Today's Game Important. Many Bemidjites today exhibited great interest in the Wisconsin-Min- nesota football game which was held at Randall Field, Madison, this afternoon, and the Pioneer was be- sieged all afternoon with telephone messages requesting news of the game, there being several graduates of both Minnesota and Wisconsin Universities who live in Bemidji. Speculation was rife asto just who would play at the quarterback position for Minnesota, several be- ing convinced that Dr. Williams would spring a surprise on Wisconsin and play McGovern; but that was hardly likely as those who know of the injury the doughty Gopher captain received in the game against Chicago were certain that he was not able to play this after- noon, Wisconsin has always played more desperately against Minnesota than any of her other opponents, and to beat the Gophers has always been the one thing desired at the Wis- consin U. The Wisconsin players have been drilled early and late dur- ing the past two weeks, andl espite “bear” stories sent out from Madi- son, the Badgers were in excellent condition. The Minnesota players have real- ized what they were up against in Wisconsin, and they have been played unceasingly at practice that Tafi'every evdning until after dark. The loss of Johnston and Mc- Govern has weakened Minnesota very much, but the Gophers pos- sessed the fighting spirit and went to Madison determined to win the western championship. % Miserable weather conditions had made the grounds at *Randall field quite heavy, which it was believed would materially help the chances of the heavy Minnesota team. HEARTY WELGOME GIVEN MINISTER AND TEAGHERS Methodist Ladies’ Aid in Charge of Reception at Baptist Church Last Evening. At the Baptist church last even- ing, a formal reception and hearty welcome was extended to the Metho- dist pastor, Rev. Charles E. White, and his wife and also to the new teachers of the local public schools.

Contests. i Samuel G. Iverson, state -auditor, has taken cognizance of the com- munication from J. W. Hilliard, recently published in the Pioneer, relative to the state "swamg land” controversy and writes a letter to the editor of the Pioneer as follows: *‘St. Paul, Nov. 11. “Mr. A. G: Rutledge, Bemidji,Minn. “My Dear Mr. Rutledge:—Thanks for your - kindness in sending copy of ‘Pioneer’ and also for giving so much space to the reports of Duncan and Otterstad, also thank you for copy of Mr. Hilliard’s ‘story. © From your standpoint, it was entirely right that you should give him all the space that he wanted. He de- votes a great deal of space to me, and:T-am-sure that she is-givieg me entirely too much credit. I read his story carefully- and fail to find one suggestion for the future. “I have for years urged the neces- sity of building roads in northern Minnesota where we have such large amounts of state lands, and it is exceedingly unfortunate that the Supreme court has decided that the legislature is prohibited ftom build- ing such roads, dr helping to do so, under the present constitution. “My suggestion for the future is that the constitution be amended so that this money can be used at the discretion of the legislature to help improve northern Minnesota, and the large area of state lands now a burden, in fact, to the pioneer home- builder. “Regarding swamp land contests, a healthy public sentiment in every township ip the state will sustain me in my efforts to prevent timber pirates from getting our lands under pretext of homesteading and home- building, or as Mr. Culkin of Du- luth calls it, ‘comstructive home- steaders.’ “Mr. Culkin, as a former receiver of the U. S. land office at Duluth for many years, is competent to. pass judgment in these matters, and he says that 70 per cent of the swamp land contests are not bona fide, 15 per cent may be in good faith, but for ~the purpose of acquiring the timber for timber sale, and ‘only 15 per cent” are really intending to settle and make homes on their claims. “T appreciate your courtesy to me in this matter, and hope that some good will come . from'it -in the end. The questions are of great import- ance, and 'we: should endeavor to prevent a proposition giving some relief to the next Legislature. “Very truly yours, “—S. G. Iverson “State Auditor.” Successful Trip for Pioneer. V. L. Ellis, solicitor for the Be- midji