Senator Hanson of Ada and Harry
Sinker of Mallard, spoke, as did
several others; and the meeting was
filled with interest, all through.
The majority of those who expressed
themselves on the subject was in
favor of the road as it has been laid
out.
At the conclusion Of the meet
ing, it was decided that the party
should drive over the route Of the
road northward from the park 10
Bagley. The trip was made, and
at its conclusion Mr.. O'Connor
came to Bemidji.
At the request of some Bagley
parties, Engineer Cooley made a
trip to the park, over another pro-
posed route IN order to gather full
data as to that proposition.

in Blackjack. He told of the
reading of the article in the Black
duck American, and the determin-
alton of the Johnson's to secure
compensation for Oscars death.
Mr.. Mcdonald went carefully
over the evidence given by the
witnesses for the defense and then
took up that secured from the
plaintiffs witnesses.
Continuing, Mr.. Mcdonald went
through the evidence given by DR..
Osborn, declaring that both Osborn
and Koch are comparative physicians
in that village. DR.. Osborn had
gone to the Johnson home in consul
tation Sunday evening. Della ex-
amined Oscars throat Saturday
afternoon and she would have re-
cognized a bit of membrane, if any
membrane had been there. It was
not there. Sunday DR.. Koch saw
it; DR.. Osborn was called in consul
tation that evening, and Mr.. Nc
Donald thought that DR.. Osborn
had given the jury as bad a pic
ture of that throat as he possibly
could. He had examined that
throat and from that moment on the
same responsibility was his that was
Dr.. Koch's. He declared that DR..
Osborn knew it was serious and that
it required every bit of his skill and
care.
What does DR.. Osborn say?''
said Mr.. Mcdonald. He knew
the patient had been given strych-
nine and he had added digitalin and
nitroglycerine. Digitalin acts quicker
and nitroglycerine acts longer, but
strychnine given in smaller doses
has the same results. Crack in
some more antitoxln.' Does he say
he suggested 10000 units? Does he
tell you that he said 5000 were in
sufficient? No. He advised DR..
Koch to crack it to him. and to
continue the treatment already being
given.

Baumgardner Pitched Fine Game for Bemidi, Sunday;
Should Have Had Shut Outlook Eleven Innings
to Decide High School Game.

The Bemidji city baseball team
won the opening game of the season,
yesterday, afternoon from Walker, by
a score of 8 to 2, the contest being a
fair one, for so early in the season.
1t had been expected that Sum-
mers of Duluth would arrive to catch
for the locals, but the fast Zenith
City" player failed to put in an ap-
pearance. Eckel, catcher for the
Company K team, caught, and he
put up a fine game behind the bat,
besides hitting the ball hard and
running bases nicely.
Baumgardner pitched for Bemidji,
and he twirled in mid-season form.
He had lots of speed and good con-
troll, and was steady at all stages of
the contest. Baum struck out
thirteen Of the opposing batsmen
and allowed but one hit. He would
have had shutout to his credit but
for an unfortunate wild throw which

Hubbard and Clearwater counties,
and others, numbering in all forty
three persons.
There was some difference of opin-
ion as to whether the road as
originally laid out was the best and
all were heard who cared to speak on
the subject.
According to Mr.. O'Connor the
meeting was harmonious one, and
was productive of much good.
George Cooley, the state engineer,
spoke at some length concerning
state roads and gave out much valu-
able information.

Neither Clearwater or Hubbard
counties derive one cent of money
for their county treasury, from
Itasca State Park. That park is
exempt from taxation yet the
counties must furnish police pro-
lection, etc, the same as for any
other property within their borders.
1t is but just and proper that
large appropriation should be made

T. P OC0nnOr Vice Chairman State Board Highway Com
missoners Personally Inspected Bagey- Park Rapids
Road---Hed Meeting at Douglas Lodge.

