THE BEMIDJI | i BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 14, 1912. VOLUME 10. NUMBER 144. BEMIDJI TEAM GETS ONE MORE SCALP Thief River Falls Third Eleven to Go Home Scoreless After Tack- ling Local Men. DEFEATED BY 12 TO 0 MARGIN Touchdowns Mady By Lycan and Hayner, But Achenbach Lost Ball After Going Over. GIRLS’ SUPPER DREW MANY Crowd So Large That They Were Unable to Handle All Comers— Game Attendance Small. In a game replete with tense situ- ations, the Bemidji high school foot- ball team defeated Thief River Falls high school Saturday afternoon by a score of 21 to 0. The score would have been at least 18 to 0 had “Tub- by” Achenbach not had the misfor- tune to lose the ball just as he fell across Thief River's goal line. The ball was captured by a Thief River player and was put in play twenty yards from the goal. A. E. Nelson, instructor in agri- culture in the high school. acted as master of ceremonies during the first half and when his whistle blew, Thief River kicked off to Bemidji. The ball was worked back and forth in the center of the field for several minutes going from one team to the other. At the close of the quarter, the ball was close to the Thief River line. The minute rest allowed the men helped the Bemidji team and when it lined up again, Wilbur Lyean carried the ball over easily. In order to get over the line, he was forced to fall across the piled up mass of line men. The umpire wanted to call it “Hurdling” but after reading the rules decided that the play was al- lowable. The teams lined up again but no further scores were made the first half. During the second half, both teams played better ball but Bemidji did not come back as strong as ‘expected. By hard work, Harold Hayner was sent across the Thief River goal line for the second touchdown. Captain Bailey missed both chances at goals| although the ball struck one of the uprights on the second trial. In the fourth quarter, Harold Hay- ner was struck and the wind knocked out of him. His position was taken by Mayne Stanton but Hayner was enough recovered after the game to run to the high school dresisng room. Stanton was used to good advantage in some line and cross bucks. This was the only change made in the Be- midji line up. The Bemidji ends, Graham and ‘Wright, were completely outplayed by the Thief River ends and time and again were effectually boxed by in- terference so that the backs had to spill interference and stop the ball. ‘When going down under punts, they were usually blocked so that the man with the ball got a start before be- ing tackled. The ends did good work in handling their own forward passes. The five center men on the Be- midji line, van, Titus and Achenbach outplayed the Thief River line at times and at others allowed their opponents fo sift through. The line was good un- der line plays but trick plays and forward passes did not hold long enough to allow the back field to get the plays under way. Several times Captain Bailey was forced to change a trick play into an end run because the line sifted a Thief River player. The line men were fairly good on breaking through and tack- ling although several missed easy ones. The Bemidji back field of Bailey, Ryan, Hayner and Lycan played good football on straight plays but were a little slow on trick plays. Had the line jumped to position faster, many of the plays would have suc- ceeded where they failed. They were clso handicapped by the line failing to hold long enough on punts and forward passes. Bailey failed to follow the man with the ball many times and on the line over play once allowed a Thief River man to come around and tackle from behind. Bemidji won the game fairly and had a heavier team to overcome. The Thief River men relied more on weight than plays and could do noth- ing when the Bemidji team played football, The victory was well earn- Oleson, Elletson, Sylli- 1 CHRISTY MATHEWSON. - Veteran Pitcher of Giants Prominent In World's Series.

The stop watch for the time keep- ers was loaned by George T. Baker and company. Admission at the gate amounted to $24.00 and at the foot- ball supper to $43.50. The girls were overwhelmed by the crowd that tried to attend the supper and were not prepared for such large numbers.

