gentle- men from both lodges met the delegation at the train and from there they were taken to the principal points of interests in the city and shown every court- esy. The installation exercises were held at the Masonic hall and were very ceremonious. After the officers for the ensuing year d been duly installed dancing was participated in un- till midnight, when a banquet was served which can be ade- puately described only by those who partook of the dainty viands which had been prepared. The members of the Eastern Star who were in attendance from Bemidji were: Mrs. Wm. McCuaig, Mrs. T.J. Andrews, Mrs. J. H. French, Mrs. Thos. Bailey, Mrs. J. J. Conger and Mrs. A. E. Henderson. The Masons who attended were: Wm. McCuaig, T. J. Andrews and E. N. French. I AMUSEMENTS | The production of “The Fatal Wedding” at the City Opera house last night by the Falkner Stock company pleased a fair size audience. Specialties were interspersed throughout the per- formance and the characters in the play carried their parts well. “The Diamond King”’ will be the attraction this evening and the prices have been reduced to 15, 25 and 85 cents. ‘“Heart and Sword,” the ro- matic military drama in which the eminent Canadian actor, Mr. Harold Nelson, will appear at the City Opera house on Monday, Dec. 26, for one performance only, is intensely interesting: The scene of the play is laid in one of the small kingdoms of Eu- rope, and Mr. Nelson, as its rul- er, Prince Victor, has excellent opportunity for good work.

Harvey Woodward, one of the most popular of Bemidji’s young men, left this morning for Ard- more, Indian Territory, where he has accepted a lucrative and responsible position as cashier of one of the banks established in the territory by the Bankers’ Trust company, of which C. W. Baumbach is president and A. P. White treasurer. Mr. Wood: watrd received his appointment through his service as assistant cashier of the Lumbermens State bank of Bemidji and cashier of the First Nation bank at Perham, both the' institutions being con- trolled by Baumbach capital, where he received his training as a banker. He showed exceptional ability while in this city and in a little over a year it was decided to give him a wider scope in which to demonstrate his capabil- ity. Consequently he was given the cashiership of the bank at Per- ham, and under his manage- ment the institution became one of the best paying of. the line of banks owned by the Baumbachs in northern Minnesota. He was relieved at Perham and came to this city to spend a couple of months with his parents here, meantime preparing to remove to Ardmore, where his responsi- bilities will be doubly as great as before and where better op- portunities for his advancement are offered. His many friends in Bemidji unite in wishing him all possible success in the future. Fight Will Be Bitter.

Special Inspector Frye of the postoffice department, passed throngh the city yester- day morning on his way to North- ome will spent the greater por- tion of the week at that place W looking up alleged irregularities in the management of postal af- fairs there. From what can be gathered of the case it is quite probable that a “story’’ of con- siderable proportions will be de- veloped during the week, but as yet nothing definite in regard to the matter has been given out. Ernest Burgeois, the popular civil engineer who has charge of the surveying crew on the new railway, has taken a Christmas vacation aud left this afternoon for Boston, Mass., where he will spend the holidays with his par- ents and other relatives.
