DR.. WARD QU|ETLYWEDS
At WAUkESHA, WISCONSIN
Was Married Thursday to Miss Donna
Castro, Teacher in Chicago
School.

The following special telegram
from Waukesha, Wis.,, to the Min
neapolis Journal will be of intere st
to great number of Bemidji people:
"Waukesha, Wis.,, Oct. DIR,
Louis A. Ward of Bemidji, Minn.,
and Miss Donna Castro "of Chicago
appeared here yesterday and were
quietly married by Rev. W. A..
Billings.''
DR.. Ward left this city Thursday
morning, Sept. "a, for Chicago,
where he intended to be married to
Miss Donna Alice Castro last Sum-
day.
Yesterday morning the Pioneer
received telegram from the Yards
News Bureau of Chicago which read:
'Bemidji doctor welded, Wakesha,
Wis.,, Sept. &c."
Inquiries at the homes of close
friends of the doctor revealed the
fact that no one in this city had
received the news nor could they
understand why the couple were
married at Waukesha, Wis., AS no
name had been mentioned in the
telegram to the Pioneer it was
thought best to hold the news until
today, when a perusal of the Min
neapolis Journal brought the above
clipping to light.
Mrs. Ward, nee Miss Castro, was
a teacher in the Fifth grade of the
Oak Park public school of Chicago.
Miss Castro spent month this
summer visiting with friends in
this city and it was at that time
that DR.. Ward met the lady. At
that time it was whispered that
more than an ordinary friendship
had sprung up between the couple,
an opinion which has been justified
by recent events.
This is the second time that DR..
Ward has assumed the matrimonial
yoke. The first Mrs. Ward died
one year ago last July, after being
| ill with typhoid fever. Willie, eleven
years old, is the only child living as
a result of the first union.
1t is expected that DR.. Ware
will return to Bemidji and continue
to make this his home, although
his relatives in this city have hearc
nothing in regard to his future
plans.

be accepted or rejected by ballot.
Another provision is that no person
not member of the club is extended
the courtesies of the organization,
unless accompanied by member in
good standing.
The club leased the second floor
of Block 21O, known as the Hamm
Brewing Company's building, which
is on Third street, in the middle of
the south side of the block, being
centrally located and especially
adapted for club purposes.
There are two reception rooms in
the front, and these are supplied
with lot of easy chairs, mostly
rockers, with writing tables, etc.,
and every convenience for the
members.
The furniture is solid oak, finished
in NISSAN style. The floors are
carpeted with costly rugs of beauti.
full designs.
Adjoining the reception rooms is
a billiard room, 24x3O, in which there
is one billiard table and one pool
table, both of which are solid oak,
finished in mission style, matching
the balance Of the furniture of the
rooms.
There are numerous high-backed
chairs and a large amount of phara
phernalia for those who desire to play
billiards and pool. There are two
card rooms in the rear of the billiard
room, which are supplied with tables
chairs and other conveniences fol

Playing at Grand Rapids Today.

Accompanied by number of
members of the school and bunch"
of other "rooters," the members of
the Bemidji high school football
team left this noon for Grand Rap

game Of cards.
In the rear, on the right hand
side, is buffet. In the buffet is a
large Elk novelty box of the very
latest pattern, in fact, being the best
that could be bought. There are
coat rooms, closet and bath room,
etc., which are all arranged for the
convenience and comfort of the club
members.
James L George, president of the
club, made trip to Chicago and
personally bought the furniture and
fixtures which are used in the club
rooms.
Joseph Harrington of this city has
been engaged as steward of the club
and he has already won the esteem
of the members by the very efficient
manner in which he has handled the
affairs of the club.
At the present time there are fifty
six members of the club and there
are several applications to be con-
sidered. ~-

SPEAKS GLOW|NGLY OF
CLEARWATER co. FAIR
W. R. Mackenzie and Walter Markham
Say the Exhibits at BagIey Were
Very Good.

w. R. Mackenzie, secretary of the
Beltrami County Agricultural asso-
citation, and Walter Markham, assist
ant secretary, returned home last
night from Bagley, where they
attended the annual fair of the Clear
water County Agricultural associa-
ton, which was held at Bagley dur
ing the past three days.
In speaking of. the fair, Messrs.
Mackenzie and Markham were loud
in their praise of the splendid exhi-
bition given at Bagley, and -Secre-
tary Mackenzie said:

time, but I certainly never saw a
better display of vegetables, grains,
grasses and agricultural products
generally than has been shown al

Humdrom was shifted from lie to 1t.
Carver has dropped out from TT, and
Fay Brenneman has been substituted
for him.
Thornton, the science teacher in
the Bemidji school will probably act
as umpire.
The Pioneer will receive the final
score of the game, at the conclusion
this evening, and the result may be
seen at the Hotel Markham, the
Metropolitan Club rooms or George

becoming a very popular institution.
The idea of the formation of a
strictly social club with restrictions
as to heated political discussions,
etc., was conceived by H. J. Loud,
who was mainly instrumental in pro-
noting the organization.
The club was formally organized
during the month of August, some
forty of the prominent men of Be-

M. & !. Train DELAYED.

The regular north-bound Mime
sofa & international passenger train
arrived in this city last evening one
hour and half late owing to the
fact that while the train was near
Guthrie the cross-bar on the driving
wheels on the left side of the engine
became loose and knocked out the
cylinder head on that side. Another
engine was secured in this city and
the train proceeded on to Inter
national Falls.

SAFE-BLOWERS ROBBED
PEQUOT BANK LAST NIGHT
Forced Entrance in Rear of Bank Blew Open Sae and
Made Successful "Get'AWay."- Secured but 500:
Papers Undisturbed

Pequot, Oct. 3.-(Special to Pho
neer. The Bank of Pequot was
entered by robbers last night, the
safe was blown and about 500
in currency was taken from the
vault, the robbers making their
escape on a handcar, and no trace
of them has yet been found.
1t was about 2:3O o'clock this
morning when deafening explosion
aroused the residents of the village,
who all rushed into the streets, after
some delay in the confusion that
ensued after the explosion.
A crowd soon congregated at the
bank, from the interior of which
smoke was issuing, and open doors
and floors strewn with papers and
books told plainly of the presence of
robbers who had blown the safe and
rihed it's contents.
Although there was but little
delay in getting to the bank after
the explosion, no one was seen in the
vicinity of the bank and there was
nothing to indicate the presence of
the robbers except the wrecked
interior of the bank, near the vault,
and some footprints in the sand in
front of the building, and also the
rear.
Investigation showed that the
thieves had gained entrance to the
bank building by forcing a window
at the rear. The doors of the vault
had been carefully soaped and nitro
glycerine used to blow open the

doors; everything indicating that the
deed had been committed by experts.
From appearances outside the bank
1t is believed that several men were
engaged in the job, as the foot
prints in front of bank show that a
man had been stationed there as a
sentry and walked back and forth,
keeping watch.
That the job was done expedi-
tiously is shown by the fact that
no one was seen near the bank
when the Pequot people began
getting out on the street. A hand
car was stolen from the local Sec
ton storage house, and the robbers
undoubtedly made their escape to
the southwark in the direction of
Brainerd, as it is known that hand
car was pumped" down the line
after the robbery.
The robbers did not get much
for their desperate action, it being
stated by the bank officials that
not more than 500 in currency
was secured from the vault. The
papers in the safe were not DESTROYED
or taken away; and the damage to
the interior of the building is esti-
mated at between SIS and 500.
So that, everything considered, the
visit of the robbers was not a very
successful raid.

institution, and was organized
some two years ago, ]. F. Buttloth
