| ) I— BY G. N. TRAIN Terribly Mangled Body Found on Tracks Near Solway This Morning. VICTIM A STRANGER: NO MEANS OF IDENTIFICATION Deputy Coroner Left for Scene This Afternoon—No Inquest Necessary. The horribly mangled corps of an unknown man was found on the Great Northern tracksa mile and a half west of Solway this foreroon about 10 o’clock, He was not recognized as a Beltrami county resident, and there were no papers or other means of identification on his person by which his name or address could be ascertained. KFrom all appearances the man had been run down by a freight train last night or this morning. It was decided that no inquesit was necessary and Deputy Coroner Lahr went to Solway this afternoon to give the body burial. ' Many Visit Plantagnet. The Jester summer resort at the north end of Lake Plantag- net, known as the “Jester Farm,”’ is being well patronized, and there are now at the placea num- ber of people from outside points enjoying the fishing and boating on the lake. There is a party of five from Kansas City who are quartered in cottages. Theyare making some nice catches of fish and enjoying the best of health. Ed. H. Stong of Cavlier, N. D, and H, Stong of Minneapolis, arrived in the city last night and left today for Jester farm. They will put in a month on the shore of Lake Plantagnet, in one of the numerous cottages. The Jester farm is ideally lo- cated for a summer resort. There are large trees, affording the best shade, and the lake is but a few feet from the cottages. There is fine drinking water, ard every accommodation is offered the visitors. There is no better pike, croppie and perch fishing anywhere than on Lake Plantag- net. W. B. McLachlan makes daily trips to the head of Lake Plan- tagnet from Bemidji, affording . excellent transportation facilities from this place to the Jester farm and return. Are Advertising Fair. B. K. Cook, superintendent of the Blackduck public schools and a clerk of the exhibit committee for the street fair and old settlers’ reunion to be held in that village in August, is in the city today on business connected with the latter undervaking. Mr. Cook says the advertising com- mittee is busy sending outadver- tising matter and that the fair is to be noised abroad ina way that, it is expected, will draw big crowds. Large posters are being sent out to all the villages on the M. & I. and will be followed up with cards and other kinds of ad- vertising matter. Arrange- ments are being made for the printing of the premium list. Officers and people desiring the very best lead pencils should bear in mind that the Pioneer carries in stock a full line of the best pencils among which are Fabers HH, HHH, HHHH, HHHHH and HHHHHH; the Kohinoor, Mephisto, stenograph- ers, and seyeral grades of the best 5¢ pencils. UNKNOWN KILLED AKELEY WILL PLAY BEMIDJI Here on Sunday Afternoon.—Two Teams Are Playing at Akeley Today. Word was received by 'phone this noon that the Akeley team would play here Sunday after- noon. There will be no “fluke”’ this time and a good game is looked for. The Bemidji team left this morning for Akeley, whare two games will be played today. The first will be called at 3 p. m. and the other will be played after supper. The team will line up as follows: Roy ¢, Summers p, Hoover or Finn Ib, Hazen 2b, Hoover or Finn ss, Gilmore 3b, |Carlton or Lee L-Gore rf, F. LeGore ct, Collins 1f. Hazen will pitch the second game. The Akeley team is a strong one. Last Sunday they defeated the Walker outfit 13 to5. They have as pitchers Coleman, an Indian, and Krueger. Bungo and Hallet are also members of the team. The locals will not return home until tomorrow. Last evening the management oi the Walker team notified the local management that it would be impossible for the Walker players to come here for the game which had been arranged for Sunday. No particular reason was given for the back- down, but it is believed that the remembrance of that awful drubbing last Saturday still lingers with Manager Johnson and he has become afflicted with cold feet, as far as the Bemidji nine is concerned. It is known that he couid have secured Funk, the Carver pitcher, and it is re- gretted that Walker did not see fit to come, as withastrengthened team, the game would undoubt edly have been a good one. Frank Finn, who played with Bemidji’s crack team of two years ago, arrived in the city last night and went to Akeley with the team this morning. Finn has been playing with the fast Staples team, and he asserts that Staples is by far the best team in this part of the state. Frank will play with the boys Sunday. It is likely that the Grand Rapids team will be secured for a game here in the near future. The Rapids boys recently de- feated Big Duluth, and on Sun- day last they won two games from the Universal Miller nine of Duluth. In one of the games, the Millers was shut out, the score being 3 to 0. Stafford, who played here occasionally last year, is pitching for Grand Rapids. He pitched the game for Deer River against Bemidji early this season, and our boys found him freely. The shut-out administered to the Millers, how- ever, demonstrates that Grand Rapids is very strong, as the Millers are considered a fast aggregation. Hoover bas a letter- from the manager of the International Falls team, in which the latter states that a team from that part of the country contemplates making a trip and would like to play Bemidji. They play fast ball up there around the Cana- dian line and the Falls club would undoubtedly give the locals a good game.

