" boat, but it rolled and threw him | FISH WAS TOO STRONG Ed. Dahl Hooks a Pike That Palls Him From Boat. — C. W. WARFIELD RESCUES HIM FROM DROWNING. Finny Animal Only Little Over Foot Long, But Oh My! At last history can record the story of a big fish that pulled a man out of a boat i Lake Be- midji, It happened last evening and Ed. Dahl, bartender for Julius Dahl, was the unhappy vietim. He told the tale to C. W. War- field, the man who rescued him from a watery grave, with feel- ing. And he didn’t lose the fish. Dahl had procured a boat ard anchored about 100 feet south east of the city dock in the hopes of catching a good string. But luck was against him and he could not even get a bite. Suddenly, however, there was a tremendous haul on his line and the lone fisherman was all excitement in a minute. “Gee, that's a tremendous strong fellow,”” he exclaimed as the captive struggled and fought and refused to come peaceably into the boat. Then the inevitable happened. Dahl got too close to the rail, the fish gave a lunge, and over went! the skiff, - The fisherman tried his best to climb onto the bottom of the| i off whenever he made the at- tempt. In the meantime C. W. War-| field and a traveling man friend, Joseph Varnerd, were working on shore and seeing the man’s predicament, rushed into War-} field’s boathouse and cast loose his launch. They reached the! scene of the mishap just as Dahll ithat used G. N. AGENTS TO WEAR UNIFORMS New Order Goes Into Effect Soon —Garb Will Be Very “Swell.” Agents and ticket agents of the Great Northern Railway company are to be uniformed. The new order has been sent out and applies to general agents at points where there is but one agent, and to the ticket agent at points where there are ticket and freight agents. The uniform will consist of a single-breasted sack coat, a single-breasted vest, without col- lar, trousers of the prevailing style, of blue cloth dimilar to in the uniforms of train men. The ticket agent will also wear a silk cap, with gold letters announcing his title, and the only difference in case there is no ticket agent will be in the lettering on the cap, the word agent heing used. The caps will be trimmed with gold cord and gold letters and| the uniforms will be decorated with brass buttons. The new rule does not apply to ticket clerks or to freight agents. Henry Dahlstrom, Ole Benson and John Thompson of Black- duck, are Bemidji visitors today. Maurius Martinson of Black- duck, passed through the city this morning on his way to Cass Lake. He was accompanied by Olof Forsman and Nels Folgrien, whom will testify for him in his homestead final proof. boat. “How did it happen?’ was the question asked as soon as Dahl could get his breath. “Big fish” was the answer, and this was all they could get out of him for the time being, except that he wanted to return and get his boat and pole. The latter was floating on the water near at hand and Warfield picked 1t up without much trouble. And there at the end of the line was the “big fish.” Tt was giving up hopes, and pulled | the half-drowned man into the! i was a pike and measured a little over a foot in length. TALE MAGNIFIED, SAYS McLACHLAN “North Star's” Maiden Trip on Lake Was a Pronounced Success. It was all a joke by some of his friends, and it seems that the tale of the casting away of Cap- tain W. B. McLachlan and his party Tuesday was greatly ex- agerated. “Those fellows said they were going to get back at me for keep- ing them out all night,’’ said the captain today, ‘“and I guess they did alright,” The true happen- ings of that much advertised trip are told by Mr. McLachlan himself and rob the story of much of its exciting features. It was the “North Star’s maiden trip and she was loaded with ten tons of freight for the opposite side of the lake. Every- thing went along finely until one of the engines blew out a gasket and Mr. McLachlan decided to drift into shore and fix it up, it being hard to doa good job out on the lake. They landed at Stony Point with ease (they were not cast ashore) and then it grew so dark that it was decided to wait until morning before doing the work. When C. W. Warfield came over with his launch the passen- gers, who had sat up all night telling stories, returned with him and Captain MecLachlan fixed his engine and in a short time delivered his freight. The maiden trip was success- ful in every way and two other successful trips were made yes- terday. It is the intention to make a trip every day from now on. The boat is in excellent NORWEGIANS TO CELEBRATE DAY Elaborate Program of Speeches and Music at Courthouse Tonight. May 17, the Norwegian Inde- pendence Day, will be celebrated in Bemidji tonight.
