Pioneer.)—The fight for county attor | ney still continue. At the present time J. S. Scribner of Walker seems to be three votes ahead of his oppoment, R. M. Funck of Cass Lake. All through the campaign it has been “nip and tuck” one or the other being one or two votes in the lead. Wednesday the canvassing board was about to adjourn and declare when the Bulah report atrived, giv- ing Scribner three the best of it. Theze is much dispute as to the validity of the Bulah report inas- much as it took eight days to arrive. Attorney Funck will use this, together with more important argu- ments, to contest the election, of should the latter be declared the nominee. Scribner, Confirmation Services.

Cass Lake, Sept. 25.—(Special to Pioneer.)—The forest fires in this section, though ~apparently under control as far as endangefing the village is concerned, are still raging fiercely east of here. All the gov- ernment men are out fighting and | have been out since Sunday. Yesterday the village was com- | pletely filled with smoke to such an extent that it was impossible, for a time, tosee a block away. Funck elected by one vote majority over Model Bakery. The smoke came from the east. 1 ;a,fhat the fighters now have the fire under control, as the ' smoke has disappeared very materially this forenoon.

K. FOOTBALL TEAM PLAYS “RAPIDS” SUNDAY Locals Look Like Winners for the Game at Grand Rapids Sun- day Afternoon. The Company K football team will play.its initial game for this season at Grand Rapids Sunday, when they will line up against the strong city team of that place. It isexpected that the game will be a heart-breaker, as the members of Company K team are all big men who have had some experi- ence in football and are strong men, their only drawback being that they are not in the best physicial condi- tion. Grand Rapids has a big bunch of old football players. and that town has the - reputation of turn- ing out some of the best gridiron stars in northern Minnesota. The members of the Company K team have been given some hard practice during the’ past week and are playing a fairly good game, but they are soft and their physical con- dition is such that it will take some little time yet before that will be “fit as fiddles.” It is believed, however, that they will give a good account of them- selves at Grand Rapids. The following will be the line-up of the Company K team at the “Rapids:” Otto, who has played with the U. S. army regulars, center; Hillaby who has played on the Brainerd team, rg; Tardy, with the U. S. army in the Phillipines, lg; Markham, who was with General Roberts in Egypt, rt; Lucas, who played with Brainerd, It; Stewart, who has played in Bemidji, re; F. Getchell, ex-member of the Bemidji high school team, le; Shock, captian of last year’s high school team, gb; Manter, formerly of St. Thomas College, 1bh; Boller, also of St. Thomas College, rh; Kelly, formerly of U of Colorado, fb. Three or four subs will be taken along, who have the reputation of being “bad men” when it comes to “hitting the line.” Undoubtedly quite a number of Bemidji people will accompany the Comp‘any K team to Grand Rapids Sunday. Newby's Horses at Ashland. I a special telegram from Ashland {to the Duluth News-Tribune yes- terday stated that over 3,000 people were in attendance at the Ashland county fair on Wednesday to wit- ness the opening of the race pro- gram there, in which Thomas Newby of this city took a very prominent part. According to the News-Tribune, Mr. Newby drove Bessie Barolite to third position in the 2:17 pace for a purse of $400. There were seven starters in this race and it wasa hot one all through, the best time in the race being 19%. Bessie came in second in the first heat, fourth in the second and third in the third heat. Mr. Newby entered Brownie Mac in the 2:30 pace and was an easy second in every heat. The best time in this race was 2:24%. As Brownie’s ‘record is near 2:30 it is more than likely that Mr. Newby did not care to win this race as he would have been compelled to lower his mare’s record several seconds. The free-for-all trot or pace, in which Prince Hal of this city was entered, was run off at Ashland yesterday and at the present writing it is not known what position the Prince secured in the race. William Begsley, one of the owners of Prince Hal, went to Ashland Wednesday evening to see this race.

