THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER. VOLUME 6. NUMBER 162. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, MONQAY EVENING, OCTOBER 26, 1908. FORTY CENTS PER MONTH COMPANY K ELEVEN WON GAME AT CASS LAKE 5T0 0 Gridiron Contest Yesterday Afternoon Was Fiercely Fought, from Start to Finish.---G ame With Grand Rapids, at Cass Lake, Probable. Cass Lake, Oct. 26.—(Special to Pioneer.)—The football game between the teams representing Cass Lake and Bemidji met at Cass Lake | yesterday, the visitors winning by a single touchdown, failing to kick goal. Bemidji appeared with a team fully twenty pounds heavier to the man than the local players. During the game a light rain fell, | the field being very wet, which aided the heavy Bemidji players materially. The first half was about an even break, neither teem scoring. Cass Lake’s light team could not get their plays started on account of the slippery field, while the Bemidji team were successful in bucking Cass Lake’s line. During the second half, the spec- tators were treated to real football. Bemidji took the ball and bucked the line fifty-five yards for a touch- down. They- failed to kick goal. Bemidji almost had a second touch- down, but fumbled on Cass Lake’s fifteen-yard line and quarterback Miskella grabbed the ball and ran seventy-five yards. He slipped and fell on Bemidji’s ten-yard line, Edd, Bemidji’s center, making a fine tackle. With only one minute left to play, Cass Lake was unable to score, as Company K held fine. The game was free from rough playing and the best of feeling pre- vailed during the contest. Co. K Played Fine. The above is an account of the football game which was written by the Pioneer’s correspondent at Cass Lake, and is a fair account of the game, but does not tell that the Be- midji team out-played Cass Lake at every stage of the game, which is admitted by everyone who saw the game, yesterday. The Company K boys played strongly and the ball was in Cass Lake territory all the time except when the fumble was made which allowed Miskella to make his long run. L4 Pete Edd covered himself with glory in giving chase to Miskella and tiring the latter our, preventing! a touchdown, the direct result of a fumble. Walter Brannon, who played a splendid game, was quite seriously injured during the play. His back was injured and it was necessary to carry him off the field. However, Walt is around today and no doubt he will be in the next game, as he is full of grit and is immensely fond of football. The Company K boys say that Cass Lake people are anxious to see Company K and Grand Rapids play a game at Cass Lake, for a suitable purse. Dr. Dumas, coach for the Cass Lake team, stated that he would be willing to wager $50 that the Bemidji team, as it played yesterday, would defeat Grand Rapids. It is more than likely that a game between Grand Rapids and Com- pany K will be arranged to be played at Cass Lake, and if such a contest ever takes place, the specta- tors will see the Bemidji team put up a geme against their opponents that will be worth going many miles to see. Grand Rapids High Won. Grand Rapids, Oct. 26—(Special to Pioneer) —With three men out of the game on account of being in- jured in pracrice and three more bar- red for being below grade in their studies, the Grand Rapids High School football team used six second- team-men and lined up on the local gridiron Saturday afternoon against the Hibbing Highs and defeated them by a score of 10 to 5. It rained all day Saturday and the field was in a slippery condition but the game was pulled off in spite of the weather and proved to be a hard- fought battle, neither team being able to kick goal when they had the chance. Fullback Jerome Meyers had his nose broken early in the first half but pluckily stuck through- | out the game. Fosston Tied East Grand Forks. Fosston, Oct. 26.—(Special to Pionee.)—The Fosston Highs held the East Grand Forks High School football team in this city Saturday afternoon down to a score of 0 to O in one of the hardest games ever played on the local gridiron. The visitors expected to walk all over the local boys and the latter are proud of holding them down to such a score. Professor Thornton of the Bemidji High School acted as referee and gave universal satisfaction.

Senator Sageng 1is facetiously called “The Man Behind the Plow,” and there is in existence some verse relative to his ability as a sod.turner. The senator arrived in the city this noon and was met by a num- ber of local people who have made his acquaintance heretofore, Senator Sageng spent the after. noon making the acquaintance of local people, and is in readiness to deliver his speech at the meeting Hall this evening. Will Consider ‘‘Variety” License To- night. Among the important matters which will be taken up for considera- tion at tonight’s meeting of the city council is the avplication of A. Burke for the renewal of his license to sell intoxicating liquors in his building on Second street, where is operated the Star theater, known as a vaude- ville house but more approprately called among those who frequent such places a “variety show.” Do the people of Bemidji want this concern continued—right in the heart of the business district of the city? It will be interesting to note the vote on this proposition, which will be recorded in the Pioneer. Aid Society to Meet Wednesday.

Moorhead Dailv News: A ques- tion which has very frequently been discussed and ruled upon with much laxity by election judges has been settled as far as the attorney gen- eral’s office is concerned, in a letter written by Special Assistant C. Louis Weeks to D. W. Meeker. The letter follows: “Dear Sir: We are in receipt of yours of the 6th inst, in which you ask for the opinion of this office on the hereinafter stated question. You ask “If a voter moves from frem one ward to another, or from one voting precinct within the county to another, within thirty days of elec- tion, where does he vote?” In answer to this question I beg to advise you that where a person moves from one election district to another within thirty days of an election, he is not entitled to vote in either election district. He loses his right to vote in the district from which he has moved by reason of fact of his ceasing to be a resident of that district, and he cannot vote in the district to which he has moved for the reason that he will not have been a resident thereof thirty days’ preceding the election. as required by the state constitution. (See Article VII, Section 1, consti- tution.) An election district, with- in the meaning of the constitution, is what is quite frequently spoken of as a precinct—meaning thereby any given district within which the electors; vote at a given place and presided over by one set of election officials. “Very truly, “C.
