some fine work in the field, coming
in fast on one occasion and throw
ing runner out at third and another
time making a sensational catch O
of an apparently safe hit.
Baumgartner pitched fine ball.
He struck out seven, and allowed
two hits.
Bert Barker played a splendid
game at third base. He handled
everything nicely that came his
way, and lined out two pretty
singles at times when the hits
counted. Bert is steady, reliable
player.
Louie" Roy, behind the bat,
was the same old stonewall as of
yore. He always has his head with
him, and his coaching keeps ginger
in the locals.
The remainder of the team played
good ball, and Barker, Roy and
Collins hit out the ball for two-bag-
gers each.
Narveson the kid" twirler who
recently pitched shut-out game
against the Thief River Falls team,
allowing them but one hit, was on
the mound for Mcintosh. Bemidji
took kindly to his Blenders in the
first inning, a single and a two
Dagger, in rapid succession, giving
an earned run, and chance for a
double play was missed by the
Mcintosh infeld, which took some
of the confidence out of Narveson.
However he pitched a good game,
good enough to win in the major
ity of games, but his teammates
could not hit, and made many
errors. However, Bemidji earned
three of her runs, while both that
Mcintosh secured were obtained on
errors. Narveson struck out five,
gave two bases on balls, hit three
batters, and was touched up for
six hits, three being two-baggers.
The Bemidji team was altogether
too fast for the visitors, and the
game was never in doubt from the
first inning.

On a muddy field, with rain falling
most of the time during the contest
the Bemidji baseball team defeated
the strong Mcintosh aggregation
yesterday afternoon, by a score of
to 3-and the visitors would have
been shut out but for a bunch OF
wild heaves and muff when two
Mcintosh runners were caught be.
tween second base and the home
plate, the runners finally both scor.
ing, the two runs being unearned.
Outside this one inning, the
visiting players never had look-in
to score, and the locals held the men
from the west safe at all stages OF
the game.
It looked, most of the forenoon
and we'll on into the afternoon, as if
it would be impossible to pull off a
ball game. The rain had made the
grounds sea of mud, but when
there was cessation of the downpour,
about 3 in the afternoon a devoted
bunch of the thirty-third degree
FANS wendell their way to the ball
park and it was decided to play the
match.
Considerable interest was conferred
in the fact that Charles Roy, a
brother of Louie" Roy, was
scheduled to pitch several innings of
the game against the visitors.
Charles used to pitch for Newark, in
the Eastern lsague, and he has con-
siderable of a rep" as a HEAVIER of
bad ones where the bats don't reach
'em.
Charles pitched the, first three
innings of the game, and showed up
all to the good. This was his first
throwing this year, and he went onto
the field with only his walking shoes
on. However, he allowed but one
scratch hit, struck out four, and was
there with the goods" all the time.
Owing to the fact that he had no
practice this season, he went to
right field, and Fred Baumgartner
finished the game. Charles did

MIGHT SECURE THE NEXT
REUNION 1ST MINNESOTA
Surviving Members of Gallant Regiment that Fought So
Bravely in Civil War Should Be Induced to Meet
Here During Next Year.

It has been suggested that an
effort be made by citizens of Bemidji
to secure for this city the next
annual reunion of the old veterans
of the First Minnesota Volunteers
the heroes who taught so nobly for
their country in the great civil war.
L. G. Pendergast this city, who is
now custodian of the old state capt.
tol at St. Paul but who still regards
Bemidji as his home, has written to
L. F. Johnson of this city, suggesting
that the city council, the mayor and
others unite in extending an invita-.
ton to the veterans to meet here
next year. The survivors of that
regiment will meet at Minneapolis
on the 10th inst, and it is Mr..
Pendergast's purpose to extend the
invitation at that meeting.

MUROERSEALEO
HIS LIPS

Little progress has as yet been
made in running down the only
clew which the police have found
to the murder of J. Lynch, the Grip
pied beggar whose body was found
in the river Saturday. 1t was
wrapped in blanket and porter.
This porter offers the only clew.
Detective Lister is in charge of
the case.
The theory is that Lynch, who
was a notorious companion Of
thugs, thieves and holdup men,
made threats to inform, and for
that reason was murdered and his
body taken to the river and thrown
in.
At first it was thought death
was caused by a blow from a
bludgeon. Coroner Witter held a
postmortem and found a bullet
lodged in the brain.

WANTS CITY To
LICENSE CATS

Several citizens of late have
been advocating the licensing of
cats. Spokane is noted for the
number and many breeds of its fe-
lines and the havoc they commit
when they favor any particular 10.
cality with a Nocturnal recital. At
present dogs are licensed and in
that manner their numbers are
materially reduced.
But cats! There are thousands
of them and their numbers are UNI
restricted except on occasion, now

gun.
1t is argued that if all the cats
in town were licensed an enormous
revenue would be derived by the
city. OF course if person wished
the summary removal of a certain
cat is would be considerable of a
job to locate its owner or find out
if a license had been paid for it.
However, this does not one whit
disturb the consciences of those
who want the cats licensed.
Major Gwvdir, license inspector,
says he believes it is possible to
license the felines, but if they were
licensed it would be considerable
of a task to round up or ascertain
just which ones were unlicensed

AS has been indicated, Methuse-

ing. Little really happened to
him. From the time when he was
old enough to vote, he voted the
straight ticket regularly and con-
tinually, regardless of who was
nominated or what the platform
was. Once he was named for con-
gress and accepted, his speech be-
ing a nine-day wonder This was
when he was 700 and was consld-
cred safe, sane and secure by the
interests. He was beaten, howevr,
by a young upstart of 5SS.
He was something of star
checker player and would moon
over the board years at time
making a move on an average OIL
once week. AS his years In
creased he used to sleep longer
taking frequent maps lasting 19u
hours. He still kept cutting new
sets of teeth, however, and took
good care of them, as he didn't like
to miss any of the eats. Once he
had to have a nerve killed in a
molar. The dentist worked ex-
peditiously, but it took IL minutes
for the nerve to die. Meth. said 1t
seemed like a century. His hair, on
the other hand, got tired growing,
so that he was entirely bald when
his great-grandsons, Shem, Ham
