The Bewidji band was secured, and the members of the fire department and private citizens, regardless of political faith, joined in the dem- onstration with a will. The train was over an hour late, but when it arrived, Mr. Pendergast was carried from the train on the shoulders of] several of his staunchest ad-' mirersand borne in triumph to; a large chair which had been prepared for the occasion, seated in the chair, and, led by the band, Mayor Carter and a large crowd of citizens, he was hoisted in the air and taken to the city hall,! mid the hurrahs of his friends and neighbors, Mr. Pendergast ascended to the balcony cf the city hall, Great| Northern depot to the city hall} = !

The statement is made that two directors, who are also members of the bar, have | profited to the extent of $750,000 in the past three years by accepting fees from Adolph Segal for passing on se- | curity tendered by him for loans from } tne bank aggregating $5,300,000. So i far as is known warrants have not yet i been issued for these men, but the i public is awaiting with breathless in- i terest sensational arrests of directors who stood high in the community be- fore the crash and exposure came.

The affairs of the Indians on ithe Red Lake reservation are to ibe placed in new hands, accord ing to a dispatch from Washing- 1 ton, which says: It is understood to be the pur- ipose of Iundian Commissioner . Leupp to separate the Red Lake reservation in Minnesota from {the Leech Lake agency, The jaffairs of the Indians at Red Lake will be placed in the hands of a school superintendent. This step was suggested to Com- missiner Leupp some months t ago, but before taking any action he decided to have a special agent make an investigation and re- port. An inquiry has been made and the facts placed before the rcommissioner are said to be such {as to justify him in recommend- ing to the secretary of the in- i terior that Red Lake be detached from the Leech Lake agency. The present sub-agent at Red iLake is R. E. L. Danials. J, R. {Collard is the official physican, land S. O. Norman is superin- tendent of the Indian school. The last named would probably I'be selected as the bonded school superintendent in charge of the Indians. The Norwegian Lutheran Sun- i day school will hold a picnic at Diamond point next Sunday.

The Bemidji baseball team of 1906 has disbanded and a major- ity of the players who were at different times members of the organization bave for the most part left the city. During the season the following have played with Bemidji: Holstein and Roy, -catchers; Farley and Lee LéGore, Hazen, Summers, Munroeand Saunders, pitchers; Riddell, Lewis, Hoover and L.

LeGore and Winters, center field; Collins and Otto, left field. Lee LeGore did most of the pitching, but was not in good physical condition, during most of the games. However, he did phenominal work in several contests. Farley LeGore did not get to going good in the pitcher’s box until late in the season, but when he got his 1¢“spit’’ ball under control, he was simply unhitable, and was the only semi-professional pitcher, except the Sh‘alifi‘pee man, who beat Hibbing.! ., Hazen has pitched - nice ball; but does not like to pitch, and was not put on the slab regu- larly. He is as good as the best of them. Summers pitched several games and won all of them, He was too valuable in the infield to take his regular turn in the box, although he has great speed and mice curves Munrce pitched but one game, early in the season, which he won, Saunders did not join the team until the last game with Black- duck, He pitched great ballin this contest and easily won out Holstein, the catcher, began the srason with the team and was very steady and reliable. Roy came during the latter part of the season and his work was gilt-edged. It was at first base that the team was weak all summer. Riddell did not have time to practice, and was somewhat erratic in his work, though for the most part good. Lewis was only fair, and Hoover makes no pretensions of playing the first bag, although he did very well. Hallet, Hazen and Hoover all did nice work on the second sack. At third, Eddie Gilmore was a tower of strength, Collins easily excelled the out fielders, although Farley LeGore did fine work in the center garden when not pitching. The team played thirty-two games, winning twenty-four and losing eight, giving the cjub a per centage of of .750, certainly agood record. The games won were as follows, Bagley 2, Grand Rapids 8, Walker 2, Deer River 2, White Earth Indians 3, Crookston 1, Blackduck 3, Ake- 1'y2, Hibbing 1, Jacksons (St. Puul) 4, Fertile 1, Clequet 1.

