BALL AND BRUSH SHOW
THE EARTH ROTATES

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-Foucault's
demonstration of the earth's rotation
was repeated In New York Monday
when cannon ball weighing lao
pounds, suspended by single wire 81
feet long, from the dome OF st. PaulS
chapel at Columbia university, was
set swinging.
A fine camers hair brush, attached
to the bottom of the ball, passed over
an ink pad as the ball swung and
clearly marked It's course on the eight
foot dial on the chapel floor. AZ
though II was thought there was a
slight elluptical movement of the
giant pendulum, IL was not thought
to interfere with the success OF the
experiment.

FIRST ANNUAL MILITARY
BALL WAS GRAND SUCCESS
One Hundred Couple We're in Attendance and the Arrange
ments We're Of the Best.-The Hall Was Decorated
With the National Colors.

The first annual ball given in the
city hall last night under the aus
pieces of Company K, BemidjIs new
militia company, was one of the
most successful affairs, both from a
social and financial standpoint, that
was ever given in this city.
The ball was under the direct
management of the non-commission-
ed officers of the company, and the
different committees left nothing un.
done that could possibly augment
the success of the ball.
The decoration committee prefom-
ed their work in a very thorough
manner, the national colo1s of red,
white and blue being carried out in
IN elaborate manner. At different
points in the hall there were guns
crossed, and there was an array of

Owing to the expressed wish of
the Bemidji C. A. R. post that there
be no sports in this city while the
memorial exercises were being con-
Quoted on Memorial day, the Bemidji
ball team will not play in this city
May 30th, but will go to another
town for two games, one to be played
Saturday, the other Sunday.
The Bemidji team will 20 to Cole
raine, where they will play Memorial
day. Koch, who has been in the
city for several days, waiting for a
try-out with the locals, will be taken
to Coleraine and placed on the firing
line for Bemidji in Saturdays game
against the strong Coleraine bunch.
Koch claims to have played with the
Fargo team of the Northern league,
and also with prominent teams in
New York.
On Sunday, Bemidji will play
against Bovey at Bovey. 1t is more
than likely that Baumgartner will
pitch Sundays game for Bemidji.
Roy, the old reliable back-stop for
Bemidji will catch both games.

b. F. BOYD IS ARRESTED;
PAY FINE, OR Be JAILED
Boyd Was Convicted of Having Shot
Cow Moose While Hunting
Near Northome.
ADJUTANT GENERALS OFFICE.
Fred B. Wood, Adjutant General.

B. F. Boyd, a resident of Brainerd
who was, in 1905, convicted of hav-
ing killed a COW moose and SEN
fenced to pay fine of $50 and costs,
has been taken into custody at Brain
erd by Deputy Sheriff Fish of Grand
Rapids, and will be compelled to
either pay the $50 and costs, in all
amounting to Sis, or serve a term
of sixty days in the county Jail of
Itasca county.
Boyd hunted during the fall of
1905 in the vicinity of Northome,
acting as guide to several hunting
parties. He was later arrested,
charged with having killed a cow
moose, and his trial was held in
Grand Rapids in December, 1905.
The case was hard fought one,
but the proof was overwhelmingly
against Boyd and the Grand Rapids
jury did a rare thing in a game case,
brought in verdict of guilty
against Boyd.
Boyd was sentenced to pay fine
of $50 and costs, (about $175) or
to serve sentence of sixty days in
the county jail.
Boyd did considerable quibbling
in connection with paying the fine
and commitment wasfnally issued.
For some reason Boyd has been
allowed to enjoy his liberty, being
most of the time at Brainerd, instead
of paying his fine or serving sixty
days in jail.
While E. E. Mcdonald of this
city was trying case at Brainerd
for the State Game & Fish Com.
mission last week, he found that
Boyd had been drawn to serve on
the jury at the term Of district court
at Brainerd.
MI. Mcdonald at once wired the
authorities at Grand Rapids, and
after considerable delay, Deputy
Sheriff Fish was sent to take Boyd
into custody.
just what disposition will be made
Of the Boyd case is not known at
the present time.

other fish, in that they cannot be
sold, neither can they be shipped tc
any point.
There are many splendid bass
lakes in northern Minnesota, and
especially in the immediate vicinity
of Bemidji. Two of the best bass
lakes among the many bodies of
water noted for fish hereabouts are
Big and Little Bass lakes, which are
located six miles northeast of the
CITY,. Big Bass lake is alongside
the M. & I. railway and one mile
east of the north end of Lake
Bemidji. Little Bass lake is short
distance of Big Bass lake.
These two lakes are inhabited by
the finest big mouth bass to be found
in the north half of the state, and
in past years, many fine catches
have been taken from these two
lakes.

being the hardest-hitting ball player
in the southern part of the state. It
is related of "Colonep' Allen that,
one Fourth of July, when the bases
were full, he smote the first ball
pitched "A fearful swat. The ball
went like a shot from gun, direct to
the center field fence. The spheroid
hit one of the posts, rebouneded to
the bleachers and tore down a Sec
ton of the grandstand, three people
mourning fractured limbs as a result
of the falling timber.
That ball was never recovered;
but the "Growler" tore around the
bags for "hime leif," and the game
was won for Jackson. <' r..
Hence are we perfectly safe. We
are holding out inducements to the
"Growler" to play first base and
bring along that 7-foot club which
he still has among his war relics.
