Harris of this city, who has acted as manager of the local ex- change of the Northwestern Tele- phone Exchange for the past three years, has severed his connection with the telephone company and has leased the Bemidji Steam Laundry for a term of five years, from the owner of the laundry, John Graham. Mr. Harris’ lease became effective today, and he touok possession of the laundry this morning, the deal for the lease having been closed last night. The work of repairing the interior of the laundry and renovating the premises is about completed,” and Mr. Harris will open the same for business next Tuesday morning, the plant having been closed since the recent fire, which damaged the laundry to a considerable extent. Mr. Graham has been repairing the damage done by the fire and replac- ing machinery, so that but a small amount of additional work is required to place the laundry in first-class condition. Mr. Harris will have the personal management of the laundry, and will have associated with him only the very best help procurable. He has engaged the services of J. W. Spaulding as washer. Mr. Spauld- ing has had many years experience in the Taundry business, and was in the employ of C. A. Albrant when that gentleman conducted the laun- dry. He is highly recommended by twin city laundrymen. Mr. Spauld- ing came to the city today and will at once “get busy” about the laun- dry. It is the intention of the new man- ager to do everything in his power to please the public,and with that end in view will work diligently to give sat- isfaction and will undoubtedly soon have the Bemedji Steam Laundry second to none in the northwest. Mr. Harris is one of the most favorably known young men in this city. He is a reliable business man and will assuredly do well in his new field. Now With Carpenter Lamb Company. J. A. McDonald left yesterday for Pequot and from that place will go to Gull lake to visit the logging camps of the Carpenter-Lamb Lum- ber company. Mr. McDonald, who has been. in the employ of Backus and Brooks for some time past, has severed his connection with that company, and has been engaged to work with A. A. Goodrich, the local representative of the Carpenter-Lamb company. That company is logging at Gull lake and hauling the logs twelve miles to Fitzpatrick lake, where the timber is being ba.nked for driving next spring. Wanted—The address of John Nute.

BASKETBALL TEAMS ARE BOTH DEFEATED High School Boys ‘lllll‘ Girls Lost to Fosston Students, at Fosston, Last Night. BOYS GAME RESULTED 20 T0 13; GIRLS GAME RESULTED 11 T0 4 Cass Lake High S‘u@anl Team Defeated the Walker High School, 12 to 4, Last Night. The expectations of the Bemidji high school girls &nd boys basket- ball teams to attain the chamion- ship of northern : Minnesota were given a very severe “jolt” last even- ing at Fosston, when the Fosston high school male and female teams defeated the Bemidji teams in two well contested games. | The Bemidji teams have been do- ing some very good work and it was supposed by most of their supporters that they would win both games at Fosston. However, the Fosston players showed much ability, team work be- ing their strong point. Both the games were strongly contested from the very start to the finish. The Fosston line-up was of the very best local material and Bemidji had the best in the loc-?l schools. The hall in which the game was played, was a very small affair, the | actual playing space, after the crowd had got in, being not over thirty feet in length. This greatly handi- capped the Bemidji players as they have been used to a large hall with plenty of room in which to play. The two contests showed that the Fosston team had been practicing very diligently and that they were very proficient in their play. = They displayed great team work and were cool ~ and collected in the most exciting parts of the game. The passing of the ball was espec- ially good, and in .fact they out- classed the Bemidji players. The following was the line-up: Bemidji Boys—Olaf Hondrum, center; Rollie Dwyer and Ralph Lycan, forwards; Helmer Kruse and Charley Gold, guards; Clarence Shannon, substitute. Bemidji Girls—Ethel Getchell, center; Eva Getchell and ' Selma Witting, forwards; Nellie Shannon and Inez Geil, guards; Hazel Wells, substitute. Fosston Boys—Walter Amber, center; Ingwold Jesness and Henry Rud, forwards; Oscar Jesness and Dwight Lohn, guards; Ray Swanson, substitute. Fosston Girls—Anna. Nelson, center;Effie Linderberg and Hannah Hatleli, forwards; Mabel Bostad and Nina Nelson, guards; Sarah Rue, substitute. The final score of the games re- sulted as follows: Boys game—20 to 13 in favor of Fosston. Girls game—11 to 4 in favor of Fosston. The Fosston boys were especially strong in ‘shooting from the field, and succeeded in throwing ten field baskets. However they did not secure one foul basket. For Bemidji Charley Gould played the star game, throwing seven bas- kets out of eight chances from the foul line. Lycan, Hondrum and Dwyer each made a field goal. For Fosston, Ruud threw five field goals, Amber four and Jesness one. For Fosston, Miss Hatleli threw four field goals, Miss Nelson one field goal and Miss Lindenberg