FIRST BASEBALL GAMES,
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY
Brainerd High Team Defeated Bemid HIGH, Saturday,
l2.lo.-Bemidj Took Nymore Into Camp, Sunday,
by Score Of Fl tol.

The Bemidji and Brainerd high
school baseball teams played a game
here Saturday afternoon, Brainerd
winning by the score of IL to 10.
The game was a see-saw affair,
Bemidji apparently cinching the
contest in the fifth inning, when
they scored six runs, but Brainerd
also scored six in the seventh
inning, gaining lead and holding 1t
to the end of the game.
Alderman and Parker were the
battery for the visitors and Gill and
Hilliard were in the points for Be-
midi.
There was good, bad and indiff-
erent playing and some of the plays
| were real exhibitions of stage
fright" On the whole, however,
considering the practice Bemidji has
had, the playing was fair.
Bemidji was at disadvantage in.
having for the most part green
players, while Brainerd had in its
battery old heads, who have been
playing ball at Brainerd for several
years, Alderman being considered
the best pitcher in Brainerd.
| The weather was cold, which kept
the attendance down, but had no
effect on the vocal chords of the
girls of the high school, who were
out in force and who gave every en-
couragement to the local warriors on
the diamond.
Gill complained of a sore arm,
prior to the game, which undoubtedly
finterfered with his work. So -.

duck, testified that he had seen the
Johnsons outside and around the
house on the Sunday before Oscar
died. He had at first noticed the
quarantine card Monday evening,
just before supper time.
Cross examined by counsel for
1.-The defendant, he stated that he
had been in the hotel business one
year, had run saloon at first but
later had his license revoked.
Redirect questioning by Senator
Peterson, he had window on the
side of his hotel next to Johnson's
house. He had been sitting in the
dining room most of the day and
could have seen the quarantine
card if it had been on the door.
Mr.. Mcdonald secured the adj
mission that if theo door were open
wide and back against the house
that the witness could not have
seen the sign; also that he might
not have seen the card, although he
thought he would have observed it.
Ruth Johnson was recalled by
Senator Peterson. She corroberated
Miss Olga's story as to the visit to
the hospital, also adding that the
conversation had been opened by
Olga's saying to DR.. Koch, Don't
be afraid, Alfred isn't going to hurt
you" and DR.. Koch had replied, I
know he WON'T"
Under cross-examination the wit
ness admitted that she had not been
surprised when Olga made the above
statement, to DR.. Koch; that she
knew the statement referred to a
previous statement made by her
brother, Alfred. She denied that
Olga and she had gone to DR.. Koch
to secure informat ito n for her brother.
Miss Olga was recalled to the
stand in cross-examination; she did
not remember whether or not she
had made the statement to DR..
Koch referred to above.
c. w. Johnson, father of the late
Oscar Johnson, next testified as to
the good character and industrious
habits of his son. No cross-examina-
ton.

DEFENSE in DIR. KOCH CASE
WAS BEGUN THIS MORNING
E. E. Mcdonald Attorney for Dr. Koch, Outlines His Case
DR. Howard Lancaster of St. Paul Called to Testify
in Behalf Of the Defendant.

When court convened Saturday
afternoon Albert Johnson, brother
of the deceased Oscar johnson, was
recalled to the witness stand for
redirect examination by the plain
tiff in the DR.. Koch damage case.
Mr.. Johnson testified that Oscar
had sometimes worked for the negro
who operated the pool room in
Blackjack, answering letters and
carrying on the business correspond
ence, or acting as kind of private
secretary" as Mr.. Johnson explained.
He declared that the pool room was
frequented by many respectable
people and did not have a bad
reputation.
When cross examined by Mr..
Mcdonald the witness acknowledged
that the pool room was ordered
closed by the mayor, at the instiga-
ton of the school board, after the
death of Oscar on account of the
reputation it had born prior to that
event.
Miss Olga Johnson, sister of the
deceased, was called as witness for
the plaintiff.
Miss Olga had been attending the
state university at the time of her
brothers illness and arrived in
Blackjack on the evening of the
day on which Oscar had died. DR..
Koch had said that she could not

anti-toxin but that he did not have
any handy and waited until the next
morning, when he gave her anti
toxin at the home of a friend, Isa-
belle Bowling.
Sometime in April, the witness
testified, she and her sister, Ruth,
had gone to the hospital and Miss
Olga had asked DR.. Koch why he

Bemidii Il, Mymcre !.

