“BIG BEMIDG” TEAM HAD SPLENDID VICTORIOUS RECORD FOR SEASON “IG BEMIDG” FIRST TEAM. Biddinger, guard; Peterson, guard; Heffron, forward; Brown, center; Markham, forward; H. Geil, forward. The basketball season, as far as the Bemidji basketball team is con- cerned, has closed, and the ‘‘Big Bemidg” squad can view .with par- donable pride the excellent record made by that organization. That Bemidji had a strong (if not the very strongest) basketball five in the north half of the state, was shown by the easy manner in which the team disposed of all comers from Minnesota towns, with the exception of the Duluth Y. M. C. A. team. The one game played with the latter team resulted in a tie (17 to 17) despite the claim made by the supporters of the Duluth “bunch” that they won. The fact that Duluth refused to play after a tie had been declared, and would not play the succeeding night, is rather strong evidence that the gentlemen from the head of the lakes had astrong respect for the prowess of Bemidji. It has been impossible to arrange another game with Duluth, and the respective contentions of the two teams must remain as they are. However, those Fho, saw thergams Lellove thatihe game had one been played. The record of Bemidji is all the more creditable from the fact that the players were handicapped in getting sufficient practice, as the chaige made for the use of the skating rink was so much that the basketball boys could not afford to have the place but a few times out- side of when they played games. The team had many players who were anxious to make the five, and as a consequence men were often putin for a try-out. It was not until the season was half over that| six players formed the bunch from which the regular players for the big games were selected. These were Brown (captain), Heffron, Mark- ham, H. Geil, Biddinger and Peter- son. They are all home boys, liv- ing in Bemidji. The following table shows the games won and lost: Games played. . .11 Games won.. -7 Games lost . .3 Game tied... -1 Of the games lost, all three were taken by teams from outside the state of Minnesota. The Company oarn af Coammnt “eo gawcs, lgy small scores, and the independent team of Grand Forks, N.

Amadon & Co. Cut and Banked Large Quantity of Logs, Pulp- wood and Ties. L. Amadon & Co., who have been getting out a large quantity of logs, ties, and pulpwood in the vicinity of Mallard and the Itasca State park, have practically concluded their season’s work. Mr. Amadon, who was in the city today, states that during the past season he and his company banked 1,000,000 feet of logs, got out 2,000 cords of pulpwood and cut 43,000 ties. The timber was taken from along the Mississippi river from Lake Itasca to the mouth of Hennepin River, and also along the- Walker & Akeley railroad, which extends from Solway to Mallard, the work of getting out the logs, pulp wood and ties being performed by four- teen jobbers, who took sub-con- tracts from Mr. Amadon and his company. 4 Mr. Amadon states that the sea- son was a very successful one, and that his company will realize hand- somely on the work done the past year. Wes Wright Finishes Logging. Wes Wright returned this morning from his logging camps near Black: duck. Mr. Wright states that he will complete his logging the first of next week, probably Monday night, | when. he will have gotten through: with a fairly successful season of timber cutting.

WALSH 1S SENTENCED Former Chicago Banker Given| Five Years in Prison. SECURES STAY GF .HIIJ[:‘IMENTI | Aged Financier Again Released on $50,000 Bail Pending an Appeal From the Decision of Judge Ander- | son Denying a New Trial. Chicago, March 14—John R. Walsh, | former president of the Chicago Na- tional bank of this city and convicted of illegal use of the funds of that in- stitution, was denied a new trlal by Judge Anderson of the Ynited States ! district court and sentenced to serve five years in the federal penitentiary | at Fort Leavenworth. As soon as the court had announced his decision refusing to grant a new ; trial the attorneys for the defense en- tered a motion in arrest of judgment, on which they argued for some time. It was generally thought about the | courtroom that they would consume | two or more hours in giving their re. sons for the granting of this motion, but Attorney Hart, who presented it, | ceased speaking in about thirty min utes. Judge Anderson then promptly overruled the motion and sentenced | the banker to five years in Fort! Leavenworth, In sentencing Walsh Judge Ander—l son sald: “The character of the evidence and the character of the crime of which this defendant has been found guilty | call for extreme judgment. The facts | are, however, that this defendant is | seventy years of age and that mere imprisonment is of itself so heavy a punishment in a case of this kind I | have concluded that the law will be | satisfied with the minimum penalty, which is five years.” The court further directed that all the counts in the indictment be served | concurrently and further directed that the defendant pay the entire cost of | the trial. An application was imme- diately made to Judge Grosscup of the United States circuit court of ap- | peals for a supersedeas, which was granted, and’ Walsh was released un- der bonds of $50,000 pending the | hearing of his appeal.
