Amadon Brings in a Mississippi River Drive of Logs in Record- Breaking Time. A drive of three million logs has arrived at the inlet of Lake Irving, where the Mississippi river flows into the lake, being in charge of L. Amadon, who cut and banked logs last winter, near the Itasca State Park. This drive of logs was brought from Lake Itasca in exactly thirty days, which is a record-breaking feat in driving logs down the Mississippi river. Mr. Amadon states that all con- ditions were favorable, the water being high and there being noth- ing to impede the prograss of the drive. The logs which are in this drive were cut in the Itasca State Park and along the Mississippi river, this side of the park, being banked last winter on Lake Itasca and the Mississippi river. The entire drive of logs will be placed in boom at brought across Lake Irving, sluiced through® the Mississippi between Lake Irving and Lake Bemidji and finally boomed on the sontheast shore of Lake Bemidji to be cutin the local sawmill of the Bemidji Lumber company, which concern owns the logs.

McElroy, superintendent of the cemetery, he was- engaged in prepar- ing the grave for the burial of Paul Hagen, the East Grand Forks saloon man, who was killed by a railroad train Saturday night. “When he was unloading the rough box for the coffin the horse started to run away. He rushed to get the lines and fell across the doubletrees. The horse ran the wagon over a monument and Marsh was thrown off, He fell between the wagon and the monument and was crushed. A physician was summoned and gave it as his opinion that only a rib was broken. Marsh was taken to his rooming house. He grew worse rapidly and soon passed away. “The broken rib was located right near his heart and that organ was affected to such an sextent that death ensued. = “The deceased was a ‘resident of Grand Forks for many years. Six years ago he removed with his family to Bemidji, near which place he se- cured a farm. ' His wife and four children reside . there. His other daughter, Mrs T. O. McElroy, is located at Dupont Beach, Cal. “Coroner Rounsevell decided that no inquest was necessary in the case Mr. McElroy related how the acci- dent happened. “The funeral arrangements had not been completed last evening.

EMERSON 60T AII AWFUL POUNDING AT THIEF RIVER Nineteen Hits Were Secured Off ““Emmy” in Three Innings,— Hallet Did Well. Emerson, the Indian pitcher who twirlers three games for Bemidji at the beginning of the season, has evidently lost his cunning since last year. He did fair work here, but his form was not nearly up to his standard of a year ago, The southpaw slab artist “‘got his” at Thief River Falls Sunday, and the Crookston Journal says of the game: g “Thief River Falls is celebrating victory over the White Earth Indians last Sundav at Thief River Falls by the score of 11 to 6. The Thief River boys walked all over the Indians and pounded Emerson out of the box in the first three innings getting eleven runs before the cele- brated copper skinned southpaw found out where he was at. “The score at the end of the third inning was eleven to nothing in favor of Thief River Falls, Then the Thief River Falls sports had to suffer an operation and the Indians walked up and down over Lipps, the celebrated box agent imported from the wilds of Towa. All around the fans of both sides enjoyed the game, both its pleasures and disappoint- ments alternately. The Thief River Falls bunch however could not get another run after the first three in- nings. ““They secured nineteen hits off the renowned Emerson and the Indians took 12 away from Lipps. Batteries, Thief River Falls, Lippsand Bergen; Indians, Emerson, Hallet (who caught Emerson and pitched after Emerson retired in the seventy) and Weaver.” =~ Choked by Beefsteak. Dr. Henderson and Morrison per- formed an autopsy on the body of “Doc” Thompson,who died suddenly yesterday afternoon, after having choked violently while eating. The doctors found that a larze piece of beefsteak had lodged in Thompson’s windpipe and aesopho- gus, which was enough in itself to have caused death, but which was aggravated by a small tumor in the throat. Take Notice. Mrs. J. E. Lingren wishes to announce that she is connected with the “Bemidji Red Cross Associa- tion” in no capacity other. than that she is drill-master for the ladies. Parties entitled to membership into same should app'y to the officers. The initial work of erecting arches, putting up welcome signs and decorating ‘the streets of Be- midji for the Elks convention to be held here next week, was com- menced this morning when G. E. Kreatz, the local contractor, began getting together lumber for the arches and got men ready to begin the work of building. The executive committee having charge of the celebration had de- cided to erect two large single arches and one double arch. There will be one single arch at the cor- ner of Third street and Minnesota avenue; also a single arch at the dock, at the foot of Third street, and a large double arch at the corner of Third street and Beltrami avenue. The bases for the arches will be built of finished lumber, and will be eight feet high and painted white, The arches over the streets will be made so that bunting can be spread over them. Small electric lights will be stationed in the arches and they will be illuminated until a- late hour at night. The arches will be handsomely decorated with purple and white, the colors of the Elks’ order, and will be finished in a handsome man- ner. In addition to the arches there will be welcome signs at both the Minnesota & International and Great. Northern depots, and several catchy signs about the city. " It is the intention of the bisiness men of the city to decorate on an elaborate plan. In order to stimu- late competition for superior decor- ations the committee has offered paizes of $25 for the best decorated business place, . $15 for the second, and $10 for the-third, and many business houses have already signi- fied their intention of entering this contest. The committee on music has engaged the services of the famous Crookston band which will furnish music during the three days of the convention, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 18-19-20. This band also includes the famous “Leetle Cherman Bandt,” all of whom are enthusiastic members of the Crooks- ton lodge of Elks.
