Grand Rapids went to Bemidji last Sunday to play a return game with the mixed outfit that they had trim- med on Decoration day and Sunday. We are glad to say also that they all got back alive. The grounds were what would be called fierce aud nearlyevery infielder of Grand Rapid’s team has injuries to show for the short trip. Larson has abadarm due to a hot grounder, Jorgenson bas another from a bad throw; Sharpless got one in the shins and narrowly escaped getting one in the head and McAllister got his first grounder in the throat nearly knock- ing the head off of him. The Bemidji public used the block where the grounds are for a cross road and the roads crossed in the cen- ter of the diamon] making the field- ing of ground balls a matter of guess work and luck. Both sides muffed nearly all the ground balls and the only difference was that Grand Rapids got the most of theirs on the ground and Bemidji got theirs in the air. Larson pitched oneof the best games of his career and bad the Bemidji men falling all over themselves in an endeavor tu get the ball out of the diamond. Only five safe bits were made off him and only one of these was 2 real hit that would haye been safe on any grounds. Healsois a star tlelder and his work compelled respect. from the partisan Bemidji crowd. Every run that was made on either side was scored after chances, and casy ones at that. A total of about fifteen errors for Grand Rapids and ten for Bemedji tell the whole story ina nutshell. Bemedji had a south paw, Saunders, that was a mystery to all the batters and kept the hits well scattered except in one inniug. He was fourtunate in getting a team of left handed batters to pitchagainst which helped him out, as he fared badly against the right handed men, Gertz in particular. He also gave Larson several passes to the first station, Grand Rapids has no game on for tomorrow, but it is likely that the boys will do considerable practicing. The team will go to Park Rapies on the 28rd, and on the 28th will play Hibbing. . The Grand Rapids boys are not inclined to kick or criticise, but the Herald-Review cannot refrain from casually remarking that as a base ball town Bemidji is about the bum- estever. When the miscellaneous aggregation from that town visited Hotel Gladstone, one of the best caravansarys in the northwest. and far superior in every respect to the best that Bemedji bas to offer. Not- withstanding this fact thecheap-guys, gathered up from all over Beltrami and several other counties, kicked on the services and rooms furnished. They assured Maorger King of the local team that when his ball tossers visited Bemidji they would be cared for at the best hotel in the state, etc. The boys were somewhat surprised to flod upon their arrival that they were to put upatabum little dump, be- cause it was the cheapest thing in town. The gate receipts were about $12, while the receipts at Grand acids whea the Bemidji team playd here were over $100. Taken asa whole Bemidji must be written down a cheap town. RELIC OF MURDERER KING. Spurious Coin Found Where His Coun- terfeiters Worked. What is supposed to be an echo from the murderer, Dan. King, is alleged to have been unearthed near Nashwauk Tuesday. While at work blasting stumps a gang of workmen discovered a large number of silver dollars, which had been scattered by a blast.

Father Mackey died yesterday (Tuesday) at St. Mary’s hospital, after an illness-there of five months. from Bright’s disease. The fact that his death has been almost daily The Well Grand Rupids they were taken tol expecurd for several weeks does not lessen the serrow in a large circle of friends, fur Father Mackey has been established in Duluth for eleven years and was a man of broad Christian charity. The funeral was held Wed- nesday, at 100’clock, from the Cathed- ral, with requiem ceremonies, in which a large number of the clergy participated. The burial took place in Calvary cemetery. Rey.

The mother was tnen a resident of White Oak Point. and a Chippewa Indian. The two children are very bright and fatelligent. The boy is at the Indian school at Morris and the girl bas, attended school at Cass Lake. ‘The fact that they have regularly awn their annuities and their right to take allotments on the Chippewa reservation has never been questioned, and that they could take land on any other part of the reservation, is in favor of Mrs. Lydick. Mr. and Mrs. Lydick have always aftirmed that the squatters would be treated in a fair manner, and when the secretary of the interior granted to the ajlottees and there was no thought of the case being opened, Mrs. Lydick said that although the decision gave her the buildings, she would not take them from the squat- ters, nor would she even turn them off or in any way interfere with those who had been her bitterest opponents. She a'so promised. subject to the sanction of the secretary of the in- terior, to lease, or if congress permit- ted, sell the land to the squatters for a reasonable price. So pleased were those who objected to her allotment at her attitude that they withdrew in writing, all opposition to her claiin and signed a document to that effect. All opposition being withdrawn by the squatters who were the original objectors, it was thought the matter was ended, and there wasconsiderable surprise that Senator Nelson asked fora rehearing of the case. These objectors have wired to bim and have in writing told him they were not now opposed, and asking him to with- draw, in their name, the objection. The majority of the few who origi- nally objeuted and then withdrew their objection have been true to their agreement not to oppose the granting, and the objections have dwindled down to one or two. Itis teought that when Senator Nelson knows the above he wiil withdraw from the fight. Women to Make Entry on Land.
