Died Suddenly from Illness.

Early yesterday morning, the body
of Lacy Walsh, an old-time lumber
jack, was found in a bed above the
Salvation Army barracks in rooms
conducted by N. w. Brown. Life
had been extinct for some time, and
although death had not been ex
pected, demise of Walsh was under
natural conditions.
It appears that Walsh had been
working in the logging camps of W.
T. Blakely, near Mallard, and was
taken i'll. He came to Bemidji and
stopped with N. w. Brown, at the
latter's restaurant and rooming.
house on Minnesota avenue.
Walsh was not considered very
i'll, when he retired for the night,
and he was probably seized during
the night with some complication
which caused death.
The body of Walsh was held at
the Lahr morgue, awaiting possible
instructions from relatives as to
what disposition to make of the
remains.

Drury Has Morrison's Lake.

]. E. Drury, who owns a farm
out in the Twin lake country, was
among the visitors in the city
today who was looking over the
Xmas presents so temptingly dis.
played by local merchants.
Drury. in a confidential interview
with the editor of this great family
necessity, stated that he has on his
premises phenomenon in the form
of a lake. There is no apparent
inlet or outlet to this lake, and Drury
solemnly asserts that the body of
water, which is frozen solid at the
present time, is the lake which was
formerly located near the Red Lake
Indian agency. He also says that
the lake was left in his back yard
by the flock of ducks which re-
remained in the lake at the agency
so long that they were frozen in,
according to John C. Morrison, and
the fowls became exhausted when
they cot as far as Drury's place,
depositing the frozen lake on his
premises. a-

Moore's Wyandoites Did Well

A. L. Moore of Blackjack was
one of the prominent poultry breed
ers who participated in the recent
poultry show which was held at
Crookston, and he did very we'll with
his entries.
Mr.. Moore's exhibit of Wyandottes
was the talk of the show, and
popular approval was unanimously
given the judges decisions, who
gave Mr.. Moore the following a.

BOND PROPOSITION WAS
CARRIED, SIX TO ONE
Voters of Independent School District
Favor Bonds for Erection of New
Building.

At the special school election held
yesterday afternoon and last evening
for the purpose of voting on the
proposition to bond the. ind ependent
school district of Bemidji in the sum
of $4,000 with which to erect new
high school building on the site
recently acquired by the district.
The proposition was carried, by a
majority of six to one, and the vote
was so decisive that apparently
there should be no difficulty in the
floating of the bonds as far as the
two-thirds majority requirement is
concerned.
Two hundred and ninety votes
were cast at the election. Of this
number 248 were favorable to the
proposition, Al were against, and 1
ballot was thrown out, being illeg-
ally made out. The number of votes
cast was comparatively small, but is
accounted for from the fact that the
holiday season is in full swing and
voters were otherwise busily engaged.

found guilty and fined $50 and costs,
the specific charge being having in
his possession illegally one moose

of having the balance of the hides,
which included two additional
moose hides and several deer and
fawn hides that were in the red, the
fawn skins being spotted, showing
conclusively that the animals had
been killed out of season.

CONTRIBUMED.
The Big Bemidg" basketball team,
at an interesting meeting which was
held last evening, decided to dis
band under the management which
has prevailed thus far this season,
and further voted to reorganize
under new management and con.
tinue the schedule as already
arranged and to add to the list a
number of games with high-class
teams throughout the northwest.
After a heated discussion as to
the policy which had been pursued
by the former management, the
members of the team voted to con-
tinue Harry Cell as captain of the
team, and also elected Professor H.
E. Biddinger as manager, to succeed
Lee Hebron.
In addition to the schedule which
has already been arranged, Mana
ger Biddinger will add several other
games that will prove highly inter
esting. An effort will be made to
have games here with the fast Y.
M. C.. A. team of Duluth, which
disputed the northern Minnesota
championship with Bemidji, last year,
and claimed game which was tie.
The Grand Rapids City team,
which is making a fine record, will
also be asked for games, as will

A Pleasant Holiday Bargain.

