OFFICIALS. Referee—Lieut. Beavers, West Point. Umpire—Endsley, Purdue. Field Judge—Capr, King, West Point. g Head Linesman—Esterline, Pur- due, Minneapolis, Oct. 30.—(Special to Pioneer.)—The most important foot- it ST The West today was the annual contest between the Univer- sity of Minnesota and the University as the lineup of the the two Ehrhorn and Rademacher, of Chicago, which was scheduled to be played at Northrup Field, Minnea- polis, beginning at 2 o’clock this afternoon. It wasadmitted that Minnesota and Chicago were the most formida- ble candidates for the western cham- pionship, and the winner of today’s game will fight for the title with Wis- cousin. While Michigan plays Minnesota, the “Wolverines” have not renewed athletic relations with either Chicago or Wisconsin so that the coampionsnip fight is but a three-cornered affair, between Minne- soto, Chicago and Wisconsin. Minnesota started out this season with very bright prospects, and early games showed the eleven in mid-season form. The game- with- Nebraska, two weeks ago, resulted ; in putting out of the game perman-‘ ently for this season, the great hal back, Johnston, conceded the premxer back of the west, and also injuries to several other Gopher players that lessened the chances of Minnesota winning today: . However, given their services to -Minnesota during the past two weeks, with the result that sub players have been drilled unceasingly, until there has been. confidence given both players and students at the U. of M._that Minnesota would win today’s great battle. “Wolf stories” have been sent out from Chicago for two weeks past, to the effect that the Midway players. were in a bad shape, many being crippled; and it was reported that Stagg, coach of the Maroons, had unhesitatingly stated that he believed that Minnesota would win by a mreof29 to 0. These stories: were given no cre- dence, however, and when the Chi- cago players arrived in Minneapolis Thursday night they looked fit for the game of their lives. Northrup Field, Minneapolis, Oct. 30.—1 p. m—-Specnal to Pio- neer. )~Tl;e gates of Northrup Field were thrown open at noon today, so that the immense crowd could be hustled into the enclosure and seated without confusion, before 2 o ’clock, the hour set for the game to com mense. For fully an hour-before the gates were opened, a long line of people had formed, at the gates, eagetly awaiting the opportunity to get anv old kind of a ticket, it having been given out that nearly all tickets of every description had been “cleaned out” and there was every prospect of there being the largest crowd ever assembled to see a game in the west. The University band was out early, playing inspiring airs and marching about the field. The sections” of the big stands reserved for the rootérs soon re- sembled ‘a big sea of ‘maroon and gold. Thé Minnesota rooters wore gold skull caps, with maroon “M’s” that sh\ned brightly in the strong rays of “Old Sol.” = The “Gopher” rooters were lead by Rooter Kings, _Rathbun and- Mencke, assisted by Meyer of the Rooteli club, and soon | - songs and yells that were bound to mspire the Minnesota gladiators almunus coaches have with courage and confidence.

The first of a series of indoor concerts, which the Bemidji band will give this winter, was rendered 7| last night in the armory, and was attended by a fair-sized crowd. The concert was one of much merit and was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone present. A few features of the program deserving of special mention .are the baritone solo by Charles Cum- mer, and the vocal solos by Miss Dora Hanson and Andrew Rood. Mr. Rood sang"Off to Philadelphia,” an Irish song, and was dressed for and acted the part very well. He responded to an encore by singing “I Love You, Truly.” Professor Harry Masten, leader of the band, has done everything possible to give to Bemidji a first- class band and orchestra, and his efforts have met with splendid suc- cess. The Bemldp band, under the direction of Professor Masten, is rapidly rounding into form as one of the best high-class organizations of this character in northern Minne- sota; and local people are. proud of the advancement made by the band and the orchestra. The following is the program as rendered last night: March—"The Cantonions’ nder H. Gonnod Seng, witb Violin Obligato— Eternity”.... ..Angelo Mascheroni Miss Hanson, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Masten. March—"The Roller King”...........Andy Jurg INTERMISSION.

