KICKS ON ROCKS
AND FOUL BALLS
A. G.. Mclean Asks Council for
Pr0tection-Tellso of Sundays
Incident.

There was no meeting of the
city council last night, because
of lack of a quorum, but several
matters were taken up in an in
formal way.
Amongt|1e questions discussed
was the incident at the base ball
game Sunday when foul fell in
the yard of A. G. Mclean, and
the latter was greeted with a
shower of stones from the ball
park upon refusing to give up the
ball; and the matter Of boys and
men bathing in the lake in plain
view Of passers by without de-
cent covering. ..a.
Mr.. Mclean was present with
a handful of stones which he said
he had picked up in his yard and
which were thrown by unknown
parties in the park. He declared
that the foul ball had struck his
house and bounded back into his
yard, and that it had come but a
few inches from the head of his
baby.
II have no objectian to the
boys playing ball on the grounds
Sundays, or at least I am not
making any kick on that score, :
declared Mr.. Mclean, 'but l do
want protection. This is not the
first ball that has struck my
house. In fact I have four balls
to offer in evidence. All I ask is
that I may be allowed to sit on
my porch with my family Sunday
afternoons without being in dan.
gei of being struck with ball
and pelted with stones. "
No action could be taken, but
it was agreed that the only thing
to do was to compel the bal
management to erect wire net.
ting high enough to stop all the
foul balls.
The bathing nuisance was
brought to the attention of the
aldermen by Councilman Miller,
He declared that in the river in
plain view of the people crossing
the bridge, and at Diamond point,
men and boys are in the habit o.
going IN swimming without a de
cent covering, if they wear any
covering at all, and be thought
the matter should be called to the
attention Of the mayor.

Two LarlmOre Dead Idohtified as
Henry krauso and Frank
Anderson.
KRAUSE LEFT HERE LAST
WEEK FOR WHEAT FIELDS
Anderson May Have Been Former
Bartender at Syoa
Hotel.

The two men who were burned
to death in fire at Larimore, N.
D., Sunday night have been
identified as Henry Krause and
Frank Anderson of Bemidji. The
Grand Forks Herald says of the
fire: z.=s=
sThe hands and feet Of the
men were burned off and the
features were rendered entirely
unrecognizable. A watch found
on the body of one of the men
and a peculiar gold filing in his
teeth, were points which led a
Bemidji man at Larimore yes
terday to identify the body as
that Of Krause.
"Krause had been at Larimore
with a man named Anderson.
Anderson was siderably taller
than Krause, and as the body is
+ that of a taller man, it is pre-
sumed to be that of Anderson.
Both men are known to have
slept in the loft of the barn Sat
urday night, but there is no one
who can be found who is certain
that they were there Sunday
| night
Henry Krause is q brother of
William Krause, who is in the
employ Of the Bemidji Brewing
company, and the latter left last
might for Larimore to bring the
remains to Bemidji. Krause is q
married man; and has lived in Be-
midi for some time past. His
wife accompanied William Krause
to Larimore.
Henry leftB Bemidii last W ednes-
day for the purpose of getting
work in Dakota during threshing.
It was learned by telephone last
night that he had been seen iu5
Larimore by William Kelp, who
was there.
A man by the name of Frank.
Anderson was bartender at the
Svea hotel, until last Friday,
when he left for the west. Ander-
son was unmarried, rs years old,
and was about five feet eight
inches tall. Whether this is the
Frank Anderson mentioned in
the messages is not positively
known.

LIGHT ON GAME
AND FISH LAWS
Cut This Out and Keep It and
You Will Be Always
+ Posted.


