A Lang vs. THE BEMIDJ1I D LY PIONEER: MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY, VOLUME 7. NUMBER 97. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 11, 1909. FORTY CENTS PER MONTH. SMALL-GAME SEASON WILL OPEN SEVEN DAYS LATER Last Legislature Changed Date fram September 1 to Sep- tember 7, for Certain Bi irds and Fowls.—Season for Partridges Remains the Same. As the editor of the Pioneer has been the recipient of many inquiries from hunters as to whether the last legislature made any changes in the opening of the season for shooting game birds, we herewith give the dates for the opening of the various seasons for the hunting of both “water and land” game birds: Open season for snipe, prairie chicken, pinnated, white breasted or sharp-tailed grouse, wood cock, upland and golden plover, between September 7 and November 7. Wild duck of any variety, brant or any variety of aquatic fowl whatever, between September 7 and December 15 It will be seen by the above that the open season for tne hunting of the birds and fowls mentioned has been changed to begin on Sep- tember 7, instead of September 1, the latter having been the law prior to the last session of the legislature. The open season for the hunting of quail, partridge, ruffed grouse or pheasant other than Mongolian, Chinese, ring-neck or English pheasant, remains the same as here- tofore, being from October 1 to December 1, “And when any of the birds men- tioned have been lawfully caught, taken, killed or had in possession within the time allowed, they may be had in possession for five days thereafter. “But no personshall in any one day take or kill more than fifteen birds or have in his possession at any one time more than forty-five turtle dove, prairie chicken, white- breasted or sharp-tailed grouse or pheasant, woodcock, upland or golden plover, or any or all of the same combined, or fifty snipe, wild duck, goose, brant or any variety of aquatic fowl, whatever, or any or all of the same combined. “Any person caught killing, sell- ing or having in his possession any birds out of season will be subject toa fine of from $10 to $100 or a sentence of from ten to sixty days in the county jail for each bird.” ' The above is a synopsis of the state game and fish laws, and is given that no innocent parties may unintentionally violate any of the provisions.

Stanton is presiding at a term of court which is being held in this city and which will probably continue for the balance of the week. No jury is in attendance, all of the cases being “‘court cases.” The attention of the court, for the past few days, has been occupied in hearing the case of F. A. A. Carter. This case arises from a former partner- ship between Messrs. Lang and Carter, Mr. Lang suing for a settle- ment of the partnership. The case was heard and taken un- der advisement by the court. Chester McKusick acted as at- torney for Mr. Lang while Mr. Carter was represented by Attorneys McDonald and Russell. Another important case is on trial before M. J. Daly of Perham, who was appointed referee to take the testimony in the case, being that of Ostrum & Swanson vs. T. H. Mackey and Dora Mackey. The plaintiffs in this case were merchants at Farris and the defend- antsare owners of real estate and do considerable logging near that place. This suit is on an open account running for over two years, the plaintiffs claiming a little over $3,000. The defendants set up a counter-claim and asked for a judgment of nearly $2,000 in their favor. Dora Mackey, one of the defendants, asks for a separate judg- ment of $350. Coppenmoll & Woolley of Park Rapids are attorneys for the plain- tiff and Fred W. Smith of Cass Lake is representing the defendants. The evidence in this case is prin- cipally documentary; and will take several days to complete this case BLACKDUCK ! Blackduck,Aug. 11.— Special cor- respondence of the Pioneer.) N.

The state rested this forenoon and the defense of certain charges were taken up this afternoon. The past two days have been oucupied in looking up documentary evidence as to whether or not bills allowed in 1907 against the road and bridge fund were contracts made by the board in 1907, or dur- ing previous years, it being the contention of the defense that bills allowed in 1907 for 1906 or previous years is not chargable against the board as its official actsaf 1907.

Cash & Hine’s Carnival company this morning began a four-days’ engagement in Bemidji, under any- thing but auspicious conditions. With leaden skies and rain threatening, but few transients were in the city, people from the country being fearful of getting wet if they came to the city. The carnival company isa good one. There are some ninety people with the company, seventy of whom are regular employes of Cash & Hine, the others being in charge of the different stands, etc. The car- nival people are orderly and well- conducted, and irom present indi- cations their stay in the city will be nothing but a pleagenl visit here. The Cash & Hine Carnival com- pany have the following shows; “Glass Show,” “Old Maids’ Con- vention,” “Shenandoah,” “Pharaoh’s Daughter,” “Crazy House,” “Big Edna,” In addition to the shows there is a big Ferris wheel and a merry-go- round. The carnival company carries a concert band, which is directed by Professor Leon. The company has several “free” acts, which are very good and which will be given during the week. Eddie Cole does the sensational leap-the-gap act. He surmounts a high scaffold and rides a bicycle down a very steeply-inclined board track and leaps a chasm of from twelve to fifteen feet, lands on the bicycle and rides off of the incline without injuring himself. It is an exceedingly sensational act. Albert and Fredie Kitz do a very clever acrobatic turn. “Diablo, the Human another feature free act. “Marvelous Brooks,” the boneless man, is a contortionist of more than average merit. The rain of yesterday caused a postponemet of the carnival, but Harry Weiler, the general manager of the carnival company, hopes that Jupiter Pluvius will “let up a bit” and give the crowds a chance to see the “big show.” Frog,” is Mrs. Tanner came to the city last evening from Minneapolis for a visit here of several days.
