~ Elks™ State Convention u - _THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER. Benid 18, 19 VOLUME 6. NUMBER 34. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 28, 1908. FIRST ANNUAL MILITARY BALL WAS GRAND SUCCESS One Hundred Couple Were in Attendance, and the Arrange- ments Were of the Best.—The Hall Was Decorated With the NationzI Colors. The first annual ball given in the city hall last night under the aus- pices of Company K, Bemidji’s new militia company, was one of the most successfull affairs, both from a social and financial standpoint, that was ever given in this city. The ball was under the direct management of the non-commission- ed officers of the company, and the different committees left nothing un- done that could possibly augment the success of the ball, The decoration committee prefom- ed their work in a very thorough manner, the national colors of red, white and blue being carried out in anelaborate manner. At different points in the hall there were guns crossed, and there was an arrray of i pictures and other patrioctic “stuff” that made one swell with pride. There was a fine camp scene on the stage. At the beginning of the dance the orchestra played the “Star Spangled Banner,” being revalle, and a salute was fired as the American flag was raised. At the close of the dance the “Star Spangled Banner” was again played and the “‘retreat” was had. There was every attention given to those who participated in the dance, a guard being on duty all night. Punch was served at two differant points in the room. The “soldier boys” are to be con- gratulated on their splendid arrange- ments and the precision with which everything was carried out. HOT BASEBALL GAME ON; PRINTS V3. BARTENDERS It “Growler” Allen Plays, We'll Lick the Stuffin’ Qut of the “Mixers.” Woe are we. In an unguarded moment, the writer hereof agreed to play ball with the printers’ team against the gentlemen who stand behind the mahogany in this city and mix re- freshments for a thirsty public. And now, we are qreuested to pitch? 'Way back in the early 80’s, we played ball with Frank Lycan, in Grand Forks, and pitched some; but since that time they have put so many frills on the horsehide that we are struck dumb by the girations that ball takes when it comes toward the plate; can’t for the life of us see how any sane man cen hit ’er. Hence, we presume, we are a ' has- been.” However, we digress. game. We are going to pitch that game of ball Sunday, if we don’t work for a week after- wards. Don’t care a rap if they “hit ‘er out a mile.” Can’t bluff us out. We'll be there with some wind- ers that will keep those “bar humps’” dizzy. However, we pin our “Growler” Allen. Many moons ago, the “Growler” was the champion barefoot sprinter We are faith to of Jackson county, this state. And he also enjoyed the reputation of being the hardest-hitting ball player in the southern part of the state. It is related of “Colonel” Allen that, one Fourth of July, when the bases were full, he smote the first ball pitched a fearful swat. The ball went like a shot from gun, direct to the center field fence. The spheroid hit one of the posts, rebouneded to the bleachers and tore down a sec- tion of the grandstand, three people incurring fractured limbs as a result of the falling timber, That ball was never recovered; but the “Growler” tore around the bags for a “hime leif,” and the game was won for Jackson. Hence are we perfectly safe. We are holding out inducements to the “Growler” to play first base and bring along that 7-foot club which he still has among his war relics. If the “ Colonel” ever gets a swat at that ball there’ll be no more game. He’ll lace ’er out to the city limits. Come on, you lemon-colored red- headed followeres of “Andy” Mc- Nabb., If Colonel Allen plays in that game, we’ll bet you a round of lemonade we “skin” you. Planing at Reasonable Prices. Any desiring planing done, should apply to the Bemidji Handle Factory, where satisfaction is guaranteed, and where prices are reasonable. Give us a trial. Bemidji Handle Com- pany.

