BAND BOOSTER BUTTONS;
EVERYBODY WILL GET ONE
Send in Your Name Prof Harry Masten the Pioneer
Office.-No Live Citizen Should Be
Without One.

Nearly every merchant, business
and professional man in this city
has been booster. for the Bemidji
band. That's just as it should be.
A great many are contributing
monthly for its support, and this is
all being appreciated. Other cities
are doing the same thing tor their
band.
But here is what outsiders tell US
every day, and every time they hear
the Bemidji band, that it's shame
a band that can furnish music like
ours does not have uniforms.
Uniforms; that's it and many Be-
midi people are saying the same
thing. why don't they get uniforms?
There is mighty good reason for
this and here's the reason! 1t takes
about $500; and the band hasn't
got it.
The freman's tourney is to be
held here next July, and the band
ought to have uniforms on that
occasion. The question is, how will
we raise the money?
The Pioneer suggests the follow
ing plan: Wear Bemidji Band
Booster Buttons. These buttons
will be sold for 81 and the mer-
chants, professional men and helpers
are supposed to wear them after they
are purchased, under a penalty of
buying another if they havn't one
attached to their coat. The but
tons are to be worn from April 1st,
to July 1st, 1910. Who is there in
this city that would not do this much
for so good a cause? A great many
have expressed themselves heartily
in favor of this plan, and any one
having suggestions to make before
these buttons are ordered should do
so before March 18th. Mr.. Harry
Masten will gladly cooperate with
anyone in this respect.
Those who will pledge themselves
to the wearing of such a button
will confer a great favor to the
booster" committee by telephoning
their name to Mr.. Masten or the
Pioneer office before March 18th.
The committee should have little
trouble in disposing of from 800 to
500 of these buttons. The list of
button wearers will be published
from time to time, and the man
whose name is not on the list,-well
he's not booster that'ssall.
Of course women are not pro.
hibted from wearing these buttons
and the women who will pledge them
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1910-03-08

selves to this good cause will be
made honorary members of the Be-
midi Band Boosters Club. All the
names will be published in the order
they are received at this office.
The fund that can be raised by
this method with the money taken
in at the coming band concerts and
extra sums promised by some of
the popular business men of the
city will amply supply the wants
and needs of the band.
Now just a word in regard to the
regular attendance of the band
concerts. The last one held was
attended by a fair gathering, at
least it was considered as such by
comparison with previous crowds.
Well, we do not like to roast.
when the attendance is on the
increase, but the hall should be
packed from door to door, said a
new conner, who attended the last
concert, to listen to a band like
Bemidji's. There is little doubt too,
but what the Bemidji band will be
invited to play at the state fair this
coming fall, and the citizens should
lend every aid possible to bring this
about.

the officers, the spectators made a
bolt for the doors. Some of the
stunts pulled off by the spectators
in trying to make their exit would
make an acrobat look like a school
boy. Four and five rows of chairs
were hurdled in one jump; it is said,
and hundred-yard dash records were
lowered three and four seconds.
The authorities think it best to
nip such affairs in the bud and it is
thought by some that this. was the
of a series of such boxing
matches. 1t will probably stop any
future attempt in this line of sports.

COUNTY ATTORNEY STOPS
A QUIET Prize FIGHT
Timely Interference Of McKusick and
PoIice.-Spectators Make
Getaway.

An attempt to ConouCC prize
fight in the Coliseum Monday night
was brought to an abrupt end by
the interference of County Attorney
McKusick, assisted by officers Ben
ner and Millbach.
Apparently the plan of the fight
was kept very quiet, but as there are
leaks to many so.called secrets,
this was no exception.
The county attorney, with two
officers, forced their way into the
room and were at the ringside before
being noticed. Officer Benn er
stepped into the ring and placed
both principals under arrest, and,
assisted by Officer Millbach, the
principals were placed in custody.
Mr.. McKusick states that other
arrests will follow this afternoon and
his intention is to let the law take
its course with all parties interested.
1t is plain to be seen that prize
fights are a thing of the past in
Bemidji. Bemidji's reputation, in
years gone by, is entirely different
from that of Bemidji today. The
authorities wish it thoroughly under:
stood that law and order must pre-
vail and that no prize fights will be
tolerated in this city.
Immediately upon the arrival of

High School Will Have a Track Team.

I1IuII SCHUUt Will 0dve ITdGk lSouI
tits the intention the Bemldji
High School Athletic association to
place track team in the field of
sportdom, during the coming summer,
and with the purpose of getting the
candidates for the team into good
condition as early as possible, large
number of the students have already
begun to take the preliminary runs,
etc., to get rid of superhuous flesh
and get their breathing apparatuses
in good working order.
Prof. w. Z. Robinson, who has had
charge of athletics for the past
several months, has been putting
the boys through some good tests
for thesr work of rounding into form
for strenuous stunts on the cinder
path in the early summer.
A number of the candidates are
taking long walks and cross-country
runs, and pole vaulting, in the
grounds at the school building,
which is doing them a heap o.
good"
Professor Robinson is we'll pleased
with the outlook, especially for the
baseball team for the school, for this
season. Last year, the players on
the team were practically all green
timber" and did not make brilliant
record. However, nearly all of last
years players are in school this year,
and there is every reason to believe
that the Bemidji High School will
have strong representation on the
diamond.

TOURNAMENT DATES HAVE
BEEN SET FOR JULY 1867
Commercial Club and Firemen's Committee Agree on
Dates-July Fourth Will Be Celebrated With Big
Parade and Firemen's Races.

bratian, in which many of the sur
rounding towns have participated;
and for this year it is the intention
to make the fremen's tournament
take the place of the celebration on
the nations natal day, which will be
the initial day of the tourney.
A large number of the depart
ments in the western part of the state
have requested that the tournament
be held during the week of the
Fourth of July so that the fire
laddies may also enjoy an outing
while participating in the tourna-
ment, and those in charge of the Be-
midi arrangements have acceded to
the request, and the races and con.
tests will be so arranged that con-
siderable portion of each day may
be, spent in enjoying the boating,
bathing, fishing, camping, ETC., here
alb
For the opening day, July Fourth,
it is the plan of the joint CON-
mittee to have monster parade, in
which all the fire companies partici-
pating in the tournament will be in
line, and prizes will be given for the
best appearing and best drilled
companies.
A number of exhibition races will
be pulled off on the Fourth, but no
championship race will be run that
day, as there is a possibility that
some of the companies will not be
present until the second day of the
meeting.
! A feature of the parade will be the
appearance of Company K, Bemidji's
crack company of the Minnesota
National Guard. The company will
be in camp at Lake City from June
20 to 20, and will bave just returned
from a fine ten days, drilling and
general maneuvering, and will be in
fine fettle to participate in the
parade and give an exhibition drill
and sham battle.
F. The race track and fair grounds
will be used on which to run the
races; and fine cinder track will
be put in there just as soon as
spring opens.
The eastern division of the North
ern Minnesota Firemen's Tourna-
ment association will hold their
annual tournament at Grand Rapids
in the latter part of June, and the
dates of the Bemidji meeting will in
no manner conflict with the Grand
Rapids tourney.
AS the teams of both associations
will be in fine condition at the
beginning of July, it is suggested
that a race be arranged for the
Bemidji meeting for the champion
ship of the state, the exact nature of
the race or contest to be decided
later, the winning department of
each association to compete in this
race or contest, for suitable purse.
Earl Cell, chief of the Bemidj il fire
department, is president of the
tournament association; M. F. Cum
ningham of this city is secretary;
and the fire department tournament
committee is composed of Charles
Collins, Floyd Brown and John
Goodman.
