VOLUME 10. NUMBER 358. TEN CENTS PER WEEK. MANY CLOSE RACES MARK CELEBRATION Jewett Clipped Thirty-one Seconds From Three Mile Record on Bemidji Track. BAGLEY WON BALL GAME Took Local Team Into Camp By Score of 10 to 6 By a Ninth In- ning Rally. PINE CONE CAME IN SECOND Could Not Overcome Minute and Half | _ Handicap and Del Marca Cross- ed Line First. Exciting races, a good ball game, interesting water sports and a band concert furnished entertainment for Fourth of July visitors in Bemidji. The day was not marred by accident of any sort and the crowd was kept in a good humor by the promptness with which the different events were run off. At 10 a. m., in the Library park, T. J. Burke called the assembled crowd to order and introduced Hiram Simons, Jr., who read the Declara- tion of Independence. Mr. Simons was followed by Mr. Burke in a short speech and then P. J. Russell deliv- ered the oration of the day. Mr. Rus- sell dwelt on the inner meaning of Independence Day as applied to mod- ern governmental problems. The down town races and small sports drew large crowds both in the morning and afternoon, but the big events of the day were the auto rac- es and baseball game at the fair grounds in the afternoon. In the au- to races, the ladies race had to be call- ed off as but one entrant was ready. Miss Olive Curtiss and C. W. Jewett drove a race to take the place of the one withdrawn, Miss Curtiss winning by a close margin. C. W. Jewett then drove against time and clipped thirty-one seconds from the track rec- ord, making the three miles in 4:03 as against 4:34 made last year. TFour cars entered the three mile handicap. Jewett was given scratch, Jean Holmes 1-8 of a mile, John Mo- berg 3-8 of a mile, and Walter Mar- cum nearly half a mile. Marcum drove once around the track and then blew out a cylinder head and was forced to retire. Holmes passed Mo- berg and was himself passed by Jew- ett close to the finish. Bagley won from Bemidji in the baseball game by a score of 10 to 6. Smiley pitched good ball for Bemidji but support in the early part of the game was lacking at critical stages. Smiley struck out the first two men up using but six pitches. The third went out on a fly. Bagley scored heavily in the sec- ond and third innings. The contest then dragged until the eighth when Bemidji rallied and ran the score up to 6 to 5. Bagley came back strong in the ninth and drove in the win- ning runs. A capacity crowd saw the races and baseball game. In the motor boat races, the Del Marca was given a minute and a half handicap on the Pine Cone and sue- ceeded in crossing the line first. The Pine Cone won the race last year. Bodeen and a boat from Grand Forks bay operated by Bacon and Netcher won first places in the family boat races. In the class 2 race, Ed. Gould came in second, but was disqualified for cutting corners. The log rolling contest was won by Charles Tardiff, of Crookston. A summary of the winners is print- ed elsewhere. Clumsy Flatterer, He was a flatterer, but a clumsy one. Noting that the girl of his heart possessed beautiful teeth that shone like ivory, he ventured to pass a com- pliment. “Dearest,” he whispered, leaning over the music rack, “your teeth are like piano keys.” Freezing him with an lcy glare, she turned on her heel. “Sir, how dare you insult me?” “Insult you?” “Yes, insinuate that my teeth are &s large as piano keys.” And without another word she left the parlor, leay- {ng him crestfallen and bewildered.

OVER JOE RIVERS Los Angeles, July 5.—Ad Wolgast retained his title of lightweight champion by defeating Joe Rivers in a thirteen 1ound battle yesterday. The decision was given after the ref- eree had counted Rivers out and Wol- gast lay prostrate as a result of a Rivers’ blow. Rivers had the better of the fight with the exception of one or two rounds and the decision was not well received. In the thirteenth round, Wolgast, tired and bleeding profusely, sudden- ly struck Rivers a vicious left in the groin which Rivers later claimed was a foul. At the same instant Rivers’ right landed uush on the jaw of the champion and Wolgast went down. The referee counted Rivers out and then picked up the unconscious Wol- gast and declared him the winner with all bets off. JOHNSON BEATS FLYNN, l " Las Vegas, July 6—Jack Johnson was given the decision over Jim Flynn in the July 4 battle, the con- test having been stopped by tlie po- lice after the ninth round. Flynn was unable to punish the negro and was himself severely handled. Flynn's face was cut to pieces and the po- lice stopped the contest when it was seen that Flynn was helpless and the referee would take no action. THOUGHT IT WAS IMITATION Barney Weller Was Fond of Jokes, But Rooster Under His Bed ‘Was Too Much. Barney Weller was about the fune niest fellow you ever saw. He was always making people laugh by play- ing jokes on somebody, and he put up a game on a victim every day In tha week. He was in Chicago at a big hotel on one occasion when the butt of one of his jokes sought revenge { by securing a live rooster and tying it under Barney’s bed at night. At three o'clock in the morning the rooster turned up for his first vocal selection and let out a long, shrill crow. The second performance of this kind was too much for the humor- ist. He dressed himself hastily and rushed down to the night clerk. “Give me my bill!” he sald fierce- ly. “I'm going to get out of this place!” “But please tell me what the trouble is,” suggested the night clerk. “That don’t matter,” sald Weller angrily. “I'm going to get out of here and get out quick!” “At least,” begged the clerk, “let us know what is the matter with the hotel before you go.” ““Well,” exploded Weller, “there’s & crazy fool next door to me who thinks this place is a henhouse. He's spent the last two hours trying to imitate a Dlamond Cut Diamond. “I learned something new the other day,” said the father of a boy who 1a prone to playing hookey from school. “The letter carrier makes his first delivery about the time we are all at breakfast.

I soon found out that he ran downstairs to the let- ter-box only when the previous day had been-a fine one. -I followed him and caught him in the act of destroy- ing a postal card his teacher had sent to me, stating that the boy had been absent fgom school. “It was a neat little trick, but 1 managed to checkmate him all right by having the teacher send the card to Police stopped the:Johnson-Flynn fight in Las Vegas in the ninth round.

Artlficlal Graveyard. ‘What is perhaps the most remark- able graveyard in the United States adjoins the old Spanish church in the ancient Indlan pueblo of Acoma, N. M., and took over forty years to con- struct. The village is situated high in the air upon a huge, flat-topped rock many acres in extent and en- tirely bare of sofl. In order to cre- ate the graveyard it was necessary to_carry up.the earth from the. plain 800 feet below, a blanketful at a time, on the backs of Indians who had to climb with their heayy loads up a precipitous trail cut in the face of the cliff. The graveyard thus laboriously |" constructed is held in place on three sides by high retaining walls-of stone. (Copyright.)
