FIRE Dept. ANSWERS
PERTINENT QUESTIONS
Bemidji Fire Lads Reply to 1. F. John
sons Query as to Use OF Fire
Engine.

The Pioneer has received the
following letter from the members
of the BemidI fire department In
answer to the questions of Alderman
L. F. johnson, recently published
in the Daily Pioneer:
Editor Bemidji Pioneer,
Bemidji, MINI.
Dear Sir:-In your issue of the Pho
neer FOR March 10th, under the
heading of Pertinent Questions" by
L. F. Johnson, you printed the fol-
lowing question, will you ask our
fremen If we have a fire engine
and a paid engineer, and if it is
not known that the engine can be
taken out and hose laid a block
from the lake or a little farther?''
We should say in reply that we
have fire engine and also a paid
engineer and that the engine can be
taken out and used in some localities
from the lake, but in the case of the
fire at James Prices home the fire
engine could not be used at all, as
the house is 800 feet from the bank
of the lake and the ice at that point
is solid to the bottom of the lake.
AS to connections with the hyd-
rants we will say that the supply Of
water at the dead end of the present
mains nearest to the Price fire was
not enough to supply the engine
under forty pounds pressure were
used the suction hose would collapse
thereby shutting off the water supply.
There are in the city only three
MIGRANTS on which the engine could
be used with the large suction hose,
viz, Miles corner, Third street and
Beltrami avenue; Bazaar store, Third
street and Minnesota; and Pogue's
barn, third street and Irwin avenue.
The hydrants are the only ones that
will furnish large enough supply of
water to work the engine properly;
these are facts from actual tests
made prior to Mr.. Johnson's becom-
ing a resident of our city.
The fire department is capable
of handling any fire if given proper
equipment and water pressure.
Chief Cell, in order to prove to
the members of the department and
to the citizens that the engine
could not be attached to some of
the bydrants and worked success
fully, ordered a test made three
years ago from the hydrant at the
hospital under pressure of forty
pounds of steam. A stream was
thrown thirty or thirty-fve feet
high through. 100 feet of hose,
directly connected to the engine.
On raising the pressure to fifty
pounds the suction hose collapsed.
The local pressure in the business
section of the city from the tank
is from forty to forty-hve pounds
TO the square inch and if water has
to be carried any distance through
the hose, the pressure is reduced
two and one-half pounds for every
100 feet of hose.
If a driveway and dock for the
engine were provided along the lake

FARMERS MAKE WAR
ON CITY SHOOTERS
Country Near Here Overrun by Army
of Men and Boys and Much
Damage. Is Reported.

With the rush Of city nimrods to the
country to take advantage of the be-
ginning of the open season for quail
comes the annual wall from the farm
ers living near the city. South of
Milan the country is being simply
overrun by an army of men and boys
more or less inexperienced in the
handling of firearms, while the same
thing is true of parts of the upper end
of the. county and the nearby portions
of. Henry county lying along the rail
roads centering here. Reports have
been received of the injuring of live
stock and the shooting of poultry,
while fences have been broken down
and gates left open. Naturally the
farmers do not propose to continue 20
stand for this and they are taking
steps for organized resistance! One
man living near Milan says he will
have a deputy sheriff on his premises
tomorrow to arrest all trespassers and
others are prepared to protect their
property. If the hunters are wise they
will form the habit of asking permits
sion before beginning to shoot.

ORDWAY TO BE TRIED
FIRST In DAVENPORT
Governor Deneen Honors Requisition
From Executive of Neighbour
ing State.

