BEMIDJI
BOYS J; WIN
The Basket Ball Game With Park
Rapids to the Tune
of 25 to 10.

The youthful basket ball team
of the Bemidii Athletic Club
made its first trip from home
last week, played its first match
game and won glorious victory
over the aged and experienced
team Of Park Rapids. Let US
shout!
The club had great difficulty in
finding enough members who
could leave town. Several Of it's
young players stayed at home
and victory looked doubtful. The
team left Friday morning played
the game that night and returned
Saturday night. They say the
only unpleasant feature Of the
trip was the sour faces made at
them by their husky opponents.
The Bemidji team was made
up as follows: Captain Billie
Boskill, right forward; John Ray
mond, center; Harry Gel, left
forward; Erton Cell, right guard; !;
Arthur 5Brannon, left guard. r.
Grimoldby acted as umpire, Joe
f5. Y
Fenton, scorekeeper, and Thayer:
Bailey, timekeeper for the club.
The boys freely admit that the.
game was won by the clever
handwork Of Raymond who, in

Raymond? Yes; he was in it
all the time.
Boskill played steady through
out the game.
Of course, Ed Farley was there
and rooted for the Bemidji boys.
aArt" Brannon kept his man
busy by continually humping
noses with him.
About fifteen travelling men
took a hand in the game by root
ing for Bemidji.
Erton Cell was the star player
of the evening, although his
brother, Harry, led him a merry
chase.
The Park Rapids boys tried
hard to bar Raymond, on the
plea that he was a ''salaried
physical director" !" but the bluff
didn't stick.
Our s'Reuben, from Bemidji,
blew the whistle, and Thayer
Bailey kept the books, while 'e'

lines entertaining the fair sex.

Colored Troops In War.

In view of Mr.. Chamberlaln's asser-
tion of our right to employ our colorcd
troops in any war, II may be asked
whether any other European Power
has ever used such a right. The ans
wcr is that France used African sol
diers from Algeria in the Franco-Ger-
man war. Several regiments of
Turkos and Sparis fought all through
the campaign, and the former particu-
larly distinguished themselves by
their bravery against the Bavarian
troops in the terrible engagements of
Weissenburg. Worth and Bazeillcs.
The term "Turko" was really n nick
name given TO infantry regiments
composed of negroes and Bedouins and
specially organized for service in Al
gerls. Their uniform was similar to
that of the Zouaves. except that II
was pale blue. Their black faces

lated pictures Of them among It's

diers TO the sight of these African op-
ponemts. Many of the Turkos fell In
action and large numbers were taken
prisoners. A few of them managed
10 get back to Paris at the time of the
Commune. There, without the re-
straint of discipline, they gave way
to drink, and eventually made them
selves such nuisance that the Paris
ians were very glad to see the last of
them.

The Heating of Lofty Buildings.

Furthermore, its ascent is encouraged
by its being led through two sets Of
heating cells. In the dome there is a
third set Of cells, which, although they
do not contribute to the warming Of

nuts and fish by the natives and were
thus kept alive until they were picked
up by the native junk which brought
them back to civilization.
In detailing the story of horror to
the court of inquiry which sat Mt
Singapore to look into the wreck,
Johannessen and Marticorenna said
that when they and nine others left
the wreck on their raft they knew
nothing of what had become OF the
remainder who left the wreck on the
other raft
They had four tins of dried meats,
and when this gave out, n Frenchman
who went mad wanted 70 eat an
American sailor who died. When
Captain Crocker prevented him he
tried to kill tie captain, and on the
mate interfering he killed him with
an axe, and 1t was then that the
cannlbalism commenced. The French
man ate the mates brains and drank
his blood. and the remainder OF the
crew killed and ate the Frenchman.
They did this because the second mate
had said that 1t was better to kill the
Frenchman than let him kill them all,
for he was mad and ran amuck
with an axe on the raft. They all
drank some of his blood and ate the
flesh raw.
Soon afterward two others, an Eng.
lishman and Russian, went crazy
and jumped into the sea and one by
one they died, till only the two were
left and they subsisted by catching
small fish with bent nail and line
made from small strips of canvas.
When they were washed ashore on
Soubi Island, they were too weak to
walk, and with sores all over their
bodies were crawling along the beach
when the natives found them. They
had regained their strength somewhat
when the Chinese junk which took
them off arrived. and they went on
the junk to Pulo Madi and then to
Singapore, where they arrived in mid
April.
At the inquiry the master of the
Chinese junk testified to having seen
the raft of the two men and of how
the natives had told him of their being
washed ashore.

Mummified Bodies Found In Alaska.

Although many thousand mummies

those spices which were employed by
the ancient Egyptians in expeIling
moisture from the body. The num-
mics that have been taken from the

Child Alone in n Balloon.

A balloon ascension was to have
been made at West Liberty, Iowa, re-
Gently by Baldwin Brothers, of
Quincy, ILL.,, and in the crowd watch
ing the preparations was Carlton
Meyer, twelve years old.
Boy-like, he was eager to aid in the
undertaking, and was helping to hold
the balloon down, when suddenly it
sprang into the air, with young Meyer
hanging head down, with his feet en-
tangled in one of the ropes.
The aeronaut who was to have gone
up in the balloon had the presence of
mind to call to the boy: Hang on to
the rope"
The boy bravely clutched the line
and squirmed around until he caught
one of the dangling parachute ropes,
and he did not once make a slip as
he twisted himself about and gradu-
ally worked himself up to the balloon.
Mrs. Meyer, the boys mother, tainted
as she saw him carried away.
Straight upward shot the balloon
with its little captive. When it had
reached an altitude of about q mile
a current of air struck 1t and it began
to drift away.
Then began novel and exciting
chase. AS the balloon moved the
crowd followed it, expecting every
instant to see the boy dashed to death
on the earth. Along the roads, over
fields and fences they ran, and when
those on foot were distanced the pur-
suit was kept up by men in wagons
or on horseback.
After FIVE miles had been covered
the balloon began to slowly descend.
AS the air in 1t cooled it steadily
settled, wavering now and then, and
drifting about with the breeze, as
though to torment the anxious and
nearly spent followers.
Finally 1t came to earth in a field
of grain, where the youthful aeronaut
was gently dropped. When his friends
came up he met them with q broad
smile.
triumphal procession was formed
and the boy was carried back home.
There purse Of 500 was raised to
reward the little fellow for his pluck.
