The Minnesota & International — | yards at South Bemidji was the scene of a train wreck about3 o’clook this morning, when three cars loaded with coal crashed in- to a passing logging train. The result of the affair was that the three coal cars together with five of the cars of the logging train were derailed. None of the train crew was injured. Men employed at the station where coal is loaded onto cars were at work attempting to “pinch” several cars ahead so that they could be loaded. They failed in the effort and detached three of the cars which had al- ready been loaded. The three cars detached, upon being re- leased from the others, started down the inclined track upon which they were standing, with the result that they struck the logging train in the middle. A wrecking crew is at work clear- ing the tracks today. Farm For Sale.

Clerk of Court Rhoda left yes- terday for Long Prairie, where FIGHT MAY BE ARRANGED Charles Cutler of Cass Lake to Meet Kerry Kid of Superior. It is rumored that.Charles Cut- ler, the heavyweight pugilist who was a resident of Cass Lake for a year or more, and until about three months ago, is arranging a glove contest with “Kerry Kid,” a pug living at Superior who has something of a reputation in the scrapping line. Cutler and the “Kid” met at Cass Lake last win- ter, and Cutler was counted out, after having received anything but fair treatment at the hands of the referee, a resident of Su- perior, who allowed the “Kid” to|’ fight in any old manner he chose, while he hampered Cutler in every way possible. Cutler has made almost every kind of a pro- position to his opponent, -since the Cass Lake fight, in order to get a return match, but has not been successful, until now: At that fight, Cutler was not in good condition, and there is several kinds of money at Cass Lake that would be wagered on Cutler,if he and the “Kid” come together again, under conditions that are fair and impartial. Cutler is now a brakeman on the Great North- ern, running west from Grand Forks, and is in excellent condi- tion. The exact date for the fight has not been set, but it will be pulled off in Superior, within the next two months. Says Report Is Untrue. A letter received this morning from the camps .of Alphonse Crawford, near Funkley, states that the report to the effect that his camps had been affected by the recent killing of a number of horses affiicted with glanders is untrue. Mr. Crawford says that he has 52 horses at work and | that none of these is affected. MANY TOOK THE EXAMINATION Thirty-Eight Took Exams “ For First and Second Grade Certificates.

LUMBER IS , ADYANCING Wholesale Prices Have Ad- vanced From $1 to $1.50 Since Jan. 1. Those who are contemplating doing yery much building the ‘comirg spring will be interested in an advance of from $1 to $1.50 in the.price of nearly everything in the northern pine list by the wholesalers since the first of the month. Piece stuff and fencing are $1.50 higher on lists of northern pine manufacturers and boards of all lengths and sizes are §1 over the former lists. ‘While the retail price has not been advanced as yet, there is no question but what it will be ad- vanced in the course of a very ' | few days. The stocks of all the big saw mills are badly broken, the de- mand having been excellent all i {last summer and continuing till late in the fall. A brisk demand is also assured for the early spring as building operations throughout the northwest promise to be more active than for several years past. This means that the saw mills will be run at their full capacity irom the moment logs are available day and night till the season closes. The advance is declared by manufacturers to be inevitable under the . conditions. The re- port of invoices taken Jan. 1 shows less lumber on hand than a year previous, and the demand this month has been unusual for midwinter. Bemidji May Participate. A. G. Rutledge, of this city, who is secretary of the old Northern Minnesota Firemen’s Tournament association, states thata meeting of the executive committee of that association will be held at Grand Rapids, some time during the early part of February, when the date for holding the next annual tourna- ment of the association will be set, as wel: as the arranging of the races and the rules govern- ing 'the coutests. ~The next tournament will be held at Cass Lake, and it is the desire of a majority of the departments that the races take place the last week in June. The following departments are members of the association: Cass Lake, Park Rapids, Grand Rapids, Eveleth, Virginia, Fayal, Sparta, Nash- wauk. Itis expected that the Walker, Akeley, and Hibbing de- partments will join the associa- tion this year; and it is possible that Bemidji will also participate, although the local department belongs to the western associa- tion. ..
