Pioneer Resident of Liberty Township Died in Minneapolis Last Fri- day.—Was Popular. The body of Henry Becker, a pioneer resident of Liberty town- ship, was buried in Greenwood cemeteyr yesterday afternoon, the obsequies being attended by a large number of relatives and friends who paid their last respects to the memory of the deceased. Henry Becker died at the University hospital at Miuneapolis last Friday, having been taken to Minneapolis the day previous. He had been ailing for the past three years and had failed rapidly during the last two months. His death was not unexpected, but the announcement of his final end was something of a shock. The body was brought - to Bemidji Sunday and taken to the home of the deceased, on the shore of Campbell lake. Funeral ser- vices were held at the home yester- day forenoon, Rev. Theo, Buenger of Cass Lake officiating, the body being brought to Bemidji for burial. Henry Becker was the first resident to make his home in Liberty township, where he located some fifteen years ago. He had always been prominently 1ndenti- fied with the affairs of his town- ship, and has always been a mem ber of the town board of super- visors, He was also a member of the school board of his district and served as an official on this board continuously, with the ex- ception of one or two terms, Henry Becker decided opinions, was a man _of strong in his likes and dislikes, but was. known as a loyaland true friend and a staunch and reliable citizen, Deceased was about 40 years of age. He was single and his parents made their home with him, at his farm residenée, Campbell lake, at SECOND ENTERTAINMENT FOR BENEFIT FIREMEN Will Be Given at City Opera House This Evening, by a Good Company. The second number in the series of entertainments which are being given under the auspices of the Bemldji fire department to help swell the tournament fund will be given at the City Hall this evening by the Eileen Maguire company, under the management of John Hutchinson. This company is composed of three entertainers, and is spoken of very highly. The leader of the company is Miss Eileen Maguire, the great con- tralto soloist of the City Temple, London, England, who has won international fame as a soloist, and she is assisted by Miss Lucy Web- ling, entertainer; and Walter Mc- Raye, humorist. Of Miss Maguire, the Edinburg Scotsman says: *“The young singer’s clear bird-like notes won approbation at once. Her superb contralto voice thrilled the audience and her style was a revela- tion. The range and quality of her voice are quite out of the ordinary, whilst she shows evidence of the best trammz and nntural voice pro- duction.” The Lundon Daily Telegraph says of Miss Lucy Webling: “She has the quaintest knack of telling stories in a way calculated to make the most serions laugh.” The Vancouver World says of Mr. McRaye: : “Mr. McRaye's rendering of Little Bateese’ was one of the daintiest and most humanizing bits of stagework we have seen for many a day.” The proceeds of these entertain- ments will be given to the fund for holding the firemen’s tournament in Bemidji next June, a very worthy object, and they should be liberally patronized. The firemen have more season as well as single tickets which they desire to sell, and the public should respond liberally. COMLINS SUES WINNIPEG TRIBUNE $5000 DAMAGES Was Accused of Manslaughter, and Is Now Going After the Cana- "dian Paper. The Rainy "River Region of Baudelte publishes the following account of the retaliation of J. C. Comlins, an account of whose ar- rest on the charge of manslaughter was pubilshed in yesterday’s Pio- neer: «Comlins is evidently going to fight back as hard as he can, and has instructed his attorney, N.” E. Hagel, to sue the Winnipeg Tri- bune for $5,000 for alleged libel. It was stated by the Tribune MAJESTIC THEATER EDW.

THREE SHOWS NIGHTLY 7:30 8:30 9:30 that last year Comlins was selling liquor without a license at Grace ton, Minn., and that one night a man named Harry Smith after drinking freely at the place went out and lost his life on the railroad track, “It was futher stated as a result of the inquest Comlins was held responsible for the death of Smith and was charged with manslaughter, from which charge it was said he escaped on a technicality. “After that it was alleged that the charge of selling liquor with- out a license was laid against him. ¢“In the draft of the action for damages this story is entirely denied. Itis admitted that Comlins lived at Graceton and that he owns there the general store, the blacksmith shop, the schoolhouse and the saloon. «The saloon, Comlins states, has a license, and had one at the time referred to in the article; and more- over it was merely owned and not operated by Comlins, who held the position of landlord only, ¢+Acharge was laid against Com- lins for blind pigging but he claims the grand jury failed to make a finding.” «It is further claimed in the action that Comlins was never tried for manslaughter, nor charged with it, nor suspected of it.” Elk Meeting Thursday Night. Regular meeting of Bemidji Lodge, No. 1052, B. P. O. Elks, Thursday night, Jan. 20. All Elks should be present. F. S. Lycan, E. R. WOODMEN AND NEIGHBORS HAD JOINT INSTALLATION There Was Speechmaking, a Fine Lunch, and Everybody Danced At the Finish. The Royal Neighbor and Wood- men lodges of the city held a joint installation of officers last night at a meeting that was one of the most noteworthy and enjoyable sessions in the history of these orders. The officers of both lodges were in- stalled, there was a social session, and the affair closed with dancing, in which all participated. I. N. Foster acted as installing officer for the Woodmen, of which organization W. J. McCawley is the venerable counsel, and the work was nicely done. Mrs. W ]J. McCawley, daputy grand oracle, installed the Royal Neighbor officers, Mrs. O. E. Jack- son being the oracle. ’ During the session speeches were made by J. J. Jenkinson and W. J. McCawley, which were oratorical efforts indicative of much ability. H. A. Whitney acted as chef, and he furnished an oyster supper that Mrs. McCawley asserts was a little the best she ever ate. When the business of the evening had been disposed of, Mrs. Stafford, musician for the Neighbors, offici- ated at the piano and the dance was “on” W. J. McC‘Awley‘ acted as prompter, and when * Mac' » “grand right and left” and ‘swing your partners’” fesounded through the hall in stentorian tonmes, there was a lively scramble and ‘“‘something doing” in-the way of dancing that only -enthusiastic terpsichorean art- ists can execute, Tbe meeting was a fine one, and all were pleased.

Tke Billings basketball team handed the ¢Big Bemidg” team a last night, marked by second defeat, in a in which the Billings players showed superior physical condition and staying qualities, which was a big factor in winning the game, the final score of which was 20 to 14, in favor of Billings, . Floyed Brown, the big captain of the Big Bemidg” team was in the line-up last night, for the first half and part of the second half, and his playing was one of the features of the ccntest. Brown’s presence in the game gave the locals confidende, and they fought to the best ot their ability from the start of the referee’s whistle. The locals outplayed the visit- ors in the first half of the game, the half resulting 12 to 10, in fa vor of Bemidji, and it looked as though the famous. bunch from Montana were to suffer their first defeat on their present invasion of the east, During the intermission between the halves, E. P. Neill, manager of the Billings team, gave his pro- teges a serious talk, with theresult that they went into the second half with renewed vigor, their splendid physical condition giving them stamina to stand the swift pace set by Bemidji, . Two baskets were shot with swiftness that fairly took Bemidji off their feet, and the locals were guarded so closely that they were kept from scoring field baskets, although a great many throws barely escaped being scores, luck being with the visitors, who are very accurate in their throwing. When Brown retired, Dick went in as forward and Héffron went back as guard, Nord going in as center. The ckanges of positions did not work well, and Bemidji did not score, During the second half, Billings scored 10 points, Bemidji being given one point and throwing one foul basket, making 2 scores. Final score, 20 to 14. Prof. Robinson gave excellent satisfaction as referee. High School Team Won. Prior to the game between Bill- ings and “Big Bemidg,” the Bemidji High School team played against a team’ of players picked up in the building, the school boys winning, by a score of 16 to 8.
