The “Big Bemidji” basketball team will play two games against the Crookston basketball team on next Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon. These games are on the regular schedule which the local team has formed for its contests to determine the championship of northern Min- nesota. It is expected that both games will be very warmly contested as Bemidji has shown that it has some remarkably fast players and the Crookston team is possibly the fastest five in the city. Last year Bemidji won two games from a Crookston team, in one of which it left the visitors without a score. The locals have strong hopes of taking both of the coming games and to that end will put their very best line-up in the field, as follows: “Big Bemidji”: H. Geil and J. Markham, forwards; L. Heffron, center; W. Collins and G. Peterson, guards; F. Brown, substitute. Crookston team: Wattan and Lonen, forwards; Carlson, center; McLauglin and RBeaudin, guards; Moulten, substitute; Edson Jerome, manager. Returns to Bemidiji. Word was received from Prof. Thomas Symington yesterday morn- ing to the efiect that he and Mrs. Symington would leave Pontiac, Mich., this morning for Bemidji and will probably arrive in this city to- morrow evening. As to Mrs. Sym- ington’s health Mr. Symington stated that_it was but a matter of time, and that Mrs.Symington would spend her remaining days 1n this city instead of in Michigan as they had expected to do. Mr. Syming- ton expressed his desire to give his usual band concert this month although the time would be short for rehearsals on account of his being away trying to affect a cure for his wife’s ailments, in which effort he had been disappointed.

The Bemidji Steam Laundry, which has been closed for the past three weeks, undergoing necessary repairs necessitated by the damage done by the recent fire there, will be opened tomorrow morning.

Squiers’ Irish Terror Shows Intense Loyalty to His Favorite National Color Green. W. H. Squier of Blackduck, better known as “Billy,” is a great admirer of dogs, and he has often asserted that the intelligence of the average canine surpasseth all understand- ing. “Billy” owns two Irish terriers, which he brought with him when he returned from his recent trip to the “ould sod.” The oldest dog is named “Pat,” and he is Irish, clean through. He is of Catholic faith and his adherence to the creed is as stead- fast as his stick-to-it-iveness to the land of his birth. As proof of this, Mr. Squier re- cites an instance of a few days ago. Drs. Osborn and Monahan, who have offices in Blackduck, recently painted their floor, and in the course of events, Mr. Squier, closely fol- lowed by his two canine proteges, started to enter the new office. One of the dogs got in all right, but absolutely refused to budge. “Billy” said noting, but he took Pat down- stairs and returned alone later. When questioned by the doctors as to why the dog would not enter the room, Mr. Squier pointed dra- matically to the floor and queried: “Did you notice the color of that paint?” Investigation showed that the floor had been painted a bright orange yellow, and Pat would have nothing to do with anything that was opposed to his religious prin- cipals. Petrie Leases City Restaurant. Roy Petrie of Park Rapids, son of Daniel Petrie, sheriff of Hubbard county, has leased the City Restaur- ant from H. P. Burroughs and will hereafter have charge of the old stand and conduct it as a first-class restaurant and hotel.
