BENEDICTS PROVE STRONG
Five Headed By George Donaldson
Trim Single Men By 1873 Pins
on Gillette Alley
PFEIFER SECURES HIGH SCORE

George Donaldson's benedict bowl
ing five proved to much for team
comprised of unmarried men on the
Gillette alley last night and as a con-
sequence the married men slipped
away with the victory by splitting
2720 pins to their opponents 1882,
winning by 1873 counts.
The single men were headed by
William Berrigan, and for time his
partners gave the benedicts a hard
rub, but in the last game allowed
them to increase their lead
]. Pfiefer won the honor of rolling
the evenings high score, piling up a
total of 24S in one game. M. S. Gill
lette, who is perhaps Bemidji's best
bowler, and who played with the mar
ried men, averaged 206 for the
nights work.
Bowling is just as popular as ever
in Bemidji this year, and several
tournaments to be held during the
year are being discussed. A team to
represent the city in contests with
neighboring places will be selected
soon.

Many hunting parties are being

view is few inches of snow, there
being none in the woods now.
Several hunters from the twin

of the state have already arrived in
Bemidji and will leave tomorrow and
Monday for their favorite shooting
grounds.
During the last few days several

SHERIFF IS NOT LIABLE
Supreme Court In Decision Written
By Chief Justice Affirms Judge
Stanton In Hubbard Case
IN LITIGATION SEVERAL YEARS

After having been in litigation for
several years the case of H. A. Man
ter, appellant, versus Daniel Petrle,
sheriff of Hubbard County, has been
concluded, the supreme court yes
terday having handed down a deci-
sion which affirms Judge G. w. STAN
ton Of the lower court.
Several years ago Sheriff Petrie
raided the blind pig of Manter's IA
Their and took possession of the pro-
perty. The case against Manter was
thrown out of court, and he at once
demanded of the sheriff that he re-
turn the goods. This Petrie refused
to do and the case was again taken
to the district court which held that
the sheriff was justified in not re-
turning the property unless ordered
to do so by the court A new trial was
requested by c. W. Scrutchin, at
torney for the plaintiff, which was
refused and the case taken to the
supreme court with the result that
Chief Justice Brown yesterday wrote
an opinion affirming Judge. Stanton.
The syllabus of Judge Browns de-
cision follows:
1. Property seized by an officer
pursuant to a warrant issued under
section 1858, r. l.. 1905, in proceed
ings against an unlicensed drinking
place is, after seizure, in the custody
of the law, and the possession there
of by the officer cannot be disturbed
until the proceedings are terminated,
and an order of the court disposing
of the property is made and served
upon him, or in some way brought
to his official attention.
2. Until such order is made by
the court neither an action for the
possession, for the conversion, or for
the loss of the property by the neg
ligence of the officer can be main
tanned by the owner of the property
or by any person claiming an interest
therein.
3. Complaint construed and held
not to state a cause of action for the
recovery of the value of such prop
erty, in that it does not allege that
an order had been made by the court
directing it's return to plaintiff.

SAYS SPECTATORS
GET BEST TRACTS
Governor Eberhart Declares Actual
Settlers Cannot Buy State Lands
Under Present System.
WILL URGE EXCLAMATION
Contract With Government Should
Be Carried Out, Declares
State Executive.

st. Paul, Nov. S.-Charging that
under the present system Of dispos-
ing of swamp lands by the state the
best tracts are gobbled up by the
spectators and that legitimate set
ters have no chance, Governor Eb-
erhart said yesterday that he will
urge the next Legislature to enact
laws for the reclamation Of these
lands in Northern Minnesota.
The Governor has returned from a
ten days visit in the East. While
in Washington he conferred with A.
A. Jones, assistant secretary of the
interior, in regard to state land
grants now in dispute.
Cannot Lose Lands.
"The state has absolute title to all
swamp lands heretofore selected and
to the 100000 acres still to be pat
ented," said the Governor. "Officials
Of the Interior department acknowl-
edge this. But in conjunction with
the grant of 1850 Congress passed
law requiring the state to use the
money derived from the sale of these
lands for their improvement. This
has never been effectively done"
Calls Investment Profitable.
The Governor says that if the mon
ey from the sale of these lands is
put into improvements the state will
soon have a vast and fruitful acre
age, which it can dispose of at high
prices to actual settlers. Under the
present conditions the sales to specu-
lators do not bring settlers in their
wake, and the land is being held for
raise in value.
What Northern Minnesota needs"
he said, g is more people to develop
its resources. Improving these lands
will be a benefit financially to the
state in many ways, and a good in
vestment. 1t will provide homes for
thousands, promote industry and in
crease general prosperity"
Drainage Laws Inadequate.
The Governor said that the pres
ent drainage laws are inadequate,
that the appropriation for this work
has lapsed, and the greater part of
the northern swamps have been sold
are still unimproved and unproduc
tive.
The agitation for reclamation laws
in conformance with the acts of
King and w. R. Mckenzie of the
Northern Minnesota Development as
ISOLATION week ago. They sent a
protest to Washington against the
state laws apportioning the money
from the sale of these lands to the
school and road funds and insisted
that the state be compelled to keep
it's contract. The Governor was in
Washington at that time and imme-
diately called on the Interior depart
ment officials in regard to the mat
ter.
The Governor also takes the posi-
ton that because of the character of
the lands at present homeseekers can
not visit them before purchasing and
that as a result spectators have the
advantage. He says they are buy
ing all the choice parcels and allow
ing the remainder to go to waste.

