Hand Writing Experts Declare
Name on Hotel Register
Was Written Fluently
GUNNER TRIAL LIKELY
TO LAST ANOTHER WEEK
Yesterdays Testimony Caused
Few Thrills Following
Previous Sensations

Valley City, N. D., Feb. 10.-Jur-
ors in the William GUNNER case are
developing into hand writing experts.
c.. NJ. Langon, head of the Bismarck
Business college, late yesterday aft
ernoon completed the third lengthy
technical blackboard talk, which had
for it's purpose the determining Of
who wrote the name james Farrell
on the hotel register on the night Of
June Z.
P. Cation declared Andy Brown.
chum of William GUNNER, defendant
in the murder case, wrote the name.
Mr.. Langon and F. L. Watkins pos
itively declared Brown could not have
written the namel
No matter how one strives to dis
guise his writing some characteristics
will reveal him. Disguised writing
is cramped, whereas "James Farrell,
Wilmar, Minnesota" on the hotel
register is fluent. A more fluent
hand, he said, than Brown was ca
pable Of writing.
Attorney Barnett states that after
the experts are disposed of the evil
dence will be completed in a day. 1t
it likely the case will be carried we'll
into next week.
Yesterdays testimony, following
the sensations of the day previous,
furnished the court with no. thrills.

BEmIDjI GIANTS READY
TO TACKLE CR0OKST0N
Fast Team From Northwestern
City to Play on Bemidji
Floor Saturday Night

The Bemidji Giants are "ready to
Co." Crookston has twice defeated
q Beridji city team this season and
the local squad is anxious to chalk
up at least one victory over the
Polk county squad before the season
closes. The first defeat handed Be-
midi by the Crookston city team
came in the first meeting on the Be-
midi armory floor. The second de-
feat came recently at Crookston. This
third meeting promises to result in
"a muck better game than either OF
the other games and local fans look
for a Bcmidji victory in close and
hard-fought game from start to fin
ish.
Crookstn will run up against an
entirely different team from that
which represented this city before.
The personnel is practically the same
as for the last game with that city
but the playing is decidedly improv-
led. Bemidji now boasts one Of the
best and cleverest city teams in the
history Of the city and this team
is to meet the Crookston city team
at the new armory. again tomorrow
night at 8 o'clock in, what promises
TO-, be the best game Of the entire
season. - =,
While the Bemidji team has been
improving rapidly. Crookston has not
been idle. Defeating the best teams
which that section of the state boasts
and knocking the pins from under a
large number Of, teams on tour from
other sections Of the state, the Polk
county quint established an enviable
record, Among it's victories is a re-
cent game with Thief River Falls,
which went to Crookston by scort
Of 16 to ID.
The Bemidji squad now challenges
any basketball team in the state and
those fans who witnessed the game
with Thief River Falls at the new
armory Wednesday night, are fully
aware Of the fact that the Bemidji
squad has just grounds for such a
challenge.
The same lineup will be available
for tomorrow nights game as repre-
scented the Giants Wednesday night
and an even better game than that
one is looked for. Two games have
been scheduled with the Superior
American Legion team, which is to

CARR TO DEFEND TITLE
i. CLAIM SATURDAY NIGHT
L. C.. Curtis of This City Will
Attempt to Wrestle Cars
Claims From Him

Bemidji wrestling fans will have
an opportunity Saturday evening to
see L. C.. Curtis of this city in action
against Joe Carr, of Minneapolis,
claimant of the middleweight wrest-
ling championship of the world This
match will be for the best two out of
three falls; and fans are assured the
best efforts which these two mat
artists possess. Carr has his claim to
defend and Curtis will extend HIM
self in an effort to wrest this claim
from the Minneapolis wrestler.
Carr bases his claim on the fact
that Johnny Meyers, who defeated
him recently at MINNEAPOLIS, is over
weight and as such is. classed as
light heavyweight. Although there
are at present, several claimants of
the niddleweight title, Carr appears
to have a very just claim. At any
rate, he is considered among the top
notchers in the game by even the
other claimants. "A Curtis victory:
will mean much to the Bemidji art.

best, middleweights in the game.
Carr holds victories over Walter!
Miller, Henry Karhunssaari, Waino

other prominent wTestlers. ? Curtis

ltern1ined to make his: bout with Carr

game for the past Is years: Among
Curtis victories; are matches with
John Albrecht Of Minneapolis, Jack
Milo, Bud Frisk, also Of Minneapolis,
and numerous other bouts with men
of equal and higher calibre. Curtis
drew with Karhunsaari; at Brainerd
Jan. 81 when Karhunsaari~ fouled
him, according to the decision Of the
lreferee. Ralph Parcaut of Royal,
Iowa, knew that he had been through
one of his hardest matches when he
finished with Curtis here last season.
Parcaut, then considered the middle
weight champion, publicly admitted
that Curtis was one of the hardest
wrestlers he had ever met.
