SUPERIOR BASKETBALL BOYS EASILY DEFEATED “Big Bemidg” Five, Playing in Splendid Form, Too Strong for Normals.—Questionable Defeat of Previous Evening More Than Offset. With its best members playing in their regular positions, Saturday evening, the “Big Bemidg” basket- ball team decisively defeated the fast Normal team of Superior, Wis- consin, which was allowed to claim a game on the previous evening by a decision of the referee, who would not allow a field basket (two points)made by the local team,neces- sitating a tie at the end of the sec- ond half of the game, with a win by Superior on the extra playing to decide the tie. Peterson, guard, who was absent from the “Big Bemidg” line-up on Friday evening, was back in the game, and his playing was a tower of strength. In fact, the entire Bemidji team played very fast and bad a shade on the visitors all through the contest, the final score being 22 to 15, in favor of Bemidji. The work done by Warren of Bemidji and Ryan of Superior, who alternated as referee and umpire, was above criticism, and they were so alert that fouls were called fre-| quently and penalties were freely imposed. The Superior team was able to throw but one field basket, being| guarded so closely that a try basket was seldom close for the visitors. The Normals made eleven points from free foul throws, and were} given two points on penalties. “Big Bemidg” kept the ball in the Superior territory most of the time, and the score would undoubt- edly have been nne-sided, with any- thing like an even break on “luck,” as many tries for baskets, made by the locals, were missed by the very marrowest of margins. Bemidji threw six field baskets, got nine points on free foul throws and was| given one point by the officials. Although the visitors were very fast, they were out-played, at every stage of the game; Bemidji amply demonstrating that the win of the night previous was a “‘fluke.” The line-up of “Big Bemidg” was changed somewhat, Geil going out, and Heffron and Markham playing forward, Brown .taking his old place at center, and Biddinger and Peterson playing guards. The boys worked together nicely, and- before the first half of the game was com- pleted, the visitors lost heart, toa certain extent, and plainly showed they anticipated defeat. Lemieux one of the Normal’s for- wards, was by far their best player. He was very fast, a good dodger, and adept in throving the ball. He made the only field basket which the Normals secured The remainder, of the visitors were outplayed. At the conclusion of the game, the members of the two teams dined together, and there was the best of feeling. Married by Judge Bailey. Sam Berg and Miss Rena Even- son were united in marriage, today, H. W. Bailey, judge of the municipal court, officiating as the ‘‘knot-tier.” The newly-married couple are both residents of Beltrami county, and will make their home in this county.

Wil- liams of this city, who died at 11 o’clock Friday morning of heart failure, were quietly laid to rest in Greenwood yesterday afternoon, the services being conducted by Rev- erend Davies of the Episcopal church, at the City Hall. Mrs. Williams is survived by a husband and one son, who is ten years old. The family have lived in this city for about a year and a half. PETE EDD WAS WINNER OF WRESTLING CONTEST Local Grappler Pr_oved to Be Too Fast for the Visiting Champion of North Dakota. Peter Edd, the local grappler, won an interesting wrestling match, Sat- urday night, his opponent being Charles Deitz, who claims to be the middleweight wrestler of North Dakota. Edd took two straight falls fmrn Deitz, and demonstrated that he is a wrestler of more than ordinary ability. The match was witnessed by a fair-sized crowd of local sports who had been informed that something good was in sight. The match was pulled off in the Eagles’ hall, and it was after 11 o’clock before the men got together. Ole Greenland acted as referee, to the satisfaction of both the wrestlers and the crowd. . The first fall went to Edd, after seven minutes of fast work, the local man going right after the visitor and giving him no rest until a fall was announced by the referee. Deitz was on the defensive, from the start. After afive-minute rest, Edd again ‘got busy” with Dietz and after five minutes of grasping got Dietz’s arm in ‘“chancery” and the latter gradually went to the mat. It is likely that Edd will engage in another match here, in the near future. Clionion Quartette Was Good. Tne services yesterday at the Baptist church were largely at- tended. The “Clionian Quartette” from Brainerd sang at both ser- vices. At the morning service they sang two special numbers, which took hold of the hearts of those present. In the evening the church was crowded, the word going around that the quartette would sing at the evening service, besides taking part in the chorus singing. They gave *us three special numbers, and everyone seemed charmed. Their voices blend swetztly together. Their singing is not only musical, but soulful, as well, and the beauty of it is vou can ‘easily understand {every word they sing. Owing to the fact that they were strangers in our city, the concert on Saturday night was not so well attended-as it might have been, although those present were more than satisfied. We congratulate Brainerd First Baptist church on the “Ladies’ Qurtette,” and if they should come again to our city they would un- doubtedly be given a big audience, CARPENTER AND SCHULTZ WILL SKATE RAGES HERE Crookston and Hibbing Champions Will Decide Supremacy Tuesday and Wednesday Evenings. Harry Carpenter, the champion roller skater of Crookston,and Frank Schultz, the champion of Hibbing, will skate a series of races at the Bemidji Roller Rink, on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of this week, for the championship of north- ern Minnesota. The arrangements for these races were closed Saturday, and it is ex- pected that the contests will be bitterly fought by each of the skat- ers. Young Schultz came to this city from Hibblng about a week ago, and has been training at the local rink. Carpenter has been at Crookston, of late; and has asked for several | races there; and he is in good con- dition. Al Thorpe, the Fargo crack, is expected here before the last of the races between Carpenter and Schultz, and as he is desirious of getting on with the winner of the Carpenter -Schultz series, it is more than likely that the Fargo man (who is the fastest man in North Dakota) will be given a race. New Glee Club. Sevyeral of the voung men of this city have orgahized a glee club, under the name of the Arion Glee Club, with twenty charter members. Officers were elected and it was decided to have weekly meetings for the purpose of practicing. As some of the very best talent in the city is possessed by this organi- zation, the public entertainments this winter of the Arion Glee Club will doubtless be musical treats to the people. Following are the officers of the new club: C. D. Lucas, president; S. J. Harvey, secretary and treasurer; Andrew Rood, director; and F. S. Stirratt, custodian. Were Married Here. William Zimmerman of Blackduck was married Saturday afternoon to Miss Rose Zohn of Fergus Falls, Reverend White of this city perform- ing the céremony. - The Ladies of the M, E. church will give a supper in the Odd Fel- H1stoncal Soclefy T ae FORTY CENTS PER MONTH BEMIDJI LADIES’ CIRCLE G.

Mrs. Tubbs was present at the meeting and after making a thorough examination of the affairs of the circle and officers thereof, she was emphatic in her words of praise for the good work being done by the circle and the very efficient manner in which the offieers were performing their labors. Especially did Mrs, | Tubbs dwell onthe earnestness of the circle members in performing good ‘deeds.
