CHAMPIONSHIP GAME ON
FOR NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT
"Big Bemidg' and Duluth Y NJ C. A. Basketball Teams
Will Contest for Supremacy at Bemidji Rink...-.
Very Fast Game Looked for.

The management of the Big
Bemidg" basketball team has closed
a deal whereby a game will be
played in this city on Friday even
ing of this week with the strong Y.
NJ. c. A. basketball team of Duluth.
The visiting team is said to be the
championship basketball organiza-
ton of Duluth, and claims the
championship of northeastern Min
nesota; and as the big Bemidg"
has yet to be defeated by basket
ball team in the middle or western
portion of the north half of the
state, the game to be played next
week will be for the basket cham
pionship of northern Minnesota as
a whole.
The Duluth team has been de-
feated but once this season, and the
defeat was administered by a Wis
consin organization (from Superior)
Big Bemidg" lost one game this
winter, and that defeat was at the
hands of the Grand Forks team last
week.
The status of the Duluth and the
Bemidji teams is about "stand-off,"

midi in the morning and arriving
at Minneapolis or St. Paul early
IN the evening. There is also another
route open. via Duluth or Crookston.
But, in order to take either of
these latter routes, one cannot leave
Bemidji for Duluth later than noon
(via Duluth reaching the cities the
following morning; and via Crooks
ton, leaving Bemidji at $3.50 in the
afternoon, and arriving the next
morning. Either route destroys the
better part of one-half of day and
an entire night, owing to the lay
over at either Crookston or Duluth.
1t would be vastly different if a
night train to the cities could be
put on the M. & I. The train could
leave at night and arrive at St.
Paul or Minneapolis the following
morning. Sleepers could be put on
the train, which could stop at only
the principal cities, thereby making
fast time. Everyone with whom I
have talked is heartily in favor of
the night train; and, as I have said
before, I am certain that the night
train would be a paying invest
ment for the railway company and
a great convenience for the bust
ness men of northern Minnesota"

NIGHT TRAIN TO THE TWIN

The Minnesota & International

a night train between International

Robbers Loot St. Cloud Stores:
Policeman Becker Morally Shot

Brainerd, Jan. 22-(Special to
Pioneer. )-Passengers who arrived
here at o'clock this afternoon from
St. Cloud, report that Harry Becker,
night police officer at St. Cloud, was
shot four times through the body
last night by gang of burglars, and
that he is not expected to survive
the balance of the day. -
It appears that robbers had en-
tered several business houses at ST..
Cloud and were getting away with
a considerable amount of loot when
Policeman Becker ran afoul of the
bunch.
The story told by the passengers
is that Becker had arrested one of
the robbers and was taking him to
the police station, when he was
ruthlessly shot down by other men,
bers of the gang.
Becker was found on the street
about a block from the Grand
Central hotel and blood was flowing
freely from the four wounds in his
body. He was partially unconscious
when found and has remained in a
semi-unconscious condition ever
since being removed from the street.

Coat Thief Appreciated.

A. L. Curtis, alias Russell Leo,
was taken into custody this morning
by the local police and lodged in
the city Jail, on instructions from
Chief of Police Holt of Fosston on
the charge of having stolen an over
coat at Fosston Monday night.
This noon Gust Holt, chief of
police at Fosston, came over from
that place and identified Curtis as
being the party wanted at Fosston.
When Chief Holt visited the jail,
Leo" admitted that he had the coat
and that it was in a room at the
Hotel Burroughs, where he had
registered. ...:.s -. =s.s
Leo" also suggested that he
would like to have the case settled
without having to go to Fosston.
This proposition Chief Holt could
not accept. He told the prisoner
that he might possibly avoid prose-
cution at Fosston by turning the
coat over and paying the costs in
the case. ~
1t appears that Leo" claims to
be a palmist and has visited various
points in North Dakota and also in
Minnesota:
He stopped at the Commercial
hotel at Fosston. Last Monday
night he took French leave Of the
hotel and boarded the train for
Bemidji, first taking a valuable over
coat belonging to Sam Olson. The
theft was traced to Leo and his
arrest here followed complaint of
the officers at Fosston.
Curtis was taken to Fosston this
afternoon.
