The big Bemidg" team played
this game with two substitute
guards, regular guard playing
center, and another guard playing
forward. The High School had
its best players on the floor, and
they went into the game with a
dash that looked like winning for

second half the Big" team took a
brace and made IL scores, holding
the school boys to 3 points and

NARROW ESCAPE
FOR W0RKMEN
Hundred Lives lmperilled by
Ice Gorge.
FALSE WORK SWEPT AWAY

Temporary Structure Used In Erecting
Big Bridge Across the Mississippi at
St. Louis Is Destroyed, Causing a
Loss of 100000 in Material and La
Dor, but Timely Warning Saves
Scores of Men Employed on the
Structure.
st. Louis, Jan. 3.-Work on the big
traction bridge across the Mississippi
will be suspended, it is announced, un-
til the ice has gone out of the river.
The decision follows an accident in
which more than 100 workmen had a
narrow escape from death and $780,
900 worth of material and labor was
thrown into the river. .... ..--.. =.
The heavy tlmbers of the false work
between piers 2 and 3, put up
as scaffold from which the perma-
nent structure was to be reared, was
crushed by the breaking of the ice
gorge.
Seventy men were at work in the
false work itself and more than thirty
others we're working over it.
The heavy timbers were snapped off
like matches by the weight of thou
sands of tons of ice and the false work
tottered and fell into the water and
was swept away down the river.
The false span was 400 feet in
length and on temporary track over
head was travelling crane, a derrick
and number of hosting engines. The
engineers watched the river and
whistled a warning to the men, who
clambered hastily out from among the
timbers, some reaching the steel span
connecting with the shore, some run
ming across the ice to safety and some
being taken on tug which fought for
long time the crushing weight of ice
before safety was assured. .[

ELIAS STEVENSON SUED
BY RURAL DEL|vERYMAA
Crookston Postmaster, Brother OF Con
gresham, Defendant in Claim
For $4,000 Damages.

The Crookston Times tells of a
suit which has been brought against
Elias STEVENSON, postmaster at
Crookston, and a brother of Hon.
Halvor Stevenson, congressman
from this district. AS many people
in this section have a, personal &C
quaintance with Elias Stevenson,
they will be interested in an account
of the suit, which the Times gives
as follows:
considerable of a sensation has
been caused here by the serving of
the complaint in a $4,000 damage
suit in which Postmaster Elias
STEVENSON is the defendant aud
Sever Peterson, rural mail carrier
out of Crookston, is the plaintiff.
Peterson, rural carrier No. 2 out
of Crookston and one of. the oldest
carriers in point of service having a
route out of Crookston, received the
appointment in 1904.
"December II last was removed
as the result of charges preferred
against him to the 4th assistant
postmaster general at Washing
ton, in which INSTRUMENTATION was
alleged by Postmaster Stevenson,
together with carelessness, getting
letters wet, impudence, and a
number of other alleged grave
offences.
Peterson in his complaint
alleges that these charges are all
false and that the filing of them by
Postmaster STEVENSON was malic-
ous,. and that he endeavored to
humiliate the plaintiff on sundry
and numerous occasions. III: s:
He claims that as result of the
charges filed with the 4th assistant
postmaster general, as the result of
which he lost his position, he has
been damaged in the sum of $4,000.
+ He has retained w. E. Rowe,
former county attorney, as counsel,
and the case will be bitterly fought
one from the start. -
1t is the first case of the kind
ever started in the state and the out.
come will be watched with great
interest. Postmaster STEVENSON is
a brother of Congressman Halvo1
Stevenson, who is chairman of the
committee on postofices and post
roads, and without questson there
will be merry jangle before the
case is settled.
Peterson claims that Postmaster
Stevenson has:practically demanded
servile obeisance from him since he
was named as postmaster and some
of the other charges will create a
sensation when the case comes up fol-
trial at the June term of the district
court in this city. Thus far, Post.
master Stevenson has made no state.

Fire at Tea Store.

Fire in the store of the Bemidji
Tea Store caused a damage esti-
mated at about $1,000 and but for
the prompt action of the members of
the local fire department would
PROBABLY have gained much more
Roadway and destroyed the building,
as we'll as consuming the entire
stock of teas, coffees, etc. .
The fire was discovered at about
1880 o'clock, and had gained some
Roadway when the fremen arrived,
but they soon had streams of water
playing on the fire, as we'll as
chemicals applied to the flames,
and controlled the flames, although
much expensive stock was ruined.
The company uses box stove,
and to- prevent perishable stock
from freezing, boxes containing this
class of goods were piled near the
stove, in which there was kept fire.
It is believed that the boxes must
have come in contact with the
stove, catching fire and causing the
blaze.
The value of the stock was placed
at $500, and is insured $3.50.
Moral: Insure with the T. j.

SCHOOLHOUsE
WARMING LUAU

A nice luau was given at Kalihi
Camp hall, Palama-kai, on Saturday
afternoon to celebrate the equipment
of the hall for a new school to be open
ed there at the beginning of of the en-
suing term. There was a large at
tendance of parents and children of
the new school district, and the guests
included Mayor Fern, Supervisors Nc
Clellan, AHA and Logan, City and
County Engineer Gere, Road Super
visor Wilson, Lorrin Andrews, Joel C.
Cohen and Eugene Buffandeau Cap
tain Berger was in attendance with
the Hawaiian band fresh from the polo
game, bringing first news of the twelve
to three defeat of the Cavalry by the
Maui team.
Outside and inside OF the building
flags and pennants were strung, an
other line of bunting surmounting the
neat picket fence that is part of the
schoolhouse equipment made under
Mr. Ceres direction.
Captain ]. W. Holoua presided and
said grace over the delicious repast
of Hawaiian cookery. After the
guests had retired to the front yard,
in an interval between band selections,
the chairman called on Supervisor Lo-
gan, chairman of the ways and means
committee having to do with schools,
for an address. He responded with an.
account of the committees action in
having the building equipped, which
had been taken the day after the pub
lie meeting held by the local improve
ment club when the request was made.
Although it was not much of school
house, it was the best the board could
do with the available funds, and the
| speaker congratulated the people on
the prospect of having a school opened
| for their children close to their homes.
No doubt when the legislature provid-
| ed money for the erection of school
houses they would have a handsome
permanent building.
Supervisor McClellon spoke of the
good record the present board of SUI
pervisors had made, both in the mat
ters originally incumbent on them and
in the new responsibilities given to
them by last legislature. He made a
reference to the good coral road built
in front of the new school
Mayor Fern, Supervisor AHA and
Secretary Mahelona of the Kalihi and
Palama-kai improvement Club made
speeches in Hawaiian which were
warmly applauded.
