RAIN, COLD COATS
WALKS With ICE:
MANY ACR0BATICS

Some time, one. day, someone sat
himself down and wrote "Pride
goeth before a fall" and If that be
the case there was considerable pride
rampant in Bemidji last evening and
this forenoon, all on account of the
ice coated condition of the side
walks. e..
Last evening g. slight mist became
noticeable and later tiirned into a
fine drizzle, freezing as it fell to the
walks, making walking decidedly
uncertain and Bemidji experienced
great difficulty in navigating.
There were some of the best aero
batic feats pulled off in the history
OF Bemidji and some Of them would
have made a circus performer turn
green with envy.
One mans feet went from under
him at the corner Of Beltrami avenue
and Second street and when he land
ed he broke a two dollar bill In a
wallet in his hip pocket.
Another man slipped coming out
of the city hall after attending. the

of her umbrella.
And there were numerous other
tumbles and falls throughout the

Basketball Free-for-aH Is
Won BY Bemidji, 20 to Is;
PO1iCeChief Guards Referee

It might have been basketball but
it appeared more like a riot, the
game played last night at the Ar.
mory between the Bemidji high
school team and the Brainerd high
school quintet, and for a few min
utes Chief of Police Ripple was of
the opinion a jamboree of the I. w.
with what seemed to be threaten
ing. Bemidji won, score 20 to 1S.
The trouble was over Referee
Schropp of St. Cloud. Coach Juv-
rud of the local H. H. team had
tried to secure three referees and was
unable to secure one and Little Falls
recommended Schropp. Coach Juv-
rud is a newcomer to Bemidji and
was not aware of some ill feeling
hanging over from year ago, and
with what was regarded as deliberate
unfairness on the part of the referee,
some of the spectators generated
what might be termed free-for-
all, Chief Ripple being obliged to
protect Referee Schropp.
"1 am 3THlEqd tqSly soFfy, KeEFe1S.i Stated Coach

GAS VICTIM ABLE
TO RESUME Duties

Miss Capitola Stewart resumed her
duties as clerk at the Bazaar store
this morning after a few days illness.
Miss Stewart and her mother mar
rowly escaped asphyxiation when gas
escaped from the coal stove. A
brick had fallen into the chimney,
clogging it so that the gas came in
to the room instead of going up
through the flue Mrs. Stewards
son, S. T. Stewart, who occupies a
room upstairs in the building, was
but slightly affected and was able to
resume his business the next day.

ANARM0RY Will BE
ERECTED IN BEMIDJI;
WHAT KIND DESIRED

The question of the $4,000 bond
issue to be voted on next Tuesday for
the proposed new armory, does not
by any means settle the armory pro-
ject for~the city of Bemidji. There
will be: expended this summer the
$4,000 offered by the state for the
erection of an armory in Bemidji on
the site purchased by enterprising
citizens for the location of the ar
mory at the foot of Third street and
the lake.
The $4,000 asked to be voted is to
enable the city to have a handsome
structure such as it would not be
ashamed of and center for commu-
nifty activities of proper nature.
It was stated last evening at the
mass meeting that the erection of the
big brick structure would bring to
Bemidji $4,000 of outside money to
be spent here for labor and material
for the building, IS per cent of the
cost to remain here, it was esti-
mated, for craftsmen, laborers, etc.
The cost of maintenance is pro-
vided by statute. The city has al
ready voted $3.50 per year, as pre-
|scribed. The janitor and engineer at
the public library receives SIS per
month, and it is figured not more
than $40 per month would be suffi-
cient for the armory building when
needed. Then there would be rental
for affairs of various nature, all go
ing into the mainainence of the ar
mory.
Whether the armory shall be a
handsome brick structure or one of
less import is a question the voters
will be asked to decide.

BRITISHNAVY ALERT
(By United Press)

Washington, Feb. 17.-After two
weeks of broken relations with Ger
many, President Wilson finds the in.
ternational situation increasingly
difficult.
A break with Austria seems i'm.
minent and United States ports are
virtually blocked. Apparently rec.
ognizing the effectiveness of the Ger
man blockade, indications are that
Germany has not changed its course.
Germany has boldly announced
that she will sink any American
merchant ship if armed without any
formalities, warning or inspection.
Meanwhile, England has renewed
measures to combat submarines. This
leads to the belief among officials
that the submarine campaign is
fzzling, as the number of victims is
decreasing.