The late legislature should have
appropriated close to $4,000 for
the construction of the state road
created by that body to enable the
people of the state to have more
easy ingress and egress to the
Itasca State Park, which road will
extend from Park Rapids to the park
and on through northward to Bagley.
The legislature appropriated the
very inadequate sum of $4,000,
which is to be divided equally each
side of the park, that is, from Park
Rapids to the park and from Bagley

fair, at all times, and Mr.. Cooley
obliged the few who desired him
to look over the other route and
he went back to the park that way.
The state should, IN justice to
itself, greatly increase the appropria-
ton for that road. The State Park
is one of the few possessions of the
state that is a valuable asset. It
is beautiful place, and will always
be filled with human interest that
will make it an attraction, and any
thing that can be done to make
the place more easy of access should
be advocated by every resident of

ter had reached the bag" on an in
field error. which allowed the runner
to score. Again, in the seventh in

field errors in succession, giving the
visitors their second run.
The balance of the locals played
as follows:
Riddell 1b, Mitchell 2b, Stafford
SIS, Barker 3b, Carlton and LeGore
IF, Otto CT, Collins If.
Collins and Baumgardner were
the only locals who did not get
hit, Stafford and LeGore getting
two each. and the rest single hit
each. The work in the field, for
the most part, was very fair, for an
opening game.

close one.
Edward Rogers, the veteran who
still enjoys a strenuous session
on the diamond, was with the visit

Bemidji down. Sundby, the ole
Walker catcher, went behind" TO,

In speaking Of the meeting and
the actions of the commission
Mr.. O'Connor said:
"The commission has no power
to change the proposed route, of
this Itasca State road. The
appropriation which was secured
from the legislature was made on
the representations made before
that body relative to the road as
laid out, and we have no power TO
change the route. It is up to the
boards of county commissioners.

ing, for the court to instruct the
jury to return a verdict in favor OF
the defendant.
Senator Peterson, for the plaintiff,
declared that he did not intend to
go into the details of Mr.. Melon
AIDS arguments at any great length
and contended that the complaint
had been properly made out.
The counsel for the plaintiff spoke
about an hour in which he rldiculed
the defendants contention that a
medical expert must testify, in al
most any case involving death, in re-
gard to the cause of death, ending
with a warm arraignment of DR..
Koch. The senator wished the
privilege of looking more deeply
into Mr.. McDonald's examples in
case the court had any doubt as to
the proper decision on the motion.
The court took the motion under
consideration and at o'clock this
morning rendered his decision on
taking the case away from the jury
at considerable length.

Mr.. Mcdonald made his
address to the jury, occupying the
entire morning. He declared that
the jury had two propositions to
settle. First, whether the doctors
treatment of the case was
improper, and secondly, whether
improper treatment was the cause
of Oscars death.
Mr.. Mcdonald went over the
acquaintance of the Johnson and

Bemidji has fair team, but that the
players are woefully in need of
practice. Baumgardner did finely,
in the box, and with a few excep-
tons his support was good.
In an thinning game of baseball
on the downtown local park Satur-
day afternoon, the Fosston High
School ball tossers defeated the
Bemidji highs by a score of s to E.
The visitors started out by max
ing three runs in the first inning
and added two more in the fourth
and got another in the ninth, Be-
midi being unable to score until the
last half of the ninth inning. Then
the locals found Rue, who went up
in the air, and before the visitors
put their third baseman, Terry
Aim, in the box, four scores had
been chalked up for Bemidji.
Two scores were secured off Aim
before the half was over, thus tie
ing with Fosston.
In the tenth inning Rue resumed
his position in the box for Fosston
and neither side was able to get a
run, but in the eleventh the visitors
secured two scores and the locals
were unable to duplicate, ending the
game to in favor of Fosston.
Gill pitched a good game for Be-
midi with the exception of the first
and fourth innings and received
pretty good support from the re-
mainder of the team in a manner
which showed improvement over the
game with Brainerd a week ago.
Kruse's throwing to first base was
especially pretty. The Bemidii boys
have not had the experience that
the visitors have had, this being
the first year the local school has
attempted to put out a ba seball
team.
The Fosston lads played snappy
game throughout and showed good
team work. Kronschnabel, Foss-
tons catcher, was quick in swapping
the ball to second. Lohn caught
two flies after long runs in right
field, and Basemen Aim, Stadsvold
and Whaley showed fine form. Per
sonally, the Fosston lads are one of
the finest sets of boys who ever
played in this city.
The Fosstonites made six errors
and secured five hits while the To-
calls got four hits and made only
two errors. Gill struck out seven
men and Rue six for Fosston.
The local fans, who watch the
baseball games, should not allow
! their enthusiasm to cause them to
get out on the diamond and attempt
to participate in the game as they
did during the latter part of the
game Saturday afternoon.
The two teams lined up as fol-
lows: --.. -