one field goal. 4 -For the Bemidji girls Selma Witting threw one field throw and Eva Getchell made two foul throws. Lee Heffron refereed the boys’ game and Glen Taylor of the U. of N. D. umpired for both games. Miss Dora Hanson of Bemidji refereed the girls’ game. The officials gave unusual satisfaction, showing a thor- ough understanding of the game. Both the Fosston and Bemidji adherents showed great school enthusiasm and tevaltv. and the best of school relations were de- veloped as a result of the meet. As a result of the games Prof. Biddinger will immediately begin to put the local teams in strenuous practice in hopes of having them in better playing condition in the near future, when the two Fosston teams will be brought here for a return game, Cass Lake, Dec. 14.—(Special to Pioneer.)—The Cass Lake High School basketball team met and de- feated the Walker High School team last evening in the Cass Lake gym- nasium, the score being 12 to 4. The Cass Lake team outplayed the Walker team, from start to finish, the visiting team being unable to get a goal from the field during the whole game. Cummings, of the local team, deserves special mention, he throwing four out of the five field goals made during the whole game. Tromley, of the Walker team, also played a good game. The line up was as follows: Cass Lake—Geo. Gilbert, right forward; Frank Cummings, left for ward; E. F. Miskella, center; Warren Cain, right guard; Lucius Burns, left guard. Walker—Ben Oliver, right for- ward; Geo. Tromley, left forward: Malvin Peterson, .center; Robert Oliver, right guard; Jos. Lauzon, left guard. Field goals—Cummings 4, Mis- kella 1.

John Mooney, better known as “Whitey,” died very suddenly at about 11 o’clock last night, while sitting in a chair in F. M. Dudley’s saloon, on Minnesota avenue. Death resulted wholly from natural causes, and Coroner Marcam, who took charge of the body states that he will probably hold an autopsy in order to determine the exact cause of death. Mooney, woods as a who labored in the “lumberjack,” had been around Brainerd and Bemidji for several years past, and he had ac- quired all the habits of fraternity, National Guard By taking the necessary steps to secure suitable quarters, and keep- {ing the same in good condition, it lis probable that the city of Bemidji can secure a company of militia as a member of the Minnesota National Guard. : Deputy Postmaster Adam* Otto, ex-sergeant of the U.S. army ser- vice, assisted by several others in the city, have been quietly investi-| gating the matter, since a report was recently published that the | state would organize a new regiment of the National Guard which would | include eight new companies, from | as many cities in dlfierent parts of the state. The legislature of 1905-06 pro- vided for the organization of a new regiment of eight companies. Ad- jutant General Wood, who is in com- mand of the National Guards, states that these new companies have already been apportioned, but have not yet been fully assigned. It is known that General Wood is very favorably inclined toward Bemidji and that if the citizens take the proper steps, Bemidji' may be named as one of the successful cities A MILITIA COMPANY CAN. BE SECURED FOR BEMIDJI No Doubt that, With Concerted Effort and Complying With Certain Requirements, a Company of the Can Be Located. 5 fot a company of the new regiment. The principal requirement im- posed by the state is that the city furnish an armory for rhe use of the company, by either purchasing a building outright, or renting one. The state equips the fcompany with uniforms, arms and other parapher- nalia, the cost of -which is claimed to be approximately $6,600. In order that the equippment furnished by the state can be properly cared {for, the furnishing of the armory is one of the requirements of the company made by the state. Mr. Otto and others interested in | the formation of the company have been looking it up and they state that the skating rink can be secured for use of the “to-be” soldiers. It is more than likely that a proposition will be made to the city council at its meeting to be held on Monday night for the city to pro- vide for the rent of the rink at certain given times for the use of the company. The is no question but whata company of the state militia can be located here, if the proper require- ments are fulfilled. including the perodical indnlgence in strong drink, which usually lasts one of the boys until all finances are gone and their health is ina bad condition. Mooney came to Bemidji on the 7th inst., and was making his head- quarters at Dudley’s place. He drank very heavily, but was, a few days ago, induced to taper off, some- what. Last night, about 10:30, Mooney sat in a chair in the rear of the saloon, and it was noticed that he was “snoring quite heavily, in fact, attention was called to his audible slumbering, and later when he was approached it was found that he had ceased to breathe, and was dead. The coroner was notified and took charge of the body, placing in in Lahr’s undertaking rooms. Word has been sent to two cousins and their desires will be ascertained. before the body is disposed of.
