A mystery of the presence of
pounded glass in the well at the resi-
dence of Mrs. :, Emma Collard, 1913
America avenue, aroused the neigh
borhood in that locality today when
w. A. Dehart, a neighbor, pumped
out a myriad of small pieces Of glass
from the water supply Of three
families.
Mr.. Dehart brought several pieces
of the glass to the Pioneer office this
morning. There were scores Of them,
ranging from about the size of half
pea to particles the size of the
head Of pin.

similar nature and the belief is that
the pounded glass was inserted in
the top of the pump, which oper-
ates a driven we'll. About half
teacup full of the glass was pumped
from the we'll this morning.
Z The we'll is used by Mrs. Collard,
Ben Lundgren, who rents an adjoin-
ing house from Mrs. Collard, and
Mr.. Dehart, also a neighbor. Mr..
Dehart is of the belief some one at
tempted to kill those who use the

to look to their pumps. There are
some who seem to think 1t was the
work of children. At any rate 1t
was a narrow escape for these who
use the well for drinking purposes.

.BEMIDJI HIGH QuINT
CLEANS HOUSE WITH

Bemidji's high school basketball
team sprung decided surprise last
evening when it defeated the Aitkin
five by a score of st to s. A close
game had been expected as Aitkin
had several veterans in its lineup
while Bemidji has q team this year
composed entirely of new men, none
OF whom had played regularly before.
The squad has been practicing hard
during the past couple of weeks un-
der the. direction of Coach Jacobson,
former big Behidg" and Carleton
college star; and the results have
been very gratifying. ss
i From the first minute of play last
evening 1t was plainly apparent that
5Aitkin was outclassed in every de-
partment Of the game and the size
Of the score was only q matter OF
opinion. ss5 S,<ss'."S ,'-'- =
?. For Bemidji, Fred Phibbs was the
star, scoring ~ field baskets, five
in the first half and seven in the
second. He also shot six fouls, max
ing 2S points secured by this stellar
player, half of the points made by
the team. At the other forward po-
sition was Achenbach, who also
played an especially brilliant game,
his floorwork being q feature. He
also shot three baskets. Simons at
center and Opsahl and Tennstrom at
guards performed in regular "Be-
mtdg" style, the latter securing six
baskets, some being from very diff
cult angles.
Next Friday evening, Jan. rs, Be-
midi will play the Grand Rapids
uuint here and this should be one
Of the best games of the season as
Bemidji and Grand Rapids are bitter
rivals in athletics. Both teams are
runners-up for the championship in
their respective districts.
The attendance at the games thus
far this season has been very unsat-
isfactory and unless bette: support
Is given the team there is much dan

people do not attend the games this
year because they are under the i'm
preston that Bemidji hasn't much
Of a team. This is not so. Bemidji
this year has one of the fastest teams
that ever-represented the Bemidji in