Pioneer and the Pioneer Print- ery, returned this morning from a very successful business trip to Ten- strike, Blackduck, Funkley and Kelliher; where he was getting busi- nesgagfor this company. sar. Ellis was successful in collect! ing a nice bunch. of money due th Pioneer and was also given some fat orders to be filled from the Pioneer Printery’s large ‘stock of stationery and supplies; as well as calepdars, the latter being a specialty of the Pioneer. Judging from the warmth of the reception tendered. Mr.. Ellis, the Pioneer has a lot of real friends “up north,” and the management extends thanks for the courtesies extended our representative. OLE HALVORSON BAKKE NOT YET APPREHENDED Ofticers Unable to Find Any Clue to Whereabouts of Would-be Murderer. Ole Halvorson Bakke, . whose fiendish attempts to assassinate his wife and kill all of her family have created terror among his im- mediate relatives, is still a fugitive from justice, and it is believed he has made good his escape from this section of the country. Sheriff Hazen and Deputy Sheriff Johnson have conducted a thorough search in an attempt to locate Bakke, but dispite their best efforts no trace of the man with the gun can be found anywhere in Beltrami county. 7 Bakke was seen at Lavinia, on the northeast shore of Lake Bemidji last week just after he had made a fiendish attempt to kill the parents of Mrs. Bakke by shooting through their home and later attempting to burn the building. Many false clues have been fol- lowed in- an -attempt to capture Bakke, but in every instance no real trace of the man could be found, and it is believed that he has wandered through the woods until he has gotten well out of Beltrami county. . The only person who is certain that Bakke was the man who shot Mrs. Bakke and afterwards attempted to kill the parents of Mrs. Bakke, is Martin Reisland, father of Mrs. Bakke. Mr. Reisland saw Bakke very distinctly the night he was shooting up the Reisland home and was setting fire to the building. “‘Mr. Reisland shiotat “Bakke seve{ eral times, but’ apparently none of the shots took effect. Bakke has borne the reputation of being a dissolute character for some time past. ‘He served thirty days in the Beltrami county jail last summer on account of whipping his wife, and the latter part of July left here for Hatton, N. D. He has not been seen sinfe that time by anyone except Mr. Reisland. Additional last page. lecal matter on FORTY CENTS PER MONTH. LIQUOR IS CONFISCATED AT CASS LAKE THIS P. M. Special Officer Larson and His l’c’mr Associates Raid Base- ment of Endion Hotel and Remove Barrels and Cases of “Booze.” Cass Lake, Nov. 13.—3 p. m.— (Special to Pioneer.)—Early this afternoon, H. A. Larson, special officer of the Indian department, and four associate officers confis- cated several barrels of whisky and brandy, as well as several cases of bottled whisky, gin, etc, in the basement of the Endion hotel, and carrying the liquor out of the hotel broke the barrels and cases and emptied their contents into the street, totally destroying liquor said to be valued at fully $2,000. The liquor was the property of William Kirchhof of this city, and had been stored in the Endion base- ment, after having been removed from the county, later being brought back to Cass Lake. Kirchhof was one of the local saloonkeepers who was affected by the order of the Indian department, which went into effect October 27th, which put all saloons in the village out of business except those at the Hotels Endion and Tedford. Kirchhof moved his liquor to Farris, four miles west of Cass Lake, in Hubbard.co‘unty,but later ‘brought it back to Cass Lake and stored it in the basement of the Endion hotel. Yesterday, Special Officer Larson visited Cass Lake and told both Kirchhof and Samuel Sutor (the latter owner of the Endion) to re- move the liquoror destroyit. No attention was paid, apparently, to the order of Mr. Larson, with the result that the special officer and his associates arrived in the city on the 1 o’clock train today and went to the Endion Hotel, where they de- manded the key to the basement, and after gaining admittance seized the liquor and destroyed it. It is claimed by some parties that there was an agreement between Sutor and Kirchhof concerning the liquor, but this is denied by Sutor. —_— Funeral Sunday Afternoon.
