THE BEMIDJI DAI Y PION _ MINNESOTA HISTORICAL i: B8 a4 LV VOLUME 5. NUMBER 267. BEMIDJI; MINNESOTA, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 29, 1908. "R MONTH FORTY CENTS Pk. FAST PACER ADDED TO THE STRING OF BEMIDJI NAGS William Begsley Becomes Owner of “‘Prince Hal,” Record 2:06 3-4.---Will Get Pacer’s 0ld Driver and Enter Horse in Canadian Races. Bemidji can boast of having within her portals a string of harness horses with records that would compare favorably with that of any other city of her size in the state. The horsemen of this city are determined to own the very best “nags” which money can buyand| recent purchases indicate the high breeding of the animals. The latest purchase is that made by William Begsley, who has added Prince Hal to his stable. Mr. Begs- ley bought Prince Hal from A. F. Williams of Cornell, New York, while he was visiting in New York last month. Prince Hal is one of the fastest and most consistent performers on the grand circuit, having won many races du.ing the past three years in the principal meets in the country. Prince Hal has a record of 2:06%, which was made in a race against other horses, and he has made an exhibition mile in 2:03}4. Last fall at Lexington, Ky., he negotiated a mile on a half-mile track there in 2:07 flat. Mr. Begsley has Prince Hal well- housed for the winter, and the splendid adimal hasa private stall in the local stable. It is the intention of Mr. Begsley to secure the services of Lou Minto, the old driver of Prince Hal, who was trainer for W. L. Snow of Cor- nell, New York. The horse will be entered in several $1,000 purses through northwestern Canada and will also be raced ina free-for-all $3,000 purse at Winnipeg next July. Besides Prince Hal, some very fast horses are owned by local horse- | men, among them is Isinesta, the beautiful mare belonging to J. W. Iriwn. His mare started last year as a green pacer, and made a record of 2:19%, under a very strong pull. She has went a mile in 2:07, and it is predicted that before next year ends her record will be close to the 2-minute mark, The following horses owned in this city. Bessie Barolight, record 2:22, owned by Thomas Newby; General Blackford, 2:22%, Dr. J. Waringer; Bemidji Belle, 2.27)%, William Begs- ley; Minnie Wood, 2:27, W. T. Blakeley; King Banecia, 2:29, William Robbinson; Ida G. 2:30, Ole Anderson; Flora Medalla by General Blackford, owned by Thomas Newby, Jennie Blackford by General Blackford, owned by Frank Gannon, and the fast little filly owned by James Fullerton. are also DOINGS IN THE VARIOUS GHURGHES OF THE GITY Hours of Worship and Subjects of.Ser- mons to Be Delivered in the City Tomorrow.

The concert given last evening at| the city opera house under the auspices of the Bemidji band and orchestra was by far the most suc- cessful of the indoor musical events given by these organizations during the present winter. The program was nicely arranged and varied enough to be very inter- esting, the numbers following each other in good shape. The march “Admiral Evans,” which was composed by Professor Symington, was very well received by the audience and showed that the professor has much ability as composer. The dance given at the conclu- sion of the concert was well at- tended, and about thirty couple en- joyed the ball until a late hour. The following was the program rendered at the concert: ORCHESTRA. March—"“The Polet” .... Selections from Opera—'‘Wang” Potonmse— Infatuation” ...............

Sweeley E Mrres |} BODY OF MURDERER AND SUIGIDE BROUGHT HERE Funeral of Laura Fleischman, Jahnke’s Victim, to Be Held at Preshyterian Church Tomorrow. The body of J. O. Jahnke, who killed Laura Fleischman at Ten- strike, and then put a bullet in his own brain and ended his life, was brought down this morning from Tenstrike and is lying at Lahr’s undertaking rooms. There is a bullet hole in the.center of Jahnke’s forehead, showing the desperate determination of the love- crazed man to end his existence. Otherwise, the body shows no injuries. Jahnke had a brother who was living at Langdon, N. D. A tele- gram was sent to Langdon, making inquiry from_the brother as to what disposition to make of the body. The telegraph operator at Langdon answered.in reply that the brother had left Langdon and was at Wabasha, Minn. Word was sent to the latter place, but so far no answer has been received. The body will be held here awaiting word from relatives, and if nothing is learned by the first of next week, the remains will be buried here. It is stated that Jahnke was in Bemidji about a week ago, and that he was accompanied by Laura Fleischman (the girl whom he killed) and a younger sister. When the three went home to Tenstrike on the train, the influence of liquor, so much so that he bothered the girls and the brakeman on the train took him into another car, away from them, that they might be freed from his unwelcome attention..... . Jahnke had been drinking con- siderably of late, which is believed to have caused temporary derange- ment of his mental faculties and caused him to form the desperate Jahnke was under! resolution of murder and suicide,(BEM"”I WH_L ENTER A which' he exactness. carried out with fatal The body of Laura Fleischman will be brought to Bemidji tomorrow afternoon and 'the funeral scrvices will be held at the Presbyterian church, Rev.

