14 HALF MILE TRACK TO BE BUILT ON LAKE BEMIDII Local Horsemen to Build Track to Diamond Point.--Horses With Good Records to Race. Local "horsemen are building a half mile ice race-track on the shore of Lake Bemidji adjoining the city. For time past, Bemidji owners of fast steppers have been having sundry disputes of the pos- sible merits of their “goers” on the ice, and there has been con- siderable talk favorable to building a track on the ice and hold mati- some nees. Thomas Newby, William Begsley, K. Mclver and several others have taken the matter in hand, with the result that the track will immedi- ately be put into condition for speeding. The course will be from Dia- mond Point to the city dock and will be a double track,one side being used for the horses to return to the starting point without interferring with those coming down the stretch. There are at present owned in the city, several horses with very good records, among them being the following: Bessie Barolight, record 2:22, owned by Thomas Newby; General Blackford, 2:22%, Dr. J. Waringer; Bemidji Belle, 2:27 Y2, William Begs- ley; Minnie Wood, 2:27, W. T. Blakeley; King-Banecia, 2:29, Wil- liam Robinson; Ida G. 2:30, Ole Anderson; Flora Medalla by General Blackford,owned by Thomas Newby; Jennie Blackford by General Black- ford, owned by Frank Gannon and the fast little Filly owned by James Fullerton. It is the intention of the pro- motors of the race track to give some good half mile races during the winter and as there are some very fast horses owned here, there will undoubtedly be some rare sport for those who like horse racing. Remains Brought to Bemidji. | Deputy Coroner J. P. Labr re- turned this morning from Kelliher | where he was called to view the remains of Ole Aspin, the man who was killed by ' the early morning train at that place Saturday morn- ing. Mr. Aspin was a man about forty-five years of age and hasa wife and family living in Minnea- polis. Word has been sent to them at Minneapolis and the remains will be held for a reasonable time or until they can be heard from. Deputy coroner Lahr decided that an inquest was not necessary. New Years Ball. The volunteer fire department will give a New Year’s ball at the city hall Wednesday evening. Music will be furnished by the Bemidji orchestra. A good time promised. Tickets $1.00. 1908 diaries at the Pioneer office. MUNGH AND GARPENTER MAY SKATE AT BEMIDJI Backers of Each Want Championship Decided.---Manager Snow Offers ! Bemidji Rink. | There is a possibility of inducing Harry Carpenter of Crookton, who receuw.y skated 1n this city, and Joe Munch of Miuneapolis, who are at| present in a “merry row” over their respective abilities as rapid skaters, to skate a race in the Bemidji roller rink to settle the speed skating champianship of the northwest. ~ Munch and Carpenter have been doing considerable talking through the newspapers at Crookston and at the present time Carpenter appears to have a little the better of the argument. Itis said his backers had put up $100, which Munch dare | not _cover. On the other hand, Munch’s friends claim that it will be impossible for him to get a square | deal at Crookston and that he is willing to cover Carpenter’s money to skate any other place designated except Crookston. Chester, Snow, manager of the Bemidji rink, authorizes the state. {ment that he is willing to give a reasonable percentage of the receipts to the skaters, to be divided as they see fit, for a series of races on the local rink to decide the champion- ship of the northwest and also the owning of the money, which, it i§ — alleged, is being ithrown 3¥ounr[ promiscuously in the Queen City by the backers of Carpedter on one hand and Munch on the other. Bemidji is neutral ground «for the two skaters and Bemidji citizens have no choice as to the winner; they simply want to see a good square deal, the best man winning, and are willing to pay for the privilege of seeing such a centest. Committed to the Asylum, Thomas Stanton, a laborer in the Joe Ervine lumbering camp near Blackduck, was brought down yes- terday morning by the Blackduck police, charged with insanity. He was taken before Judge Clark and the insanity board yesterday fore- noon and after a thorough examina- tion adjudged insane. He was taken to Fergus Falls yesterday by Sheriff Thomas Bailey. Mr. Stanton is an Englishman 58 years of age, is single, and has an honorable discharge from the U. S. army where he has served seven years. : His trouble seems to have. origin- ated from injuries sustained some years ago when he was. running an| engine at Bluffton, Minn., and fell from a ladder striking his head on the brick floor of the engine room. He is set upon committing suicide and has attempted to end his earthly | career in various ways. Ciub Dance. The Young People’s Club will give a party in the City Hall Tuesday night. December 31st.

A p, Anderson,-the president and géneral manager of the Itasca Park Region Nursery company, has re- turned from a business trip to points in North Dakota, where he received a nice ‘“bunch” of orders for nursery stock, while over in the “Flickertail”” state.

The Itasca Park Region Nursery is one of the principal enterprises of this city, and will develop into one of the largest industries of the kind in this part of the state; and the success of the company is due’ in a very large measure, to the enter- prise and ability of Mr. Anderson, of | ' Post Office Closed Tomorrow.
