' THE BEMIDJI D VOLUME 4. NUMBER 146. \ S BATTLE TO TIE ON FOOTBALL GRIDIRON| FE A Bemidji and Cass Lake High School Football Teams Both Fail to Score. NEW RULES PROVE A SERIOUS HANDICAP TO LOCAL PLAYERS Management Trying to Arrange for a Return Game Here Next Saturday. The football game played at Cass Lake Saturday between the Bemidji and Cass Lake High school elevens resulted in a tie, after one of the most stubborn contests ever witnessed on a gridiron in this part of the state. The Bemidji team and a num- ber of the supporters of the eleyen went to Cass Lake on the noon train, Saturday, The game was called at 3:30, at the baseball park.

BERRY'S BODY WILL BE Two Duluth Men and Mr. Otto Catch | Relatives of Man Found in Lake Satur- Eight.—Largest Four and a Half Pounds. The largest black bass shown in Bemidji this, year brought to the city Sunday after- noon by Lieutenant O. H. Dockery and E. H. Smith ¢f Duluth and ex Sergeant Adam Otto, a local mail carrier, The party went out to Little Bass lake, about five miles north- east of Bemidji, at an early hour Sunday morning. They were not successful, numerically, in their fishing, but what they did get were of the best. They caught eight black bass, the largest of which weighed five and one-half pounds, and the smallest three pounds. The bass were fat and 1 good con- dition, and were admired by many who saw them in the even- ing at the Markham hotel. The fishermen state that the bass were not very gamy, being on the bottom of the lake, and sulky but not game—they came out like logs. There has been good bass fishing in both Big and Little Bass lakes all summer, and apparently the fish have not yeb been cured of their desire to “nibble,” despite the lateness of the season. speea, The requirements of the new rules seemcd to bother thej Remidji players more than Cass Lake, and under the old rules of: Messrs.

The only response came from a brother, residing in Marion, Ohio, and was very brief: “Bury there.” Evidently the dead man did not have much claim on his “folks.” It has been decided to bury his body in the potter’s field, and interment will be made tomorrow. There are circumstances sur- rounding the death and finding of the body that may develop into something of a sensation, and perhaps the surmises will amount to naught. More will be known by tomorrow. How Bees Gather Iloney. A bee gathers honey by the aid of its “trunk,” “lower lip” or “tongue,” which is used as an instrument for ex- tracting the nectar from flowers. The “tongue” of a bee is not, as was once thought to be the case, a tube through ‘which the juice is sucked, but is built more after the fashion of a fine broom. ‘With this broom the bee brushes or laps the honey or honey material from the flowers, leaves, etc., and passes it down a groove In the upper surface of the tongue to the mouth proper. From that point the juice is conveyed through a minute orifice into the “first stomach,” vulgarly called the “honey bag.” The honey bag is a real chem- ical laboratory, where by some myste- rious process which has not_ yet been explained” by science the juices are eonverted into pure honey. When the | chemical process of transforming the nectar into viscid honey has been com- pleted the bee disgorges it into one of the cells made for the purpose of a re- (ceptncle. For years the microscopists and the entomologists have been study- ‘ng the bee’s laboratory, but its work- mgs are at present among the unex- plained mysteries. In Trade.

The Crookston Lumber com- pany has rented the first floor of the Masonic block and will use the same as a library and club room for the young men who are employes of the mill and who have no place where they can pass several hours of an evening in comfortable quarters. The company will install a fine lot of furniture and fixtures, and will keep on file a large number of the leading magazines and daily and weekly newspapers. The room will be placed in charge of a responsible party and access may be had at any time, Ths move is certainly a com- mendable one, as 1t will afford a place for those who are so in- cliced to read good literature. ‘Welghing Common Alr, The weight of air has often been tested by compressing it in receptacles by the air pump. That It really has weight when so compressed is shown by the fact that the weight of the ves- sels s increased slightly by filling them with compressed air and that such vessels become specifically “light- er’ as soon as the air contained in them is exhausted. Many elaborate experiments on the weight of air have proved that the cubic foot weighs 536 grains, or something léss than one and a quarter ounces. The above experi- ment on the weight of air is supposed to be made at the surface of the earth with the temperature at 50 degrees F. Heated air or air at high elevations is much lighter.

A petition was filed with the board of county commissioners to order an election to vote on the question of organization into a village, and the petition has been granted, There are nearly 300 actual residents on the townsite to be embraced in the village, many more than the required number for legal organization, and there are more coming to the place daily. The proposition of Sam Simp- son for the purchase of the pine on the townsite, with the proviso that the timber be manu factured in Bena, was accepted, Simpson paying $4,000 for the standing trees. He also made another proposition, offering $5,000 for the timber, to be dis posed of as he saw fit. Simpson sold the timber to George Coch- ran, formerly of Chippewa Falls, who has a contract te cut timber on the ceded Chippewa reserva- tion for the J. Neils Lumber com- pany. Cocbran agreed to the sawmwill proposition and will pur- |chase one of two mill plants on lwhich he has an option and move lit to this place. One of the plants has a capacity of 20,000 feet per day, the other 25,000 feet. Coch- ran will have the mill on the iground and ready for sawing limber early next-spring, and it will be erected on Lake Winni- bigoshish, . Sixty lots have been sold since the allowance of the townsite by the government, a month ago, and several business houses are vow in course of construction. |W. J.

TEN CENTS PER WEEK STOLE THE FARMER'S TEAM 1S THE CHARGE Michael Castell Sought by Sheriff of Polk County.—Thought to Be in Blackduck. STARTED FOR NEIGHBORS WITH BOSS’ TEAM; DIDN'T RETURN Traced to Crookston, Where One Horse Had Been Sold to Liveryman, Cheap. L. J. Gonyea of Crookston, deputy sheriff of Polk county, is in the city voday, on the trail of Michael Castell, who is wanted on a charge of horse stealing. Castell is alleged to have stolen ateam belonging to a farmer named August Leistkeig, who lives in Keystone township, about fifteen miles northwest of Crookston. He had been work- ing but a day for Leistkeig, and was sent with a team to a neigh- boring farm house. He failed to put in appearance at the neigh- bor’s and could not be found in the community, Complaint was made to the sheriff and Castell was traced to Crookston, where evidence lead- ing to the belief that he traded one of the horses to a liveryman and received $15 in cash, was found. The other horse was also Iccated in Crookston. Castell had two accomplices, who assisted bim in the alleged trading of the team. He was traced going out of Crookston east, and had asserted before Castell i ia Blackduck or near there and is confident that he will secure his man within the next twenty-four hours. Castell is described as being five fcet, eleven inches tall, weight, 190 pounds, has scar under right eye; is of dark com- plexion, has large, full, smooth- shaven face, and is 36 years old, wors a slouch black hat and black corduroy coat when last seen. There is a standing reward of $200 (offered by the state) for the apprehension of any horse thief, which will be an incentive to the capture of Castell by “lay™ people as well as officers. * Trask-Gustafson. A pretty wedding took place last Friday at the Baptist church, when Rev. Thomas Broomfield untied in marriage Emil Gustaf- son of this city and Miss Callie Trask, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. A.
