The author got $4,000 down, with the
agreement that half the profits should
come to him after the publishers have
made $50, 900 from 1t. Churchill is be

the contract for building the

Stoner has all the levels and other
surveying necessary for the

The Bosworths have until Octo-

Tho 100 foot ladder from which
the high dive is made into a net
at Minnesota avenue and Fourth

night, and Mrs. J. P. Duncalf,
who ran into one of the guy wires
with horse and buggy, is thank

The ladder was broken in
several places, but no other
damage was done.
Mrs. Duncalf was driving a
single rig south on Minnesota
avenue last evening atabout 8:45,
and when she came to the ladder
turned out to the left far enough,
as she supposed, to clear the
obstruction. There were, how
ever, no warning lights hung out,

an excusable one, being made.
Lipps pitched for Blackduck.
He struck out three and allowed
six hits. Blackduck made seven
errors. Their third baseman,
Healey of Red Lake Falls, did
some clever fielding. They also
had in their lineup George
Bungo, the Akeley catcher, and
Eddie Carl. who played short for
Bemidji two years ago; but Be

and was too strong for the allies.

Altogether, nine Blackduck

THIRD DAY, AND
FUN INCREASES.
Carnival Grows in Interest With
Balloon Ascension and Other
Attractions.

This has been the best day of
the carnival. Ideal weather, in
creasing crowds, and growing
enthusiasm have all added to the
occasion, and without a serious
accident to mar the fun, the
carnival has been all that could
be desired.
Today was "Walker Day." al
though Walker was not very
much in evidence.
The people that were expected
from that village and failed to
come, were more than made
up for, however, by the visitors
that arrived from Cass Lake,
Blackduck, and other villages up
the M. & I.
All the free attractions came
off as advertised, and the high
dive was pulled off as usual, al
though the ladder was knocked
down by a rig last night. It
was put up again this afternoon
and was in working order by the
time the act was scheduled to
take place.
The long-looked-for balloon
ascension was given last night.
The big bag of gas was inflated
on the old ball grounds, and the
start was made from there. The
aeronaut sailed high into the air
and descended IN his parachute
without an accident.
This afternoon there was the
first of the series of two ball
games between Grand Rapids
and Bemidji, and a second racing
program was held at the fair
grounds.
Tomorrow is "Cass Lake Day"
and a large bunch is expected
from thatvillage. Colonel Whittle
went oyer this afternoon to look
after a little advertising of the
show in the neighboring town
and promised to get the people
here if he had to help every one
of them onto the train himself.
