prior to the fire.
The fire totally destroyed the
Johnson building and rapidly spread
to the building owned by Miss
Richards, and from there the flames
caught on the Congregational church
building, reducing the entire three
buildings to ashes.
Next in danger, beyond the Con-
gregational church building, was
the Kelso Lumber company's saw
mill, which was about five blocks
away. Owing to the strong wind
which was blowing in the direction
of the sawmill, cinders and burning
shingles were flying in the direction
of the mill.

grinding out justice since the term
of court opened on June 2. This
is the first visit of Messrs. Stanton
and Samuelson in their official capa-
city as judge and court reporter
respectfully, and they are making
a very good impression with all
having business before the court
and others with whom they came
in contact.
Almost every body knows the
geniel judge, and he is spending con-
siderable time greeting old friends
and acquaintanceS.- which he is do.
ing as cordially as though he were
not a candidate. Mr.. Samuelson
was stranger, but he is fast getting
his bearings, and though he is very
busy man he is fast making friends
and acquaintance.
Mr.. Stanton has been quite busy
since becoming judge, this being his
seventh term of court since his ap.
pointment, having held court in all
the counties in the district except

BEMIDJI DEFEATED DEER
RIVER YESTERDAY; 8 TOT
Game Was One-Sided as the Deer River Players Made
Many Costly Errors.-Baumgartner and Roy Were
the Opposing Pitchers.

Cass Lake defeated Park Rapids and
Bemidji defeated Cass Lake; Cass
Lake defeated Deer River, and ap-
parantly, all that'is necessary to de-
cided the championship is game
between the local team and Park
Rapids. Without strengthening
either Park Rapids or Bemidji, Be-
midi should win, but as Baumgart-
ner pitched for Park Rapids in the
game played against Bemidji the
situation is more complicated.

The Bemidji baseball team
defeated the Deer River team yester
day by score of to 1, in a one
sided game played on the loca]
grounds.
While Bemidji outhit the visitors,
the easy victory was due principally,
to the bungling playing of the Deer
River felders, who gave miserable
support to Charles Roy, who pitched
| for Deer River.
The Deer River players made no
less than twelve errors, missing many
easy chances for outs when Bemid il
would have been retired without a
run, in several innings.
Baumgartner and Louie Roy
were the battery for Bemidji, and
they did their usual excellent work.
Baum held the visitors safe at all
times and Roy was tower of
strength behind the bat.s
Up to the eighth inning, Deer
River went out in almost 1,2-3 order,
but four men passing first base.
In the eighth inning, when Bemid il
had the game safe, Baumgartner let
up little and two singles and two
baggers netted Deer River an earned
run, the only one they got in the
game.
Charles Roy pitched a good game
for Deer River but the bum support
given him would lose any game of
ball. Charley hit the ball hard
every time he came to bat and
played good game all around. 1t
was not his fault that the game was
not much closer.
The winning of this game by Be-
midi rather complexities matters as
to the baseball supremacy of north
central Minnesota. Bemidii has
won every game played this year
with the exception of that with Park
Rapids, which was won by the latter.

The announcement that the M. &
I. Railway company would run the
regular weekend" train from St.
Paul on the morning of the Fourth
of July instead of the morning of the
Fifth has changed the plans of the
arrangements commettee il charge
of the local Fourth of July celebra-
ton, quite materially.
Application was made, several
weeks ago, to have this train run a
day early, on the Fourth of July, or
else to run special train from
Brainerd, but the committee was
finally turned down and the plan
was abandoned. Saturday, however,
G.. A. Walker announced that the
company had decided to run the
train Friday nj ght from Brainerd,
arriving here at about 3 o'clock, the
morning OF the Fourth.
A meeting of the committee was
held Saturday evening, at which it
was decided to send John Washburn
to Brainerd to arrange for getting a
crowd from that place to come to
Bemidji the night of the third of
July and assist in celebrating the
national holiday. AS the Brainerd
baseball team has already been
engaged to play game on the Fourth
no doubt, Mr.. Washburn will have
no trouble in working up quite a
crowd. He has also been empowered
to secure the Brainerd band to play
here.
The Becida band has been secured
to play here on the Fourth and I'M
doubtedly large crowd of residents
of that community will come with
the band.
The following is the program for
the Fourth.
Beginning with salute at sunrise
by firing squad from Company K,
M. N. G., the program for the
balance of the day will be as follows:

international Falls, June o.
Especial to Pioneer. The Cass
Lake and International Falls ball
teams broke even on baseball games
played here Saturday and Sunday.
The first game was won by Cass
Lake by score of 5 to 3. Lyons
and Wakenaba was the battery for
Cass Lake and Wubbens and Wilson
were in the points for international
Falls.
International Falls made three
runs, eight hits fand four errors,
while Cass Lake made five runs,
eight hits and three errors.
Lyons, who is an Indian, pitched
an elegant game for Cass Lake.
Sundays game went ten innings
and was won by International Falls
! by a score of 4 to 8. Earl Cum
mings of Duluth pitched for Inter-
national Falls and Grady was on the
mound for Cass Lake.
The game was very close one all
the way through. n
Cass Lake got three runs, two hits
and seven errors; International Falls
had four runs, hit and four errors.
Grady, Cass Lakes big pitcher,
had all the best of it in the battle
against Cummings, but rank deci-
sions of the umpire and untimely
errors, gave the locals the victory

ers, styling themselves "Bemidji

Lloyd Carlton was catcher with

the Bemidji boys would have played
much better ball had not the mos
quitoes bothered Lloyd so much.
Joe Pickles acted as manager of
of the Bemidii team and he says he
never was used better in his life
the Big Falls boys simply would not
let him pay for anything. Jack"
