VOLUME 6. NUMBER 81.° BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 23, 1908. BEMIDJI BASEBALL TEAM HAS BEEN REORGANIZED Members of Team Will Run Club on Co-operative Plan, and Should be Loyally Supported by “‘Fans.”— Play Cass Lake Sunday. The Bemidji baseball team, which was recently disbanded, has been re-organized and will play several more games before the close of the season. The club will be conducted on a sort of co-operative plan and any residue remaining after expenses are paid will revert to the individual members of the team. Under the new conditions, the team will be practically the same as has played hefe all summer, the following players being in their respective positions: Roy ¢, Baumgartner p, Riddell and Downs 1b, Hazen and Beale 2b, Bush ss, Barker 3b, Mitchell rf, Collins cf, Petrielf. It is the intention of the Bem\d)l team to play at Cass Lake Sunday against the strong team of that place. Cass Lake has in Grady, one of the very best pitchers in the north half of the state, when he is “right.” He hasa world of speed and puzzling curves, but he is often wild, which wildness has lost him several games this summer. In a game played here, early in the sea- son, between Cass Lake and Bemidji, Bemidji won by a very small margin, owing to the errors of the fielders behind Grady. He should have B e = Coilins Will Play Center. won the game, as he pitched remark- able ball here. ~ Many Bemidji peo- ple will go to Cass Lake Sunday to see the game. As the net proceeds, after all expenses are paid, will revert to the individual players who have been members of the Bemidji team for small compensation, the “fans” of the city should liberally patronize the games which will be played here under the new conditions. —eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Double Performance at Brinkman. Manager Brinkman will have a double-act vaudeville at his place this evening: The Deloys, who recently filled an engagement with Mr. Brinkman will appear at his place this evening in conjugation with the Mansfield Bros., the sharp- shooters. The performance promises to be of espicial interest as the troupe will be seven strong and will present the laughing comedy, “Doctor Dipple’s Retreat.” ‘“Hu- manity Through Ages” and “Hyp- notic Removal” are two of the most pleasing and instructive moving picture features ever attempted in the city. While “Humanity Through Ages” shows the very vivid struggle be- tween the classes from 4000 B. C. to the present day the funny “Hypnotic Removal” film dispects very plainly what the great factor, electricity, is doing for humanity, going so far as to be able to remove household goods from one house to another without the aid of man. The illustrated song “It’s Great to Be a Soldier Man,” is a master- piepe when rendered by the talented vocalist E. Homan Estell, and never fails to bring long and loud applause. This is the biggest show of the season and you should not miss it. Cement Sidewalks. We have hired an experienced sidewalk man to have full charge of our sidewalk business.

In chambers yesterday, Judge Stanton presided at the hearing in the case of Christ Wragge against Henry Mullenmeister, both .of Cass Lake, in which the defendant, Mullenmeister, asks for an order restraining the plaintiff, Wragge, from cutting timber from a certain tract of “reservation” land near Cass Lake. George B, Edgerton of St. Paul, former assistant attorney general, appeared as counsel for Mullen- meister while Wragge had C. C. McCarthy of Grand Rapids and" R. M. Funk of Cass Lake for his attorneys. The argument was on an order to show cause in which Mullenmeister sought to restrain Wragge from cutting timber. It appears that Wragge was allow- ed by the U. S. land office at Cass Lake to file on the land in contre- versey at the opening of the land at the Cass Lake land. offce on August 15, 1905. 5 In the argument of the case Mullenmeister’s attorney brought out that ‘Mullenmeister claimed to have been on the public highway running through the land prior. to 9 o'clock on the day of the land opening; that Mullenmeister stepped on the land at exactly 9 o’clock on the day of the opening and claimed right to file prior to Wragge because of having been on the land. The department of Interior has already ruled that Mullenmeister had no legal right on the highway prior to the opening of the land. Judge Stanton took the case under advisement and will probably render a decision this week. Bemidii Business College. Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Penmanship, Typewriting, Business Arithmetic, Spelling, Commercial Law, Corrospondence, Common English branches for beginners will be taught by experts- The young people of Bemidji could not receive better training for busi- ness in New York or Chicage at any price than is now offered them at home. As you cannot reasonably hope to win in business without adequate preparation you will not disregard this opportunity. Are you tired of doing chores, or do you like a small orbit; a small salary; a circumscribed existence? Will you have at least one fling at success, large satisfying success, or do you vrefer to use only your muscles? Is it your personal choice: to compete with the mule and the locomotive? Manual labor per- formed merely for bread is pitiless slavery. The work hghtened by ambman, hope and a noble purpose, however hard, is a recreation. The Bemidji Business College has | secured excellent rooms and assur- Bemidji'is the hub of an unsupplied radius extend 200 miles west, east, north and south.

