GIVEI‘i LIGHT FINE BY JUSTICE One of the largest “hawls” ever made by a northern Minnesota game warden was the result of an investi- gation by Sherm Bailey, of Bemidji, inspector of game wardens, when he arrested C. Heoppner of Remer, Sat- === | urday. Bailey found that Hoeppner had two deer and several skins in his pos: session and about one hundred mink skins. He had no big -game li- cense. As the mink season did not open until today he was unlawflly in possession of the hides. The defendant confessed when ar- raigned before the justice of the peace at Remer. He was fined $51. Bailey said that if he had been fined to the full extent of the law the total would have been near the $1,000 mark.

RESENT ACTION OF GERMANS Serious Rioting Occurs At Zabern, Troops Use Bayonets Zabern, Alsace, Giermany, Dec. 1.— Scores of townspeople, including sev- eral civilian ofiicials, are under ar- rest here as the result of a night of rioting. The disturbance was so violent at times that the German troops cleared the main streets at the point of the bayonet. The demonstrations were designed to express the indignation of the to people at certain insulting re- marks recently made by German army officers. The trouble started at the conclusion of the classes of the even- ing continuation school when the pu- pils met and denounced the army of- ficers. Troops were summoned to disperse the meeting and everybody “move on” promptly was arrested. The tow:specple, excited by the re- pressive measures of the military, gathered in the principal square. Soon afterward an officer with fifty sol- diers appeared. \When the detach- ment was ready. to fire the officer com- manded the crowd to disperse. The people at once scattered, but the sol- diers pursued them at double quick vrodded them with their bayo- d the butts of their rifles. Sev- eral citizens were injured. Detachments of troops with fixed bayonets patrolled the streets through- out the night and continued on duty all day. ' Commercial Club Meeting There will be a regular monthly meeting of the Commercial Club to- morrow evening. As many members as possible are urged to attend. | BRAINER QUINT 1»‘:0 LAW BREAKER “PINCHED” PLAY HERE FRIDAY Will Meet Bemidji Athletic Club Five For Opening Geme| of Season— Only One Change in Team VISITORS mim STRONG Have Had Several Weeks of Practice And Are Prepared For Good Game —ILocal Boys Working Hard Opening the basket ball season in Bemidji the Athletic Club team will meet the Brainerd Y. M. C. A. quint. Firday evening in the club hall. The game was arranged Saturday evening by the manager of the Be- i miji five and promises to be one of the fastest games to be played in Bemidji this iwinter. Brainerd is considered one of ] emidji’s strong- est opponents' in athletics and the team coming here this week is picked from stars of that city. They have been practisihg for the past two months and ave prépared. for a hard fought game. | Bemidjj Men Busy The Bemidji team has also been busy and as practically the same men that played last year will be in the game Friday night, the local sup- porters believe that the visitors will be humbled. i Brandon, Bell-and Howe are the candidates who wil! undoubtedly be given a chance to play the forward position in the 'Friday contest. Brandon was appointed temporary captain Saturday. He was a star in all of the games last season, Bemidji | winning every match played. Rem- son Bell is also a last season’s man and has proven himself capable of holding his own. Paul Howe is a new man but his [ability is being demonstrated at practice and he is making a fight for a position on the team. L Bestul A Star Julius Bestul has reported as a candidate for a- position as guard. For three years Bestul was a star guard on the St. Olof’s and other col- lege. qumts and” his playing this sea- son proimises” towbe-nfesture of. all games. Glen Peck, formerly a star on the Bemidji High school team, will play the other guard. These men have taken active part in sponts that have been under the control of the athletic club since its organiza- tion and a better five could hardly be obtained in any city the size of Bemidji. Plan Dance In honor of the visiting team a dance had been planned but as the Northern Minnesota Development as- sociation will be here on™ that date and will have possession of the hall, it is probable that the dance will have to be called off. If arranged for at a later date the “Darktown” orchestra will furnish the music. KIPP QUARTETTE COMING Musi.ians Who Gave Entertainment At High School To Play At Metho- dist Church Thursday AUSPICES OF EPWORTH LEAGUE Music enthusiasts of the city will be given an opportunity to hear the Kipp String Quartet when they will play at the Methodist church Thurs- day evening. The Kipp’s are coming under the auspices of the Epworth league. This quartet comprises F. W. Kipp and his three daughters Hazel, Maude and Winifred, all of whom are rare musicians. Miss Hazel Kipp plays first violin, Miss Maude, second violin, Miss Winifred either piano or cello and Mr. Kipp the viola. It will be remembered that the Kipps appeared in Bemidji two years ago at the high school, at which time their program was considered excep- tional. They are advocating better music in the public schools and are waging a fight against “ragtime.” SCOO T DOMNT \<vow old.

Kkicked open RAIN FALLS DECEMBER 1 Weather Astonishes Oldest Pioneers -—Farmers Doing Their Plowing Bemidji’s reputation as an ideal summer resort is given still another ‘boost by the fact that on December first trees are budding and even the lilac bushes show signs of bursting into bloom. Yesterday several plea- sure trips were taken on Lake Be- midji, something never before heard of in ‘the history of the city. Trees in the school house yard are ‘budding. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ham- mond and two daughters, Maybell and Helen, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. M. LaFontisee made a trip across the lake. While there was thin ice on the lake it did not infterfere with the trip. This morning Lake Be- midji was covered with athin lay!‘r of ice. One Bemidji man said that he had lived in Minnesota for 57 years but that this is the first winter that he ever saw it ram on the first day of December. Farmers in the vicinity of Bemidji are preparing their land for spring seeding and many of them will have their plowing entirely done’ before the soil freezes to hard to work.

WARNING AGAINST FRANCE Former German Imperial Chancellor Breaks Silence. Berlin, Dec. 1.—Prince Bernhard von Buelow, formerly German im- perial chancellor, abandoned the si- lence which he once ‘declared he would maintain until death. He does this in order to warn his countrymen, he says, that inveterate hostility to Germany is the soul of French policy. This, he declares, will continue so long as Frenchmen have the slightest hope of regaining’ Alsace-Lorraine by their own efforts or with outside as- sistance. Prince von DBuélow expresses this conviction in a review of politics. .

Miller, the aged flagman of the Northern Paci- fic rail way at Brainerd who was ac- s | cideritally*Struck and killed Wednes- ‘day evening by the automobile driv- en by Leslie Bush, deliberated 10 minutes and returned a verdict stat- ing that “Miller’s death was un- avoidable and purely accidental and no blame is placed on Bush.” The witnesses examined at the in- quest included Dr. J.

HUBBARD TERM BEGINS The December term of district court for Hubbard county will con- vene in Park Rapids on Tuesday with Judge B. F. Wright presiding At the present time there are less than twenty cases listed on the cal- endar, and it is probable that unless the grand jury developes something unexpected the term will not last more than a week or ten days. Sale Was a Success. Nearly $150 was taken in by the sale conducted by the women of the Episcopalian church Saturday after- noon. More than $20 was taken in at the table of the St. Agnes guild, comprised of articles made by little girls of the. Sunday school, over which Miss Capitola Stewart is su- pervisor.