Owing to the expressed wish of the Bemidji G. A. R. post that there be no sports in this city while the memorial exercises were being con- ducted on Memorial day, the Bemidji ball team will not play in this city May 30th, but will go to another town for two games, one to be played Saturday, the other Sunday. The Bemidji team will go to Cole- raine, where they will play Memorial day. Koch, who has been in the city for several days, waiting for a try-out with the locals, will be taken to Coleraine and placed on the firing line for Bemidji in Saturday’s game against the strong Coleraine bunch. Koch claims to have played with the Fargo team of the Northern league, and also with prominent teams in New York, On Sunday, Bemidji will play against Bovey at Bovey. It is more than likely that Baumgartner will pitch Sunday’s game for Bemidji. Roy, the old reliable back-stop for Bemidji will catch both games. Brinkman Family Theater. The Brinkman Family Theater was crowded last evening at the first performance, there being more people on hand to see the show than the room would hold. “Jolly Zebb,” the happy tramp, appeared at his best in the comic role and entertained the crowd from the start. Marie Stuart Dodd, the violinist, charmed the audience with her play-- B.F. BOYD IS ARRESTED; PAY FINE, OR BE JAILED Boyd Was Convicted of Having Shot a Cow Moose While Hunting Near Northome. B. F. Boyd, a resident of Brainerd who was, in 1905, convicted of hav- ing killed a cow moose and sen- tenced to pay a fine of $50 and costs, has been taken into custody at Brain- erd by Deputy Sheriff Fish of Grand Rapids, and will be compelled to either pay the $50 and costs, in all amounting to $175, or serve a term of sixty days in the county jail of Itasca county. Boyd hunted during the fall of 1905 in the vicinity of Northome, acting as guide to several hunting parties. He was later arrested, charged with having killed a cow moose, and his trial was held in Grand Rapids in December, 1905. The case was a hard fought one but the proof was overwhelmingly against Boyd and the Grand Rapids jury did a rare thing in a game case, brought in a verdict of guilty against Boyd. Boyd was sentenced to pay a fine of $50 and cosis, (about $175) or to serve a sentence of sixty days in the county jail. Boyd did considerable quibbling ing. She has appeared in Bemidji before and the recommendations she received from her playing at that time makes her even more popular than then. For your evenings entertainment take your family to the Brinkman Family Theater. Notice to Ministers. The pastors of the various church- es of the city are requested to hand in their church notices for Sunday services NOT LATER THAN FRI- DAY NOON, as the Pioneer will positively accept no copy for Satur- day’s paper later than that time. Saturday’s paper will contain princi- in connection with paying the fine and a committment wasfinally issued. For some reason Boyd has been allowed to enjoy his liberty, being most of the time at Brainerd, instead of paying his fine or serving sixty days in jail. g While E. E. McDonald of this city was trying a case at Brainerd for the State Game & Fish Com- mission last week, he found that Boyd had been drawn to serve on the jury at the term of district court at Brainerd. Mr. McDonald at once wired the authorities at Grand Rapids, and after considerable delay, Deputy Sheriff Fish was sent to take Boyd pally memorial matter, with no matter of local importance, Local news on last page into custody. Just what disposition will be made of the Boyd case is not known at the present time. Card of Thanks.

OPEN SEASON midji, and Fishing Will The open season for bass fishing in Minnesota begins on May 29, and grey, black and Oswego bass may be lawfully caught with a hook and line on that date and thereafter. The law relative to catching black, grey and oswego bass differs mater- ially from that which regulates other fish, in that they *cannot be sold, neither can they be shipped to any point. There are many splendid bass lakes in northern Minnesota, and especially in the immediate vicinity of Bemidji. Two of the best bass lakes among the many bodies of water noted for fish hereabouts are Big and Little Bass lakes, which are located six miles northeast of the city.L Big Bass lake is alongside the M. & I. railway and one mile east of the north end of Lake Bemidji. Little Bass lake is a short distance of Big Bass lake. These two lakes are inhabited by the finest big-mouth bass to be found in the north half of the state, and in past years, many fine catches have been taken from these two lakes.

The new telephone system which is being installed from the city of Bemidji to the “Jester Farm” at Lake Plantagnet will be completed and ready for operation by Saturday night, according to A. H. Jester, president of the newly-organized company which is putting in the line. A company of local people, assist- ed by some outside capital, was recently organized for the purpose of placing a phone line from Bemidji to Lake Plantagnet for the convenience ‘of those living at the Jester farm and other intermediate points, and the company at once ordered the neces- Local news on last page sary paraphernalia, including poles, FORTY CENTS PER MONTH FOR BASS FISHING BEGINS FRIDAY There Are Many Good Bass Lakes in the Vicinity of Bo-i Undo‘ubtedly Be Good.— Unlawful to Sell Bass. = FERTE R Bemidji, is another lake which- i noted for its fine bass. Among the other lakes where bass fishing is good are the following: A lake, the name of which is unknown, near Nebish, which was discovered last summer and which is fast gaining a great reputation as a bass lake. Twin lakes, southeast of Tenstrike. About twenty miles south of Bemidji are Lake George and a number of smaller lakes where bass fishing is most excellent. Several parties have already been organized to start from this city early Friday morning and it is expected that many fine bass will be brought back by the anglers. No bass can be caught less than six inches in length, and no bass can be lawfully caught otherwise than with a hook and line held in the hand or attached to a pole held in the hand. Not more than twenty-five bass can be caught by any one fisherman in a single day. Netting or spearing bass or any other fish or catching with set line or tip-ups, is strictly forbidden, according to the state game and fish law, as is also the use of dynamite or fishberry. —_— _— wires, etc., and began the “planting” of the poles. : The stringing of the wires and the setting of the poles will be entirely completed Saturday, and all that remains to be done for starting the use of the system is for C. A. Bang, manager of the local exchange of the Northwestern Telephone Exchange company, to connect the lines with the Bemidji exchange, when the farmers along the route can talk to Bemidji and other points in the out- side world. The new line will be a great con- venience for those living south of Bemidji. Rooms Wanted. All available rooms in the city' will be needed for entertaining the Elks Juae 18-19-20.
