FIREMEN KEPT BUSY
Respond to -Four Calls Within Two
Days-Model Has Flame.

Four times within the past two
days has the fire department re-
sponded to alarms. First came the
Samaritan hospital fire, of Saturday
morning, which resulted in loss of
$4,000, then came an alarm from
the Ideal Billiard parlor at 6 o'clock
Saturday evening, the fire. being
readily extinguished. This fire is be-
lieved to have started from a hot
steam pipe, the floor. catching fire
and causing but trifling damage.
Early this morning the department
was called to the Fred F'radet resi-
dence at 1928 Dewey avenue, where
an ,overheated stove had caused
trouble. The entire exterior of the
house was badly damaged by fire and
water. An hour later fire. at the
Model bakery called for attention

STIPUL IS MADE
Attorneys in Brewery Restraining Or.
der Case Agree to Have Hearing
Stayed Until February Term.
BEER IS BEING SHIPPED

Alfred Jaques, United States attor-
ney, in behalf of the government, and
Judge Marshall A. Spooner, for the
Bemidji Brewing company, have stip-
ulated whereby stay is agreed to in
the injunction case against the In
dian agents. This case, in which a
restraining order has been in effect
during the past several weeks, was
to have been heard before Judge G.
w. Stanton today.
In the stipulation it is agreed to
stay the hearing until the next term
Of court in this county, which con-
venes February 8. The restraining
order prohibited H. A. Larson, chief
special officer, L. w. Carson, special
officer. and J. C. LeMarr, deputy spe-
cial officer, from in any manner dis
turbing the property of the brewery.
Since the order was made the COM
pany has shipped three carloads of
beer from the territory of the Indian
treaty and will send the rest of the
$4,000 stock as soon as it is suffi~
GENTLY matured The entire stock
on hand has been sold. -
With conditions as they now are it
is probable that the injunction case
will never be tried<as the stipula-
ton covers a period Of time during
which the brewery is almost certain
to ship what remaining beer, it has
on hand, rendering further litigation
useless

Mrs. Bailey Installed for Fifteenth
Time as Circle President.

For the fifteenth time, Mrs. H. w.
Bailey was Saturday afternoon in
stalled as president of the Circle of
Bemidji's G. A. R. post. This is a
record which has never been equaled
and most likely never will be and is
a high compliment to the executive
ability of Mrs. Bailey, who has so
successfully governed the business
affairs of the circle. At the same
meeting William Schroeder was in
stalled as commander of the post. L.
G. Pendergast, retiring commander,
and member of the lower house of
the state legislature, was present at
the meeting and gave talk which
was much enjoyed by those present.
Refreshments were served at the
