One=Armed Man Robbed
After Being Slugged By
Bar; Accused Is Arrested

Percy Sullivan, an employe Of the
box factory, is under arrest charged
with having slugged and robbed
William Colgrove,- another employe OF
the factory, last evening about
o'clock near the brick yards. Col
grove alleges having been robbed of
$2O.23.
According to Colgrove, who is a
one-armed man, he was walking when
he met Sullivan. the latter was
armed, so Colgrove says, with an iron
bar with which he struck his alleged
victim hard blow on the side of the
head Colgrove threw up an arm to
ward off another blow and received
the bar on the wrist. He turned to
run and just as he did so he received
another blow on the back of the skull
which dropped him, rendering him
unconscious for a few minutes. 1t
was while in this state, he asserts,
he was robbed of his wallet.
Complaint was made to the police
department and this morning Chief
Ripple apprehended the accused at
work. His hearing is set for next
Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock be-
fore Commissioner Fisk.

FIRST OF BASKETBALL
SERIES PLAYED TONIGHT

Tonight at the Armory the Carle-
ton All-Star basketball team and the
Big Bemidg five will clash in the
first of series of three games and
basketball fans are looking to some
classy basketball playing.
The visiting team is composed of
college star players and the locals
have some of the best material in this
part of the state. There will be en-
tertainment for all and big time is
on tap.
This is the first time the "Big Be-
midg" team will be seen in action
since the season of 1914-15 when this
city was represented by one of the
best fves in the Northwest. From
advance "dope" on local players the
team this season compares very ia
vorably with former fives represent
ing Bemidji.
The game will commence at s
o'clock, and the "Dutch" band will
render music before and during the
contest.
