May Not Pull Down Upper Berths, -
Says Bemidji Agent, G. A.
Walker.
CAN co TO SLEEP AT 9 O'CLOCK
On Trains Coming From St. Pau
Passengers Can Sleep as Long as
They Wish.

Local agent, c. A Walker, Of the
Minnesota and International Rail-
way, imparts the information that
the railroad company will put on an
additional sleeper exclusively for Be-
midi, commencing tonight and con-
tinuing through the state fair week.
The sleeper will be a twelve COM
partment Pullman with a large
drawing room in connection. This
gives patrons of the road from In
ternatiOnal Falls to St. Paul two
sleeping cars. One car will be known
as the Bemidji sleeper and will be for
the exclusive use Of patrons taking
the train at this point Those desir-
ing to go to the cities tonight or any
night the coming week can engage
their birth and go TO bed at nine
o'clock. Those coming from St. Paul
to Bemidji may remain in their births
until they choose to get up.
Mr.. Walker said today, I'VE will
endeavOr to keep the births open SIM
liar to the sleepers on the train run
from Minneapolis to Duluth over the
Northwestern road. This will give
the patrons of our road a service that
viii no doubt be highly appreciated. ="
The train that runs over the
Northwestern road from Minneapolis
to Duluth has two sleepers in which
the upper births are not pulled down,
giving the passengers the entire
height to the top Of the car There
can be no question about this kind
of service meeting with the utmost
approval of every passenger. 1t is
possible that, should the patronage
warrant the continuation of this ad-
ditional sleeper, the railroad COM
pany will keep the car on this run.

"On the l4th day of June, A. D.

thing about it until the defendant

of Court Commissioner Simons' and
the hearing was all over with.
Judge Marshall A. Spooner, chief
counsel for the defense, was not en-
tirely surprised at the action of the
government. 1t was the general i'm
preston that inasmuch as the Cass
Lake mayor was within easy hailing
distance at all times, the United
States would leave the case to the
disposal of the state before it brought
action.

How Wrestlers Compare.

Chicago, Ill.,, Sept. 2.-1n the AM
erican League baseball park Monday
afternoon Frank Gotch, the worlds
champion wrestler, will defend his
title against George Hackenschmidt,
the Russian Lion" from whom the
Iowa grappler wrested the champion
ship in contest in this city on
April 3, 1908. The bout has attract
ed attention on both sides of the At
lantic and should prove the choicest
tid-bit that has been offered follow
ers of the game in long while. The
men will wrestle to finish, the win
ner gaining two falls out of three
and carrying off the lions share of
the gate receipts besides a large side
bet and the championship title.
Both wrestlers are reported today
to be in the finest fettle for the match
and all indications point to a desper-
ate struggle for supremacy. In a
broad sense the contest will be one
of cleverness against strength and
endurance. Gotch is acknowledged
to be the cleverest wrestler who ever
stepped on the mat. Hackenschmidt
no little science in his
but his main reliance always
has been his wonderful power of
strength and endurance.
