.BELTRAM| COUNTY IS IN
MINNESOTA BANANA BELT
Crop Of Wild Strawberry Vines Which
Were Blooming. Some Had
Second-Crop Berries.

Truly Bemidji and Beltrami county
is fast becoming noted as the tru
banana belt" of Minnesota, as was
demonstrated by the finding of a
bed of wild strawberry plants which
were in bloom, indicating the second
crop of berries for this season.
R. E. Fisher, operator at the M.
& I. depot, while walking along the
west side of Lake Bemidji, some
three miles north of the city limits,
found big patch of strawberry
plants, many of which we're in bloom.
He picked several of them and
brought them to Bemidji. The
berries were just beginning to tinge
red and gave promise of berrying
quite plentifully provided they were
not nipped by the frost before
maturity.

Dance at Coliseum, Oct. is.

A grand ball will be given at the
Coliseum on the evening of Friday,
October 16, under the management
of the Big Bemidg" basketball boys.
A basketball convention will be
held in the city on the 10 and the
ball will be given in honor of the
visiting delegates to the convention.
The impression has been given
out that the dance was public
Dance" but this is erroneous. Invi-
tations are being issued by the
basketball boys and no one will be
admitted to the dance who has not
been sent an invitation.
This method is used so as to do
away with the possibility of any
undesirable characters attending the
dance.
: All who receive invitations should
by all means 20 to the ball and
thus assist the boys in maintaining
their basketball team.

Last night, Sam Kee, Chinaman
who conducts a laundry in this city,
appeared at the home of Mrs. Sc
berger and inquired after Mrs. Sc
berger. He was given a close ques-
tioning and admitted that he had
given opium to other people in
Bemidji, but strenuously denied
having furnished any of the drug to
Mrs. Seberger, He was confronted
with the box of stuff which had
been found in the house, but would
not admit that he had supplied the
sick women with the fatal narcotic.
The Chinaman was loud in his
protestations that "opium no do it
it no killee." Kee was taken into
custody in order to prevent his leav-
ing the city if he tried to do so, and
in the meantime watchers have been
at Mrs. Seberger's bedside, hoping
that she would recover conscious
ness before the final end came and
would be induced to tell where she
got the drug.
The Chinaman is being held in
custody and if it can be proved that
he furnished the drug to Mrs. Sc
berger he will be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law.

BEMlDJI HIGH WILL PLAY
BAGLEY HIGH, SATURDAY
Good Game in Prospect for Downtown Park,-Prof
Yeaeer Writes from Fosston that Fosston Would
Like Return Game.

The boys of the high school foot
ball squad are practicing hard each
day in preparation for the game
with the Bagley High School which
will be played on the down town
park in this city next Saturday after
noon.
AS there is no more money in the
coach fund, Coach Bright has been
relieved and Mr.. Thornton, the
science teacher, has taken charge of
the team. Mr.. Thornton is showing
himself to be good coach.
The squad has not been discour-
aged by the result of the game with
Grand Rapids and is profting by
the knowledge of the weak points
which were shown up in that game.
Coach Thornton is putting the
boys through process of training
which will make a team or bust"
in the attempt, special attention
being paid to the line which was
almost neglected before.
The second team is out every
night now and is developing bunch
of players which will make some of
those on the first team hustle to
keep their positions.
The down town park has been
secured for Saturdays game, which
will commence at 3 O'Clock, a time
when the business men of the CITY
are least busy and they should attend
the game in a body as it is only
few minutes walk to the gridiron.
