making a splendid basket for Be-
midi just before the whistle sounded.
The second half started with
rush on the part of the home team
but, although the visitors showed
pretty team work at times, Cell and
Peterson played in superb fashion
and the locals proved too much
for the Rapids" the game ending
with a final score of 80 to FL in
favor of big Bemidg."
For the visitors, Doran was the
star player, throwing baskets at al
most every chance, making S field
goals; Meyers made 1 field; Dick
secured 1 field and foul baskets.
Grand Rapids made 8 fouls, 2 in
the first half and E in the second.
Among the local boys, Cell played
beautiful game at forward and made
7 field goals, Brown got 2 baskets
and Peterson threw splendid 25-
foot basket. Big Bemidg" COM
mitted 6 fouls in the first half and S
IN the second part of the game.
The entire game was lacking in
the rough characteristics which
might have been expected from the
gentle hint expressed in the letter
from the manager of the Rapids"
five. The members of both teams
played clean sport and the game,
as far as disputes are concerned,
was one of the most quiet ever
played=in this>city.

state.
1t is evident that Cass Lake peo-
pie are "sparring" for more time,
and are rather loath to fight the
proposition out on the house floor
without gaining some additional
unfair advantage.
There is little doubt that if this
attitude of the Cass Lake people
and their supporters is maintained,
no school will be given to northern
Minnesota, and if that is the result,
Cass Lake is to blame.
That some powerful influences
have been arrayed against the gen
eral bill'' is very evident today.
The assertion is made that the
attitude of some of the representa-
tives from the north districts rela-
tive to certain legislation has had its
effect, and one strong element has
been made to believe that the sup
port of the Cass Lake proposition
is the only salvation for that inter-
est.
An attempt is being made to have
the senate committee give a hear
ing of arguments in favor of the
general bill," and it is believed that
this hearing will be granted, in
which case strong argument will
be presented as to the fairness of
Kinds measure.

ANOTHER ADJOURNMENT
TAKEN IN CONTEST CASE.
RiddeIl Completes His Direct Evidence
In the Contest Case Against
Sheriff Riley.

Grand Rapids, Jan. %. Especial
toPioneer.) Fourth week ofRiddell.
Riley election contest case closed
today. The contestant finished his
direct case on Tuesday last at
which time a motion to dismiss was
argued. Judge Cant denied the
motion and during the last two
days the contestee has been present.
ing evidence with reference to the
votes in the precincts of Keewatin
and Ball Club.
This noon the contestee announced
that it would be impossible to pro-
coed with the case until certain
additional evidence could be Sc
cured and Judge Cant the1eupon
adjourned the court until two
o'clock Monday at which time he
will return from his home in Du-
luth to complete the trial.
The contestant bases his right to
the office upon the failure to properly
conduct the election in four precincts.
The court has announced that he is
inclined to hold that the returns
from the precints of Sand Lake,
Crooked Lake and Keewatin must
be entirely rejected, and that each
of the candidates must prove up the
votes claimed by him. In these
three precincts Riley's majority was
216. It is conceded that it will be
difficult if not impossible for the
contestee to prove up this majority
as a considerable number Of the votes
were cast by persons who were not
qualified electors.
The evidence on the part of the
contestant>tended to show that IN
the precinct Of Keewatin alone
there were more than 20 votes cast
for the contestee by those who were
not citizens or who were transients.
In this precinct it was also de-
veloped that one of the judges of
election had worked all day in the
interests of the contestee marking
ballots and electioneering and that
he had told men, who claimed that
they did not have their second
papers, that no second papers were
needed to vote in that precinct.
The contest involves the right to
the office of sheriff and it is desired
by all interested parties that the
case shall be determined as soon as
possible IN view of the approaching
term of court.
County Attorney Price who ap.
pears, with George H. Spear, as
attorney for the contestant has an.
nounced that it is his present
inetntion to ask the next grand jury
to examine carefully into the several
alleged fraudulent acts of election
officials in precincts which have
been involved in the contest.
The preliminary hearing in the
Johnson murder case has been con.
tinued until Monday of next week
as the attorneys who are engaged in
that matter are also attorneys in the
election contest. Johnson was killed
in Deer River on Christmas evening
as result of saloon row. The de.
Tense claims that he met his death
from natural causes and that the
alteration in which he is claimed to
have had part, did not contribute to
his end.
