VOLUME XIV. NO. 241. J OVER §500 1S { RAISED ON FIRST DAY OF ELKS BiG CARNIVAL Proceeds to Be Used on New Home Under Construction ; 30 Arrests by Kangaroo Court. RACE FOR QUEEN IS VERY CLOSE Everyone Has Entered Spirit and “Big” Time Has Been Planned for Tonight. i Over $500 was raised at the Elks’ big carnival last night, the opening night. This:money will be used to aid in the construction of the Elks’ new home which is under construction at the corner of Fourth street and Bel- trami 'avenue. g 2 The opening of the carnival was very much a success. “Strings of dignity were let loose’ and joy reign- ed supreme. Everyone entered the spirit of the occasion and mever be- fore was there so much merriment in Bemidji. Many Merrymakers. The armory where the booths and Kangaroo court were in operation and the city hall where' the dance was ‘given were filled with merry- ‘makers and the fun lasted until late last ‘night. N The Kangaroo court during the \‘evening did a big business. Twenty- five men were arrested and paid fines amounting to $30.75. Two broke jail, one wrote an I. O. U. for the fine, one promised to pay a fine when he had money and one fine was sus- pended. When Eduard Netzer and Phil Gill weré arrested, John Morrison, who acted as judge, adjoyrned court for an hour and locked the men in the jail. Netzer escaped and the city is on a “man hunt.” Every indication is that Netzer will be captured again and locked up. Lose Cuff Keys. ‘When Bob Osborne and Fred W. Langdon were arrested by kangaroo urt officials they were handcuffed gether and the handcuff key was lost. After searching around the city for some time a duplicate key was found. The men were fined. Eugene Berthold Berman, who ar- rived in the city last evening where he went to meet the senators, took hold of court affairs last night and promised to make many arrests today. Several judges occupied the bench last evening. George Stein was clerk of the court. Expensive Dog. Business at the different booths “was on a large scale. The ‘dog” “booth was especially busy and many persons went away with valuable dogs. Mayor Charles Vandersluis has a seven dollar dog at his home. The dog, however, has not been tag- ged and kangaroo court arrests may follow. The race for queen of the carnival is very close. At one time yester- day Marie Klein was in the lead, at another. time Mable Kittleson lead and later Anna McManus was lead- ing. They are running very close today and everyone is urged to vote for their favorite today. Many at Dance. The dance at the city hall was one of the best in Bemidji for some time. Confetti and paper streamers were much in evidence and the dancers “‘tripped the light fantastic” until { late at night. & The Minnesota Electric Light & § Power company turned on the arch street lights last night and will con- V tinue with them until Saturday night as a donation to the carnival. *.. Big plans have been made for the tertainment tonight and it is be- lieved that a much larger crowd will take part in the merrymaking.
