BEMIDJI ELEVEN DEFEATS CROOKSTON IN D%, Blue and White Tea.. % 20 to 0 Against Polk County » (-“ . ward Pass Used. IN DIRECT LINE FOR = NORTHERN MINNESOTA TITLE Johnson and Tanner Star for Local Team ; Denham and Miller Feature for Visiting Eleven. Showing a wonderful knowledge of the open game and using pass after forward pass, the Bemidji high school football team again turn- ed the trick on the Crookston high school eleven, defeating them by a score of 20 to 0, Saturday afternoon at the fair grounds. Three touchdowns and two goals won for Bemidji. After Northern Title. By defeating Crookston so decisive- ly Bemidji is in direct line for the Northern Minnesota championship. Grand Rapids will be played here next Saturday afternoon and if the local team is successful in defeat- ing that team a game will probably be played with Bast Grand Forks, as that team defeated the Fosston team Saturday and the Fosston team de- feated Crookston a week ago. The Grand Rapids game, however, is the last on the regular schedule. Game Hard Fought. The game was hard fought as the two schools have been rivals for some years past. Last year Bemidji went to Crookston and defeated the team there by a score of 40 to 0. The year previous to that a tie game of 0 to 0 was played. In the game Saturday the Bemidji team succeeded in outplaying the Polk county boys in every stage of the game. Forward Pass Used. Two touchdowns and one goal were made in the second quarter and one touchdown and a goal was made in the third quarter. It was chiefly by the forward- passes that Bemidji made her touchdowns, but the straight, old fashion line attack was not to be sneezed at. ‘With Denham, the fighting darky, and “‘Boob” Miller in the game Crook- ston was confident of victory and there was but little doubt by their followers but that they would de- feat the local team. Both men play- ed an excellent game but the line and ends failed to materialize. First Quarter 0 to 0. The first quarter ended with the score 0 to 0. In the second quarter Tanner made a touchdown on a for- ward pass, Johnson to Tanner. Tan- ner failed to kick goal. In the same quarter Johnson went over the line for another touchdown and Tanner kicked goal. In tire third quarter Johnson went over the line for his second .touchdown. Bailey kicked goal. The fourth quarter saw the Bemidji boys laying down and not working up to the standard. No touchdowns were made during this period. The final score was 20 to 0. Johnson Stars. Johnson, veteran of two seasons and the most aggressive player ever to don the blue and white, Tanner, the star quarter, played the best game for the local team. The line held up well and Crookston was un- able to make any gains through it. Woods at fullback played a hard game and Bailey at right half tore off several long runs despite the fact that he had no interference to aid him. The lineup for the Bemidji team was Witting, le; Cameron, 1t; Swish- er, 1g; Phibbs, ¢; Gainey, rg; Grey, rt; Woods, fb; Tanner, q; Graham and White, le; Johnson, 1h; Bailey, th. The lineup for Crookston was: Guards, Johnson and Cornelius; tackles, Miller and Marin; ends, Mar- chand and Peterson; halfs, Stortroen and Lawrence; full, Denham; quar- ter, Capt. Woolery.

Judge Page Morris of Minneapolis x Grants a Temporary Restraining Order, to Be Returned Nov. 8. CLAIMED HIBBING NOT IN TERRITORY ; TREATY EXTINCT Range Towns Are Quiet; Nashwauk, Keewatin, Calumet and Flood- wood Ordered Closed. Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 1.—Hibh- bing’s 47 saloons, which were to have been closed at eleven o’clock Satur- day night, to remain closed because they are on “Indian Lid” ground, gained a week’s lease of life Satur- day evening when Judge Page Mor- ris granted a temporary restraining order and an order to show cause why the saloons should not continue in business permanently. Order Returnable Nov. 8. The extension for saloons in the territory was secured through an eleventh-hour effort to prevent the government’s closing order, set for today, from being made effective. The order is returnable Nov. 8, when the court will hear arguments on the question of issuing a tempor- ary injunction against the “lid.” The application for the order sign- ed by Judge Morris rested on five grounds: First—That Hibbing is not in the territory defined in the Indian treaty of 1855. Second—That the territory is no longer Indian territory in any sense of the word. Third—That the treaty is in viola- tion of the provisions of the United States comstitution. Fourth—That the treaty cannot apply to the sale of beer, the term “ardent spirits” referring to the so- called ‘“hard” liquors. Fifth—That since the Indian tribal relations have become extinet the treaty has become extinct. CHAMPAGNE 25 - .- CENTS A BOTTLE Hibbing, Minn., Nov. 1.—Prepara- tions for the permanent closing of the saloons had been going on here for a week and the streets were crowded Saturday night with thirsty men who laid in generous supplies of liquor for future consumption in their homes.

CROWD AT CHISHOLM BUT NO DISORDER Chisholm, Nov. 1.—Crowds of people thronged Chisholm streets Saturday night in anticipation of un- usual scenes accompanying what was expected to be the last active night of the open saloon. No arrests were made and there was little drunken- ness. Prior to recelpt of the news that Judge Page Morris had granted a re- straining order, a number of the li- quor dealers had packed their goods preparatory to shipping them back to wholesalers. Others took initial steps to send their stocks to Buhl and Virginia where they expect to con- tinue in business. . There are 37 saloons in Chisholm. News of the restraining order came from Hibbing after 11 o’clock. All of the dealers who had not completed arrangements to remove to other places or return their goods to the wholesale houses decided to continue at least until further action is taken by the federal court.