ACCUSED OF BOY'S MURDER. Washington, D. C., Oct. 14.—Tony Milano, an Italian shoemaker, was arraigned for trial before Justice Stafford today, charged with the mur- der of twelve-year-old Harry Smith. The alleged crime was committed in September of last year and attracted wide attention at the time. The Ital- ian, as charged by the police, mur- dered the Smith boy, who with other lads is said to have been teasing him, and then set fire to his shoemaker shop to hide the alleged crime. SCOOP rerorrir On Saturday afternoon the regular edition of the Daily Pioneer contain- ing the final score of the Bemidji- Thief River Falls football game and the Boston-New York baseball game of the world’s series was on the street before the crowd at the football game at the fair grounds was down town. System and hard work make such journalism possible. The Pio- neer has the system and the force is willing to work. IMPLICATES BECKER New York, Oct. 14.—Long hours of cross-examination by supperless lawyers before a supperless court and a jury failed Saturday night to make Bald Jack Rose vary his story of the part he played and the part he says former Police Lieutenant Becker played in the murder of Herman Rosenthal, the gambler. “Becker told me,” he said, “that he wanted Rosenthal murdered, shot, croaked or dynamited. At his bid- ding I got the gunmen to kill Rosen- thal. I hid after the murder. I saw Becker that morning and later talk- ed with him over the telephone. I paid the gunmen $1,000 for Becker and told them he said net to worry but to lay low. “I gave myself up and became a state’s witness because Becker de- serted me like a dirty dog and was getting ready to throw me to the wolves.” Justice Goff convened the after- noon session of court at 2:15 o’clock, Shortly before 9 o’clock he declared it adjourned until Monday morning, after John F. McIntyre, Becker’s law- yer, protested he was on the verge of collapse. Justice Goff, white-hair- ed and venerable appearance, seemed the least fatigued of all in the court room. “I warned you,” he told John F. MclIntyre, Becker’s lawyer, early in the evening, “that he-would finish this cross examination if he had to sit till midnight. I meant it.” NAVALMILITIA WORK New York, Oct. 14.—The Minne- sota naval militia under command of Captain Guy L. Eaton, arrived in Jersey City Saturday afternoon, and were immediately taken aboard the battleship Wisconsin of the Atlantic reserve fleet. While the enlisted men were being taken on board, Captain ‘W. J. Maxwell, commanding the Wis- consin, called the militia officers in- to conference and took up the work of assigning the Minnesota battalion to stations. Captain Maxwell gave the militiamen to understand that they would be an important part of the Wisconsin’s crew during the grand review. Captain Eaton was made aide to the executive officer, where he has an opportunity to observe the work of handling a battleship. All of the other officers were given stations in accordance with their rank. The enlisted men were amalgated with the regular crew of the Wiscon- sin, working in pairs with the regu- lars. This general rule was followed from the engine room to the bridge. Officers of the militia are taking their regular turn on the bridge and on the deck watch. TEN EYCK TO ROW RILEY. Saratoga, N. Y.

Both decisions were re- These actions are an outgrowth of the publicity given the Brainerd water and light board by Charles Russell, an attorney and his part- ner. Russell, who has lived in Brain- erd about one year, discovered that the Northern Pacific and other cor- porations were not paying their share of the cost of pumping the city water and that the common people were paying for the water furnished the big business plants. They at once started a fight to get the water rates put on an equitable basis but met considerable oppesition in the council. They and others fin- nally wished to' appear before the council to show cause why the water and light board personnel should be changed but the council refused to hear them and the mandamus case re- sulted. The libel suit is said to have been caused by Schwartzkopf -saying un- complimentary things of Mahlum while the former was in conference with some of the prosecutors. The entire trouble started last spring and promises to be a drawn out affair. ALLEGED SLAYER ON TRIAL. Camden, N.

SAYS VOTERS WANT TORRANCE A. A. Andrews, Democratic candi- date for county attorney, today ad- dressed a letter to the county audi- tor asking that his name be omitted from the general election ballot. Mr. Andrews stated that the primary election returns showed that the voters were satisfied with the present county attorney, Graham M. Tor- rance, and-that he did not wish to oppose him. The withdrawal of Mr. Andrews from the race for county attormey leaves Mr. Torrance and A. M. Cro- well as contestants. Mr. Torrance will run as a Republican and Mr. Crowell as a Socialist. The general election will be held November 5. Following is the full text of Mr. Andrews’ letter: Bemidji, Minn. Oct. 14, 1912. Mr. J. L. George, county auditor, Beltrami county, city. Dear Sir: I hereby request that you omit my name from the general election bal- lot .as Democratic candidate for county attorney of Beltrami ‘county. I make this request because I feel that the voters of Beltrami county have shown by their votes at the primaries that they are satisfied with the present County Attorney Graham M. Torrance and for that reason I do not care to be a candidate for said office. Yours very truly, S A.A. Andrews. Dict A. A. AJA. S.
