PIGK-UPS BEAT FIREMEN FIVE IN BASKETBALL GAME First Game of Kind Ever Seen in City, Last Night---Score 27 to 18. The first basketball game ever seen in Bemidji was played at the city hall last evening, when the tire department tive played against a team selected from players who are not members of the department. The game brought out a fair crowd, most of whom were ladies, and they were repaid in secing a very fast contest that aroused great enthusiasm. It was agreed to play two halves, the first of twenty-five minutes and the last for twenty- five minutes, and the teams lined up as follows for the first Luisey, €apt. 1.

The funeral of Fred C. Carlson was held at the home of John Patterson yesterday afternoon at 2 o’clock and the body was in- terred in Greenwood cemetery at the conclusion of the’services, The services were in charge of Rev. White and a choir rendered several beautiful vocal selections The house was comforta’ ly filled, among those in attendance being the members of the Bemidji band, who were present to pay their respects to a departed fel- low musician. When several passages of scripture had been read and a brief address made by the offi- ciating clergyman, those present were allowed to view the re- mains. On the bier were several fine floral offerings. One was from the members of the Carlson Referce tier ciiee oAl KL Southworth As soon as the referee’s whistle announced the beginning of the match there was a warm scramble between the players and the game was a very fast one from start to finish. Col- lins, for the “pick-ups,” threw a basket in a very few moments after play commenced, and Gar- family and was in the shape of a clock. Another was a beautiful wreath of white, across which, in purple, was the word “Pioneer,” which wasgiven by the employes of the Daily Pioneer. A third symbolic offering was a beautiful harp made of flowers, presented by the members of the band. net Peterson followed with an- other for the same team. Lee Heffron threw the first basket for the firemen. Collins followed with two baskets in rapid suec- cession, and the men on the pick- up team appeared to be too strong for the fire-boys. Harry Geil put the ball in the basket for the firemen, and Collins and Luisey followed him with one each. The mix-ups were fre- quent and the game was hard fought at all times. A foul was allowed the firemen and Harry Geil missed the free throw at the basket. Heffron threw a basket a few moments after the line-up and Collins also put the ball in the basket. A foul was allowed the pick-ups and Collins threw a basket on the free throw. An- other foul was allowed, but Col- lins missed the basket. Harry Geil threw a basket, Barret also put the ball where it counted and Harry again put the ball in the basket, which ended the first half, The players had maintained a fast pace and it told on them. The pick-up team, which con- taiced at least three first-class old players, was too wmuch for the firemen, - In the sicond Lulf, the pick ups retaincd their same players. Swewart replaced Earl Geilas forward and Arthur Gould re- pluced Edward Gould as guard 1or the firc men. ‘I'he second haif was if any- thiog more fiercely contested than the first half and baskets were thrown by both sides with great rapidity. Several fouls were committed and the ball olien went out of bounds, but the players were good-natured in their contest for supremacy. When the referec’s whistle an- nounced the close of the game the score stood 27 to 18, in favor v’ the pick-ups. for the successful team, Col- lins played a very strong game and was sure of a basket when- ever in close proximity to the goal. Schumaker, Luisey and Garnet Peterson also did good work. For the fire-boys, Heffron and Harry Geil were the best, with Arnold doing fine work as guard. The rest of the boys are green at the game, and will undoubtedly improve greatly with more practice. Millinery Sale.

Carlisle arrived in the city last evening from Albuqur- que, New Mexico, wherw he has been for some time for the bene- it of his health. Mr. Carlisle has, for more than a year past, been a sufferer with a complica- tion of ailments that greatly weakened him, and caused his resigonation from active duties He went to the Pacific coast dur- ing the past summer in the hope thut he weuld be benefitted, but the relief he obtained was only of a temporary character. He worked for a few weeks, when he was again forced to resign and went to New Mexico, where it was thought the southern chmate would be beneficial. He failed to gain and a week ago sent word to friends here that he desired to return to Bemidji. His letter was responded to by the mem- bers of the Bemidji fire depart ment and he was seunt for, arriv- ing in the city last night, after a very fatiguing journey. It is believed that there is listle chance for his recovery, and a benefit ball has been ar- ranged, which - will be given under the auspices of the fire department, at the city hall, Wednesday evening of next week. 3 Funeral at Baptist Church.