Outside of the-Shakopee team, Bemidji was the only semi-proffessional team shat defeated Hibbing this year. flive games were played with Hibbing, and although Bemidji out-hit and out-fielded Hibbing in every contest but one, luck - MINNESOTA HISTORICAL DAILY PIONEER: SOCIETY. TEN CENTS PER WEEK FIRST THRESHING RIG ARRIVES IN TENSTRIKE Neighboring Village Is Very Proud of This Evidence of Agricultural Development. Charles Gustafson, the post- master-editor of Tenstrike, was in the city teday, on business. Mr. Gustafson tells of the first threshing rig to arrive in Ten- strike. It came a few days ago, and is the pride of the com- munity, as demonstrating pro- gress along agricultural lines. The motive power for the machine is furnished by a horse- power attachment, and it is the property of E E. Schulke of Tea- strike. MEXICAN REVOLUTIONISTS. Instructed to Attack Custom House at Nogales, El Paso, Tex., Sept. 7.—A letter lound on the person of Bruno Trevino, one of the men arrested as Mexican revolutionists on the Arizona border, dated Toronto, Ont., and signed R. F. Lores Magood, head of the Mexican revolutionary junta, instructs Trevino, when he has 100 men willing to fight, to attack the Nogales custom house, take arms and then proceed to inter- for towns, and gather recruits. The letter says: “Let Cananea alone for the present. Take Nogales first.” - The writer cautions Trevino agains acting too soon, and says: “We cannot yet fix the day on which the uprising takes place, be- cause we must arm ourselves. There are forty revolutionary centers throughout the country, but not all ypessess sufficient arms. The junta is working to secure funds. There are persons who could loan money to buy arms. If they do it the junta will is- sue the necessary receipts, which will, on trimuph of the revolution, be re- paid. In this manner it will be easier to secure money. We must act when we have the probability of success. Above all, the movement does not lag, but it will not be on Sept. 16, as cer- tain papers have—guessingly made it appear. The day on which the ris- ing wiil take place cannot be named. 'This depends on the various groups, or the majority of them, being ready.” POLICYHOLDERS' Richard Olney Presides at Meeting in New York City.

Train Late, Because of Log Train Accident Near Bridgie. The south-bound M. & I. pas- senger train was delayed forty minutes this morning through being held at Funkley last night, on account of an accident to a log train, a mile south of Bridgie, yesterday afternoon. The log train was going south at a good rate of speed when several of the l6gs on one of the cars became detached and rolled to the roadbed, tearing up tha ties and the track for 100 feet. A car was badly smashed and the track made impassable. The rails were not replaced in time to allow the north-bound passenger train last evening to pass on to Big Falls, and the train was held at Funkley all night, This morning the train went north from Funkley to the scene of the wreck and the passengers that had been brought down on the local freight from Big Falls were taken aboard.' This caused a delay of forty mihutes, and when the train arrived here, no stop was made for breakfast, which is the usual custom, but the train immedi- ately pulled out for Brainerd. Today the work of clearing the track and replacing the rails has been pushed at Bridgie and it is likely that by this evening the passenger rorth-bound can run to Big Falls as usual, BRIEF BITS OF NEWS.

EXTENSION OF TIME MUST BE ASKED BY MOST LUMBERMEN Are Finding It Impossible to Complete Cutting on Reservations in Five Years. William Lyon of Burlington, Iowa, general manager for the Burlington Lumber company, spent yesterday in Bemidji, in connection with the logging which his company has been and is at present doingin this part of Minnesota. The Burlington company was one of the suceessful bidders for the pine that was disposed of on {the Chippewa reservation at the Cass Lake sales two years ago, securing about 100,000,000 feet ;at the two sales. Most of this pine is located in Town 144-29, | south of Schley, around Portage lake, and in Town 146-25, north- west of Deer River. The Bur- {lington company has logged two winters on this timber and has cut about 30,000,000 feet, there jbeing left an ‘aggregate of 70,000,000. The compaay also secured a large amount of timber located on ‘‘deceased” allotments, which it is Jogging, and has just com- pleted cleaning up a large amount of private pine which it owned north and northeast of Cass Lake, and which was driven to Cass Lake, hoisted there and taken to Minneapolis and thence to Burlingtn via Pokegame dam and the Mississippi Boom com- ! pany’s river drive. When the contracts were made between the government and the lumber companies which secured the pine on the reservations, it was agreed that all the pine should be cutand gotten out of the way in five years time. Itis stated that the companies, in most all cases, will be forced to ask for an extension of time on | these cuttings, as the amount of pine on the lands is greatly over- close of business Tuesday, Sept. 4. |running the estimate n:[tde by The famous Celser winhouse at| the government.
