—p THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEE i MINNESOTA SOCIETY. ® VOLUME 10. NUMBER 1 9. BEMIDJI COURSE SAID ONE OF BEST icultural Department Recom- . mended to Visitors By G. B. Ai- ton, State Inspector. F. L. WHITNEY IS HERE TODAY Is Superintendent of Schools at Graf- ton, N. D, and Says Local Work is Excellent. PROFESSOR DYER PLEASED Commendation and Praise From Out- side Considered Gratifying as Subject is Still New. Of all the High schools in Minne- sota operating agricultural depart- wments under the Putnam law, Bemid- ji is said to be one of the best exam- ples of what can be accomplished along this line. F. L. Whitney, su-| prerintendent of schools of Grafton, N. D., is in the city today inspecting the local High school agricultural department upon the recommenda- tion of State Inspector Aiton, who wrote him that Bemidji was one of the best schools that he could visit. ~North Dakota passed a law calling for ten agricultural High schools in the state, but Governor Burke cut the number to five because of lack of funds,”” said Mr. Whitney today. “Grafton was selected as one of the five in which courses would be start- od as experiments. Naturally we are anxious to have results and good re- sults as it will depend upon these five schools whether or not other courses will be established. “1 wrote to Inspector Aiton and asked him to recommend to me the school in which the Minnesota sys-|° tem was best operating. He advised ane to come to Bemidji and I arrived vesterday and spent the morning at the school. You can say for me that Bemidji has an excellent course and that tl results obtained should be gratifying to your people. If Graf- ton can do as well we shall be| rleased.” Mr. Whitney attended classes in the agricultural course at the Iligh school and was later taken out to the school farm and shown what the students are actually doing in the neld. He said many times that the work of the Bemidji pupils was an inspiration and should be of great practical benefit to the farmers. In his schools, Mr. Whitney has over forty per cent of students who come irom farms. In speaking of the recommenda- tion made by Mr. Aiton, Professor Dyer “It is pleasing to see that the work of our teachers and pupils is appreciated as we feel that if Be- midji fails in its attempts, it will cast a blight on the entire state sys-| tem. Agricultural courses are still something of an experiment but I believe that they are of an immense- 1y practical value and have come to stay. “It is pleasing to me in the intro- duction of an agricultural course to got such commendation and encour- agement from the outside for what we have already dome.” Gophers Lose to Badgers. Madison, Wis.,, May 20.—Wiscon- sin's track team romped away from Minnesota in the dual meet held here this afternoon, the Badgers winning bv a score of 79 to 47. Keen compe- tition marked a number of the events on the program, and it was due in a large measure to the numerous en- trants of Wisconsin that the Badgers were able to pile up such a convine- ing total against the Gopher ath- letics. Although beaten Dy a comfortable margin by their more numerous Bad- ger adversaries, Dick Grant’s pro- teges at least had the solace of car- 1ying off all the honors in the way of treaking local records. Frank sct a new Wisconsin record in the shot put by heaving the leaden sphere 44 feet 5 1-4 inches, while Lambert took the broad jump with a leap of 22 feet 11 1-2 inches, which is seven inches better than the previous local mark. Stadsvold ran a wonderful race in ihe two-mile, finishing ahead of ‘White of Wisconsin in the fast time of 9:54 2-5. Frank proved himself the individual star of the meet, for in addition to winning the shot put “Wwith a record heave, he annexed the discus throw with a mark of 125 feet 3 inches. Shaughnessy and Tydeman upheld their reputations in the half-} PPV O0POOCOOOOO® & CURRENT EVENTS. ® CPOOOPCOOOOOOOO DATES TO REMEMBER. May 23.—Outdoor band ® Thursday, concert.

It was known that both teams®were strong and in geod condition to put up a game fight, and in this respect none were disap- pointed. Both teams had succceded in defeating Gonvick’s strong aggre- gation with ease. It now remained for them to test each other’s basaball qualities. Tt was a fine clean game, | and at the close of the ninth inning in full the score sheet tallied 9 to 7 in favor of Clearbrook. Peter Larson from Wisconsin pitched for Trail, while John Koxvold tossed for the visitors. Both pitchers were in fine trim and gave a fine exhibition of their skill in handling the sphere. Socialists Adjourn. Indianapolis, May 20.—With dele- | gates waving banners and singing “The Red Flag,” the Socialist nation- al convention adjourned sine die Lere at 5 o’clock Saturday evening. Just before adjournment, J.

