'THE BEMIDJI VOLUME 4. NUMBER 112 BEMIDJ1, MINNESOTA. TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST £8, 1906 DAILY PIONE MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. TEN CENTS PER WEEK UMPIRE AT HIBBING VERY, VERY ROTTEN Rank Decision Robs Bemidji of Two: Runs and Victory in Second Game. RANGE TEAM CAPTURES BOTH GAMES AT HIBBING SUNDAY Boys Are Not Kicking. However---Team Considerably Weakoned by Absence of “*Louie” Roy. The members of the Bemidji baseball team returned home yesterday afternoon from Hib- bing, where they dropped two games to the Hibbing team in a double-header Sunday afternoon. They have no excuse to offer for losing the games, beyond the fact that they were weakened by the absence from the game of *Louis” Roy, who has been a tower of strength behind the bat. Gertz, cat her for Grand Rap-| ids, joined the team at Grand Rapids, and while he caught a very good game, he had not played with the team before and was not 1n a position to fill Roy’s place in! the combination plags which have made wany scores for the locals this year. Farley L-Gore pitched the tirst game, which went to Hibbing by a score of 8 to 3. He struck out three, allowed five hits, and Be- midji made five errors behind him, but few members of the team failing to make a misplay. Freeman pitched for Hibbing. He struck out five, four hits were made off him, and Hibbing erred | twice. Farley LeGore pitched four innings of the second game and | Lee LeGore five. There wasone strike out, Hibbing got six hits, and Bemidji erred thrice. Crammer, formerly of Duluth and lately of Spokane in the Pa- cific Northwest league, pitched the second game for Hibbing, and he won his own game in the sev- eath inning, when he put the ball over the fence for a home run. The Bemidji boys complain bitterly of the work done by Goldie, the Hibbing umpire, {REGORD GATGH OF FISH | James Winebrenner Lands Four Pick- erel Weighing Thirty-two Pounds — One Fifteen-Pounder. | James Winzbrenner, the dean of tiwe lceil anglers, has the record cotch of big tish for Lake Bemidji, While casting at the .

We would like to window for the SOME PEOPLE EXPECT NEW SHOES TO HURT And they are seldom disappointed. They buy that kind. The fact that a shoe should feel comfortable from the start is unknown to them because they have never felt the luxury of putting on a rightly made shoe, They overiook the fact that a Hanan shoe at its price gives the wear of two pairs of the kind they buy. They forget, also, that a HANAN SHOES offers more real comfort when new than their kind of shoes offer after months of wear—that it starts out a smart, stylish shoe and ends just 5 as smart and stylish.

He has scaled all the logs that have been taken from the outlet of Loake Juha into Mud river, which have b en removed from the lake-by the pick up hoist of the M, R L. & M. Railway company. 3 There .were originally five million feet of logs in the boom at the outlet. and the work of hoisting tfiem was commenced 1n the early: summer, Already over four million have been hoisted and there remains in the neighborhood of three hundred thousand feet to hoist before the jobis cleaned up, and Mr, Rice expects that the crew will be through the latter part of next week. These logs are hoisted at Liake Julia a1 d brought to Bemidji over the Red Lake railroad, trans- ferred here to the M. & I. tracks and taken - to Minneapolis and dump>d into the boom there. The logs are the property of C A. Smith, and the logging and dehwvery = to Minneapolis en- tails a vast amount of work. “Bemidji”’ or “Walker” day. An interesting event of the first day will be the ball game between the Big Falls and Kelli- her teams. Both nines will be strengthened for the game, a:d it is expectel that the cont-st will be a hard-fought one. Fair Notes. The special freight car which has been chartered by the fair management to take exhibits from Bemwidji and vicinity to Blackduck is in charge of Wes Wright. He announces that he will have the car open for recep- tion of livestock, vegetables, etc., at the M. & I. depot until 8 o’clock this evening. The car will be taken to Blackduck at 8:30 tomorrow morning. One of the features of “Be- midji Day” at the fair will be the baseball game between the mem- bers of the Bemidji and Black- duck K. of P. lodges. Ten of the members of the local lodge will participate in the game. An ar- rangement has been made where- by the goats belonging "to the McTaggart boys will be taken to Blackduck and used as the official *‘mascots” of the Bemidji lodge. The players have not all been selected as yet, but the matter will be more fully ar- ranged at the meeting of the local lodge to be held this even- ing. The game, however, is assured, and will be played in the forenoon. There will be a lot of free shows on the streets at Black- duck. One of the best is Hershall’s dog -circus, which comes direct from' the White City, Duluth’s famous summer resort. The Duluth Herald says this is one of the very best dog circuses in the country. Gene Smith, the Blackduck barber, will have on exhibition a sample of his famous ‘‘coffee’ flavor, The Big Falls band will furnish the music at the -fair tomorrow. The Bemidji band will be in at- tendance on Thursday and Fri- day. & 3 : J. Adam Bede will speak in the afternoon, at.1:30 o’clock, in stead of in the evening as has heretofore been udvertised. It is impossible for Mr. Bede to re- main at Blackduck over night and the hour was changed from 8 o’clock in the evening to the afternoon, so that the congress: man may return in the late after- noon to Bemidji and go from here to Duluth on the night train, Bede is always funny, and his speech tomorrow will probably be as good as any he has hereto- LYGAN & CO.

