Is a Popular Sheriff.

Daniel Petrie of Park Rapids,
sheriff of Hubbard county, spent last
night in the city. He left this morn
ing for Laporte on official business.
Mr.. Petrie is a democratic can
didate for sheriff of Hubbard county
and there appears to be little doubt
of his selection at the general cleo
ton as sheriff. MIR. Petrie has
served as sheriff of Hubbard county
for four terms or more and is con-
sidered one of the most efficient
sheriffs in the entire state.
Dan" is a good officer, a good
fellow and a citizen of which any
county may be proud. He has
many friends in Bemidji who hope
he will receive an overwhelming
majority at the polls this fall.

WANTS TO ORGANIZE 4
HORSE RAGING CIRCUIT
Secretary Sank Center Fair Asso-
citation Writes Urging Bemidii
to Enter.

The secretary of the Beltrami
County Fair Association has received
a letter from William F. Keller,
secretary of the Sank Center Fair
Association, suggesting the forma.
ton of a racing circuit for northern
Minnesota, to include Bemidii and
other towns.
The proposition is being favor
ably considered by local horsemen
and it is probable that the circuit
will be organized.
The letter from Sank Center is as
follows:
Sank Center, July 20.
Secretary of Fair Association, Be.
midi, MINI.
Dear Sir:-The race track people
of Morris and Glenwood and we at
Sank Center would like to form a
circuit for the fall races, and I have
been requested to write you and see
if you would not join with US, so we
may all have good bunch of horses
at the different - meets. We also
intend asking Park Rapids to join.
I'VE understand that you folks
would like to get in line on this and
if we can get five towns there will
be some interesting races.
Morris is to have their meet the
first week after the fair, Glenwood
the second week after the fair, and
we will have ours the next week
(30th, 1st and 2nd.) 1t is the in
tention to try to follow this every
year.
Different members of our fair
association have talked with men,
bers at Morris and Glenwood, and
all seem in favor of not putting up
too heavy purses to start with, and
the general impression seems to be
that $3.50 for the free-for-all would
be enough. In this way we can all
get good races without putting up
too big purse and by having the
circuit we can get a string of horses
that no one town acting alone could
get.
We want to get started on this
at the earliest possible moment and
wish you would be kind enough to
take the matter up and push it and
let US hear from you at an early date.
We are,
Yours truly,
William F. Keller,
Secretary S. c.. F. Assn"

PRINCE HAL MADE fine
SHOWING At WINNIPEG
Finished Third in Free -fOr-all,
but Was Really the Second
Best Horse.

Prince Hal, the speedy PAGER
owned by Begsley & Gunsalus of
this city, made splendid showing
in the free-for-all pacing race at the
Winnipeg fair, last Saturday after
noon.
Prince" was pitted against Lady
Maud c., record, 2:04H; Aargot
Boy, record, 2:03H; Robert Lee,
record, 2:O5A.
The Winnipeg track was heavy
from the rain of the two days
previous, and the going" was any
thing but good. Prince Hal, how
ever, showed that he possessed the
right staying qualities and is a
thorough race horse.
The first heat of the race went to
Aargot Boy, who tore around the
track at terrific clip, taking Lady
Maud off her feet. Prince Hal was
a close second in this heat.
In the next two heats Lady Maud
C. won very easily, with Prince Hal
a close second. Aargot Boy finished
third in two of the heats and was a
had fourth IN tho Ia Ct haof
The race went to Lady Maud c.
and as Aargot won one heat, he was
given second money, although he
was clearly out-paced by Prince Hal
The horsemen of Winnipeg state
that Hal is coming along" in splen.

From the large crowd that was
present at the city council, last even
ing at the opening of the session, it
appeared before the evening was
over that there would be something
doing"
After the routine work had been
taken up, the complaint of Mayor J.
P. Pogue, asking for the revocation
of the liquor license of Frank
Rogers, who owns and operates a
saloon on Third street, between
Bemidji and Beltrami avenues, was
read. The complaint stated that
Mr.. Rogers was running disorderly
house in connection with his saloon.
A number of witnesses were sworn,
who testified as to their knowledge
of what was taking place in the
Rogers saloon and the rooms above.
The taking of the testimony con-
sumed about two hours time, after
which vote was taken. Those in
favor of revoking the license were
Councilmen McCuaig, Smart, E. J.
Gould, Rhea and w. A. Gould,
Councilman Washburn of the Third
ward voting no.
Anton Rood filed complaint
with the council asking the revo-
cation of the liquor license of Matt
Thome, in the building known as
the Merchants Hotel, giving as his
cause that liquor was furnished and
paid for after II o'clock p. m. This
petition was referred to Mayor
Pogue, to be brought up at the next
meeting.
The petition asking for the re-
moval of Sexton Merriman was
taken up and, after hearing the
evidence, the council, by vote, de-
Clared the office of sexton vacant.
c.. H. Miles appeared and asked
that compromise be made between
him and the city regarding the
