OPEN as fast as Dan Patch went be-
hind pacemaker.
Notwithstanding the immens,

open" as fast as Dan Patch went be-
hind a pacemaker.
Notwithstanding the immense
popular success attained by the Sa-
wage PAGERS during 1910 Mr.. Savage
predicts a greater success in 1911.
He predicts this for two reasons.
First, each one of the four PAGERS is
more experienced, has wintered un-
usually well and seems much more
fit for. flights of extreme speed than
in the spring of 1910. Second,
when these four mighty speed mer-
chants meet this fall it will not be
in a one mile dash, but in a three
heat race under trotting association
rules and exactly the same condi-
tions as those which govern the
races for the country's biggest
purses.
The horses are now being given
their spring training on the Inter-
national Stock Farm at Savage,
Mimi, and as Mr.. Savage has already
refused several offers of early dates
it Is probable that their first real
battle of the season will be on Labor
Day over the Minnesota state fair
track. Mr.. Savage is very much
pleased over the closing of a contract
with the Minnesota state fair as he is
anxious to have some member of his
stable give Minnesota. his home
state, new worlds record, as his
inimitable Dan Patch gave her the
worlds speed record that seems des-
tined to stand for years to come.

Unfortunate Resident Of This City,
Who Was Sent to Asylum in Jan.
uary Arrested Last Night.
ESCAPED FROM FERGUS, EASTER
Walked Nearly All the Way, Riding
Only From Crookston to Bagley
h Worked for Fare.

Work was received in Bemidji yes
terday afternoon to the effect that
James Driver, the Bemidji man, who
was sent to the insane hospital at
Fergus Falls in January, and who es-
capped from that place on Easter Sun
day, had been seen sitting in front
OF the Grant Valley city hall eating
loaf of bread -t :
Sheriff Hazen at once sent several
deputies to Grant Valley, but they
took the wrong road, Driver having
taken the road across the swamp.
During the evening Driver was dis
covered in Bemidji by George Cam
turbury, chief clerk in the store OF
w. G. Schroeder.
Mr.. Canterbury followed him sew
eral blocks before overtaking him
and then telephoned to Officer Dem
ley, who placed him under arrest.
Drtxer wassent to Fergus Falls on
the twelfth day of January, and the
reason given on the commitment pa
pers was that he was religiously in
sane. ~ +
j.. r. &
According to statements made by
Driver this morning, in regard to his
escape from the hospital, he had, to-
gether. with several other patients
and a nurse, gone to the Methodist
church in the city of Fergus Falls on
Easter morning, and that upon his
return to the asylum he was refused
dinner, as he was little late. ~. -.
About 4 o'clock Easter afternoon
he took his clothes which he had on
when arrested, and began his journey
which was completed last night.
He had walked all the way from
Fergus Falls, except the distance be-
tween Crookston and Bagley, he hav-
ing worked for enough money to OBJ
tain his car fare that far.
. He begged for what food he did
not work for.
Driver seems to be in good health
but talks continually on religion.
It is believed that he will be re-
turned to the asylum.
The case is very sympathetic one.
as the unfortunate man has family
here, is the owner of a farm near
the city which has not been seeded
and has other land which he will
lose unless payments are made in
the near future. ..

Police Methods In Berlin.

Berlin is the most strictly governed
city In the world. and stranger will
be continually violating the ordinances
and regulations without being con.
scious OF his offenses. But the penal
ties are not severe, and the policeman
who arrests you is prepared to i'm
pose the fine on the spot instead of
calling patrol wagon and taking you
to the police station. You pay him a
few marks. for which he gives you a
receipt. and within twenty-four hours
you mast appear before the captain
In charge Of that precinct and turn
In the receipt as check upon the po-
uceman who has arrested you.

Held Interesting Meeting.

Last evenings meeting of the Be-
midi Automobile club was largely
attended and much business of i'm

1t was decided that the club should
go right ahead with the repairing of
certain roads which means that they
will be put to no little expense.

