BEMIDJI BOWLERS WON GAMES FROM GASS LAKE In Five-Game Contest, Last Night, Visitors Lost All Games But the First. The Bemidji bowlers got ‘“‘sweet revenge” on the Cass Lake ten pin artists, in this city last night, in a] series of five games, all of which, with the exception of the opening contest, were won by Bemidji, by a comfortable margin of scores. A week ago the Cass Lake team defeated Bemidji, by a score of ten pins; and last night Bemidji wiped out the sting of the former defeat, winning from the Cass Lakers by a score of 3997 for Bemidji to 3787 for Cass Lake, the local bowlers being 210 pins in the lead. Bemidji was represented by the following: Jackson (captain), Mal- zahn, Donaldson, Grover and Howe. Cass Lake: Burns, Ittner, Finnessy, Keating, Olson. The scores of last night’s games were as follows: First game—Cass Lake, 787; Be- midji, 782. Second game—Bemidji, 846; 'Cass Lake, 778. Third game —Bemidji, 792; Cass Lake, 701. Fourth game—Bemidji, 803; Cass Lake, 766. Fifth game—Bemidji, 774; Cass Lake, 755. Total—Be- midji, 3997; Cass Lake, 3787. It it the intention of the two bowling teams to play a third series of five games, at Cass Lake, in the very near future, BENA MERGHANT LOSES TWO TEAMS OF HORSES Men Who Were Driving Horses Across Lake Winnibigoshish Narrowly Escaped Being Drowned, Cass Lake, March 23.—(Special to Pioneer.)—Word came from Bena today that two teams of heavy work horses owned by Ernest Flemming, the Bena logger and merchant, were drowned in Lake Winnibigoshish this forenoon, and that two heavy loads of supplies were lost, while loads narrowly escaped losing their lives. It appears that the men attempted to cross the lake with the two teams hauling heavy loads of supplies for logging camps, and that while nearing the opposite shore, the loads broke through the ice precipitating the horses and loads and the drivers into the water. The men swam out, after a hard struggle, but the teams and the supplies and wagons were lost. The teams and supplies lost were valued at about $2000. Patrick Clifford, a pioneer resi- dent of Cass Lake, died this morn- ing, death resulting from tuber- culosis. Mr. Clifford was 62 years of age, and he had been sick for two years past. AGQUITTED OF VIOLATING THE STATE GAME LAWS Martin Heinzelman, Custodian Itasca State Park, Given Trial at Park Rapids Yesterday. At Park Rapids yesterday, Martin Heinzelman, custodian of the Itasca State Park, was acquitted of the charge of having killed a deer with- in the confines of the state park, the trial being strenuously coutested. Mr. Heinzelman was arrested some two weeks ago, being specific- ally charged with having pursued and killed a deer within the confines of Itasca State Park. At the preliminary assignment Mr. Heinzelman plead not guilty, and the case was set for trial yester- day. C. W. Scrutchin of Bemidji appeared as counsel for Mr. Heinzel- man, and Mr. Woolley of Park Rapids, county attorney of Hubbard county, prosecuting. The defend- ant demanded a jury trial and the case was decided in his favor. JUDGE BAILEY BETTER. At 3 o'clock this afternoon, Dr. Rowland Gilmore, Physician attend- ing Judge H. W. Bailey, issued the following bulletin to the Pioneer: “Mr. Bailey's condition is some- what better today. He is resting comfortably, taking a reasonmable amount of nourishment, and is per- fectlv rational. Marked improve- ment in condition of the limbs of the left side." ONLY VERY FEW CANDIDATES IN SOME OF SUB-DISTRICTS There Is a Grand Chance For Many New Entrants to Win Where the Contestants Are Few and Far Between. Enter Your Name Today and Profit By the Apathy of Others.---This Is An Unexcelled Opportunity. When you woke up this morning, did you not feel that there was something that must be done today? If youdid, you had just the right feeling. That kind of feeling that every wide-awake, energetic person has. Then you probably remembered that you wanted to enter-the Be- midji Pioneer’s mammoth prize con- test and that you must do it before night. If you have still neglected to send in yonr name to the con- test department. You will wake again tomorrow with that same feel- ing of having neglected your duty and left undone something that was to your best interest to do. It is a duty that you owe to your- self, to avail yourself of the unparalleled offer made by the Bemidji Pioneer in this contest. Can you imagine any easier manner to become the owner of the Capital prize, “The Pioneer,” the beautiful Model 10 Buick, the most famous car seen in the Northland today. Of course you cannot, so throw off your apathy, send in your name and read yourself as a vote getter. Be a live wire. Make a name for yourself. Let people know you are not a dead one, but- that you have got a lot of real good, red blood in your veins—in other words that you are alive. This may be your intro- duction to the business world and the acquaintances that you will make while getting votes will be more valuable to you than the prize you win. The reason for this is there are more candidates running in Bemidji and the competion is keener, while in the country it is hard to perceive two men who were riding on the that any votes have been gathered R The votes are coming in in bunches from all sides and some contestants seem to have fairly “struck their gait,” in the race for $2500.00 worth of prizes offered for competition by the Bemidji Pioneer. In many of