The first day of the two-days’ race meet, Saturday, was poductive of some very good sport, the races belng run in very good time, every- thing considered. In the three-minute trot or pace, all the horses entered were green steppers, and the four entries made a very pretty race. “Brownie Mack,” a pacer owned by T. J. Nary of Park Rapids and driven by Thomas Newby of this city, was first in three straight heats. The little pacer acted very badly and it took the assistance of two attendants on the track before Mr. Newby could get her going, but once she got under way, she got the lead and was never headed, although both Fay Medium and Fargo Boy were at the wheels of the bike all the time. Fargo Boy acted badly, but in the second heat, he showed a great burst of speed near the finish and came near winning in the stretch, Newby nosing out by inches with “Brownie.” Summary: 3:00 Trot or Pace; Purse, $300.

The 2:22 class trot or pace was simply a warming-up brush for Bessie Barolite, owned by Thomas Newby of this city, with Bemidji Bell trailing close up. King George rge acted badiy and was shy of speed, when he did keep his feet, Bessie traveled around and chew- ed her bit in impatience for the balance of the procession to move onward, Summary: 2:22 Trot or Pace: Bessie Barolite (Newby) ... Bemidji Belle (Begsley) - - - King George (Cherry) Time: 2:28 %, 2:30, 2:25 %. The track was not in good con- dition, the recent rains having soft- ened the surface so much that the horses cut large holes in the top. PRSI PRSI o The races yesterday were the best ever seen on the local track, and in one of the races the time made was the fastest made by any horse that has appeared in Bemidii. The local track record was broken, and every heat in each of the two races was a contest from wire to wire. In the free-for-all, there were en- tered three horses with records better than 2:12, and one with a record of 2:22, which was fast enough to win second place in all three heats. The entries were: Prince Hal, record 2:06%; Little Jim, record 2:11 ¥; Pat Ford, 2:10, and Bessle Barolite, 2:22 Judging from the manner in which the race was run, it was anything to beat Prince Hal, among the drivers from outside, and if possible to keep Bessie Barolite to the rear. The first heat of the race showed that Little Jim was in elegant con- dition, and under Cherry’s guiding hand was going like the wind. Prince Hal got a bad start, and was forced to trail in the rear until the last turn on the mile, when, as Driver Begsley tried to pass on the outside, the right pneumatic tire broke, and Prince came in last, Little Jim was never headed, although Newby, with Bessie Baro- lite, made Cherry “go some” with “Jim.” Pat Ford was third, and there was a race all the way around between the trotter and Bessie for second place, the mare showing a burst of speed down the stretch that brought the people in the stands to their feet with a hurrah. Everybody groaned when “Hal’s” tire broke, as much had been ex- pected of the great pacer. In the second heat, “Hal” was again given a very poor start, “Jim” leading, with Bessie Barolite and “Pat” fighting every inch for second place. Begsley made sev- eral attempts to get around on the outside of the bunch, but Pat Ford blocked his way, both from the outside and when the horse was turned for the inside. “Hal” was sent to the outside, at the first turn on the last half mile, in an attempt to get by, but the track was very soft and full of holes on the high ground, and he broke, losing three lengths before he got down again. He was finally set in motion, but the distance was too great and he camein last. “Jim”being first, Bessie Barolite second and Pat Ford third. In this heat, Little Jim negotiated the mile in 2:13 1-4, shatterring the track record by two full seconds, the previous record having been 2:1514, made by “Jim” in the races held here last fall; and Bessie Barolite made “‘Jim” go the record at that time, also. In the third heat, Lockwood was put up behind “Hal” and told to put him through without stint. “Hal” was trailed behind the leaders until the last turn, when Lockwood had him rapidly over- hauling “Jim.” Again, a tire broke, and “Hal” was hopelessly beaten. “Little Jim” won the heat, with Bessie second, Pat Ford third, and Prince Hal fourth.

The reunion of the Elks termin- ated Saturday evening, when the last of the Elks, for the most part, left for their homes. The departing guests were very tired, but they were all well pleased with the taeatment accorded them here and were loud in their praise of their‘ free-handed hospitality which had been dealt out by Bemidji and Elks and citizens of this place generally. No more expressive sentiment of the general feeling of visiting Elks could have been given than that made by Dr. Bryant of St. Paul, who said: “I have had the time of my life—here in Bemidji; and I am going to tell every Elk in St. Paul that he missed the best gathering of Elks ever held in the west' Mrs. Bryant and myself have enjoyed every minute of our stay here, and only wish that I could stay longer. You are to be congratulated on hav- ing such hospitable people for citizens, for everybody seemed to vie with everyone else in giving the guests of Bemidji every attention. You are all right.” City Board of Equalization in Session. According to the published notices the city board of equalization met this morning at the council rooms and qualified.

Grand Rapids, June 22.—(Special to Pioneer.—Fred Sherdian (alias Fred Lewis) a lumberjack who has been working in the Big Fork, country is lodged in the county jail here, charged with attempted crimi- nal assult on the person of a young girl near Big Fork, last Saturday. It appears that Sherdian had come off from a drive about a week ago, and had been on a big spree at Big Falls. Saturday morning he was in the outskirts of the village when he met a young girl, whom he followed down the road to a - spot where the railroad crosses the road, when he caught the girl and attempted to drag her into the bushes. The girl screamed and fought back at Sheridan, her screams attracting some men, at the sight of whom Sheridan ran into the woods _|and got out of sight, the girl making her way to the home of a home- steader whon she knew, where she told of the desperate struggle which she had passed through while with Sheridan. ¢ The news of the attempted crime was rapidly noised About and a posse was formed to search for Sheridan. The Minneapolis & Rainy River Railroad company gave the use of a special train in patroll- ing their tracts, and distributed men all along the line. A section crew which had lain in ambush for . several hours finally caught sight of Sheridan and gave chase. Sheridan ran rap- idly into the woods;-put was pur~ sued, and after being knocked down by a stone, fie surrendered and was taken into custody and J. N. Bailey. taken to Deer River, where he was Grand Rapids,in charge of Constable Larson and two deputies. Grand Forks Bay. Mrs. C. H.

The game, however, was not one-sided, Bemidji being compelled to earn two of her four runs, by bunched hits and fine base-running, coupled with gome very good, heady bunting and sacrificing. Baumgartner was on the mound for Bemidji, and he was master of the situation, atlall times. Fred had plenty of speed and good con- trol, putting ’em, for the most part, right where L. Roy wanted them. On several occasions, the visitors got on the bases, and it looked as if they would certainly score, but “Bum” tightened up, and with some good head work struck out the batter, leaving the runners on the bases. Louis Roy never played better ball, his catching and throw- ing to bases being absolutely per- fect. The “old boy” was like a 3- year-old colt, and he threw to bases in a manner that entirely discour- aged any of the International Falls players from attemptfng to “go down” getting a couple of them a “mile off”” second base. He also bunted very successfully, and made two timely sacrifices. ‘Varco, on second base, was a tower of strength to the team. He got everything that came his way, and on the bases was a whirlwind. Charles Roy, in right field, played a good game. He made two nice bunts, while at bat, and also lined out a single that brought in a run. The rest of the team played good ball. Waubbins pitched for International Falls, and did very well. He allow- ed six hits, and struck out four, being was ater aien v 1o <oy 1 2| DBEMIDJI BASEBALL TEAM ~ SHUT-OUT “THE FALLS”-4-0 Ball Saturday.—Cass Lake ““Goose-Egged” Park Rapids Sunday, and Interna- tional Falls Defeated Walker. steady all through, despite bad errors of his team mates.
