CUMLINS ACGUSED OF VERY GRAVE CRIME The Graceton Man Was Arrested at Winnipeg, on a Charge of Manslaughter. Spooner, Jan. 18 —(Special correspondence to Pioneer.) J. C. Comlins of Graceton, Minn. (well known in Bemidji), timberman of the north country, was arrested at Darwin, Man,, on the charge of manslaughter, ac- cording to information which has been received here. The facts as reported in Spooner are to the effect that Mr. Comlins is operating a lumber camp eight miles from Darwin. He employed some forty men, having hired them at the station. As the dis- tance to the camp from the station was eight miles, Mr. Comlins did not deem- it necessary to take the men to the camp by team and the lumberjacks ¢‘hoofed” it. According to reports, the men started out, but some of them g | being the worse for liquor, they K | lost their way and returned to the starting point, Comlins was in the lead in walking to the camp, which all of reached ' except one. Search was made for the missing E | lumberjack, who was found near O'Leary-Bowser Company| the trail, frozen to death. The = Manitoba . government made the allegation-that Comlins should have taken his men to his camp by team, and a charge of manslaughter was lodged against 7 gy Comlins, who gave bondsin the sum of $4,000 and is now at liberty. | The Modern Brotherhood of America held thair installation of officers at the 1.0, G, T.

Bemidji people who are official- ly poor will hereafter be compel- led to curtail their fastideous ap- petites to the necessaries of life in- stead of being furnished luxuries. the city council, at the meeting held last evening, going emphatic- ally on record that all of the luxu-| ries which have been furnished, the poor- are not -necessities” and in- structing those in charge of the poor to limit the provision of sup- plies to the actual necessaries of life. In this connection the bill rendered by Charles Nangle in the sum of $16.75, for ¢‘groceries for the poor,” which included candies, etc,, caused' a general debate on the subject of proper assistance to the needy. A motion was passed that the merchants of the city be instructed to hereafter furnish only the actual necessities of life to the poor, No luxuries would be tolorated. Theordinance establishing the new fire limits of the city was ‘given its third reading and passed. This ordinance extends the fire limits of the city to include Blocks 11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19 20-21. In connection with the extension of the fire limitsa communication was read trom the fire department requesting a requisition on the city for nozzles, fire axss, etc. The firemen also requested permission to place hose, etc., at the corner of Doud and Twelfth, where 1he ap- paratus would be easy of access in case of fire in the extreme north end of the city—the residents of that section agreeing to furnish proper quarters for caring for the apparatus, The requisition was granted and permission given for storing the required paraphernalia at Twelfth and Doud, The council also or- dered tires to be placed on th hose wagon. 5 The council appointed judges as follows, for the city election which will be held on March 135: First ward - - R.

BILLINGS HANDED “BIG BEMIDG” A 33-14 DEFEAT for the| Bemidji Played Fast in First Half.—Billings Strong in Team Work and Accruate in Passing Ball and Shooting Baskets. TONIGHT'S LINE-UP. "Big Bemidg"- ’ Nord .. TWO GAMES TONIGHT. The two teams will play a second game at the armory this evening, when “Big Bemidg" will attempt to even the series by taking the game. The contests are exciting and hard- fought, and are well worth seeing, As the local management has gone to a big expense to get this famous team here, there should be a large crowd at tonight's game, The Company K and High school basketball teams will play a game preliminery to the Billings-Bemidji game. This game will be called at 8 o'clock and the big game will be called immediately after the pre- liminary game. Bold, bad, “Boosting Billings Basketball” bunch beat “Big Bemidg” badly—score, Billings 33, Bemidji 14. First half—Billings 10, Bemidji 8. Trained to the minute and in fine physical condition, and displaying team work that was of a high order, thie Billings basket ball team, which is touring the east, defeated the “Big . Bemidg” quint, last evening, at the armory, in a game that was hard-fought from start to finish, and which necessitated the visiting players extending themselves to their best ability. The game was far from being a one-siged affair, in the early stages of the contest, and had Bemidji shown better concerted playing, the result'would have been much closer. The locals were. inclined to indi- vidual playing, the passing of the ball not being the best, and the forwards oft times shooting at the basket when a pass to another player would have given a much easier try for scoring. The “Big Bemidg” players were fast and they played the game desperately, but lack of practice and familiarity with each other told against them, and their efforts were often productive of poor results, The visiting team. showed the training of a master hand.. They did not depend on individual play- ing, but were very proficiert in pas- sing the ball, and their signals were never conflicting. While they were Billings— (Capt.) Markham given a gruelling contest in the first half, their superior physlcal condi- tion told in the second half and they sprung a number of plays that took Bemidji players off their feet. They did honor to their coach and manager, E. P. Neill, the ex- Red Wing player, who has drilled his men for several weeks in advanced style of basketball, and the victories of the team are a credit to his efforts. The “Big Bemidg” team was somewhat disturbed at the start, Brown, captain, declining to play. The team lined up with Nord and Dick as forwards, Heffron center, and Gill and McElmeel guards. The visitors used their regular line-up, with Markham and Salsbury for- wards, Todd center, Dudley and Wickstrom guards. It looked as though *‘Big Bemidg” would more than hold their own, at the start, as the playing was mostly in the visitors’ territory, but when the local players missed a great many tries for baskets, it was seen_ that Bemidji was handicapped ‘in the matter of throwing baskets. The visitors were very proficient in scor- ing and but few of their throws went wild, the half ending 10to 8, in favor of Billings. The strenuous playing of the first half told on Bemidji, and the Bill- ings bunch got the jump in the second balf and continued to out- play their opponents, making 23 points to 6 for Bemidji. The playing of Joe Markham, the old Bemidji boy, was of a high order, and his many friends in the audienee cheered him lustily. Roy Lindsay acted as referee. A pleasing feature of the game was the music furnished by Prof. Harry Masten’s orchestra,” which played prior to the game and between halves, and which was given hearty applause for their most excellent work. The dance which was given after the game was fairly well attended. The music was fine, and from a social standpoint, the “hop” was all that could be desired. Subscribe for The Pioneer.
