AN ENRAGED FINLANDER SHOOTS AT GOMPANION — Pulls Gun at Cass Lake.—Bystanders Deflect Aim, and Murder is Averted. Cass Lake, July 25.—(Special to Pioneer.)—While engaged in a heated controversy with a compan- ion on the streets of Cass Lake yesterdav, David Hill, a Finlander, attempted to kill his companion and but for the timely interference of bystanders would undoubtedly have committed murder. Hill and his companion got into a quarrel over some trivial matter which was continued for some time, the men calling each other names and using threatening language. Finally Hill reached into his hip pocket and brought forth a revolver. Before Hill could get the barrel of the weapon in range with his companion his arm was hit by a bystander and the revolver discharged, the bullet going into the air. Those standing around Hill dis- armed him and turned tne enraged man over to the .police. * He lodged in the village jail. Late in the evening Hill was given a heating before a local justice and was held to await the action of the grand jury at the next term of court for Cass county. That Hill intended to kill his companion was very evident, as his face was convulsed with rage and he struggled fiercely to get at the man with whom he had the® quarrel. Presbyterian Church Notice.

White, By Boat to Grand Rapids. Rob and Edgar Stewart of Webb Cily, Mo., and Frank Street and Byron Wilson of Royalton, four boys who are camping on the shores of Lake Bemidji, formed a party which returned yesterdav afternoon from Grand Rapids, where they went in boats from here. The boys secured two rowboats and a camping outfit and left the city on July 17. They went down the Mississippi river and - passed Cass Lake, reaching Winnibogoshish dam late that night and Ball Club on the third day. Here they-struck logs and had to float with them, reaching Grand Rapids three days later. They had inteuded to go on to Brainerd, but there were so many logs in the river that they decided to leave out the remainder of the trip. Accordingily, they shipped their boats from Grand Rapids to Bemidji and returned here yesterday after-| noon. . The boys report that thev had | had one of the finest trips of their lives. There is no more beautiful scenery in this section of the coun- try than on the Mississippi between here and Grand Rapids. The Bemidji Bible Conference will be in. session next week.

ITALIAN HELPED OVER LINE Latter Appeared First at Finishing Point Pitiable Condition and, After Falling Several Times, Was Assisted in Completing the Race. Hayes Was Second and His Protest Against Italian Was Upheld. London, July 25.—John F. Hayes, Irish-American Athletic club, was de- clared thie winner of the great mara- thon road race after Dorondo, Italian, had been given the honor under cir- cumstances that evoked an instant protest. The finish of this marathon race had brought out a record breaking crowd. By 3 o’clock upwards of eighty thousand persons had passed in and talen their seats on the stands. The runners started from Windsor, about twenty-five miles away, and it was after 5 o’clock when it was announced that the first of the contestants was at big reduction.

Muslin Underwear entering ~the ~Stadium. ~-He ~was Dorondo, an Italian, and his condition ‘was pitiable. - He staggered and fell, only to rise again and totter on a few foet more. The crowd on the track closed about him and then broke away when he was able to make another effort. The spectators were deeply impressed. There were crise of “Stop him,” “Don’t kill him,” “This is not sport,” from eyery side. Suddenly, while Dorondo-lay on the ground with his lap in the Stadium two-thirds done and with a crowd sur- rounding him on the track, a cheer broke forth from the 100,000 spec- tators. The second runner had come into the Stadium. He was a stocky youth and on the breast of his white running shirt shone the American emblem. TUrged on by his supporters and by the cheers of the throng the Italian was again on his feet. It was impos- sible to see whether he had been assisted up or not, but he made a brave effort to run. He wobbled along until he was twenty yards from the finish. There were two officials, the clerk of the course and a big assist- ant, at his side. They apparently Were Giving Him a Push every time he was on the point of falling. A tremendous outbreak of cheering, mingled with shouts of anger, from the spectators made a pandemonium. The 100,000 people were on their feet together and the confusion was indescribable. Again Dorondo collapsed a few yards from the finish and directly in front of the press stand, whence it was possible to see plainly all that occurred. The Italian lay stretched out prone. He seemed to be fainting. A trainer put a bottle to his lips and some officials raised him to his feet. He staggered on, gasping, for the few yards still separating him from the tape. Three or four times he was on the point of falling backward. The big official, with a hand at the small of the Ital- ian’s back, shoved him ahead for the last few feet, while another official helped by supporting him by the arm. As the plucky runner touched the tape his supporters let go. He then sank in a heap and fainted. Doctors with a stretcher dashed forward and carried him off just as Hayes, the American runner, came trotting heav- ily and slowly, but gamely, to the winning post. Once more the spectators broke out into a tumult, but more from excite- ment than from a desire to cheer, for the Italian flag had besn raised over the staff in the center of the arena with the American flag below it. The American officials quickly gathered about the judges and protested. Half an hour lator the announcement was made that Hayes had been declared the winner. Hefferon, South Africa, was second, and Forshaw, American, third. WALKS TELEPHONE WIRES Maniac Performs Hazardous Feats at Chicago. Chicago, July 25—A maniac, who performed weird gymnastic feats on a telephone pole and walked the wires between poles with the casual air of a man on the street, kept a squad, of policemen busy for an hour. A com- pany of firemen finally induced the crazed performer to mount a ladder which, once he was on it, was quickly lowered. The prisoner proved to be Constan- tine Bostells, an automobile mechanic. Bostells, according to his friends, has been a student of aerial navigation, which is thought to account for his having chosen the telephone wires fer his performance.
