United States Indicated that his pre-.

No announcement to this effect was

Thaw in court. -
Later in the day, it was said,
Thaw's lawyer would request that the
case be put over. Decision in this
matter rested with Superior Judge
Globensky, sent down here from Mon.

Thaw spent the night in the hos:

urgent Geographic demands of his
family, retained new counsel to fight

he was hurrying here with Thaw's

to delay all proceedings, if possible,

the Thaw family as Sherbrooke's most
astute lawyer, took charge of the

grounds, for at Matteawan he was
charged with nothing, being held as

John Wise, that portly, smiling
newspaper man and member of the
State Normal School Board who halls
from Mankato, Minnesota was SO ia
ken up with Bemidji and what she
offered the state for the Sixth nor
NAL school that he went home and
told his people about it in his paper,
The Mankato Daily Review. He
wasn't stingy with his space either
and what he said was so good that
we have been unable to cut the ar
ticle no matter how hard we tried.
to use shears on it something would
be left out that our readers should
know, so here goes the entire ar
ticle.
Last Wednesday it was the pleas
ure of the writer, together with other
members of the State Normal board
to visit thriving little city of Be-
midi, the county seat of Beltrami
county, this state, and beautifully To-
Gated upon the shores of the lake
bearing the same name. The city
was recently designated by the spe-
cial commission appointed by Gov.
Eberhart and authorized by an act
of the last legislature, as the place
for the building of the. sixth state
Normal school, and the purpose of
the boards visit at this time was to
inspect the site which is to be given
by the city of Bemidji to the state
and upon which the new Normal will
be located. The special commission
has already viewed the site and two
members of the same, Representative
Brown of st. James and G. G.. Schulz
Of St. Paul, the latter also being a
member of the Normal board were
there on Wednesday, The visit, too,
was upon the imitation of the citi-
zens' committee of Bemidji who have
secured the tract of land for the
school site and before rendering the
same to the state they desired some
expression from the Normal board as
to the size of the tract, location, etc.
The deeds to the land will be soon
formally rendered to the Normal
school commission, who will present
their report as to designation of the
city, together with deeds to the land,
etc., to Gov. Eberhart on October list
next.

there, anyhow. I should say a sec
ond division club.
NashVille-You have to hand II
to the Vols for having a wonderful
first baseman. He's not bad man
ager either. Give him some money
and he'd win a pennant. But no
body has. He has a few fair play
ers left from last year and seems to
have picked up a couple of good
men. II Schwartz lands 'em in the
first division he's a wonder.
Montgomery-An erratic team,
mostly manager and bluff. Nobody
seems to know where to dope them,
but they aren't being picked for the
pennant.
Chattanooga-They are spending
money every season there and the
law of averages is going to give
them something after a while. Ell
berfeId is a doubtful experiment as
a manager. but may do something.
The team played below form last
year. VIII probably make fight
for a first division berth this year.
Atlanta-Bill Smith has a lively,
peppery team The infield is
corker. The outfeld needs one more
hitter. If it gets it-watch out
The pitching staff is uncertain, but
very promising. We can tell you
more about the catching staff by

THAT crowd at Ponce DeLeon
park Saturday-an amazingly
good one for an exhibition game
convinced George Stallings that It
would be foolish to journey back to
Athens. So he ordered the rest of
his men to report here, and the
Braves and the Crackers will play
at Ponce Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday.
Right now the score stands all
even between the National league
and the Southern league tail-end-
ers of 1911 and 1912. The Braves
won, after a struggle, Friday. The
Crackers won easily Saturday The
betting is about even money now
that the Crackers will grab the
series.
TY COBB'S famous team of Geor-
gians will be here Thursday
for three games. And, little as you
might think it, there is a peck of
interest in these games. Shouldn't

ords for an exhibition series broken
