MEXICAN REvoLUTIoNlsTS.
Instructed to Attack Custom House at
=. Nogales.

Ell Paso, Tex, Sept. IA letter
hound on the person of Bruno Trevin0,
one of the men arrested as Mexican
Fevolutionists on the Arizona border,
dated Toronto, Ont, and signed R. F.
Lores Magood, head of the Mexican
revolutionary junta, instructs Trevino.
when he has 100 men willing to fight,
to attack the Nogales custom house,
take arms and then proceed to inter
ior towns, and gather recruits. The
letter says: -sss ~
LET Cananea alone for the present.
Take Nogales first" =.
The writer cautions Trevino against
acting too soon, and says:
1--WE cannot yet fix the day on
which the uprising takes place, be-
cause we must arm ourselves There
are forty revolutionary centers
throughout the country, but not all
possess sufficient arms. The junta is
working to secure funds. There are
persons who could loan money to buy
arms. If they do it the junta will is
sue the necessary receipts, which will,
ON triumph of the revolution, be re-
paid. In this manner it will be easier
to secure money. We must act when
we have the probability of success.
Above all. the movement does not lag,
but 1t will not be on Sept Is, as GER
tain papers have guessingly made it
appear. The day on which the ris-
Ing will take place cannot be named.
This depends on the various groups, or
the majority of them, being ready"

Resume OF Seasons Work Shows Local
Ball Players to Excellent
Advantage.
BOYS HAVE PLAYED THIRTY-TWO
GAMES AND WON TWENTY.FOUR
Team Has Now Disbanded and Most oil
Players Have Left wn.-..Good
Team Next Year. +.

The Bemidji baseball team of
1906 has dis banded and major
ity of the players who were at
different times members of the
organization have for the most
part left the city.
During the season the following
have played with Bemidji:
Holstein and Roy, catchers;
Farley and Lee LeGore, Hazen,
Summers, Munroeand Saunders,
pitchers; Riddell, Lewis, Hoover
and L. LeGore, first basemen;
Hoover, Hallet and Hazen, second
baseman; Summers and Hoover,
short stop; Gilmore, third base
man; Berg, Carlton and Flnr,
right field; F. LeGore and
Winters, center field; Collins and
Otto, left field.
Lee LeGore did most of the
pitching, but was not in good
physical condition, during most
of the games. However, he did
phenominal work in several
contests. Farley LeGore did
not get to going good in the
pitchers box until late in the
season, but when he got his
''spit" ball under control, he was
simply unhitable, and was the
only semi-professlonal pitcher,
except the ShaKopee man, who
beat Hibbing. r...... ....--
Hazen has pitched nice ball,
but does not like to pitch, and
was not put on the slab regu-
larly. He is as good as the best
of them. Summers pitched
several games and won all of
them. He was too valuable in
the infeld to take his regular
turn in the box, although he has
great speed and nice curves
Munroe pitched but one game,
early in the season, which he
won. ..
Saunders did not join the team
until the last game with Black
duck. He pitched great ball in
this contest and easily won out
Holstein, the catcher, began
the season with the team and
was very steady and reliable.
Roy came during the latter part
of the season and his work was
gilt edged.
It was at first base that the
team was weak all summer.
Rlddell did not have time to
practice, and was somewhat
erratic in his work, though for
the most part good. Lewis was
only fair, and Hoover makes no
pretensions of playing the first
bag, although he did very we'll.
Hallet, Hazen and Hoover all did
nice work on the second sack.
At third, Eddie Gilmore was a
tower Of strength, Collins easily
excelled the out tielders, although
Farley LeGore did fine work in
the center garden when not
pitching. u
The team played thirty-two
games, winning twenty four and
losing eight, giving the club a
per centage Of of $50, certainly
a good record. The games won
were as follows, Bagley 2,
Grand Rapids 3, Walker 2, Deer
River2, White Earth Indians 3,
Crooks'on l, Blackduck 3, AXE
'y2, Hibbing 1, Jacksons (St.
P4uI) 4, Fertile /, Clcquet 1. Lost
vert: Walker !, Blackduck 2,
Akeley |, Hibbing 4. Outside Of
the Shalsopee team, Bemidji was
the only semi-proffessional team
that defeated Hibbing this year.
Five games were played with
Hibbing, and although Bemidjj
out hit and out-tielded Hibbing
in every contest but one, luck
was with the range team and they

STANDARD FEELS SAFE.
Directors Say Com panys Position Is
Sound, Legally and Mordllg.

The directors of the Standard Oil Company
issued a circular letter yesterday to It's stock
holders, saying that the company's position is
unassailable from both a legal and a moral
standpoint. The directors declare themselves
confident that in the proceedings now instituted
the company's position Will be successfully main
tanned and vindicated. The circular follows:
Regarding the suit this day began in the
United States Court in ST. Louis, in which it
is sought in prevent the Standard OIL Company
(of New Jersey from holding any stocks or
other companies, your directors are entirely
convinced that the company's position is unas-
sailable from both a legal and n moral stand
point We confident that in the proceedings
which will follow, the company will successfully
maintain its position upon the merits and Vindi-
cate it before the public and the law.
While your directors feel that there is no ade-
quate reason for such a suit, either in the
ganzation tho conduct of the business, yet
under the circumstances 1t IS perhaps better for
your interests and the business interests Of the
country that the controversy should be removed
TO the judicial atmosphere of the courts. in
whose integrity and wisdom every citizen should
have the fullest confidence, where mere allega-
ton must give way TO legal proof.
The present organization was formed after
an exhaustive consideration Of the legal and
business problems involved. II has existed un-
challenged for many years. Everything relat-
ing to II has been matter of public report and
at every step the utmost care has been OBJ
served to conduct the business honestly and
fairly, and in accordance with not only the
spirit but the technical requirements Of the
law.
The legal organization Of your company is Of
essentially the same nature and character as
that of the other important industrial interests
OF the country. and the continuous growth and
expansion OF its business have been legitimate
and normal II is not to be lightly assumed that
there is to be q reversal of the wheels OF prog
ress or destruction Of the foundations OF the
great industrial businesses Of the country
You may be assured that in this litigation as
in all matters affecting the company, your di-
rectOrs will see that the proper steps are taken
TO protect your interests.
