Dream OF Wealth DispelIed.

N. Perrault, who owns refresh
ment parlor at Big Falls, spent
part of yesterday in Bemidji and
was also at Cass Lake, attending
the land opening.
Mr.. Perrault had his good right
eye on a parcel of land near Big
Falls, on which he was certain he
could make several thousand dollars,
but upon presenting his application
for filing to the land office Officials
at Cass Lake, he was informed that
the Northern Pacific Railway had
scripped the land seven years ago,
and Mr.. Perrault's visions of great
wealth were rudely dispelled. He
went to Farley last evening and
returned this morning, and spent
the day in the city seeing Pawnee
Bill's Wild West.

LEE HALLET'S CONDITION
REPORTED MUCH BETTER.
Popular N. & !. Engineer Apparently
Beginning to Recover From Attack
of Brighfs Disease.

Word comes from Brainerd that
Lee Hallet, the M. &. I. engineer, is
much improved over his critical ILL
ness, and there is possibility that
he will recover.
Mr.. Hallet was taken very ill,
about month ago, with Bright's
disease, and his condition became so
serious that hope of saving his life
was abandoned by his attending
physician. It appears, however,
that he has shown remarkable vital
ity and the disease has taken a turn
for the better, and there is a bare
possibility that he may fully recover.
Hallet is popular with everyone
living along the line of the NJ. & I.
and there will be general pleasure
over the news that he is better.

TWO BRIDGES TO span
RIVER AT L|TTLEFORK
One to Connect Village Of Littletork
With New RailWay...0ther for
Township.

Littlefork, July 13.-(Special to
the Pioneer. AT meeting of the
board of supervisors of the town of
Jameson held Thursday, contract
for the construction of steel bridge
across the Littlefork river on the
section line between 9 and 10 was
awarded to the Hennepin Bridge
company, of Minneapolis. The
structure is to be constructed of
steel, upon two wooden piers, and
will consist of but one span. r
The determined effort on the
part of the board to-tfeat all Sec
tions of the township alike in the
matter of improvements is being
favorably commented upon, and the
fact that the settlers on the west
side of the river will soon be in
direct communication with the vii
lage, is a source of great satisfac-
ton to them. The cost of the
bridge will be $4,000. -..-.

picting the looting of a treasure
laden mountain express, and in
scene, character and equipment is
far removed from the old-time
tented routine. A locomotive engine
and two passenger coaches are en-
ployed in the presentation, and
thrilling realism abounds from start
to finish.
The crowd in the city attending
the show is a record-breaker.
The M. & I. passenger from the
north brought down five full coach
loads of people, while the Red Lake
train also brought a bunch that
filled the cars to the ratings.
There have been no disorders to
speak of, and the employees of the
show have been courteous and we'll

and Performanc, Much Better than What Had
Been Expected-..ls Clean Show

Pawnee Bills Wild West and Far
East show gave a street parade this
morning that was unique in the
annals of Bemidji pageants. Twenty
foreign races we're represented in
the long line, ahorse and high on
glittering chariots, and they made a
spectacle of fantastic color and
picturesque movement long to be
remembered.
The procession was led by Pawnee
Bill himself, looking very heroic
aside prancing sorrel horse. He
is one of the very notable figures of
the early west, and the only paleface
ever honored by the Indians as
white chief" He has been cow
boy, scout, guide trapper and soldier
and acquitted himself with historic
fame in every one of the fields of
endeavor.
Miss May Lille, close behind,
was very prett! and trim. She holds
many records for craftsmanship and
as an equestrienne is the despair and
envy of all other women who ride.
Scores of Indians, cowboys, cow
girls, vacqueros, gauchos and
cavalrymen followed in the wild
west" department of the parade, and
then came the far east" with it's
hundreds of recruits from Europe,
Asia, Africa and Australia.
