News Gathered During the Week Grand Rapids and Vicinity. q | River and 1s ready to bet his money D. M. Gunn, E. A. Kremer, W. J. and .H. D. Powers started for the Spider lake bass beds one day ahead of time in order that none others could lay claim to being “first at last.” ‘Their success was. sufficiently exten- sive to give the party and their friends entire satisfaction. Ed. Chiil, the hustling real estate representative.of C. H. Marr at Deer River, was a visitor at this_metropolis on Monday last. Mr. Chill has _be- come a thorough enthusiast for Deer on the town on the slightest provoca- tion. During the holding of services at the Catholic church last Thursday morning a fire started from the burn- ing candles and many of the beautt ful flowers were distroyed before the flames were extinguished. Prompt action, however, prevented a more serious ‘loss. A shower this morning was a wel- come visitation to this section, especi+ ally by farmers and gardeners. While no serious results have yet been ex- perienced ‘because of the dry spell of weether, a few days more without the wet would have retarded the early growth of vegetation to an extent that would decrease the harvest. S. H. Withy of Crookston, a con- ductor on the Great Northern, ac- cepted an invitation from C. A. Schmidt to bring his. rod and _ reel this way and select a few choice bass. He arnved Saturday might and asa result the inhabitants of Spider lake are fewer by several than they were a week ago. James D. Doran arrived home on Friday of last week from the state uni- versity, where hecompleted a ‘course of law study. Mr, Doran has been a student for two and a half years at the university, and next fall he expects to take an examination before ‘the state board of examiners for admission to practice law. ‘There seems to have been no move started in Grand Rapids for the cele- bration of the glorious fourth of July. It may be that the enterprising and patriotic citizens of the ‘village have not fully recovered from the effects of last. year’s tournament. That event was a “frost” that would chill the heart of almost any patriot. Dave Cochran was down from Waubana Jake on Tuesday last. Mr. ’ GRAND RAPIDS § 2 Grand Rapids w: was defeated at Be- midji'last Sunday in a slow game of base ‘ball, 7 to 2, Errors by the visit- ing team at critical points allowed several runs that were not earned and discouraged Pitcher Stafford so. that. he slowed up and allowed several hits | to be made and finally he quit the box in disgust, putting in Olson to throw the, balance of the game. Olson threw a great assortment of benders and | only allowed two hits and no runs in | five innings. He watched the, bases clovly and all around showed that he was it with a capital 1 when the game was being played. Bemidji played a smooth, careful game in the field and worked together well and for the first game of the year showed uf in tirst- class shape. It was rumored around town that Stafford had deliberately handed the game to the home team and that he was nut trying to win. Whoever sttirted such rot must be crazy, as with clean support he would have given the home teama merry chase, and as it was he struck out six men in the first two innings. The worst that can be said of him is that his arm played out and he got disgu8ted with his support. Lhe game scheduled for Decoration Day was called off as for some reason unexplained the treasurer of the team refased to put the price of the trans- portation of the Duluth boys in the hands of jimbill and they could not come. It the locals intend, to play ‘Dall this summer such tricks will-kill any and all support that the team is entitled to, besides giving ule town a bad name with outside people. A meaner trick to play a team .cculd not be found than to arrange a game for a holiday with an outside team and then at the last minute cancel it and give the outsiders absolutely no chauce to get another game. DISTRICT COURT TO CONVENE Next Tuesday—Small Calendar and Short Term Looked For—Grand and Petit Jurors Summoned. Judge W. S. McClenahan will pre- side at the June term of district court for Itasca county, which will be con- vened on Tuesday next. Only 28 ciyil cases and a half dozen unimportant criminal cases appear upon the* pages of the calendar for this term. The matters to be brought to the atten- tion of the grand jury are not of aser- ious nature, so far as known, and Clerk of Court Rassmussen says he Cochran is busy these days looking after the comfort and pleasure of the guests at his summer resort, the caring of his crops and the erection of a new barn. Ue says that correspondeuce indicates the coming of a greater number of sportsmen to the Waubana district this year than ever before. Cow herding and empounding is just now one of the problems that many people are trying to solve. Henry Brouilette, the poundmaster, 1s reaping rich reward for his vigilence in picking up stock, and there is no herd, Asa result the man who is so unfortunate as to own a cow feels that he has too much personal pro- perty on hand. A fire alarm was turned in last night about one o'clock asa result of a gaso- line explosion in the Palace restaurant, conducted by Chambers & Clough. The burner under a coffee urn caused the trouble and a serious fire was, nar- rowly averted. When the firemen reach ed the scene the flames were making way through the roof of the building, but by well dtrected efforts of the de- partment not much damage was done. John Janska and H. W. Andridge of Duluth, came down to Grand, Rap- ids the first of the week to capture a black bass or two. They discovered that J. S. Gole is one of the most en- thusiasuc and one of the most success- ful sports that ever cast into the lilly pads, and hence they prevailed upon him to accompany them to Spider lake. Fishing was excellent and three gentlemen landed all the law allowed. Gole got one extra, but he discovered his error in time and threw a_ five- pounder back into the lake. Mr. Janska only weighs 290 pounds and when he fell into the water it is said the lake raised about two feet. He came to the surface right-side up and when leaving for home ‘Thursday night he was as happy as a clam, 160 ACRES rearCamby, Minn., wi! trade for Jand in Cass or ltasca, 100 acres are plowed, 60 acres in pasture, good buildings.