Debs of Terre Haute, Ind., as pres- ident, and Emil Seidel of Milwaukee as vice-president of the United States. All the candidates named against Mr. Barnes withdrew and his clection was unanimous. The com- mittee is to be appointed by the na- tional executive committee of the rarty. The “Red” faction of the party, led by Lewis J. Duncan, mayor of Butte, Mont., began a move this af- ternoon for the repeal of that sec- tion of the constitution passed yes- terday after hours of heated debate which places the party as taking a stand against “violence as a weapon of the working class.” Blackduck Slaughtered. By a score of 15 to 1, the Bemidi: High school baseball team won from the Blackduck team in a game played on the local diamond Saturday af- ternoon. “Tubby” Achenbach, Bemidji’s third baseman, drew first blood in the second inning, Cann, the Blackduck pitcher, allowing him to walk and Claude Mclver, right fielder, bringing him in on a clean hit over short. Blackduck’s only score was made in the third inning by Cann. This score was made on errors, and was the only one made by the visiting team. The game, although it was by no means closely contested, was interest- ing at all times. A return game will Dbe played next Saturday.

PETER GALLANT WAS ARRESTED Bagley, Minn., May 20.— (Special to the Bemidji Pioneer).—On Fri- day night a burglar entered the First State Bank of Shevlin,.with intent of blowing the safe, but on finding that the vault door was protected with every known device for giving an alarm or being scared away by some passerby, let the job go. Instead of noising the matter around, the officers of the bank at cnce set on foot a movement to trace every stranger or suspicious charac- ter who might have been connected with a job of the kind and Saturday night caused the arrest of Peter Gal- lant, a well known character, who was found with some of the bank’s nissing bank drafts. It isfthonght by those who are ac- Guainted with Gallant that in a drunken fit he imagined he was a member of the Dumas band of safe- crackers and started to work single handed to rob the bank without ex- plosives-of ‘any kind. When he had forced his entrance by breaking a side window of the bank, he realized the utter impossibility of getting at the bank’s funds, and contented him- self with what he could find lying! around loose in the counter drawers. Deputy Sherifft N. O. Nelson ar- rested Gallant at 12:30 Saturday right and brought him to Bagley, where he will have a hearing on Monday morning at 10 a. m. ALL DULUTH MAY WALK.

GIRL IN SERIOUS CONDITION Was Struck in Stomach, the Lead Deflecting From Her Hip Into Right Leg. SHOOTING WAS ACCIDENTAL Young Ladies Were Close Chums and Were Dressiig to Go Out With Friends. Anna Rebarchick, age 19, was shot and seriously injured by Anna Teu- ton yesterday afternoon, the accident ceeurring at the home of Mrs. Noble, of Nymore. Miss Rebarschick was at once taken to St. Anthony hospi- tal, operated on and the bullet ex- tracted. Miss Rebarchick is in a ser- ious condition and Miss Teuton is prostrated. Both young ladies live in Nymore but are well known in Bemidji. The bullet was of .44 calibre and was fired at a range of but a few feet, striking Miss Rebarchick in the pit of the stomach. The bullet tore through the large intestine striking the hip bone where it was deflected down the right leg. It was taken from her leg at the hospital. No one was in the house with the girls at the time of the shooting as they were dressing to go out with some friends. As mnear ag can be learned, the gun was lying on the iop of the clothes chest. Miss Teu- ton picked it up in order thaf she might sit down. Just as Miss Teu- ton picked up the gun, it discharged and the bullet struck Miss Rebar- chick. A doctor was called at once and the injured girl rushed to the hos- vital where the operation was per- formed less than an hour after the accident. Miss Teuton was prostrat- ed over the accident and has been under the care of a physician since’ the shooting. 4 The bullet is said to have first hit a stay in Miss Rebarchick’s corset’ 2nd that the stay caused it to lose some of its force and be deflected slightly. Otherwise, it is said the charge was heavy enough to drive the bullet through her body. At the hospital, Miss Rebarchick was reported resting as easily as could be expected, but chances for her recovery are considered limited. WILL EXHIBIT BLOODED STOCK.
