PUTS BOAT ON RED LAKE
A. A. Andrews Will Operate 40 Foot
Passenger Launch for Settlers.

Attorney A. A. Andrews returned
yesterday from Wisconsin, making
the trip in his Wescott car. While
in Wisconsin Mr.. Andrews purchased
a forty-foot. gasoline launch which
he will place on Red Lake for pas
senger service. The boat is capable
of making IS miles an hour and will
be operated between Redby and
Washkish, at the mouth of the Tam
arac River, making two trips each
week. = Mr.. Andrews has named the
new boat the "Coloney Funkley'' in
honor of Henry Funkley, who was
the promoter of the first judicial
ditch established on Red Lake land
some five years ago, and which has
been instrumental in locating of
many settlers in that vicinity.

DECISION in MAJOR CASE
Supreme Court Atfirms Bemidji Jurist
and Litigation Over Minnesota Az
enue Building Probably Ended.
DEALS WITH PROPERTY SOLD. 500

Litigation over the Major Brothers
brick building on Minnesota avenue
has probably reached an end by reason
Of decision filed in the state SUI
preme court Friday in the case of
Major Brothers versus V.-M Owen in
which the order for Judgment made
by Judge C. w. Stanton in favor Of
the plaintiffs for about $1,7O0, was
affirmed. ~-.-..-.., -.
It appears that J: D. Lunn and Ed
ward Leonard as trustees of Major
Brothers, conveyed their equity in
this property to Owen without any
consideration. Two or three years
later the property was sold to- the
500 Railroad company through con-
demnation proceedings for. about
$4,000, which brought about the pay
ment to Owen of the sum of about
$l,700 after paying all incum-
ORANGES, liens and taxes
This action was brought to recover
this amount from Owen, although in
a former action the court had ad-
Judged Owen to be the owner of the
legal title A. A.. Andrews and Joha
Gibbons represented the plaintiff and
E. E. Mcdonald the defendant ="
The following is the syllabus of the
supreme court decision: ="
l. Plaintiffs, alleging title in
themselves, brought an action to de-
termine adverse claims to a city lot.
The legal title was in defendant. Evil
dence that plaintiffs were the equita-
BILE owners of the lot was excluded as
inadmissable under the pleadings,
and judgment was rendered that de-
PENDANT was the owner thereof. Held:
That such judgment did not bar
plaintiffs from asserting their equita-
BILE rights in subsequent action.
2. While the action to determine
adverse claims was pending, a rail-
way company appropriated the lot
for railway purposes through con-
domination proceedings, and paid the
compensation therefor into court
After judgment had been rendered in
the action to determine adverse
claims, defendant filed certified
copy thereof in the = condemnation
proceedings and thereupon the money
deposited by the railway company
was paid to him by order of the court.
1t does not appear that the equitable
rights of plaintiffs to this money was
presented to or passed upon by the
court when making such order. Held {:
That the order does not bar plain
tfffs from enforcing such equitable
rights in the present action

fit. The machine will pull a roller,
grader and dirt wagons and is being

ally. 50
President Jewett, Secretary D.. H.

such a move and further suggested
that the money be raised to begin
work on the road north Of Bemidji,

and it was urged that the road
around the lake be fitted for better
travel.

further suggested that the club buy

vantages Of this machine over the
others. The members favored this
idea and it is believed that his sug-
gestion will be followed -.
Citizens Oppose Move. 49,. ,. L.
After the adjournment of the meet
ing, work quickly passed from mouth
to mouth regarding the possible ac-
ton of the club. Dozens were heard
to express themselves opposed to

piece of Especial privilege railroad
ing. ;..z~
The club will meet again next Fri

ATHL tics DIVIDE
SUPERIOR GAMES
Bemidji Boys Lost Saturday Contest
Going to Visitors Z to 2-Won Yes
day After Brilliant Uphill Fight.
YOUNG PAUL PITCHES GOOD BALL
Holds Strong Tower Aggregation
Down to Seven Hits Olson Pound
edfor Fifteen Safe Bingles..

Playing an uphill game the Be-
midi Athletics yesterday afternoon
won from the Towers-of Superior by
a score of II to 6, thereby dividing
the series with the visitors, having
lost the Saturday game by score of
Z to 2.
Charlie Paul, who last year twirled
for the Bemidji Juniors, was on the
mound for the Athletics yesterday
and he showed the best form Of any
|of the Bemidji pitchers this season.
The little fellow had his curves work
ing in fine shape and the heavy hit
ting Towers were able to gather but
seven safe, bingles from his delivery.
Superior's scores resulted almost en-
.tirely from errors on the part of Be-.
midi players during the first part
of the game. /
Il Score Against Them.
rs With the score five to 1 against
them the tBemidji boys, found Olson,
the Tower pitcher for another tally
in the fourth and in the sixth, sew
enth and eighth were able to cross
the plate nine times, hits by Bailey.
Rice, Weaver, Brandon and Howe
and errors by the visitors cinching
the contest for Bemidji.
Both Games Good.
Both games were good and the
boys are deserving of much better
support than was given them yester-
day. 1t takes financial backing to
bring outside teams here or to
strengthen the Bemidji aggregation.
Cass Lake plays here next Sunday
and a large attendance should be on
hand to encourage tire players. III

ACTION OF COLLIER
CAPTAIN I CRITICISED
Captain Kendall, Commander Of Lost
Liner Tells Story-Withdrawal of
Coal Vessel fastened End.
ANSWERED WARNING WHISTLES
Knew of Approach of Another Boat
Not Exactly Foggy When
Crash Came.

Rimouski, Que, June bearing
more than 800 of the. Empress of Ire
lands dead, the government boat Lady
Grey steamed away from here for
Quebec. There, in an improvised
morgue, the victims of the disaster
will await Identification
Still crushed by the ira gedy that
befell him and his liner within a few
minutes after she was struck by the
collier Storstad in the st. Lawrence
river near here, Captain H. G. Ken
dali lanlcAted bitterly the failure of
the coal vessel to hold her bow in the
rent she opened in his ships side.
The fate of the vessel was fastened,
and the death list probably greatly
increased, by the hasty withdrawal
Of the Storstad from the cash she in
ficted in the passenger vessels side.
AS the waters rushed into the hole
left exposed when the Storstad back.
cd away despite Captain Kendalps
pleadings, the sea found the boilers
and the explosion that followed ripped
apart still further the vessels sides
and sealed her DOOM
NOT ACTUALLY FooGY
WHEN CRASH CAME
1t was misty, but not actually fog
gy, when the crash came. The EN-
press had passed Rimouski and was
on her course. Captain Kendall was
on the bridge and ordered the ship
slowed down. Then he made out the
lights of an approaching steamer. He
whistled and the steamer answered.
indicating that the signal had been
understood.
The vessels were far apart when
these signals were exchanged AS
they came nearer the Empress en-
Eines came to full stop, but she
drifted under her momentum. Then
Kendall, 1t is said ordered "slow
astern." The Storstad kept on her
way toward the liner.
One theory expressed is that Cap
tain Anderson the Storstad-tried- to
cross the bow of the larger boat At
any event her nose missed the bow
of the liner and she plunged into her,
just amidships. 1t was not a severe
shock. but the wound inflicted was at
the spot where the double hull and
bulkheads were of no avail.
Passengers who had crowded the
upper works, hoping for rescue, were
blown into the water by the boilers
explosion, many Of them never to
set foot on land again. Many who had
escaped death or injury in the splin-
tering Of wood and smashing of steel
in the collision met their fate below
decks without chance for their
lives
