TAXPAYERS FOOT BILLS
FOR TRANSIENT SICK,
WILL BE INVESTIGATED

The city council lis going to go
after q certain feature that seems
apreHsfant- In the city and that is the
paying bills incurred by caring for
enormous expense to the taxpayers +
transients who come to Bemidji all
ing, many OF them dying and buried
at the expense of the city tax payers.
7 At the meeting OF. the council Tues
day night one case was brought to
light, llat OF baby who came here
with it's parents from Margie. The
parents were i'll and both died. The
babe 1t Is said, was taken to the
poor house, where it was sick and
was ordered into the custody OF a
nures. The nurse sent in bill for
$1S5 which the city paid. The babe
is still in charge of the nurse and
the president of the city council was
instructed to see where Bemidji is
responsible for such expense of keep
ing the baby, and what can be done
to place the youngster in some state
institution. ..
. Another thing along this line Is
the sending to Bemidji of people who
are sick and the city has been footing
big bills as result In some in
stances the tax payers of this city
have paid the funeral expenses and
this also is going to be probed.
According to discussion for some
time this practice has been in vogue
in Bemidji and has cost the taxpayers
several thousands of dollars, and the
time is near when some one is going
to speak out loud, unless it Is reme-
died, it is asserted.

FEDERAL SET PRICES

Washington, Feb. 5.--A govern
ment operated monopoly of the meat
industry was advocated by livestock
producers before the senate agricul-
ture committee and the house inter-
state committee as the only means
of satisfying both the producer and
the consumer and preventing the
cattle business from being destroyed.
George Armstrong, cattle man Of

He said both producers and corlsnrl-

present system and that only govern

BREAKS Of GAME
WITH Oilers, WHO
DEFEAT ON AHA
Hits Are Equally Divided as
to Number, But Locals
Get More Extra
Base CI0utS.

All the breaks of the game were
with Tulsa yesterday afternoon and
the Oilers captured the long end OF
a to | score against the Rourkes.
The actual number OF hits were
equally divided, each club getting
seven and the Omaha batters get
ting more extra base clouts than
the visitors, Graham and Spellman
each doubled up in doubles and
Tierney, Diltz and Wuffli each man
aged to get a two-base clout.
The Omaha lineup was pretty we'll
shot up. Right Fielder Graham play
ing Manager Jackson's position at
first base. Jackson was forced to
lay off because of milk leg"
Whitley" Gislason was on hand and
ready to play, but in practice, ball
bounding bad. struck him on the
finger and split it. He was unable
to get in the game until the ninth
frame, when he batted for Fuhr and
made a neat single.
With Graham, an outhelder, on
first, Pat Mason played second base
and pitcher Shnkle took right field.
1t was far from an imposing lineup,
but under the circumstances they
played a good game. With some
practice at these strange positions
the players located as they were
yesterday, would make it real inter
esting for any club in the league
The batting order brought the best
hitters UP at the right time and only
sensational fielding on the part of
the Tulsa players prevented them
pi!ing up heavy score.
Outfielder Diltz. in LETT garden,
played a star game for the visitors.
He made sensational catch of Ed
die Hazen's line drive to right CEN
ter, coming in at full tilt and catch
ing the ball in a STOPPING position,
off his shoe tops.
Neither club scored for four full
innings, but in the first half of the
fifth, Tulsa garnered one, on two
errors and sacrifice, without hit
Hemingway booted the first one,
Burks grounder that took a bad
hop and bounded out of Eds glove.
Wuffli sacrificed him to second and
he scored when Graham bobbled
Barbeau's throw to first ON Diltz's
grounder. Diltz was caught at sec
ond in a fast double play, catching
Slattery at first, also.
In the seventh, Omaha took the
lead, making two runs on an error
by Cleveland, Spellman's second
double. Hazen's sacrifice and singles
by Barbeau and Graham. These
were the only runs that Omaha
counted, but in the eighth, Tulsa
grabbed three on two hits, one of
them Diltz's two-bagger, two walks,
Graham's error and Manion's sac
rihce. Lefty Fuhr relieved Kopp
on the mound in this frame and
famed Shackleford and Burk, the
only two batters to face him.