the outside towns, however, the in- terest in the prizes seems to be confined only to a very few candidates. This is where new contestants have a great chance. Votes will not be so eagerly sought for as there are few con- testants to seek them. Catch on now, send in your name or the name of a fiend who you think will have a chance of winning a prize at once. If you take any interest in becoming the owner of the ‘“White Streak” Model 10 Buick, the piano, the scholarships or the gold watches, get busy and get into the contest. If you start at once you will not be too late, but getin with both feet, that’s the only way to start at anything. Wade right into it and do business. ““The Pioneer” is on display at the Garage of the Northern Auto company on Beltrami avenue. Call and see it. It’s a beauty. It’s been run only once, that was when it was run here today to test it out for adjustment. It will not be run again until it is turned over to some lady of the Northland as the winner of the Pioneer’s mammoth prize contest. e = | at all. Look over the list of nomi- nations in tonight,s paper and be convinced that this statement is correct. Then fill out the nomina- tion blank with your name or that of a friend and commence gathering votes, you ladies who reside in Dis- trict B, and the rest will be easy. These Prizes Are Not For Sale. The splendid prizes offered by the Bemidji Pioneer are not for sale for any amount of money. Votes alone will fetch them to you and to get votes it makes no difference to anybody where you live. Persistent rumor has it that the Bemidji Pioneer’s contest is simply a money proposition and that who- ever puts in the most money will win., That is what the wise ones say. We call them wise ones be- cause they think they’re springing something new. That’s where they’re wrong. Success in any understanding is always desirable, but the road to Success is steep, and it must be sought for. The initial step to be tsken to enable you to win your share of the $2500 worth of prizes is to enter your name upon the list of candidates. The second to get out and work. ) The Chances are Even. Some lady residing outside “the city of Bemidji is more liable to win “The Pioneer” Model 10 Buick than those of Bemidji. Every Subscription Verified.

Do Not Get Weary, Keep going. Don’t let that tired feeling come over you. The real race is only just beginning, so don’t let yourself be “cut down” in the back stretch. Do not be a quitter or a sulker. Neiher of these is of any use to God or man. Be cheer- ful and plug along always hoping for the best. Get rid of the idea that you are hopelessly behind and are going to be left. If anybody tells you this tell him he’s another. He may mean to discourage you because he favors someone else, or he may be a chronic “bear” who hates to see any progress made successfully, so turn him down hard. Nobody has won anything as yet and all the contest- ants have an equal chance for a prize. A race is never won until it is finished and accidents may happen at any minute, 3 Perservence Wins. Did you ever read the history of Robert Bruce and the spider? When Bruce had met with reverses and had to flee for his life, he hid in a cave to escape his pursuers, and was lying there “ducking his luck”. He was watching a spider on the cave spinning his web. -The spider desired to attach one of the stays of his web to a distant point. He swung himself at the end of a strand of the web, but at first he would not reach the distant point, but, after many trials, he succeeded and made his web secure. Bruce noted his success and it in- spired him with new hope. He cheered up and took another whack at the English troops, and defeated them. . Then he told the story and acknowledged that the perseverance of the spider had been an inspira- tion to him. That is it. Don’t be discouraged. Send in your name and keep Robert |- Bruce’s spider in mind and as the song said “If you don’t succeed at first, try, try again,” and you will perhaps start an avalanche of votes in your direction. Send in your name and begin hustling. Buick Victories.

PROMINENT BAGLEY MAN IS SENT TO THE ASYLUM Ole Aasen Brooded Over Loss of Business by Fire.—Mind Be- came Deranged. At Bagley, yesterday, Ole Aasen, a member of the general merchan- dise firm of Erickson & Aasen, was adjudged insane by the insanity board of Clearwater county and com- mitted to the asylum at Fergus Falls yesterday afternoon. Mr. Aasen’s case is asad one, and his condition is believed to be the rssult of worry and brooding over business affairs, which have been very unsatisfactory of late. Several weeks ago, Aasen & Erickson lost their building and stock of general merchandise, by fire, practic- ally nothing being saved from the ashes; and the firm did not realize as much from the insurance on the property as had been expected. This fact preyed upon the mind of Mr. Aasen to such an extent that he could think of nothing else, and he gradually became mentally unbalanced. Bagley people had for some time noticed Mr. Aasen’s peculiar actions, and during the past week he was continually watched, the unfortunate man’s condition becoming sach that, yesterday, he was given a hearing by the insanity board, composed of Martin Millborg, judge of probate of Clearwater county,and Drs. Bjorneby and Forrest, who pronounced Aasen insane, Mr. Aasen is a married man and bas a wife and three small children.