MISS LELA SOLBERG LEADS CONTEST WITH 300 VOTES Other Contestants Are Misses Dora Hazen, Mabel McTaggart and Anna McConnell. The great race among the ladies of the city and the sur- rounding country for the mag- nificent diamond ring and the solid gold watch offered by the Commercial club in the carnival voting contest has begun. There are now four candidates in the field, all young ladies liy- ing in Bemidii, and although only a few votes have been cast up to date, there is every prospect of a lively tussle for first and sec- ond places. All of the young women have hosts of friends, and once they get fairly well filled with enthus- iasm, there will be things doing. It is also probable that several other candidates will be entered within the next few days. There is still plenty of room, and no one has very much of a start to be overcome by latecomers, if the latter do not wait too long. Today Miss Lela Solberg is in the lead, having 300 votes to her credit. The candidates entered and their standing up to 2 o’clock this afternoon are given below: Miss Lela Solberg ... .... 300 Miss Dora Hazen.......... 150 Miss Mabel McTaggart 150 Miss Anna McConpell. .... 150 Each vote cast for a candidate costs one cent, and the money should be turned in at the Pioneer office to receive proper credit. When the cash is re ceived the votes will be issued and credit given in the paper throughthecontestcolumn, Each day a list of the young women and the number of votes each is entitled to will be published. YOUNG PEOPLE ON MERRY TRIP Ned Jerrard and Party Take Launch Ride to Cass Lake Down River. A party of Bemidji young people yesterday enjoyed the rare treat of a gasoline launch ride from Lake Bemidji down the Mississippi river and through the various lakes to Cass lake, one of the finest trips that can be taken from Bemidji to outside points. E. H. Jerrard’s fast little launch the “Tip-Toe” conveyed the party, which swas composed of the following: Misses Oliver, Berman, Benson (from Minne- apolis, cousin of Miss Berman), Pendergast and Morrison, Messrs. James Huycek, Clyde Covington, Thayer Bailey and E. H. Jerrard. The start was made at 9 in the morning and the party arrived at Cass Lake at6 in the evening. The trip down the Mississippi and through the rapids was somewhat exciting, but the “Tip- Toe” behaved prettily, and astop was .made at the bridge over the Mississippi about two miles above Wolf lake, where it was decided to eat dinner. E. H. Jerrard was unanimeusly elected as cook, with Thayer Bailey as cookee, and James Huyck acted as caterer. Mr. Jerrard made some coffee that was just “like mother used to have.”. He learned the trick while living at home in St. Cloud. Thayer used to attend G. A. R. campfires with his father, and is no slouch of a cook, himself, while Huyck knows all about calling a bill of fare in *‘kitchen French” or any other old lingo, The meal was thoroughly en- joyed, and the party sped on down the river and into Wolf lake, past the home of Fred Malzahn, on through to Lake Andrusa, across that lake t Allen’s bay, at the entrance to Cass Lake. A landing was made at the In. dian mission and the Indian MONEY CHEERFULLY REFUNDED Copyright 1906 B B.

Messrs. | Jerrard and Covington went to Cass Lake this morning and will bring the “Tip-Toe” home today. Y. M. C. A. Boys Leave. Twenty-one of the members of the Grand Forks Y, M. C. A.left yesterday afternocon for home. The young fellows were bronzed and flushed by the sun, but were in excellent spirits and the best of health. They had been camp- ing for several weeks on the north shore of Lake Plantagnet, where they enjoyed out-door life to the full, cooking in the open air, and fishing, bathing and boat- ing to their hearts’ content. To the Pioneer, a member of the party asserted that all had a fine time and they were loth to leave, but matters at home demanded their return. They declare they will come again next year, if nothing unforseen prevents. LIGHTNING KILLS ' TWO MEN. Bolt Hits Buggy in Which They Are Driving. Redwood Falls, Minn.,, July 27.— Nicholas Walter, a furniture dealer of Morgan, Minn., and Alfred Bahm, a farmer in Three Lakes township, were killed by a bolt of lightning at the Agency hill, eight miles east of Red- ‘Wwood Falls, about 6:30 p. m. The men were seen driving to the Minnesota river on a fishing tour early in the morning and undoubtedly were returning home when the bolt struck them, killing them instantly, - One ot the horses was also killed. There were no papers on the men to identify them and it was not until the coroner had begun his investiga- tion that it became known who they INTEREST GROWS IN CONFERENGE Instructive Sessions Are Held Last Evening and All Day Today. Important sessions of the Bible conference, now on at the’ Presbyterian church, were held last evening and today. The at- tendance has been growing daily, and the increasing interest has been manifest. . - The evening session lasted for only an hour and the program| consisted of an address by Dr. G. N. Luccock and music. The program was begun with the usual song service lasting for fifteen minutes. Then followed a talk by Dr, Luccock. Hechose as his theme, “God’s Faith in Men,” and treated the'subject comprehensively. He empha- sized that though man might lose faith in God, and man might lose faith in man, God never loses faith in man. The evening services were closed by a beautifully rendered pipe-organ solo by Rev. Hall- Quest of Blackduck. Today is Sunday school day and the subjects discussed were of special interest to school workers. Rev. 8, A. Jamieson presided. The morning was started with the usual devotional services, led this time by Rev. J. F. McLeod. Then followed the Bible talk by Dr. J. R. Pratt. 1n his previous discourses Dr, Pratt took up the early chapters in the book of Matthew, and this morning he continued from the same apostle, dwelling for his full time on the} thirteenth chapter, the one con- Not an exhibition but an_ actual demonstration, Flights daily, atmospheric condi- tions being favorable, from Twin City Wonderland, Minneapolis and St. Paul.