SEGRETARY TAFT SPEAKS AT CROOKSTON MONDAY Local Republicans Are Talking of Run- ning Special Train to Crookston Monday Morning. Local republicans have been noti- fied that the Hon. William H. Taft, republican candidate for president of the United States, will deliver an address at Crookston at 2:20 inext Monday, at which time he will be in the “Queen City” on a special train. It has been suggested that a special train be run to Crookston starting at Cass Lake early Mon- WILLIAM H. TAFT. day morning and taking those who desire to gofrom the towns between Cass Lake and Crookston. Should such a special be arranged it is believed that a train load of enthusiasts would go to Crookston to hear Mr. Taft. It is rarely that an opportunity is” given to hear a presidential candidate speak and as the campaign this fall is a strenu- ous one, all who can go should hear Mr. Taft, whether there is a special train or not. Purchased Much Cedar. Kaye & Carter, loggers at Hines, have purchased from Walker & Akeley, the timber located on 4,800 acres of land in the vicinity of Hines and will log the same, begin- ing with the winter of 1908-9. Charles S. Carter, a member of the firm of Kaye & Carter, passed through the city last evening and corroborated the report of his firm’s purchase of the timber at Hines from Walker & Akeley. Mr. Carter says that the timber is principally cedar and that it will take from four to five years to remove the timber from the land. The deal for the purchase of the timber was closed on Wednesday at Minneapolis. The logging of the cedar will mean much to Hines dur- ing the next three or four winters. Passenger Train Wrecked at Livingston. Livingston, Mont. Sept. 25.— (Special to Pioneer.)—The Nor- thern Pacific passenger train No. 16, east-bound; collided with a freight train at Young’s Point, and twenty-five persons, including fireman and.brakeman were killed. Snow was falling and for this reason the freight train flagman could not make his presence known to the passenger engineer. The express car telescoped smoker and practically all the casualities accurred in the latter car. COUNTY FAIR. Continued from First Page different weaves with this loom and he considers it the best loom the market affords. Mr. Britten is personally in charge of the loom and 7’ is exhibiting some very fine carpets, which he has made. Among other things which he shows is a seamless sack which he made on the loom and which is considerable of a cur- iosity. The loom has attracted much interest and Mr. Britten will undoubtedly receive a large number of orders for carpets made on this loom. ; ABANDONED BY "~ TOWING TUGS Captain of Wrecked Vessel Alleges Cowardice. OVER ONE HUNDRED DEAD Cannery Ship Star of Bengal Dashed to Pieces on the Rocks Off Corona- tion Island, on the Shores of Alas- ka, and Only Twenty-Seven of the One Hundred and Thirty-seven Men on Board Escape. Wrangel, Alaska, Sept. 24.—One hundred and ten out of a total of 137 persons aboard the cannery ship Star of Bengal were drowned when the vessel was torn from the hold of pro- tecting tugs and dashed ashore at Helm poiut, at the southeast end of Coronation island. The news was brought by the tug Hattie Gage, which carried the survivors, twenty-seven in all. The survivors, before leaving Coronation island, buried the bodies of fifteen white men on the beach. The remainder of the victims were Chinese and Japanese. The ship was being towed to sea from the Wrangel cannery by the tugs Haltie Gage and Kayvak. Caplain Far- rer of the Hattie Gage gives the fol- lowing account of the disaster: '‘As we came within reach of the gale we could see that we were mak- ing leeway and drifiing toward Coro- nation island. The Kayak was light and could do nothing. The Hattie Gage could not handle the ship alone. Finally the Star of Bengal drifted into a narrow bight and we could see land both sides abreast. We sounded and found eight fathoms. We could see the vessel dimly by the phosphorus dark rocks that were all around. We cut the tow line and steamed out into the open water, but could not see any- thing in the driving rain except one blue light burning on the ship. The storm increased and the tugs steamed to Shipley bay, twentysix miles away.” Survivors Muir and Olson said the ship sank about five hours later, after breaking into three pieces. The surf was full of salmon cases and gasoline drums. Muir says he and Olson got a boat off and went to shore through the wreckage. They helped several ashore 'and pulled Captain Wagner out of the wreckage. He could not speak. The breeches buoy was rigged to a tree, but the ship was swaying so that the line was alternately loose and tight, making it impossible to use. Captain Wagner of the bark Star of Bengal was unconscious for an hour after being rescued. He charges the captains of the tugs Kayak and Hattie Gage, who cut loose from him, with rank cowardica. A. RUSSELL PEABODY DEAD Attained Public Notice as Attorney for Harry Thaw. New York, Sept. 24.—A. Russell Pea- body, one of the attorneys who had a leading part in the defense of Harry K. Thaw for the murder of Stanford White, died suddenly at Babylon, L. I, of pneumonia. He had been ill only since last Saturday. Mr. Peabody, who was a member of a well known Southern family, come to New York to practice law about ten years ago. He fifst came to public notice as one of the counsel of Harry Thaw. Mr. Peabody was a man of consid- erable meaas and took great interest in horses. One of his hobbies was a stock farm in Tennessee where he spent a good part of his winters. He was about thirty-five years old. Whole Village Found Dead. Seattle, Wash,, Sept. 24.—Frozen stift and evidently a long time dead a whole village of Siberian Eskimo were found on the Siberian coast by a par- ty of Indians who went in a canoe last June to visit their comrades. Their provisions were completely exhausted and in their famished condition they had eaten the walrus skin covers from their houses and had actually begun to devour the clothing that covered them. Cruiser Yankee on the Rocks. Newport, L. I, Sept. 24—The cruis- er Yankee, while bound from Cutty- hunk for Newport for coal, in a thick fog ran aground on Spindle rock. She is reported to have made some water in one of her compartments, but the sea is calm and she is resting easily. The submarine tender Nina, stationed at New Bedford, has been ordered to her assistance. It is believed that the Yankee can be floated with little dam- { ago Faf e e