Yesterday afternoon, a numb Der of
local players took on" the Nymore
team, as sort of 'limbering-up,"
for the first appearance on the
diamond this season, and the result
shows that Bemidji has some
players this season who will be
right in the hunt" from the ring
ing of the bell.
Nymore was humiliated-the
score being FL to 1, in favor of the
Bemidii players, and then the locals
were not exerting themselves, to any
great extent.
Fckel, catcher for the Company K
team, was behind the bat for Be-
midi and caught a good game.
Baumgardner, Mitchell, Stafford
formerly with Deer River and
Grand Rapids) and Hazen each
did twirling, and all did we'll.
Among the other players who were
out were Riddell, Gillette. Barker
and others, all of whom are showing
much ginger, considering that they
have had but little practice.
While matters are not altogether
settled, definitely, it is pretty certain
that Bemidji will have a fast team,
and that battery will be engaged
before the end of the present month.

administrative of the estate of Oscar
Johnson, deceased.
MI. Mcdonald stated that the
defense would offer no objection to
entering the letters in the evidence
providing the other papers relating
to the granting of the letters were
placed with it.
Judge Clark swore that the letters
were still in effect.
Questioned by counsel for the
defense, he acknowledged that the
other papers as being the ones kept

MI. Mcdonald offered the aPplii.
cation for letters of administration,
the citation on hearing and the
order on hearing as part of the evil
dence and the court ordered that
copies of all the papers, in regard to
the appointment of the administra-
trix, be allowed in evidence.
Senator Peterson then stated that
he rested the plaintiffs side of the
case, and was granted the privilege
of re-opening the case if he had left
out any slight matter of form. Mr..

to wait until Monday morning to
begin the opening of the defense.

of the father and mother of deceased
Oscar johnson. Mr.. Mcdonald
objected, on the ground that they
were incompetent, irrelevant and
immaterial and allowed that the
production of the tables and the
ruling on their entrance might be
made later on during the trial.
Mrs. Johnson was called by the
plaintiff and testified that she was
the mother of Oscar Johnson and
the plaintiff in this case; and also
that Oscar was unmarried.
DR.. Koch was recalled and cross
examined. He acknowledged that

had not administered anti-toxin to
Oscar earlier in the disease.
Miss Olga-"Dr. Koch said,
Come to my office. I have just
one minute to talk to you and then I
will be through with YOU We
went into his office and he said,
You people have been doing an
awful lot of talking about me and I
| have acted like a gentleman all the
way through and I'm tired of it.
Now, if you people don't shut up,
I'm going to have you arrested and
brought down here to apologize to
me on your knees"
Questioned by Senator Peterson,
the witness told that her brother,
Oscar, had been very generous. He
had worked one summer on the
section and in the fall had offered
her his check to get some new clothes
before going down to the univer-
sity. He had been industrious and
helped the family, was anxious to
get work during the summer vaca-
tons, was very studious and pre-
pared his Virgil and Higher Algebra
at home, and was quite a musician.
Miss Olga had paid the doctor
bill of $50 to DR.. Koch with money
furnished by her father. She
acknowledged plaintiffs exhibit F
as the bill.
Under Mr.. McDonald's cross ex-
animation she admitted that Albert
Johnson's talk with DR.. Koch had
been one evening in April, her talk
the next afternoon and her mother
and Delia's visit that evening. She
also stated that, just after the papers
in this case were served on DR..
Koch last summer, a girl friend had
reported to her that DR.. Koch said
he didn't care about the case as he

g. A. Bean OF New Prague Visits
Bemidji.- Over Condi-

c.. A. Bean of New Prague, who
owns -four mill and is also inter-
ested in. five other mills at different
points in Minnesota, has been a
visitor in Bemidji today and looked
over the city pretty thoroughly,
especially with reference to the
attractions of Bemidji and our lake
for summer visitors.
Mr.. Bean had been to Interna-
tional Falls and looked over the
border town with a possibility of
making some investments there, and
in returning decided to stop over in
this city.
It is more than likely that Mr..
Bean will decide to spend this sum-
mer and future summers in Bemidji,
and that he will induce five other
families to come here, also, as he
states that he is sort of emissary for
his friends, with regard to suitable
location for summer homes.