A new picturesque, romantic comedy drama has been made from the famous story of the. “Hidden Hand,” and will be seen at the City Opera House, Feb. 29. The announcement should arouse more than ordinary interest among patrons of the best classof plays, or people who like melodramas of the genuine kind, for all accounts agree that the author in this in- stance, a well known actor, has isucceeded in adding to the stock of| worthy American plays. Mrs. South- worth’s story of the mountainfolk of old Virginia will be seen in four picturesque acts full of life, incident, real characters. humor, superstition and romance. he author has avoided the extremely sensational, but has retained the full charm and power of the story.

DON'T NEGLEGT THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SAVE MONEY BemidjGash ShoesStore NO PROSPECT OF ST. PAUL NIGHT TRAIN AT PRESENT “Minnesota & International Official Says Business Will Not Warrant New Traia,” Says St. Paul Pioneer - Press.---May Come Later, However. The St. Paul Pioneer Press of yes- terday contained the following article concerning the possible installing of a night train on the M. &. I. and N. P. railways from International Falls to the twin cities: “It appears improbable from the statement of a prominent official of the Minnesota & International rail- way who was in St. Paul yesterday that night train service will be established between International Falls and St. Paul on that line in the near future. It is the plan, however, to offer night service to St. Paul from the north at some future dafe, but that will be regulated largely by the volume of passenger busines which the road is called upon to handle. " “Some time ago there was a con- certed effort on the part of the com- mercial and industrial bodies along the Minnesota & International to persuade the officials of the line to opperate a night passeuger train which would arrive in St. Paul in the morning. Letters, committees and commercial club officials im-| portuned the officers of the line to give them the train. It was pointed out that people living on the Minne- nesota & International are com- pelled to spend an entire’ day in reaching St. Paul, and then to spend the night here before transacting business. The night train would per- mit them to leave their homes in the evening and arrive in St. Paul in the morning at the opening of business hours B “It was said vesterday that it is out of the question to consider such a proposition at present- Passenger traffic on the day train is notso heavy that an additional service is needed. A night train, the official stated, would not receive suffcient patronage, for the present at least, to warrant its operation. Ultimately, however, a night train will be placed in operation if plans do not mis- carry.” While it may be true that the train will not be installed at the present time, we believe that the train will be eventually installed, owing to the universal demand that will be made for the service. That the trains on the M. & 1. are over-crowded, especi- ally on the trips north from this city, most of the time, is a fact too well known to be stated at any length. For a large portion of the time dur- ling the late fall and the early' winter standing room was at a premium on M. & I north-bound passenger trains. —_— STATE GAME WARDENS MEET NEXT TUESDAY Employes of Ganre and Fish Commis- sion Will Read Papers and Com- pare Notes. A meeting of the wardens who are in the employ of the Minnesota State Game and Fish commission will be held in the old capitol build- ing at St. Paul, next Tuesday. The meeting was called for the purpose of consulting and reading papers and discussing the methods of enforcing the game and fish laws, and also for the purpose of the war- dens getting_acquainted with one another and planning for bette | work in the future. The following is the program of the papers that will be read at the meeting: “Public Sentiment, its Relation to Game and Fish Protection—How Protected”—Edward Indrehus, Ron- neby “The Food Fishes of Lake Super- B ior and their Protection”—].

Many fishermen, who are in the % | habit of fishing on Lake Bemidji and using fish houses, have regarding the provisions inquired of the = | zame law as to catching fish with a K [ hook and line. There appears to be a misunderstanding among them jl | s to the requirements of the law in that respect. {lished Anyone is permitted to catch any variety of fish with a hook and line (except during the closed season of March and April) previded that the hook and line are held in the hand or attached to a pole held in the hand. This fishing' may be done through the ice or in the open. However, no set lines, tip-ups or other contrivances other than a hook and line held in the hand are per- mitted under the law. Any fish so caught, with the ex- ception of bass and trout, may be sold. However, a fish house can- not be used for hook and line fishing unless the fisherman has a license therefor, and none of the fish taken by using fish houses can be sold. Rural Mail Service Begins Monday. Mail service will be established next Monday along the new rural route which was recently estab- of Bemidji for the accomodation of settlers there. north living Recently competative civil service examinations were held in this city for the purpose of awarding the coatract to carry the mail -along the route. As no returns have been received from the examination, a temporary carrier will be appointed by the local postoffice authori- ties. Patrons along this mail route are requested to at once put up their mail boxes, if they have not already done so, as mail cannot be left anywhere except in the mail boxes. Mrs. D. W. Carter Dead.
