HIGH SCHOOL TOMORROW NIGHT —— School Will Make Big Team‘‘Go Some.” —~Grand Rapids and Dulqlh in Sight. What promises to be an interest- ing game of basketball will be play- ed at the Coliseum skating-rink to- morrow evening- when the Bemidji High School five will line up-against “Big Bemidg.” While, under the usual conditions, it would be next to impossible for the “kids” to defeat “Big Bemidg,” the fast high school lads have a good show of being victors tomorrow evening as Gill will play with the school instead of the regular team and it is possible that Brown, the big fellows’ center, will be unable to play. Biddinger, one of, “Big Bemidg’s” guards, is not in good condition but may play anyway in Gill’s position. It is also possible that Lindsay or Renner may be used in this game. Joe Markham went to Kelliher this evening and may not be here tomorrow. It is not known yet just what will be line-up of the big team, but the high schocl boys will play in the following positions: Gill and Gould, forwards; Hondrom, center; Stanton, Kruse and Kreatz, guards. Manager Wyler of the skating rink announced this morning that he is making arrangements with Grand Rapids to play here. next Thursday evening. “And,” con- tinued Mr. Wyler, “if the attend- ance at these two games is suffi- ciently large to pay up the extra ex- pense of securing exceptionally big games, we will bill either Brainerd, Royalton, or the Duluth Y. M., C. A. team for the following week.” : All lovers of good basketball games should attend the game to- morrow evening and help pave the way for settling the championship between “Big Bemidg” and the Du- luth Y. M. C. A. The price of admission tomorrow evening will be twenty-five cents. Skating before and after the game. NARROWLY ESGAPED FROM DROWNING IN CASS LAKE | B. Ronning Went Through Ice with His Team and Wagon Near Star Island. Cass Lake, Jan. 21—(Special to Pioneer.)—Bernt Ronning, a home- steader living several miles north of Star island, . had a narrow escape yesterday from a watery grave near that island, while driving across the lake to town. The ice was considerably weak- ened after the recent thaw and when Ronning with his heavy team and sled approached Star island the ice began to snap. He paid little heed to itand finally wagon, team and driver were precipitated into the cold water. Ronning struggled fiercely and succeeded in crawling up on the pro- jecting ice to saftety. He then en- deavored to extricate the horses from their peril, but, single handed, he found he could do nothing. As quickly as possible, Ronning hastened to Cass Lake, a distance of about six miles, gathered up rope, pullies, and several men, and secur- ing a team, he drove in haste to where the unfortunate animals had broken through the ice. Upon their arrival at the place, the horses were found desperately fighting for their lives, although in an almost exhausted condition. The paraphernalia was soon put into action and after much work the horses were finally liberated from what almost proved to be a watery grave. A Snap in Pipes.

HAS ELEMENTS OF MELODRAMA Fire Destroys Crib in Lake at Chicago. SCORE OF MEN PERISH Employes Not Killed by Explosion Forced to Jump Into lcy Waters to Escape Death in the Flames—Tugs Hurry From Shgge and Rescue More Than Forty Survivors of the Disaster. Chicago, Jan. 21.—Twenty-three men lost their lives in a fire which destroyed the intermediate crib, one and a half miles from shore in Lake Michigan. Forty-seven, suffering from burns, cuts or immersion in the icy waters into which they jumped to save their lives, were rescued. The dead are supposed to be imprisoned in the tunnel under the crib. Death might have come either from fire smoke, an explosion of dynamite stored there or the shutting off of the air pipes. In the tunnel the men worked under air pressure. This statement of casualties was made by George W. Jackson, whose firm was constructing the intake tun- nel under the lake, of which the crib served as a base of operations. The fire lacked none of the ele ments of a melodrama. Sixty men, twenty of them at work in the tunnel under the crib, a few moving about the structure and others asleep in their bunks, were suddenly confronted by death. by an explosion of a powder magazine, which immediately wrapped the wooden structure in flames. Those who were not killed or injured by the first fiery blasts rushed out of doors to find no means of escape. An in- terrupted telephone message told of the fire and the tug Mulford was rushed to the assistance of the men in the crib. Scene a Terrible One. ‘When the tug reached the crib fran- tic victims of the fire, their hair singed off and their skins blackened, Wwere struggling in the water and ice. Some- of them fought against their rescuers only to sink unconscious on deck when forced aboard the tug. ‘When everybody in sight had been taken aboard a second muffled explo- sion was heard, probably marking the snuffing out of more lives in the tun- nel under the crib. The tug picked up twenty-nine men and hurriedly re- turned to shore. Other tugs picked up about twenty othér survivors. The crib is a temporary structure erected in the construction of a new three-mile tunnel into the lake for the ultimate purpose of adding to Chi- cago’s water supply. The first section of the tunnel is being dug from the shore at Seventy-third street. The crib marked the beginning of the sec- ond section extending further into the lake. It was used as the headquar- ters for supplies and men of the sec- ond section. The wooden material used in the crib made it an easy prey of the fire. Powder and dynamite used in blasting were both stored there. Ordinarily from sixty to sev- enty-five men were employed. They worked 1h shifts of eight hours each, eating on the premises and sleeping in the bunks with which the place was provided. A suspended tramway connected the crib with the shore. Tinmense buckets, suspended from heavy wire cables and worked by ma- chinery, carried supplies to the place. When the firc was first discovered an attempt was made by a few daring spirits to reach the crib in the buckets, but the motive mechanism failed to work and the attempt was abandoned.

Newman Erb end associates, who some time ago aoquired nptlons on a majority of the company’s stock, paid for these se- ourities. The deal involves betwesn $4,000, 000 snd $5, 000 000