According to telegram received
yesterday afternoon by Chief of Po-
lice Atkinson at Davenport, from As
sistant County Attorney F. A. Cooper,
who has gone to Springfield to Sc
cure the necessary requisition papers
for Fl. n. Ordway's extradition, Dav-
export has secured first right to Ord
ways presence in that city, where it
is alleged he passed forged checks
and on several other banks in the
three cities. The telegram received
read as follows:
Difficulty and objections with
drawn. Papers granted giving first
rights. On to Chicago Immediately
via Chicago & Alton
From the inference to be drawn
from the above, it is to be concluded
that Davenport has secured the nee
essary requisition papers for Ord
ways detention in that city. He will
be arraigned in the district court on
the charge of forgery. AS soon as
Attorney Cooper can reach Chicago
the papers will be served on Ordway
and he will be most probably brought
to Davenport by Detective John Quinn,
who at present is in Chicago await
ing Ordway's release.
A second telegram from Spring
field further confirmed that Cover
nor Deneeh has honored the reCuisi-
ton from Iowa's governor.

escape for II. ]. Fitzpatrick and his
mechanician, p. Church, when Kilpat-
rick's Pope-Toledo car exploded and
was incinerated, furnished the real
thrillers yesterday on the Atlanta two

feet in length swept back, and the ma
chine. skidding, crashed against the
fence, hurting fitzpatrick and Church
$50 feet away, both men alighting
with minor injuries in a pile Of brush.
The asphaltum covering Of the
course was ignited by the burning
wreck and furnished fiery spectacle
for some time before it was extin-
guished. The car, valued at $4,000,
was built to enter the Vanderbilt cup
race and was the property Of Asa Can
dler, president of the Speedway CON-
pany.
Lewis Strang scored a runaway in
the two-mile free-for-all. winning cas-

WARMED OVER

Decatur is preparing to begin all
over again in baseball. Subscription
lists for the sale OF stock have been
left at number of business houses
about the city and it is proposed to
attempt to secure at least $4,000 by
this means before the next meeting
of the Three-Eye. 1t will take IS, 900
to put the city in the running for a
franchise, but it is figured the other
thousand will not be hard to secure,
once the thing is started. Shares Will
be sold at $50 each and the intention
is to interest as many men as possible
in order to get away from the one-man
plan under which the game has been
allowed to play out in the city.
Ned Egan has again been selected
as manager OF the Burlington team.
Before signing he demanded a guaran-
ty of an attendance OF 10000 and a
bonus of $500, he to assume full re-
sponsibility, financial and otherwise
for the team. He was given all he de-
manded.

ing up some promising youngsters for

BIG GAMES ARE ON
Great Day in the Football
World, Championships Be-
ing Decided.
BADGERS MEET GoPHERs
Minnesota Picked to Win Western
Honors-NLichigan and Chicago
Invade the East.

Football championship hopes of high
and low degree are likely to be Jared
before another sun sets. With the cur
act of the gridiron drama there will BE
some hustling for what remains of the
seasons moIeskin honor and glory.
1t is a day of big" games at Ill
points of the compass. In the west
the center of attention is on Madison,
where two undefeated teams-Minne-
sofa and Wisconsin-cIash for place
at the top of the heap. At Evanston
Northwestern and Illinois meet, but
there probably will be less heartburn
ings after the contest there than at
many another spot, for the. champion
ship bauble for both has already been
punctured In Iowa, Ames and the
University of Iowa will try to keep rs
near to the top of the state procession
as gameness and luck will allow.
The battle at Madison should practi-
cally decide the western champion
ship. If Minnesota wins the confer
ence title goes to the Gophers. Should
the Badgers prove the better Wiscon-
sin will only have to beat Chicago
university to annex the glory.
Big Games I'm East.
In the east the invasion of the two
western elevens divide attention with
the Princeton Yale battle at New Ha-
ven and the Harvard-DartmouJh
struggle at Cambridge. And there
will be some examinations all right
after the final kickoff, although in the
case of a number of teams this phase
has already been attended to. Chicago,
defeated by Minnesota, will meet Cor
nell, tramped on by Harvard and 9th
ers, so the contest SINNERS down to
survival of the fittest of the two teams
themselves.

a score to settle since last year, Will

Pennsylvania out of polite football So

though by teams not counted strictly
in their class, according to their own

were several involving Three-Eye

promising young Peoria pitcher, was

therefore subject to reservation.