VISITS BEMIDJI
Athletics Famous Twirler Here AS a
Guest Of Brother-Leaves for Pu-s

COMPLIMENTS CONNIE MACK

Will Return In Week.


Leslie Outlet .Joe) Bush, the
Brainerd young man, and member of
the Champion Athletics, who made
himself famous among the great
pitchers of the world by defeating
the Giants in the worlds series
month ago, is the guest of Bemidji

leave this afternoon for Puposky
where he will spend a week hunting
big game. He will be accompanied
on the trip by his brother and Will
liam Hyatt. 81
Felt He Could Win,
The young man regards his tri-
umph on the baseball field with a
manner of unconcern, and says it
has been his ambition since child
hood to some day pitch a big league
nine to victory. When asked wheth-
er he was nervous when assigned to
pitch, the third game of the series
against the Giants, he replied that
the fact that the Athletics had three
runs to the good when he stepped on,
the mound gave him a confidence
which told him he would win. 80.
Bush could not say enough for his
team mates and the manager, Connie
Mack. Is e.E ... ..rs
a. The Greatest Manager.
Connie Mack is the greatest man
ager Of them ALL" said the young
star, "a fellow cannot help working
for him and doing all in his power
to help him. It seemed to me that
I was pitching for Connie Mack that
day, and wanted to win for his sake.
The fellows of the team are the best
bunch in the league. There is no
one-man play, they work together all
the time" - ~ .,EE
! A lame arm caused Bush to remain
idle. for some time during the season
and this explains why he was not
worked in more full games.
Bush does not know what he will.
do during the winter, but expects to
remain at home until February when
he will leave for Jacksonville, Flor

begin. ia

When asked of the rumors con-
corning when he intended to be mar
ried, the pitches smiled and said,
Zone more season and then I will do
so, if the girl will have me-"
Leslie is we'll known in Bemidji
and his welcome here was almost as
cordial as was that given him IN
Brainerd on his return from Phila-
delphia. "
He says he does not intend to go
on the vaudeville stage.

TELLS OF ADDRESS RULES
Assistant Postmaster General Ad-
vises Erickson in Handling I'm
properly Addressed Mail
CAUSES DELAY IN DELIVERY

Because of the increasing trouble
caused postoffice officials of the
United States by carlessness in adj
dressing mail matter: Daniel Roper,
first Assistant Postmaster General
has informed Anton Erickson, the
Bemidji postmaster Of certain in
structions which are being given for
handling improperly addressed mail.
The delivery Of lttters, especially
in large cities, is frequently delayed
and often times made impossible by
the commission of an important part
of the address, such as the street
number, or room number when adj
dressed to. an office building. Not
infrequently the name Of the street
is omitted, only the name of the
post office and state being given.
Another source of trouble is the
practice of giving an address at the
intersection Of two streets without
giving the location of the corner, for
in some large cities number of car
riers' routes may terminate at that
point or it may be the dividing line
between the respective territories of
the main post office and station or
between two stations, and in the
absence of the notation IN. E., IN.
w." ect., the distributors are unable
to determine to which carrier the
mail should be thrown.
The increasing carelessness on the
part Of the public in addressing their
mail is in doubt aided and abetted
by the practice of the department in
supplying deficient addresses and al
SO by the exploitation in newspapers
of the ability of some clerks to de-
cipher "freak addresses"
Postmasters are asked to advise
their patrons that complete and &C
curate addresses are essential to
prompt mail delivery and that they
should Cooperate with the depart
ment to the extent of seeing
that all mail originated by them
bears a street number, or
room number in the case of
an Office building, in addition to
the name of the city and state. Pat
rons can be OF material assistance in
the education of the general public
with respect to this requirement by
having all their stationery intended
for transmission in the mails printed
with their complete street or office
address.
Hereafter when the delivery of
mail is delayed on account of insult
ficient address that fact will be
stamped on the face Of the mail with
rubber stamps for this purpose, bear
ing the words Delivery delayed on
account of incomplete address. -