Easiest harness horse racing in
the world at the Minnesota State
= Fair September 4th and 9Th, 1911"
This advertising line will be used
by the Minnesota State Agricultural
Society without fear of question or
criticism. The ground upon which
the state fair officials base this pro-
diction is the closing of deal with
NJ. w. Savage which insures the ap-
pearance at the Minnesota State Fair
OF five of the worlds fastest horses.
These horses are Dan Patch, 1855:
Minor Heir, 1853 1-2; Lady Maud c.,
200 1-2; Hedgewood Boy, 2:O1 and
George Gano, 2:O2 H. This ag-
gragation of champions is admitted
, to be the greatest stable of horses
ever gathered together and their APP
pearance on one track and in a race
for the championship of the world
will be the attraction that no horse
man or horse lover of Minnesota orr
the northwest can resist.
Under the terms Of the contract,
which will be signed in few days,
AR, Savage agrees to exhibit Dan
Patch, the champion of all champion
harness and the one animal more
than all others that has brought fame
and glory to Minnesota and the Min
nesota state fair track, on the fair
grounds and track during the entire
week of September 4th to 9th. This
will undoubtedly be the greatest
PAGERS farewell appearance as the
champion has been permanently re-
tired from the track and from ex-
hibition work and will be brought to
tn Minnesota state fair grounds only
as a special concession by Mr. Savage
and owing to the fact that the horse
has so long been an idol of Mime
sotans, and that he had made his
own and the worlds fastest mile
over the Hamline track.
The real entertainment and inter-
est of the card will center in the race
for worlds championship honors be-
tween Minor Heir, Lady Maud c.,
Hedgewood Boy and George Gano.
Last year this quartet raced over
some of the best tracks in the United
States. They travelled nearly twen-
ty thousand miles and gave exhibit
lions from Canada to Mexico and
from Pennsylvania to Arizona in
sixteen states and eighteen different
towns. They raced before great
crowds of people and were applauded
by hundreds Of thousands of horse
lovers.
During the season the combination.
lowered state, record nineteen
times. At present the state race
record of fourteen states is held by
some member of the Savage stable.
They lowered the worlds record six
times and lowered the track record
Of every track owed which they
started. Minor Heir holds two and
Lady Maud c., three new race re-
cords and Minor Heir, during the
season of 1910, paced four miles, in
a race, faster than any other harness
horse ever went Minor Heir con-
clusively proved himself to be the
greatest speed marvel the horse
world has ever known He did
things that even Dan Patch failed to
do and hundreds of horsemen
throughout the country predict that

V0lu6 OF Land
in Colorado

How much is land worth in Co.
dorado without water and based
on its earning capacity through
the crops produced? A Larimer
county man just negotiated a
lease for 204 acres Of state land
for five years for which he is re-
CURED to.pay an annual rental of
So the acre. This means that he
will have to pay the state a total
of So, 1852 and on top Of all this
must make arrangements for the
annual supply of ditch water to
lrrigate the property, which will
be 81 more. 1t is a
pretty good farmer who can pay
an annual rental of $40 the acre
and come out with whole hide
by growing general crops. Sugar
beets will not do and he will not
have time to bring fruit into cul-
Sure, so he will have to depend
On annual crops such as grain

About six thirty last evening
as Neal and Sam Jenson, Earl
Scott and Clarence Ogier were
on their way to supper, they
noticed smoke coming from the
roof of the house occupied by w.
P. Conner, Robert Lentz who
was passing on the other street
also saw the fire and ran for a
ladder, while the rest secured
water. At once they got on the
roof and soon had the fire out.
The Aue was a ventilated sheet
iron or galvanized iron affair and
had apparently burned through
on the inner side, exposing the
outer portion, which was next
the wood to the smoke and heat,
Some Of the furniture was car
ried out of the house, but no
further harm was done than a
Wetting and a hole in the roof.
The house is the property Of Miss
