guard Of wine growers, among whom
were many women, which had been
nightly watching over the safety OF
their leader, was on duty as usual;
but when the wine growers found
themselves surrounded by the armed
forces Of the government they did not
attempt any resistance. When M.
Ferroul appeared in custody of po-
lice commissary the crowd momen-
tarily threatened rescue, but the
mayor begged that there be no conflict
with the troops and he was placed in
a carriage and, escorted by 100 cuiras-
s1ers, taken to the railroad station at
Narbonne, where a special train was
waiting, and started Immediately for

Intense excitement Prevails at Mar

At Argelliers the state and police
authorities, escorted by an imposing
military force, raided the headquar-

wine growers organization at day
break with warrants for the arrest Of
Marcellin Albert and the members OF

that the leader Of the movement and
several OF his lieutenants had already

Strong forces Of troops are securing

the fact that the people burned the

ADDITIONAL LOCAL MATTER
INTERESTING GOSSIP
FOR LOCAL BALL FANS
Akeley Will Have Strong Team.-
Roy Goes West..-Summers
Again With Duluth.

That Akeley intends to have one
of the strongest baseball teams in
the north country is evidenced by
the following item, taken from the
last issue of the Akeley Tribune:
Manager Gould of the Akeley
team left for Manomen Thursday
morning, where will sign Weaver,
Carl, Hallett, and Emerson, four of
the fastest men in northern Mime
sofa and three of whom played with
the local team during the past few
seasons. A few of the present team
will be retained, but a majority of
the boys are not in the class de-
manded by the local fans, although
they do quite we'll in their class.
Akeley fans will support a good
team, but are out with their ham,
mers" when it comes to bum ball
playing. Long Prairie is especially
requested to play a return date in
the near future. The team will
play at Cass Lake the Fourth"
All four of the above named are
Indians and known in Bemidji.
Carl, Emerson and Hallett have
played with local teams in the past,
and Weaver has been seen here
several times. The boys are, fast
players and will greatly strengthen
the Akeley bunch.
Summers is again playing with
the Duluth white Sox," after hav-
ing been suspended for Indifferent
playing. Summers. has an uncon-
trollable temper, and it is said that
his suspension was due to his hav-
ing thrown a ball into the grand
stand while in a game, his rage re-
sulting from booting" a grounder.
Summers is very fast player, but
his fits of anger render him useless
at times.
Leigh LeGore, who recently went
to Minot to pitch for the ball team
at that place, did not start out very
auspiciously. He was batted very
freely the first two games, but will
probably improve from now on.
Leigh is great hot-weather slab
bist."
IT'S said that "Red'Freeman, the
great southpaw of Hibbing, has not
been showing good form so far this
season, and has not pitched good
ball, If nothing has happened to
Freeman's left wing, he will be mow-
ing down opposition batsmen as
regular as ever before long.
Ed. Terrell, the old Little Falls
pitcher who played with the Cass
Lake team a portion of last year,
is now member of the crack Leeds,
N. D., team, and is doing great
work. He is said to have world
of speed this year, and has already
officiated on the slab in two games
where the opponents were shut out.
Louis Roy, who has been playing
with the Duluth White Sox in the
Northern-Copper Country League,
and who has been in Bemidli visit
ing for several days, left last night
for Devils Lake, where he will play
with the local team of that place.
Roy is one of the very best semi
professional players in Minnesota.
He is steady, has a good head, is a
reliable hitter and thoroughly under
stands the game: Local FANS re-
greet that he could not be retained to
play with Bemidji.
