The party started from this city
late in the forenoon, and the trip to
Buena Vista was made in one hour
and twenty minutes. The last two
miles of the trip was made over a
very rough road, making it necessary
for Mr.. Andrews to- slow down."
otherwise the trip would have easily
been made inside an hour.
Dinner was had with Colonel and
Mrs. Speelman, at the Hotel Summit,
after which the party returned to
Bemidji, making excellent time for
the entire trip.
The'trip was a very pleasant one,
and there was nothing to mar the
pleasure. The auto worked nicely,
and is just the thing for road work
in this vicinity.

THE T. J. MILLER PARTY
GOT A SPLENDID MOOSE
State Senator Works and S. B. Bailey
Were With IT. l."-Moose Had

One of the most successful hunt
ing parties which has been in the
north woods this year was headed by
7. ]. Miller, Of this city, who with
State Senator S. D. Works of Man.
kato and S. B. Bailey of St. Paul,
hunted from the head waters of the
Little Tamarack river, seventeen
miles northeast of Kelliher. They
had as brother hunter, Rev. Denis
ton also of this city.
The party was out one week and
while they were not successful in
getting any deer they brought home
with them one of the finest moose
ever killed in these northern woods.
The moose was shot by T. ]. Mil
Ter, one of the most experienced
hunters in the state of Minnesota.
The animal weighed about $50
pounds before being dressed, and
the head possessed magnificent set
of antlers, which were 54A inches
spread of the horns, with 14-inch
webbs on eace side. The head of
this monster moose will be mounted

the Free Public Library at Mankato,
where it will be on exhibition. The
hide will be tanned for a table scarf
for T. J. Miller.
Senator Works passed on through
to St. Paul and from there will return
to his home at Mankato. He will
not soon forget the successful hunt
in 1908.

Pap" Murphy "Some Hunter"

Joseph Murphy, the sage of Mar
quette lake, was in the city this
morning from his farm home south
of the city. He states that he,
together with his sons, James, Lewis
and John, have been quite SUCCESS
full in their hunting for big game.
A deer which they killed was one
of the largest which has been seen
in this country, the antlers being
especially fine.
Pap" Murphy and his sons are
among the best hunters in northern
Minnesota, and when they once get
their eyes on a deer it is as good as
theirs.

BEMID.u HIGH DEFEATED
GRAND RAPIDS HIGH, 1875
Coach Thorntons Warriors Showed Great Reversal in
Form and 0utplayed Grand Rapids Aspirants for
Championship Of North Central Minnesota. !:

MCAlpine, brought the ball in strik-
ing distance of Bemidji's goal, and
the visitors at once began a series OF
cross-buck line plunges that Bemidji
could not step, Teal, the fullback,
going over for final three-yard
squirm that gave a touchdown for
Grand Rapids, Teul following his
touchdown with a goal.
Grand Rapids 6. Bemidji 0.
|. When the teams lined up for the
second time, the Bemidji players had
gotten over their freight, and began
series of formations and forward
passes that bewildered their oppon-
ents.
Little Huffman, quarterback for
Bemidji, ran the team with rare
judgment, and the boys backed up
every play in fine style. Although
the Grand Rapids players out
weighed the locals, every man being
much heavier than his local oppon-
ent, Bem1dji chung to them and often
a Bemidji player broke through and
stopped the play, on several occas-
ions throwing the visitor for clean
loss of from two to five yards. Not
player on the local team "loafed"
and all of the plays were fast and
strong.
Kreatz, Gill, Stanton and Kruse
were right after every play that
Grand Rapids attempted, and the
big fellows began firing early.
Huffman encouraged his boys and
they played in whirlwind fashion, the
boys in the line holding like vete-
rams. One or two costly fumbles did
not discourage Huffman's mates;
they only played the harder.
After a series of attempts to gain
through the line, Grand Rapids was
forced to kick, Huffman getting the
ball and making a fine return of
twenty yards. Gill responded with
fine hve-yard line plunge.
A forward pass netted ten yards,
and then the crowd was electrified
by one of the finest trick plays
ever seen here.
Huffman got the ball from the
pass, and after drawing the players
into a bunch to down him, passed
the ball to Kreatz, who stood near
by, Kreatz hurting the pig-skin ten
yards into the waiting hands of
Dana Gould, who jumped for the
line and barely got the ball over for
a touchdown as he was fercely
tackled.
The play was cheered to the echo,
and when Stanton booted the ball
squarely between the goal posts and
tied the score, there was nearly a
riot.
The game remained tied to the
end of the half.

The Bemidji high school football
team became a prominent factor in
the high school football champion
ship of north central Minnesota,
Saturday, when the husky boys who
represent Bemidii schools on the
grldiron won from Grand Rapids
high school eleven, which has de-
feated every team of note in the
north half of the state, with few ex-
ceptiors, and had every right to
contend for the cham pionship honor
The game Saturday was fine ex-
hibition of the new style of foo, ball.
the Remidji eleven greatly excelling
their opponents in trick formations
and open plays, being especially pro-
ficient on handling the forward pass
The locals used different varities of
the pass, and in spite of being pen
allied severely several times for un-
completed passes, the plays were for
the most part brilliantly executed
Prior to calling the game, it was
announced that R. Meyers, the
Grand Rapids fullback, had been
barred from the ga me; and as Lycan,
fullback for Bemidji, was out of the
game, the loss to each team was
about equal.
The lineup for the game was as
follows:
Grand Rapids-W. Reusswig c,
McClennan rg, A. Teul TT, Blood re,
Sissler ]g, King 1t, McAlpine lie,
Powers alb, Loffberg rh, Fraser III,
E. Teul fb; subs Grove, H. Keuss-
wig and Logan.
Bemidji-C. Breneman C, Hon.
drom re-, C. Gould TT, Kruse re, Nc
Donald lg, Boyer 1t, D. Gould lie,
Huffman qb, Gill rh, Stanton III,
Kreatz fb; Neuman, Naylor and
Engels subs.
DR.. Orr of this city and R. Meyers,
fullback for Grand Rapids, and who
was not playing, alternated respec-
lively as referee and umpire; Prof.
Richie, superintendent of the Be-
midi schools, and James Doran of
Grand Rapids, coach for Grand
Rapids, acted as timekeepers, Ollie
Nelson wars head linesman and had
as assistants James Harris for
Bemldji and Hugh Logan for Grand
Rapids.
Grand Rapids kicked off, and the
Bemidji players at once began return
ing the ball. Boyer made ten yards,
Huffman repeated for ten more, and
a forward pass, Huffman to Stanton,
added ten more yards. A second
forward pass was uncompleted, and
Bemidji was penalized fifteen yards.
An on-side kick was fumbled and
Grand Rapids got the ball.
The Rapids players got the ball
going and a forward pass, which
netted twenty-yard run for