TWO.OF BOY COMPANIONS BRING NEWS FROM SCENE OF ACCIDENT Johu Moberg, who has the con- tract to grade and iron an exten- sion of the Mallard Lake line of railroad for the Red River Lum- ber company, spent last night in Bemidji and left this morning for Akeley, to confer with the officials of the lumber company. Mr. Moberg states that he has finished grading the extersion of line, which is from Mallard to Squaw lake, a distance of sixand one-half miles, bat that he has been forced to stop;the work on account of the non-arrival of the rails for the track, there being a greapshortage in the steel market at the present time. There are twelve million feet of logs in Squaw lake and four million in Long lake, on the new line, which are the property of the Red River comvpany, and the logs will not be hoisted until the railroad is completed so that they can be hauled, to the mill at Axe- ley, via the Mallard ‘extension and the Great Northern railway. F. S. LYCAN DECLARES GREAT FAITH IN BEMIDJI'S FUTURE. Tells of Extensive Remodeling and Im- provements to Be Made-at the Hostelry. Impossible at Time of Going to Press to Learn Seriousness of Lad’s Injuries. The deal which has been pend- ing for a week past whereby W. 8. Lycan & Co. of Crookston de- sired to secure possession of the Hotel Markham, was closed yes- terday afternoon by the Lycans getting a long-time lease of the property from Mrs, Belle Mark- ham, administratrix of the estate of Joseph Markham. Frank S. Lycan, who has been here for several days with his wife and his daughter- Donna, says concerning the acquisition of the hotel by his brother, W. S., and himeself: “We have watched Bemidji grow from a small village to a thriving city, and we have for some time been desirous of en- gaging in the hotel business in your town. We have visited sev- eral other cities in this part of the state, and we selecteéd Bemid- jias the very best of them all, and that only -after having gone carefully over the field and in vestigated the businessconditions that now exist and the fature prospects of the places. 7 “‘We are confident that Bemidji i3 built ong sofid tinancial foun- dation and that businesshere will be good for all time to come and will steadily improve. We have reason to know what the whole- salers and jobbers of the twin cities and other places think of Bemidji and her business men, and I can agsure you that you have every reason to feel proud of what outside people think of your city. ; “With such excellent environ- ments for a summer resort, there is no reason why Bemidji should not be filled with visitors from outside points during the entire summer season. oy “We intend to remodel the in- terior of the hotel, by making the office larger and more commodi- ous.. All of the rooms will be re- furnished and more baths will be added. The entire building. will be raised two and one-half feet to conform with the grade es- tablished for the streets by your city engineer. “My brothar and I have not yet decided which of us will live here and have charge of the hotel, but one of us will make our home with you and have personal sup. ervision of the business. We will take formal possession Sep- tember15.” 3 Walter Markham, who has had charge of the hotel since the death of J. M. Markham, has not yet decided whether he will en- gage in busicess, at present, He and Mrs. Markham will erect a residence ‘here and make their home in B:midji, after they turn over possession of the hotel to the lessees. Poor Town for Tramps. Chicf of Police Bailey reports very little doing in police circles these d'ays. Very few men have] been int)ixicated lately, most of the unemployed having gone to the harvest fields over west: to earn a few dollars for winter. Any of the hobo fraternity who come to town are given the hunch to “move on” and they keep on their way to the east or west, as At a late hour this afternoon, Clarence Welch and Eddie Brink- man came running into the city from the direction of Marquette lake, breathless and greatly ex- cited, and the former states that while a party of boys were shoot- ing with a shotgun at a target on the shore between Big and Little Marquette lakes,” three miles south of Bemidji, Fred Wheelock, the 14-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs, A. T. Wheelock, was shot in the neck, so serious- ly that the Welch boy is of the opinion that he died immedi- Great McEwen Is Great.