= Posted.
SO many people have of late
asked the Pioneer as to the pro-
visions of the game and fish laws
of the state, the open and closed
seasons for the various varieties
of fish and game, that herewith
is given a brief summary of the
law now in force relative there
to. ....-.. z. S..
The season for lawfully taking
pike, perch, muskellunge, crop,
pies, sun6sh, bullheads and all
other varieties of fish, except
trout and black, grey and Oswego
bass, opens March I, and they
may be taken in that manner
until the first OF March following.
Black, grey and Oswego bass
may be caught with q hook and
line from May 20 until March l
following. It's strictly against
the law to sell these varieties of
bass. 4.
1 Pickerel, suckers, req horse,
carp and bullheads may be
speared in the open at any time,
without limit.
No fish less than six inches in
length can be lawfully caught,
except minnows for bait, rock
bass, sunfish and bu]lheads.
No nets, except minnow nets,
can be used at any time, except
from November 10 to December
10, for catching whitefsh and
trellipies, and license therefor
must first be secured from the
game and fish com mission.
Fish may be sold when legally
caught, excepting bass and trout,
and may be shipped to any part
of the state, also, when legally
caught, excepting troutand bass.
A nonresident may ship fifty
pounds of fish on the train on
which he is riding out of the
state, providing the fish are
plainly marked and legally
caught. ii
The open season for game
birds is as follows: Prairie
chicken, turtle dove, snipe.
pinnated, whlte-breasted or
sharp tailed grouse, woodcock,
upland plover and golden plover,
September l to Novem Der 1
following. Partridge, quail,
ruffed grouse or pheasant, other
than Mongolian, Chinese ring
neck or English pheasant,
October to Decemb Der 1. Wild
duck, wild goose, brant or any
variety of aquatic fowl, Septem-
ber to December l.
It is necessary for any hunter
to procure a small game license
in order to hunt game birds in
any county Of which he is not a
bona fda resident. The license
is not necessary for hunting
game birds in ones own county
These can be procured from the
resident county auditor, and the
license also covers big game, as
heretofore. =
The season for hunting deer
and moose opens on Novem bel
10 and closes November 30, and
any person hunting big game
must in all cases have license
whether hunting in his home
county or not.

FISH With TEETH
AND BIG BRISTLES
APPEARS TO BE CROSS BETWEEN
RAzoR-BAcK HOG AND
RED SNAPPER.

One of the most unique curiosities
on exhibition in Pensacola in years
was exhibited at the Paflor Market
yesterday, in the shape Of a fish,
which to all appearances is cross
between a razor-back hog and red
snapper. The curiosity was caught
by the crew of the fishing smack
Minerva of Saunders & Co.'S fleet.
The fish has long bristles on its
back, just the same as the razor-back
swine, and what makes it more Of
curiosity than ever is the fact that 1t
has sharp pointed teeth of a perfect
white in color. Another thing con-
nected with the fish is that it has
double mouth-that is, mouth within
a mouth. One of the mouths jumps
in and out of the other and the one
that projects out is filled with teeth.
. A crowd gathered in front Of the
place where the fish was on exhibit
ton and great interest was displayed.
An old fisherman stated that it is a
pig fish, but other than that threw
no light on the curiosity.
The fish will in all probability be
photographed and sent to to the
national museum.

Pathetic Case is Being Considered

BeggS.
TWO WHITE YOUTHS AcKNoL.
EDGE ENTERING WITHOUT
BREAkTNG-ONE HAS NO PAR
ENTS AND THE OTHER PRAc-
TICALLY IN THE SAME FIX
ABOUT FOURTEEN YEARS OLD.

Howard Parker and G. T. Castle,
the two white boys arrested during
the week on a charge of entering
without breaking into Kress's store,
entered a plea of guilty before Grim
inal Judge Beggs, yesterday after
noon. Sentence was deferred
The history of the youths no mat
ter what their crime may be. is a
pathetic one. Parker has 30 father
and his mother, it is stated, shows
him little, if any, attention. Tue Cas-
tie boy lost his parents during the ep-
idemic which existed here during the
past year.
Parker informed Judge Beggs that
ne had brothers in Mobile and the
Castle boy relatives in Alabama.
Judge Besgs after hearing their state
ments instructed Deputy Sheriff
Sanders to write TO the relatives of
the boys and ascertain IL they will
take care Of them and provide for
them. The officer vas also instructed

serves of the opportunity yesterday
to enter pleas of guilty to the charges
against them in the county criminal

pleas of guilty, as follows:
Mitchell Johnson, colored, charged
with petit larceny, $40 and costs or
two months in the county Jail, Sen

Tor.
Charles Costello a white man, was
assessed $40 and costs or forty-fve

which he was sentenced yesterday.

Judge Beggs sustained his reputa-

every case he not only assessed heavy
fines, but imposed jail sentences as

Judge Beggs undoubtedly meets with
the approval of all law-abiding citi-
