BFMIDJI TRIMS BRAINERD
Students Wind Up Basketball Sea.
son by Hard Fought Victory Over
Grow Wing Boys-score 24-l2
MAY YET PLAY F0ssT0N QU1NT

In what was perhaps the closing
game of the high school basket ball
season, Bemidji last night defeated
the Brainerd aggregation by a score
of ~ to 10. The game was one Of
the most hard fought ever played
here, and at times closely resembled
a gridiron match. Although playing
a losing game the Crow Wing boys
never once lost their fighting spirit
and during the last few minutes of
play were travelling at just as hard a
pace as when the opening whistle
was blown.
Bemidji had prepared for closely
contested game, and 7the pace set
by the local basket tossers was such
that the Brainerd boys were taken
by surprise Cameron at. centre for
Bemidji, together with Klein, were
the stars Of the evening play. Sew
eral times Cameron was able to con-
meet for baskets from difficult an
giles and his floor work, also that Of
Klein, was brilliant. Graham and
Riley at guards played strong basket
ball, but were inclined to rough-it
at times. Elletson, one of Bemidji's
reliable score getters, did well.
For Brainerd, Carlson was the
star. The heady little forward Sc
cured three difficult baskets and
threw four fouls, thereby scoring ten
of the visitors points.

FIGHTSFOR OPEN MARKETS
Farmers From Seven States Meet at
Minneapois-Board Of Trade is
Arraigned-Denounce Wheat Pit
URGE COOPERATION SYSTEM

Minneapolis, March 21.-Two hun.
dred farmers from seven Northwest
ern states gathered at the courthouse
In Minneapolis for the opening session
of the Farmers Cooperative Market
ing convention.
The purpose of the convention, as
outlined by Elias Stevenson, who
opened the meeting, is to form an or
ganization for the purpose of secur-
ing wider and more efficient cooper
alton among Northwestern farmers for
the cooperative marketing of all farm
products, and to carry on the fight
started Before congress last month
in behalf of free and open markets for
the farmers. The intention is to or
ganiZe cooperative creameries, tele-
phone and insurance companies and
all other farmers organizations into
one big national organization.
The principal address of the morn
ing session was made by H. S. Greeley
of Chicago. Mr.. Greeley said that this
convention was preaching the funeral
sermon of the Minneapolis chamber
of commerce and the Chicago board
of trade. The main part of his
speech was a severe arraignment of
the Chicago board Of trade, which, he
charged, practically fixes the price of
grain for the entire world. He said
that under the present system prices
of grain are not fixed by the law of
supply and demand, but by four men
in Chicago who control speculation.
Ira NJ. J. Chryst, president Of the
American Society of Equity outlined
the work the society has attempted to
do and urged the necessity of uniting
and solidifying the small farmers or.
CARNATIONS into one large society. He
| said that farmers should take part in
| politics, but not in a party SENSE, but
| should support and encourage candi
dates who stand for the best interests
Of the farmer, regardless of the party
they belong to. -.. .

THINGS ARE TOO UNCERTAIN

r. L. Given formerly connected
with the Given Hardware company
of this city has disposed of his in

II was right I'M the heart of the
best farming country in the state of
Montana, but when you compare it.
with Northern Minnesota it isn't in
it, said Mr.. Given.
"Things are too uncertain there.
If a man knew what / know now
about Minnesota l would consider
him sinnply crazy to leave this part
eff the country. I ann coming back
into Northern Minnesota to stay, be-
cause it is the best part of the United
States in which to live"
Bemidji hears news of this nature
practically every day. but when it
comes from man who has been in
business here and who has ventured
into section of the country that has
been heralded as the best on earth,
and then comes back with the news
chat Northern Minnesota has them
all obeaten for crop certainty and
better business conditions, we should
all make the most of it.

trolley lines owned by the New Haven

G. R. Middleton and G. M. Torrance
Ask Court to Cancel $2,296 Claim
in Malicious Prosecution Case

Several matters concerning cases
OF Importance were argued before
Judge G. w. Stanton in cham
bers today. One of the cases,
that of Lewis F. Houpt against
the Minnesota Ontario Power COM
pany, deals with the carrying out
of a contract between the plaintiff
and the defendant, whereby the for
mer was to secure $4,000 year, for
term of years, as manager of the
power company interests at Interna-
tional Falls.
The defense claims that Houpt was
found to lack sufficient ability to per-
form the necessary duties of the
management, and that his conduct
was such that the officials of the COM
pany could not retain him in such a
responsible condition For this rea-
son G. ]. lockwood and Harris Rich
ardson, we'll known lawyers of Min
neapolis and ST. Paul, respectively,
ask that the court rescind the con-
tract. sf.a@
Place Facts With Jury
On the other hand, r. J. McPartlin,
former county attorney of Koochi-
ching county, and who recently an
nounced that he would file in oppo-
sition to Judge Wright, and Frank
Palmer, both OF International Falls,
who represent Houpt, have placed a
motion for Judgment on pleadings be-
fore Judge Stanton, which if granted,
will mean that certain facts concern
ing the. case may be submitted to
jury. -..
The case has attracted a great deal
Of attention at International Falls,
and those familiar with the matter

attorney Of Polk county, who repre-
sents Emil Peterson, the Baudette
contractor and builder, also appeared
before Judge Stanton today. A mo-
tion is made by Mr.. Middleton re-
questing that the verdict in which
Peterson was awarded $2,296 for al
legged malicious prosecution, be set
aside, or in the alternative for a new
trial. Mr. Middleton has associated
with him in the case Graham M. Tor
rance, county attorney. a
Several Propositions
The motion is based on the follow
ing propositions: 1. That the YER
dict is not justified by the evidence.
2. That the verdict is contrary to
law g. Excessive damages, appear
ing to have been given under the in
fuence of passion and prejudice. En-
rors of law occurring at the trial and

Would Consult the Manager

If the owners of our leading hotel,
for instance, were to put up another
hotel, they would undoubtedly con-
suit the manager about the plans

would ask him to put up the build

Still more, if the owners of the hotel

ORPHEO MONDAY.

Already it's popularity has been thoroughly attested and it is acclaim ed the most stirring and most won derful picture conceivable. Clara Kimball Young,( who assumes the title role, makes very striking and impressive Russian peasant. Her eV- cry characteristic fits the part to a ncety and her appearance in the Russian court in the presence of the czar and cZarina is one of entranc- ing and ravishing beauty. Harry Mor- ey, Earle Williams, l.. Rogers Lyt- ton, Louise Beaudet, Charles Welles- ley and Rose Tapley make up cast that is fully responsible for the dra- matic power and uneXcelled interpre- tation of this great play. The clos ing scene is of the most thrilling and startling ever seen. The magnificent motor yacht, upon which Clara Kim ball Young and Earle Williams are making their escape from Russia, is blown to pieces by q terrific explo- sion, thus ending the lives of one of the most beautiful of adventurous ,WO- men and her most devoted lover.