Lampe The following is the instrumenta- tion of the Bemidji band: Harry Masten, director; cornets, Oscar Lindell, Grant McClure, Harry Geil, Alex Ellison, Oscar Lar- son; clarionets, Hamline Anderson, Harry Bye, Dr. Larson; piccolo, Paul Fuelo; baritone, Charles Cummer, V. L. Ellis; trombones, Dr. Stanton, George Kinney, Tom Britton, Fred Bruce; altos, Frank Bennett, Walter Marcum, Don Shannon, Ernest Neumann; Saxaphoune, Charles Roman; Eb bass, W. B. McLachlan; Bb bass, A. B. Palmer; drums, Herbert Wood, George Rhea, Fred Chamberlain. 5 After the concert, a dance was given, which was attended by a Jarge crowd of young people. The band furnjshed the music and this, like all the ather band dances, was a success. . A number of peopls have been holding certain county warrants issued on the road and bridge fund, the payment of which has been held up pending the decision from the attorney general’s office relative to the legality of the warrants. There has been considerable correspondence between County Treasurer French and the attorney general’s office with reference to the pPdyment or non-payment of these warrants, with the result that Assist- ant attorney General Smith recom- mended the payment of one warrant and the refusal of the others “so that the paid warrant may be made a basis of an action against the county ina suit to recover, and thereby test the legality of the warrants. County Treasurer French on Octo- ber 15, wrote the attorney general’s office, giving a list of warrants allowed by the county commissioners and which were drawn by the county auditor for appropriations out of the road and bridge fund of the county for the several townships in the county for the purpose of building roads and bridges in these town- ships. There wasa total of twenty-eight warrants aggregating $7,450, and, continuing in his letter. County Treasurer French said: “Numbers 1726 and 2058 appear on the list made out by the county duditor for yourself and the Capitol National Bank of St. Paul, Minn., and the balance of the warrants do not appear on the list for some reason.. The -county auditor 'states that they were omitted by error, but should have appeared there as part of the outstanding indebtedness of Beltrami county prior to April 19, 1909. $7,450 ROAD AND BRIDGE WARRANTS ARE HELD UP Attorney General Rules to the Effect that the Court Should Determine Legality of Certain Warrants Issued on County Road and Bridge Fund. “Most of the townships have dis- posed of their warrants and have placed the money derived from the sale of them on the county roads and the warrants are held by private parties or banks and they are con- tinually asking for their money. “Kindly take this matter up at your earliest convenience and give me some instructions as to their payment.” Answering the letter of County Treasurer French, Lyndon A. Smith, assistant attorney general, writes Mr. French as follows: “In reply to your letter of October 15, relative to the payment of certain warrants, I have to advise you to pay warrant No.: 17158 and not to pay any of the other warrants mentioned in your letters, ‘if you have not done so. “The right to make -pp}opdutions, mentioned in your letter in reference to the appropriations to the ‘towns, depended on the condition of the county financies at the time and the investigation of the charges against the commissioners disclosed that all of these appropriations, unless pos- sibly that represented by warrant 2058, were made at a time when the finances of the county did not permit of such appropriations. “I hope that one of these warrants will be the basis of an action against the county forthwith, so that if there is any way in which these warrants can be paid there will be a decision to that effect. “I have no doubt but that these appropriations were profitably ex- pended in most cases and that the warrants are held by persons who have invested in them and should not be required to lose the amount of their investment except under absolute necessity of law.” EXTRA: FREIGHT TRAIN WRECKED AT FUNKLEY Wreck Caused By Open Switch.—All Passenger Trains Delayed Six to Eight Hours. While running ata high rate of speed to make a grade, a half mile south of the station at Funkley, at Funkley, at 4:30 yesterday after- noon, an ‘‘extra” M. &. I freight train struck a “disarranged switch, wrecking the tender of the locomo- tive and nine cars, and strewing wrecking for a distsnce of several bundred feet. The engine did not leave the rails, the tender uncoupling and rolling over several times and landing in the ditch below. The cars (nine in number) behind the engine piled up promiscuously, with the contents being indiscriminitely mixed like sausage meat. The engine was occupied by Engi- neer Bridgeman and his fireman, and they are thanking their lucky star that they were not killed. Had the engine followed the tender and left the track, they would undoubtedly have been terribly mangled, as there was no possible chance to jump. The accident was caused by a switch not being properly closed. An engine went into the switch to allow the freight to pass, one of the *‘points” of the switch not closing, and when the freight came along, deraillment was certain. Fortunately, no one was injured. The evening train was run to the south side of the wreck, and awaited the arrival.of the south-bound night train on the north side of the wreck, when a transfer was made and the evening train was run south, ar- riving in Bemidji this morning at about 4:30. The night train from the north got througn this forenoon and arrived in Bemidji at 10:30.
