DEFEATS GRAND RAPIDS High School Team of Neighboring Town Evens Things Up for Beating Received Here. THEY NOW HAVE A GAME APIECE Tie Will Probably Not be Played Off as Bemidji Has Officially Closed Schedule for the Season. The Grand Rapids High school football team played a return game at Bemidji last Saturday, and came home just a little farther away from the championship of Northern Mip- Bemidji kicked to Grand Rapids to start the second half. Grand Rapids were forced to punt and it wes Bemidji’s ball on their own twenty-five yard line. The ball was worked dowm the field and Stanton went over for a touchdown. He kicked goal. Score: Bemidji 13— Grand Rapids 3. Bemidji kicked to the visitors who made first down twice on forward passes to the quarterback. They were held for downs on the Bemidji 30 yard line. By a series of line smashes, it wes too dark for trick plays, the ball was worked to the Grand Rapids 7 yard line and Cap- tain Bailey carried it over for the third touchdown. Stanton missed the goal. There was no more scoring and the game ended with the ball in the center of the field. Final sore: Bemidji 19—Grand Rapids 3.” HUNTING SEASON OPENED SUNDAY Reports are That Deer are Plen- tiful and the Woods are Full of Hunters. nesota than when they started. At the former game played here, Grand Rapids came out victorious, so the record is now one game to the cred- it of each team. It is doubtful if the tie will be played off, as the Be- midji team has officially closed its schedule for the season. Our boys have neither excuses to make nor opologies to offer for losing Satur- day’s game to their Northern neigh- bors» and only promise to be more than ever in readiness when the two teams again meet. While we are somewhat disappointed ‘that our boys did not cinch the championship of Northern Minnesota, we cannot but be proud of the spirit in which they take their defeat. There is not a kick or a growl in the bunch over the way in which they were treated and the words of Coach Carson, to the Bemidji Sentinel voices the sentiments of the entire team. He said: | “We were beaten fairly and square-! ly. We have not one word of com- plaint or criticism to make, either against the Bemidji team nor the of- ficials: We realized that conditions during the Grand Rapids game were Rot the best so were glad to play Be- The deer hunting opened in Min- nesota Sunday and Grand Rapids nim rods are out in force securing their allotment of venison. The weather has been ideal and as reports are to the effect that deer are plentiful, the sport should be good until the season closes on the 20th. We pre- sume that everyone is well acquaint- ed with the law: governing the hunt- ing of deer, but it may be well to re- member that no hunter is allowed to kill more than one moose and’ one deer, and the sale of game is pro~ hibited at all times. It is unlawful to hunt deer with dogs, to place or reserve game in storage, to hunt on land of another without peermis- sion, to wantonly waste or destroy. game of any kind, to retain game)! more than ifive days after the close of the season except by. permiission, of the game commission, to use traps, snares: artificial lights, nets or set- traps, to use the hunting license or shipping tags of another person, or to kill game birds or animals in any’ other way than by a gun held to the shoulder. midji again, Bemidji has the strong- er team and their victory was earn- ed and deserved.” { From the Sentinel’s report of the game we also reprint the following: “Meeting the strong Grand Rapids team which three weeks before had; defeated-them 19 to 6, the Bemidji high school football team overwhelm- ed their opponents Saturday after- moon on the home grounds ‘by a score of 19 to 3. The game was fast fpom the start and it was the general opinion, of those who saw it that the score fairly represented the merits of the two teams. Those who saw the game here could not believe how the| score at Grand Rapids was made pos-| sible. “Around the ends and through the line, the Bemidji backs were able to gain at will and were forced to punt but once during the forty-eight min- | utes of play. Om the other hand, Grand Rapids met a stone wall time after time when trying to pierce the Bemidji line and their only chance for a touchdown resulted in the ball going to Bemidji on their 7 yard line. On the defense, Graham and Ellet- son, the ends, were pulled back to the positions usually occupied by the halves and Stapton and Peck went on the line. This gave the line added weight and Stanton and Peck were a@ble to break through and spill plays for a loss. In spite of three days during which time the team had’ no practice, the tackling was the best of the season. With a blackboard and chalk, Coach Carson had explain ed the Grand Rapids plays until the Bemidji boys were familiar with them. “The game started promptly at 4 p. m. when Grand Rapids kicked to Stanton. He returned the ball to the Bemidji 50 yard line. Grand Rapids held for downs and Bailey punted the ball behind the Grand Rapids goal. The ball was pu in play on their 20 yard line where Be- midji held for dawns, Whalen punt- ed put Stanton blocked the punt and Peck received the ball back of the goal line. Stanton missed goal. Score: Bemidji 6—Grand Rapids 0. The ball was again kicked off and Grand Rapids worked it down to the Bemidji 25 yard line where Whalen booted a beautiful drop kick: Score Bemidji 6—Grand@ Rapids 3. No CARTRIDGE STUCK --FACE BURNED Herman (‘lark of Grand Rapids, is First Hunting Victim in Itasca County. The hunting season was but a few hours old on Sunday when Itasca county’s fitst hunting victim for the season of 1912 was under the care of a doctor. Herman Clark was the victim of his own, carelessness, and is around town with his head in-a sling in consequence. In company with Frank Passard he was out hunt- ing, carrying as a weapon, a breach loading shot gun, One of the bar- rels failed to go off when it should and Clark attempted to remove the cartridge. While thus employed, the charge exploded, the recoil throwing the powder, wads and fine shot back- ward and badiy burning Clark’s face. Dr. Storch, who attended him, thought at first that an eye might ave been damaged, but last reports are to the effect that nothing so serious wlil follow.