Some one can secure a splendid
holiday bargain by calling on the
Pogue Bros, at Pogue's barn and
looking over the team of horses,
harness and sleighs, which is cap
able of hauling 5000 feet of timber
on, and which they are offering at a
very low figure. This is the cheap
est bargain ever offered in Beltrami
county and some one should snap it

COMMENDS JUDGE FOR
EXTENDING CoURTESIES
Duluth News Tribune Says Some Nice
Things of Judge Stanton and
B. F. Wright.

The Duluth News-Tribune says of
the pleasantries which have been
recently exchanged between Judge
Stanton and Judge-Elect Wright:
Zone of the most interesting
features of the late campaign in
Minnesota was the contest for the
judgeship of the Fifteenth Judicial
district. The race between A. l..
Thwing, the clever young county
attorney of Itasca county, and B. +.
Wright, the well-known Hubbard
county lawyer, made close and
exciting primary contest. c. W.
Stanton, who had been appointed, to
succeed Judge Marshall A. Spooner,
filed as an independent candidate
fol the nomination. Being
Democrat, he had the support of his
own party and his nomination was
not contested.
THE victory of Mr.. Wright at
the primary election left him
pitted against judge with good
record, a genius for making friends
and the experience CLEANED from
editing and publishing newspapers
and conducting a lively law practice.
Judge Stanton proved himself to
be a whirlwind campaigner, but the
people of the district declared at
the polls for the quiet, capable
Republican nominee.
The result was so close that
there vas considerable talk of
contest, and it was we'll known
that prominent Democratic politi-
clans in St. Paul had urged Judge
Stanton to ask for recount. He
did not make known his decision
until he had been officially advised
by the state canvassing board of
Mr.. Wright's election.
Then he did what every one of
his friends would expect of him.
He congratulated the victor, express
sing his belief that the latter had
conducted his campaign fairly and
honorably and assuring him of per-
sonal good will.
This action on Judge Stanton's
part will add several hundred to his
list of active friends and admirers.
His best friends have regretted the
fact that he had even considered
contesting Mr.. Wright's election,
which was manifestly won in fair
manner. Judge Stanton owns a
fine newspaper plant at the flourish
ing town of International Falls, and
enjoyed good law practice there
at the time of his appointment to
the judgeship.
There is some talk of his return
ing to the Falls, and some of his
possible settling in the Duluth legal
colony, while it is considered as
probable that he will remain and
practice in Bemidji, his present
home. He will have among his
assets wherever he settle the advant-
age of having made no mistake in
determining his final attitude toward
his late opponent at the polls"
Judge Stanton has authorized the
Pioneer to state positively that he
will remain in Bemidji, make this
city his home, and engage actively
in the practice of law, with cham
bers in this city.
The people of Bemidji will give
Judge Stanton a royal welcome into
the legal circle of the city. He is a
fine lawyer, and a progressive anc
loyal citizen, all of which is tc
Bemidji's gain.

EASTER SERVICES

The Easter services in the several churches here on Sunday. in commem moration of the resurrected Savior were appropriate to the occasion. The Methodist church was tastefully deco rated with palm leaves, and a profu- sion of roses. In the archway. was placed a large palm cross studded with roses. Much credit is due Rev. MT Crouch and Mrs. Crouch for their ef- forts in trimming the church interior so artistically.
 A pleasing feature of the Easter ex- ercises at the Tabernacle was the floral decoration which completely cov- cred the pulpit, and a large United States flag made. of flowers, was hung directly over the pulpit The young girls in the second class, under the di- rectiOn of Mrs. Fannie Dana had charge of the work of decorating. The Bap- tist church was also prettily trimmed for garlands of roses and other flow CTS were tastefully arranged there. Special music was rendered in all these places of worship.
