Big Bemidg came back again last
night and wiped out the defeat Of
the previous night at the hands Of
Two Harbors in a clean we'll played
game Of basketball at the Armory,
in the presence Of large number
of spectators. Score, 80 to 26. The
game was fast all the way through
and full of action from start to
finish
Manager Jacobson's boys played a
swell game throughout and every
member of the quintet was in the
game every minute of play. In the
second half Tanner and Graham
went into the fray, Peck and Howe
withdrawing and Tanner annexed
four field baskets.
The basket shooting on the part
of Woodward of Two Harbors was
little short of sensational. his long
shots being with unerring accuracy
which brought forth hearty applause
on the part of the spectators. He
netted six baskets in the scramble.

MURDER IN FIRST
DEGREE, VERDICT
in P0LAK TRIAL;
ACCUSED UNM0YED
Jury Reports 1t $50 O'clock at
Night; Trial Lasts Nearly Week;
Interpreter Required.
VICTIM SLAIN CHRISTMAS EVE:
WIDOW MARRIES SOON AFTER
Defendant Claims Self Defense;
Loads Revolver and Carries It
Night of Murder.

William Polak of Spooner stood
up before Judge c. w. Stanton in the
district court room this af-
ternoon and heard the Judge sentence
him to spend the rest of his life be-
hind the walls of the penitentiary
at Saltwater. He made no outward
Sign as the sentence was pronounced.
Judge Stanton gave the jury three
~verdicts to choose from-murder in
the first degree, murder in the Sec
ond degree and manslaughter in the
first degree. The jury decided upon
murder in the first degree. The
state was represented by States At
,torney G. M. Torrance.
Murder in the first degree, was
the verdict of the jury which heard
the trial of Billy Polak, charged with
Staying Nick Sobstyczson at Spoon
er Christmas eve. The verdict was
returned last evening at $3.50 o'clock
in the district court in Bemidji
Judge Stanton presiding.
At the time of the returning of
Ithe verdict only the Judge, the jury
and the prisoner and one or two
Others were present. Polak received
the decision of the jury unmoved,
seeming not to comprehend what
the verdict meant-life imprfson-
'ment. He is unable to understand
a word OF English and the verdict
was interpretated to him.
"Preparedness" Advocate
It was brought out, by the ac-
cused's own admission that he fired
oto1 in oil a
claimed self defense, alleging that
it was merely his own statement.
He asserted that his victim jumped
from behind a telephone pole to
attack him and that he fired the
shots in self defense. But he also
admitted that he had gone up stairs
in his own house, secured revolver
and cartridges and loaded the gun
on the outside of the house. He
stated that he had heard Sobstyczson
was angry at him.
Both principles lived in houses on
the same lot and trouble arose over
who should pay the taxes. After the
killing, Polak fled across the inter-
national boundry but soon returned
and was taken into custody and held
without bond.
Widow Soon Bride
The victim of the shooting was
married. He was murdered Christ
mas eve and in about a week the
widow again became bride. At the
January term of the district court
she appeared at the opening with her
new husband ready to take the
stand but the case was put over
until the session this month. On
the witness stand she attracted
considerable attention.
The trial commenced Tuesday and
its length was due to the fact that
the defendant and practically every
witness were unable to speak Eng
1ish and an interpreter was con-
stantly required.