' Tout of St. Paul Saturday night and and the evening was spent in a WEEK-END TRAIN WILL BE RUN DURING AUGUST Saturday Night Train from St. Paul Has Proven to Be a Profitable Venture. Word comes -from St Paul to G. A. Walker, local agent for the M. & L railway company, to the effect that the head officials of the N. P. and M. & L. railways have decided to continue the week-end train service from St. Paul to International Falls. This will be pleasing news to the residents of the different towns north from Brainerd, as the commercial clubs of Bemidji and other places have all along maintained that this ‘train would prove a paying venture. ~TWhen tnetrain was first inaugur- ated, Friday night, May 29, the railway officials stated that they would put a train into - service merely as an experiment; that if the patronage from the Twin cities and gther points north from the cities, warranted it they would continue the train the balance of the season. ~* From the start of the service, the train has been very well patronized. Sleeping cars were provided, where- by any one desiring to come from the Twin cities, or intervening points, to Bemidji or north of here could do so with no inconvenience whatever. The train has enjoyed a splendid patronage, which has induced the service during the month of August. This week-end train was secured asaresult of a concerted effort on the part of Bemidji and other com- mercial clubs requesting a -daily night train on the M. & I. and N. P. to the Twin cities. The railroad companies did not see their way clear to install“a daily night train so put on the week-end train(running returning Monday morning) asa sort of compromise with the demand for a night train. Pleasant Partv. A party of ladies and gentlemen of this city went out to the popular Jester summer resort mnear Lake Plantageuet yesterday morning in launches and enjoyed a- day’s out- ing, returning -to the city in the evening. 3 g They were: Misses Rosamond Leland of Minneapolis, Louise Beare of Brainerd, Charlotte Bamber of Rochester, and Donna Lycan of this city; Mesdames Beare of Brainerd, Budge of Grand Forks, N.

P. Lahr of this city, deputy coroner of Beltrami county, has returned from Spooner, where he went two days ago in response to a telegram stating that the body of an _|unknown man had been found in the Rainy river at Spooner—evidently a case of suicide. Mr. Lahr states that the body was that of Ole Norjora, aged 21 years, and it is believed that he was drowned while attempting to take a bath in the river, and while deler- ious with an attack of fever. Norjora, who had been working in the 'sawmill at Spooner, had been sick with typhoid fever for nearly two weeks. - He was able to be out of his bed and walk around the house last Saturday, and séemed much better than at any time since he was taken ill. = However, his phy- sician had cautioned Norjora to stay in his room, where he had been provided with everything necessary for his comfort. Norjora retired to his bed at about 9 o'clock that evening, and was apparently light-hearted and cer- tainly well. Parties who went to Norjora’s Delirious from Fever. room at 4 o’clock Sunday morning found the bed empty and Norjora nowhere to be found. Search was made about the house, but no trace of the missing man could be found. It was remembered that Norjora had expressed a desire to go bathing, and the searchers directed their efforts to the river. The Rainy river wasdragged, and finally at noon on Monday, the body of Nor- jora was raised from the bottom of the river. There were no marks on the body; and the deputy coroner deemed it unnecessary to hold an inquest. ‘The body was arrayed in a night robe. Norjora had often expressed a wish to take a bath and it is sup- posed the idea of taking one entered his mind during - the night and he went to the river, two blocks dis- tant, and met his death. He had been delerious one previous occa- sion. Evan Norjora of Badger, an uyncle of Ole, was at Spooner and assisted in the search for the body. The dead man has a mother living in Norway. — In Police Court. In police court yesterday George Oclaire was fined $10 and costs or twenty days in jail by Judge Simons for being disorderly. He paid the fine and was dismissed from custody. ‘His side-partner, Hazel Lester, was charged with the same thing and given the same sentence. 3 of thefine she was committed to the county jail to serve out her time, A warrant was issued yesterday afernoon by Justice Simons for the arrest of Hazel Lester on the charge of grand larceny. She is charged with stealing about $55 from an intoxicated man in one of the resorts near here. - The woman will be re-arrested upon the com- pletion of her present sentence and will be arrainged upon the new charge. % ° Frank Rogers of this city was arrested yesterday morning on a warrant sworn out by Policeman Claud Ritchie charging him- with keeping his saloon open after 11 o'clock on Tuesday night. Mr. Rogers was arrainged before Judge Simons and the case was "dismissed on the grounds that, as Mr, Rogers’ license had been In default of payment.| revoked the night before, he was not running a saloon and was not under that taw. . It was shown' to the satisfication of the court that he had only been selling soft drinks. 3 Good Residence for Sale.
