CHINESE PUZZLE
Our Esteemed Contemporary Pub.
fishes One In Its Issue
of Yesterday.

The editor of our esteemed con
temporary, the Bemidj Sentinel,
has adopted the custom which
has become so popular of late
among the smaller papers, of
publishing puzzles and conun-
drums.
In yesterdays issue of the
Sentinel a "virtuous and peace
able woman" is spoken of, and a
little farther down her husband
is mentioned. After the word
husband is a question mark,
which is taken to infer that the
editor very much doubts that the
man and woman are lawfully
welded.
Question:: What can be the
nature of man who can believe
a woman virtuous and peaceable
and at the same time believe that
she has for Is years lived with a
man who is not her lawfully
welded husband, and given birth
while in these relations to a
daughter now IA years of age?
Here is a conundrum of our
own: Which is the most ibelous,

Locals Awarded the First
Place In Association
Hose Race.
FIREMEN'S TOURNAMENT WELL
ATTENDED.
.Bemidji Band Was the Most
Popular at the
Meeting.


j
Bemidji won first place in the
J. association hose race at the fire
! mems tournament being held at
Park Rapids and was awarded
the championship banner, valued
at $50, and the $50 in cash offered
as first prize. Park Rapids made
the best time, but employed q
professional coupler from Pipe
stone. The Bemidji men CON
4 tested the race on the grounds
that the rules Of the association
/ had been broken and that there
fore Park Rapids had no right
to the banner. All the fire COM
panies held a meeting, at which
it was decided to award the ban
ner to Bemidji as being the best
couplers in the association. Be-
midi also Won first and second
prizes in the ladder climbing CON
test.
The following account Of the
tournament was written for the
Daily Pioneer by a Bemidjite who
was in attendance at Park Rap
ids:
The firemen s tournament held
at Park Rapids this week was
very we'll attended.
The Park Rapids band met the
teams Tuesday morning and
headed the procession to the cor
ner in front of the Great North
ern hotel where B. II. Wright de-
livered a welcome address, Grand
Rapids being the only team men
toned during the address, and
presented the Grand Rapids
mayor a key which was to give to
them entrance to Park Rapids.
The reception rendered to the
four teams Bemidji, Hallock,
Blackjack and Cass Lake-Was
not as warm and cordial as was
expected by the boys when they
left for the Rapids.
Hallock had four representa-
Itives in attendance, viz: c. Duer,
r. B. johnson, j. d. Bovett, ed
|itor Of the Enterprise at that
place, and r. v Bliethen. 1t
may be appropriate to mention
here that Hallock was all in all
for Bemidji and aided them
greatly to down the greediness
of the amateur professional team
an win the banner for US.
The Cass Lake boys were I'M
liable to run Thursday ewing to
the fact that they had no place to
sleep the night before and >conse-
Iquently We're in no shape to run
with the other teams. All visit
ing fire teams, with the excep-
ton of one, had to seek places to
sleep and eat as best they COULD.
as there was no citizens recep-
ton committee.
Blackjack was one of the
swiftest teams on the field, but
owing to a damaged coupling was
unable to receive time in the as
sociation hose race. AS, their
hose was reeled from their reel
the coupling hit the wheel of the
cart and was badly jammed and
French was unable to effect a
. break in the coupling in time to
receive a decision from the
judges.
The day of the association hose
race Park Rapids put in as coup
Ter professional man from
Pipestone to couple for them,
which was enough to bar them
from the association; but on tor
of that he was allowed to use his