Deputy Game Warden Jesse Harry, on Thursday brought Joseph Fran- cisco in from the Johnson Lake country and placed him in jail, charg-, ed with violating the game laws. The deputy had caught Francisco red handed attempting to trap game out of season. Before Judge Kearney on} Friday, Francisco plead guilty and} was fined $10 and cost, amounting in all to $18. On Saturday Warden Harry arrest- ed James Wilson of Cloquet for th illegal shipment of ducks and the accussed pleaded guilty before Judge Huson on Monday, receiving a fing of $10 and costs, totaling $12. John Wedener of Cloquet, was found guil- ty of the same offense and later in the day was assessed a like amoun. Warden Harry was also,the complain- ant in this case. A party by the name of Wehart was brought over from\. Coleraine, where he had been sentenced to 60 days for illegally having venison in, his possession. Warden Wood found Wehart with his wife and four child- ren shacking in the woods on min- ing company grounds on the banks | LEGISLATURE Democrats Lose Seven Members of Lower Branch in Last Tues- day’s Election. | } | 1 i \ WSARRY. MAY TRY FOR SPEAKER County Option Forces in Nex House Will be Strong, but | Senate Will Block Such LeSislation. } George D. McCarthy, the Duluth Gerald’s political writer, in sum- ming up the results of last Tuesday’s election, has the following to’ say concerning the legislature that will convene the first of the year: _ “The next house in Minnesota will be made up of ninety-seven Repupli- cans, eigteen Democrats, two Pro- dependent. Ome contest is a tie, that in the Thirty-first district, Washing- ton, in which A. Hauge, Republican and H. H. Harrison, Democrat, are the contestants. “The Democrats lost seven, house seats in the election Tuesday, C. S, Nygren was dfeeated in Wabasha county, ope was lost in Jackson, county, F. L.

D. | O’Brien was defeated in St. Paul and one seat was lost in the Ben-, ton, county-St. Cloud district. The | Democrats captured one seat in the Fopty-fourth district in Minneapolis of O’Brien brook, and in the most! ged one in the Forty-eighth district, destitute condition imaginable. The family had@ but little clothing, save that given them by neighbors. The children were dressed in gunny sicks and looked half. frozen. At this place the warden found a newly built deer scaffold in the garden and a quanti- ty of venison in the house. He also confiscated a new fish net. The illeg- al devices were destroyed, but the venison was left with the wife and children. Wehart claimed that the net was furnished him by the proprie- H tor of a mercantile company in Nash- wauk, The testimony showed that Wehart had worked but four days during the last year and the judge lectured him on his abuse of the wife and children, Believing that a jai} sentence for him would be better than a fine, he was given 60 days. The family will pe cared for at the ex- pense of the county. Charles Crispen, who has been making Dick Whitmey and the Har- ry Collier shacks near Coleraine, his headquarters, was arrested by Game Warden, Wood, charged with iF legal trapping and netting fish. Cris- pen did not nlike the idea of sep- arating himself from the convivial companions with whom he was as- sociatiing and told the warden so, throwing in expletives of rather a lurid hue. After being landed rath- er roughly in the Coleraine jail, he decided to plead guilty to the charges and to resisting an officer and was handed a sixty-day jail sen- tence. William Wesinen, section fore- man for the D. M. & N. road at Pen- silly, arrested by Game Warden Wood, charged with having venison in his possession, entered a plea of guilty before Judge Prescott at Col- eraine and the fine imposed was $25 and costs. On recommendation of the warden and on account of the man’s large familly a part of the sen- tence was suspended and the accus- ed paid $15. Matt Nollilia and John Vauld, both workmen on the railroad, also fell into the warden’s net. He brought in part of a dressed carcad as evidence against them, the deer having been killed near Evan lake. | Both men plead guilty and were fined $10 each and costs, which they paid.

McGuire re- turned from Thief River Falls Tues- day afternoon. Mr. McGuire was one of the corps of instructors on the Soo Agricultural train, which is out, on a two weeks lecture and demon- stration tour in the northerm and/ western, parts of the state. The train consists of eight coaches devoted to the following interests: domestic science, school children’s work, farm crops, dairying, farm ma- chinery, cattle, horses, poultry and hogs. Each car is fully equipped with everything ‘necessary to demonstrate its particular subject and presents a very attractive appearance. b This particular phase of agricul- tural extension work is meeting with great success, and the Soo railroad deserves much credit for enabling the agricultural school to be brought to the people, as well as for the im- mense territory which they have op- ened up. and are helping to develop. Mr. McGuire says: ‘Everywhere, the farmers and their wives and child- ren are taking the greatest possible interest in the coming of this train, In four days in was estimated that nearly 7,000 people had visited the train. They are urged to inspect every car thoroughly, and then take scats in the cars which most interest them and listen to the talks given by the state’s experts and at every | place we visited each car was full to overflowing, the domestic science and children’s cars coming in for their full share fo attention, tle talks in the cars the live stock were taken out and exhibited. and open air talks and pointers on jude- ing were given, At some of the small towns where |early morning sessions were to be held, the farmers and their families were already there, in some cases | before eight o'clock, and for miles around, schools were dismissed) and teachers and pupils came together. At many towns the train was met by the village band and this expres- | sion of welcome was reciprocated by | the instructors who organized a choir and sang their farewells as the train moved out. | Supt McGuire joimed the train at After|Grimmer .. ..

The canvassing board having im charge of the official tallying of the ballots cast at the election last Tues~ day, finished their labors last eve- ning, making a remarkable short job of an arduous and particular contract. No changes of any importance were found necessary, the returns as sub- mitted from the different precincts being found substantially correct.
