After leaving Cleveland the force of the wind spent itself to Q large extent and no serious damage was done east of Ashtabula.
 While the weather bureau recor led velocity of sixty-six miles an hour for the wind. the instruments were not in the path of the miniature tornado. 1t is estimated that the wind blew at a rate of at least seventy-five miles an hour in the path of the storm.

NIaaaacre Goea On.

the latest intelligence received here. is distinctly threMkening. Tho wave of fanaticism which originated aA Adana some ten days ago. and found its expression Tn the killing of Chris tians. apparently Is spreading through the Eastern provinces. Upward Of 10000 Armenians were. massacred in Syrian towns and villages. principally in the vtIayet of Adana, during out bursts Of fanatical zeal. that took place at the time of the spring festi- val in honor of Mbhammedans. upon tine receipt of news of the overturn of the 'fheretical" government at Con- stantinople. One embassy places the estimate of killed as high as 15,000.
 The Government has sent urgent com mands to the Vali of Adana that the u1obs be put down and. the leaders harshly dealt with. The attacks on the Armenians appear to have been. in. stigated. solely by the reaotionartes. A dispatch received. from1 Mersina. dated yesterday says the Armenian town of Hadjina. in the 6horthern part of the Adana viiayet is beleaEued by Moslem trtbesmen, who arc only await ing sufloisnt numerical strength to 7 rush the lmprovised defsnses erected by the ArmeniRns. The ArTnentans, however. are well armed and will put up e vigorous defense. Up to the pres snt time. two persons have been killed at Hadjim.

midi Pioneer and the Pioneer Print
cry, returned this morning from
very successful business trip to Ten.
strike, Blackjack, Funkley and
Kelliher, where he was getting bust
ne1aafor this company.
Sir. Ellis was successful in collect.
ing nice bunch of money due tn
Pioneer and was also given some fat
orders to be filled from the Pioneer
Printery's large stock Of stationery
and supplies, as we'll as CALENDARS,
the latter being a speciality of the
Pioneer.
Judging from the warmth of the
reception rendered Mr.. Ellis, the
Pioneer has a lot of real friends up
north, and the management extends
thanks for the courtesies extended
our representative.

Hotels Endion and Tedford.
Kirchhof moved his liquor to
Farris, four miles west of Cass Lake,
in Hubbard. county, but later brought
it back to Cass Lake and stored it
in the basement of the Endion hotel.
Yesterday, Special Officer Larson
visited Cass Lake and told both
Kirchhof and Samuel Sutor (the
latter owner of the Endion) to re-
move the liquor or destroy it. No
attention was paid, apparently, to
the order of Mr.. Larson, with the
result that the special officer and
his associates arrived in the city on
the 1 O'Clock train today and went
to the Endion Hotel, where they de-
manded the key to the basement,
and after gaining admittance seized
the liquor and destroyed it.
1t is claimed by some parties that
there was an agreement between
Sutor and Kirchhof concerning the
liquor, but this is denied by Sutor.

Especial to Pioneer. Early this

Gated several barrels of whisky and

said to be valued at fully $4,000.
The liquor was the property of

Today's Game Important.

Today's Game Important.
Many Bemidjites today exhibited
great interest in the Wisconsin-Min-
nesota football game which was held
at Randall Field, Madison, this
afternoon, and the Pioneer was be-
sieged all afternoon with telephone
messages requesting news of the
game, there being several graduates
of both Minnesota and Wisconsin
Universities who live in Bemidji.
Speculation was rife as to just
who would play at the quarterback
position for Minnesota, several be-
ing convinced that DR.. Williams
would spring a surprise on Wisconsin
and play McGovern; but that was
hardly likely as those who know of
the injury the doughty Gopher
captain received in the game
against Chicago were certain that
he was not able to play this after
noon.
Wisconsin has always played more
desperately against Minnesota than
any of her other opponents, and to
beat the Gophers has always been
the one thing desired at the Wis
consin u. The Wisconsin players
have been drilled early and late dur
ing the past two weeks. andl espite
bear" stories sent out from Madi-
son, the Badgers were in excellent
condition.
The Minnesota players have real
lied what they were up against in
Wisconsin,, and they have been
played increasingly at practice that
ran every evening until after dark.
The loss of Johnston and Nc
Govern has weakened Minnesota
very much, but the Gophers pos
sessed the fighting spirit and went
to Madison determined to win the
western championship. y
Miserable weather conditions had
made the grounds at Randall field
quite heavy, which it was believed
would materially help the chances of
the heavy Minnesota team.

OLE HALVORSON Bake
NOT YET APPREHENDED
Officers Unable to Find Any Clue to
Whereabouts Of WouId-be
Murderer.

Ole Halvorson Bake, whose
fiendish attempts to assassinate his
wife and kill all of her family
have created terror among his i'm.
mediate relatives, is still fugitive
from justice, and it is believed he
has made good his escape from this
section of the country.
Sheriff Hazen and Deputy Sheriff
Johnson have conducted thorough
search in an attempt to locate Bake,
but dispite their best efforts no
trace of the man with the gun can
be found anywhere in Beltrami
county. H.. ..... ...~~=< -
Bake was seen at Lavinia, on
the northeast shore of Lake Bemid il
last week just after he had made
a fendish attempt to kill the parents
of Mrs. Bake by shooting through
their home and later attempting to
burn the building.
Many false clues have been fol-
lowed in an attempt to capture
Bake, but in every instance no real
trace of the man could be found,
and it is believed that he has
wandered through the woods until
he has gotten we'll out of Beltrami
county. r.:
The only person who is certain
that Bake was the man who shot
Mrs. Bake and afterwards attempted
to kill the parents of Mrs. Bake,
is Martin Reisland, father of Mrs.
Bake.
Mr.. Reisland saw Bake very
distinctly the night he was shooting
up the Reisland home and was
setting fire to the building. -.
Mr.. Reisland shot: at Bake sew
eral times, but: apparently none Of
the shots took effect.
Bake has borne the reputation
of being a dissolute character for
some time past. He served thirty
days in the Beltrami county Jail
last summer on account of whipping
his wife, and the latter part of July
left here for Hatton, N. D. He has
not been seen since that time by
anyone except Mr.. Reisland.
