Last night Mrs. J. J. Jinkin- son gave a strenuous demonstra- tion of the Japanese art of jiu-jit- su that saved her the loss of her watch and chain and a valuable pair of gold rimmed spectacles, and incidentally did considerable damage to the person of covetous disposition who tried to hold her up for the spectacles and the watch. Mrs. Jinkinson was passing the corner by the Miles “Golden Club” saloon, wihen some un- known man grabbed her spec- tacles and threw a handful of cut; paper in her face, nearly smoth- grabbed, but Mrs. Jinkinson hit the assaulter a hard rap over the head with her parasol and closed both her hands in his head of generous light hair, falling on top of him on the pavement. She proceeded to pound bis head on the cement walk until the blood i flowed freely and the man cried for help. The would-be thief made his {escape in the crowd, but not be- fore he had been given a good {sound drubbing that he will re- member-for some time. Mrs. Jinkinson comes from the good old school of women who are absolutely afraid of nothing, and she amply demonstrated to the onlookers that holdups on the streets of Bemidji are not toler- ated and that those who attempt anything of the kind will be lhandled roughly.

The locals out-classed the visitors at all points of the game, in all of the contests being just enough better to have the results safe. Farley LeGore pitched yester- day, and he certainly had the “Rapids” batters safely tucked away. He pitched shut-out ball, and the game would have been a shut-out, but for the fact that the ball was lost behind the third base in the seventh inning and a Grand Rapids batter scored. Two were out, when Haschey came to bat. He hit a fly to Hoover, in deep short field. The ball hit Hoover’s mitt and bound ed to the fence. It took the combined offorts of all the fielders to find it, and when the ball was recovered Haschey had run all ithe way from first base tothe plate and scored the only run his side has made against Farley’s pitching in two games, He struck out ten, and five hits were made by Grand Rapids, which were well scattered. Bemidji made four errors, but got to Thorson for seven hits. Summers stopped a low, wide throw at second base and by a beautiful throw nipped a runner at the plate. ‘“Red” Hazen put up a nice game af second base. Hoover was slightly ‘“off” from his usual steady game. Eddie Gilmore was ill, but pluckily Thorson pitched for Grand Rapids, and he did fairly good work. He allowed seven hits and struck out two. Some dumb work behind him was responsible for two scores. The series of three games which have been played between Bemidji and Grand Rapids have proven the fact that the local team is stronger than the “Rap- ids,” and has faster players, iplayed third. The Long Prairie and Alexan- dria teams will play a game at Sauk Center tomorrow for a purse of $100 a side. There has been much rivalry between the two teams this season, which cul- minated 2 week ago in an agree- ment for a game at Sauk Center tomorrow for $100 a side. The Great Northern will run a special train from Sauk Center to Long Prairie and return for the accom- modation of the Long Prairie “fans’’ who desire to go to the game. Arneson, who pitched the fourteen-inning game for Melrose against Bemidji two years ago, is the twirler for Long Prairie. . The Hibbing team defeated Shakopee at Hibbing Thursday, by a score of 7to 2. Booth, for- merly with Cloquet, pitched for Hibbing and struck out nineteen men. The Hibbing “fans” claim that the series of games with Shakopee are to decide the cham- pionship of the state of Minne- sota. There are several other teams that will dispute the right of these two to play for the cham- pionship; such as Bemidji, Long Prairie and Staples. The locals are very anxious for another try at the range town players, The White Earth Indians failed to catch the train this morning and will not arrive in the city un- til tonight. There will be two games played toworrow, a ‘“double.header,” and the man- agement has decided to charge but 35 cents admission to both games. Summers will pitch the first game for Bemidji and Far- ley LeGore will be on the firing line in the second. Eddie Carl, who has been playing this sum- mer with the Flandreau Indians will pitch the first. game for MISS SOLBERG WINS THE RING Has a Lead of 13,491 Yotes When Carnival Votigg Contest Closes. MISS HAZEN CAPTURES THE WATCH AND SECOND HONORS Contest Brought to an End Last Night—Total Votes Cast, 61,137, —_— Miss Lela Solberg is now wear- ing the handsome diamond ring, first prize in the carnival voting coutost, and Miss Dora Hazen is wearing the gold watch, the second prize. The contest came to a close last night at the booth on Third streetin front of the Schneider Bros. store. George Markham with a megaplione acted as “barker’’ while two cashiers at a table below took in the money and wrote out the votes, Miss Solberg ‘won an easy victory, being 13,491 votes ahead of her nearest competito> when the clock struck 10. Since the vot's were announced Pioneer last evening, Miss Sal- berg seered a sure winner. She was then nearly 2,500 votes ahead and was basy working, with excellent results. In the evening she was a close watcher of the bulletin board and circulated among the crowd on Third street and gathered up a large number of dollars for the contest. She easily maintained her lead throughout the eveniog and at the close; turned in 11,000 votes m one bunch. Miss Hazen was not on the scene in person, but a number of her friends were present and turned in enough votes to give her the second priza. The last two hours of the voting would undoubtedly have been more exciting had it not been for the general frolic, which refused. to take second place for even a voting contest. The following shows the total number of votes cast for each candidate, including the two who withdrew: Miss Lela Solberg........ Miss Dora Hazen......... Miss Kate Becker... Miss Mable McTaggart...... Miss Auna McConnell. ...... Netice to Contractors.
