Just how strong the Deer River bunch may be is a matter of specu- lation on the part of ‘Big Bemidg,” as it was not known that Deer River | had any basketball players prior to| arranging this there are many athletes of experi- game. However, ence over at Deer River, and itis NESOTA HISTORICAL SBCIETY, FORTY CBNTS PER MONTH BIG BEMIDG BASKETBALL TEAM ARRANGE FOR GAMES. will Open the Season Thanksgiving Evening, Playing at the Coliseum Against Deer River.—Other Good Contests Are on the Schedule. more than likely that the town has a fast five. Two games will be played with a team from Floodwood, December 3rd and the other on December 4th. Among the other outside teams who want games with “Big Bemidg” is the Baline High School five of Superior, acknowledged one of the very best school teams in the middle one on | west. The “Big Bemidg” squad is practicing diligently, and one of the games which they are anxious to play is a prospective contest with the Y. M. C. A. team of Duluth, which wrongfully claimed a tie game last year, also assuming the cham- pionship of northern Minnesota, and refusing to play off the tie. Tietsworth Did Well. E. T. Tietsworth, county attorney of Clearwater county, was transact- ing legal business in thecity yesterday and incidentally called at the Pioneer | office. Mr. Tietsworth was chair- fman of the republican county com-| mittee of Clearwater county, at the! late general election, and it is worthy | of mention that the county gave| Jacobson a majority of 208 over Johnson, in the gubernatorial con- test; and Wright had a majority of 183 over Stanton. The republican candidates for county offices were all elected, except in the contest for the office of register of deeds, the republican aspirant being beaten. *“Bill” After Horses. William Masterson has gone tol Warren and other parts of northern | Minnesota, where he intends to hire a carload of borses for use in the | camps of the J. A. Irvine company |in that company’s logging operations this winter. Mr. Masterson is one of the best horsecmen in the coun- try and he knows a good ‘‘nag” when he sees one. “Bill” is a staunch adherent of the good qualities of this part of the country and the way in which he will tell those Warren- ites of the beauties of Beltrami county won’t “‘be slow.” HOUSE OF ILL FAME AT CASS LAKE DESTROYED Fire at the *‘Lake,” Last Night, Caused a Loss of $4,000; Insurance, $3,000. Cass Lake, Nov. 17—(Special to Pioneer.)—Fire here last night com- pletely destroyed the large house of ill fame belonging to William Hill. The fire originated, in some unkuown manner, on the second floor of the building, and before dis- |covered it had gained considerable headway. The firemen arrived in short order, but their efforts to save the burning building were useless and they turned their attention to the resort operated by Alice Clifford. For a time it looked as if this building would also be destroyed but, notwithstanding the fact that it was in a blaze in several places, it was saved with little damage done. Nothing was saved in the Hill re- sort excepta few trunks and the piano. Several of the inmates lost all their money, amounting to sev- eral hundred dollars, together with their clothes and other valuables. The loss is estimated at $4,000, with about $3,000 insurance. The work of the firemen in saving the Clifford resort was highly com- mendable. -Additiona' local matter will be found on fourth page. | “Valse Graztelle™............. MISS BICKINSON'S PUPILS GAVE A FINE REGITAL A Pleased Gathering of City People Listened to Something Which Was Really Good. The musical recital given at the City Opcra House last evening by the pupils of Miss Dickinson’s music élass, together with a number of local people possessed of rare talent, proved to be a splendid success. There was a good attendance and the excellence of the numbers ren- dered was attested to by the liberal applause which was given at the conclusion of every number. Most of those who participated in the recital were “little folks” and they certainly acquitted themselves with much credit. Miss Dickinson can surely be proud of the most excellent work which she has done in training her pupils. The numbers rendered by local people, not members of the class, were very good.
