The proposition to start North
Dakota Northern Minnesota base
ball league has again "bobbed up''
through an agitation which is being
made at Fargo to organize league
of that character which will include
among it's members the city of Be-
midi.
A telegram from Fargo says of
the proposition:
Fargo, N. D. Dec. 15.-North
Dakota may have a state baseball
league in 1909, or may be enlarged
to include Crookston and Bemidji,
Minnesota.
Unless there is a possibility of
the Northern league breaking into
the Twin cities, Fargo will not be
with the old organization. The
jumps to Duluth and Winnipeg are
too long. Winnipeg and Brandon
will undoubtedly align themselves
with teams in western Canada, and
Duluth with the Wisconsin State
league or the copper county.
Fargo, Wahpeton, Valley City,
Minot, Jamestown, Bismark, Devils
Lake, Grand Forks and possibly

.CASS LAKE WOMAN ATE
POISON TO CAUSE DEATH
Mrs. Mamie Carmen Was Despondent
Over Domestic Affairs. is in
Dangerous Condition.

Cass Lake. Dec. 16.-(Special to
Pioneer. )-Mrs. Mamie Carmen,
daughter of Alex. Kittson, made a
rash attempt at self destruction last
night, devouring several bi-chloride
of mercury tablets, and but for the
heroic work of two loca! physicians,
would undoubtedly have speedily
expired.
Rumor has it that Mrs. Carmen
has been very respondent of late
over domestic affairs, and that her
attempt at suicide was caused by
worry until she was deranged.
The woman came to Cass Lake
from Superior about three weeks
ago and has been stopping with her
mother.
Although she was respondent,
there was no suspicion that she
would do herself bodily harm until
last night, when she was detected
eating the poisonous tablets.
Drs. Smith and Christensen were
hastily summoned. They used
stomach pumps and worked on Mrs.
Carmen for several hours, saving
her life temporarily, but the condi-
ton of the woman is such that
it is believed that she cannot pos
sibly recover.
Mrs. Carman is the daughter of
Alexander Kittson, who met tragic
death in the waters of Cass Lake,
and who, with Joe North, was
drowned while on a fishing trip,
about a year ago.

Uniformed Rank at Brainerd.

Word comes from Brainerd that
the members of the Brainerd Knights
of Pythias lodge are contemplating
the organization of Uniform Rank
of the order and that the ,organiza-
ton will be perfected some time the
first of the year.
The Brainerd brethren are reach

CARPENTER WON FIRST
MILE RACE FROM SCHULTZ
Cookston Champion Crossed the Line Leading by Only
Three Feet.-Race Was Closest Contest Ever
Pulled Off in Bemidji.

slightly at the jump. The race was
a very even one the entire twenty
laps and it was only by the hardest
kind of work that Carpenter managed
to gain three feet on his opponent
in the last three laps, and the finish
was so close that the judges were
compelled to be very alert at the
finish. The time made for the race,
three minutes and twenty seconds,
was very fast, considering the size
of the rink, and indicates that Car
penter and Schultz are very fast
men. 1t was rather expected that
Carpenter would easily defeat
Schultz, but last nj gifts race showed
that they are very evenly matched,
and the race tonight will undoubtedly
be stubborn contest.
On account of the Elks' Charity
Ball being held tonight, the second
of the races will be skated at $50
this evening, giving all ample time
to see the race before going to the
ball.
Should Schultz win the race, and
make the series so far a draw, it has
been decided between the two
skaters that they will skate third
mile race, half an hour later this
evening. in order to decide who is
the faster man.

Harry Carpenter, champion roller
skater of Crookston, defeated Frank
Schultz, the champion of Hibbing,
in one-mile roller race at the local
skating rink, last evening, Schultz
being less than four feet to the bad''
when Carpenter crossed the tape.
The race was a contest from the
firing of the starters gun until the
last lap was skated, and both of the
skaters put forth every effort win.
Loafng'' was not on the program, as
time for the mile $500 will indi-
cate.
A. L. Wyler, ]. M. Markham and
G.. Rub acted as judges of the race,
and A. G.. Rutledge was starter.
The skaters started from opposite
sides of the rink; and when the gun
was fired, a dog belonging to Rut-
ledge became frightened and rushed
IN front of Schultz, causing him to
slow up, when he had plainly gotten
the start of Carpenter. The dog
incident, however, did not materially
affect the result of the race.
= The race was for one mile, and
the series is to be for the best two
out of three, all mile beats.
At the firing of the starters gun,
both Carpenter and Schultz
got away fast, Schultz leading
