VOLUME 6. NUMBER 241. BASKETBALL GAME WITH GRAND RAPIDS TONIGHT Manager of the Grand Rapids Team Insinuates That They Can Put Up a Rough Game, if the Locals Act That Way. *'Big Bemidg” will face the Grand Rapids basketball team on the floor of the Coliseum itomorrow evening in what will probably be one of the hotest games of the season. “Big Bemidg” will play with all her regular men back in their old positions. Joe Markham, one of the stars, will “be there” at forward, after being absent from the last two games. Geil will assist Markham in making the baskets, while Bid- dinger and Peterson will be placed at guard and Brown will occupy the center. With the Bemidii boys playing in the above positions, the locals are fairly confident of defeating the fast team from the east. The line-up of the Grand Rapids| " five has not been sent here, but it is definitely known that Jerome Meyers, the redoutable football player, is captain and is playing on the “Rapids” team. The “Rapids” had always defeated Bemidji in all sorts of - athletics until the Bemidji High handed them a never-to-be-forgotten package of defeat in football last fall. The “Rapids” boys fully expected to keep Bemidji at the small end of victory for all time but the foot- ball season changed the tide, and now “Big Bemidg” will do their best to add another victory over the “invincibles.” In a recent letter from the mana- ger of the Grand Rapids team, he stated that they would send a fast team here which would guarantee the public a good game. The manager said, in regard to rough playing, that his team has a kind of “rep” in that direction itself and he was confident of being able to give Big Bemidg” a hearty game. If the management of the local basketball interests can secure the support of a good-sized crowd at this game, the way will be clear to get the splendid Duluth Y. M. C. A. team here soon. Warrants Not Signed. A. W. Danaher, chairman of the board of county commissioners was in the city Tuesday for the purpose of signing warrants allowed by the board at their annual January meet- ing. To the Pioneer Mr. Danaher stated that he was not in a position to sign these warrants until the legaliy of the bills had been o. k’'d by the county attorney. Mr. Danaher further stated that his action in refusing to sign the warrants was in accordance with a resolution passed by the board to the effect that all bills were allowed, subject to the approval of the county attorney as to their legality, and that no warrants could be signed until that resolution had been com- plied with by the county attorney.

He has authorized no one to use his name in connection with any order for fashion books. Tne man has sold the journals at a number of places and has already collected the money in advance. There seems to be little doubt but that the books will not be delivered. —St. Cloud Journal Press.

For the second time yesterday, an alarm of fire was sent in about 6 o’clock last evening and the fire department was called to 623 First street south, where the flames were rapidly destroying the residence of John Pickles. Through some mistake, the fire| department was called to the corner of the Miles Block and ran out 100 yards of hose before the error was discovered. The fire at the Pickles’ home was started in the parlor from the overturning of a lamp. * Most of the house was destroyed and all the furniture lost before the fire could be extinguished. ‘The house; which belonged to O. S. Huset, was valued at $600 and was damaged to the amount of $300. The furniture was almost a total loss but is partially covered by insurance. Moral: Insure in the T. J. Miller Insurance Agency.

Bagley, Jan. 28,—(Spec.ial to Pion- eer)—The general térm of district court for Clearwater County conven- ed bere Tuesday morn ing with Judge McClenahan of Brainerd on the bench.

St. Paul, Jan. 28, 8:40 A. M.— (Special to Pioneer.)—The scheme of the Cass Lake supporters to have committee from the House and the Senate normal school committees visit the towns which want the loca- ‘tion of the sixth normal school will be strongly opposed when a resolu- tion is offered in the house to appro- priate money to pay the expenses of such a junket., The Senate committee has not yet considered the normal bills, nor has it acted upon the suggestion of the House commitiee to appoint a joint committee to partlclpate in a junket. It is the intention of the support- ers of a general bill to expose the scheme of the “junket, which has for its purpose a report by the junketil_xg committee favorable to Cass Lake. Geuneral objection is made to the, methods of McGarry and his sup- porters to locate the school before one is established, and it is believed that only snap judgment could possibly be formed by such a brief visit as is contemplated. Unison of the towns in support of a general bill has made friends of western towns for Bemidji in other matters outside of the normal school contest and the Bemidji delegation. has been highly complimented onm the fairness and loyalty displayed by Messrs. Berg, Rutledge, Lycan, White, Ritchie, Mackenzie and others who have been here. The fight will be continued, and Cass Lake supporters are beginning to realize that their strength of a few days ago is waning. There are reasors for some of the opposition to the general bill which cannot be explained now, but which will be ‘fully aired at the end of the present session. It is expected that the senate committee on normal schools will grant a hearing on the general bill today and set the time for hearing in the very near future. —A. G. Rutledge. WAS BOUND OVER FOR LARGENY: AT GASS LAKE Hanger-On at “‘Lake” Borrowed Money from Friend and Forgot to Return. Cass Lake, Jan. 27.—(Special to Piotieer-)—Harry O’Connor, a ‘fa-]'° miliar character around -here, was today bound over to the grand jury at the next term of the district court to face a charge of larceny. His bail was fixed at $300. Thus far he has been unable to secure a bondsman, The crime, for which O’Connor is held, was committed here yester- day, the charge being made by Pat- rick O’Shea, a lumberjack. It appears that the two were out for “a little time” and O’Connor ran shy” on money. The lumberjack had a five dollar bill @nd he gave it to O’Connor to purchase two bottles of beer. O!Connor forgot to get the beer and also forgot to bring the money back. - The lumberjack had patience for a while but when he back, he called on the court, had O’Connor arrested, and furnished sufficient evidence to induce the judge that it was a case of larceny. The prisioner will be taken to Walker tomorrow. Two Divorces Granted. Judge B. F. Wright of Park Rapids held a special session of the district court for Beltrami County in the local chambers yesterday. Very few matters of any impor- tance were taken up with the excep- tion of two divorce cases, Christiana Longcoy vs. Frank Longcoy and Alice E. Warren vs. Adelbert L. Warren, divorce being granted’ to both applicants. The former case was asked for on the grounds of desertion and drunkeness and the latter because of unfaithfulness. -~ 1909 Diaries.
