The half-mile track at the fair
grounds is in the best condition that
it ever was. The track was rolled
and dragged before the recent ram,
which was just what the ground
needed and the course is now as
smooth as a board and lightening
fast.
William Begsley, secretary of the
Bemidji Jockey Club, has recieved
entries from twenty horses, who will
participate in the races.
In the 3 00 class, trot or pace,

class.
In the 2.22 class, the second event

In addition to the regular harness
races there will be a special race
which will be a novelty. The fast
pacing pole team belonging to A.
J. Rolland of Moorhead will be pitted
against "Bemidji Belle," the speedy
little local pacer, in matched races
The team owned by Rolland is the
fastest pole team in the state of
Minnesota and the owner has won a
lot of money with his team. The
horses will be hitched to a light
racing wagon, while "Bemidji Belle'
will be driven to a racing bike. This
race will be exciting, as "Bemidji
Belle" is reeling off miles close to
the 2 20 mark, these days.

Continued from First Page
I refer to an article in the St.
Paul Daily News saying that Be
midji was no nice place for nolding
the convention.f^On behalf of every
Elk now assembled in Bemidji and
of every Elk in the state, I want to
emphatically refute such charges as
are made by the News."
There were many cries of "You
bet," "Hurrah for Bemidji," etc.
In conclusion President Pease
importuned every Elk to be present
at the meeting of the State Associa
tion to be held at 1 30 p. m.
There were loud cries for the
Elks quartette of Crookston and
finally Messrs. Krouse, Touton,
Wessell and Hitchcock came to the
front and responded with "Harrigan,
That's Me." They were cheered to
the echo and finally sang "Tele
phone Up There." The crowd did
not cease calling for them until they
rendered another selection.
The convention was called to
order about 2 o'clock this afternoon.
A full account of the convention
will be given in tomorrow's paper.
Welcomed Hibbmg "Bunch."'
A large crowd of people met the
Hibbing delegation of Elks at the
Great Northern depot yesterday
afternoon. Mayoi Pogue was at the
train to welcome the visitors and
rode in a decorated single-seated
buggy drawn by a fine team of
high-stepping horses. The buggy
was covered by a purple and white
colored canopy top, on the front of
which was the inscription, "Mayor
Pogue, Welcome Elks." The Crooks
ton band and the leception com
mittee were present and gave the
visitors a royal welcome and es
corted the aew arrivals around the
city.

Doings Among iheAntiered
Brethren in Our City.
A. C. Schmidt, "Old Spoon Bill,"
of Crookston came in with the
Crookston herd last night and is
browsing aiound the streets.
C. R. Middleton, the Spooner
attorney, is among the visiting
brethren who is in the midst of the
"swim," here. C. R. has a host of
friends in the north countiy.

has been here (every bit of him) all
day, stirring up things. Jim is one
the very best Elks in the state
and he has a host of friends among
the Bemidji bunch.
A fine bunch of Little Falls Elks,
whose borns are "in the ^lvet,"
during this summer weather, arrived
in the city last evening and proceed
ed to get into the "Pasture" with
the "browsers." They are a warm
bunch and not taking a back seat
for any of the Elks from any other
delegation.
J. S. Scribner, he of the ball pate
and the seven-day-advantist look,
arrived in the city last evening
from Walker for the purpose of
mixing in the fray here. "Scrib
is county attorney of Cass county Parfcy
and an enthusiastic Elk, and it is
said several of the brethren have
retained him as their council in the
Kangaroo court.
The Hibbing delegation of Elks,
headed by T. J. Godfrey, their ex
alted ruler, and George A. Markham
as "co-booster," arrived in the city
yesterday afternoon, forty strong,
and armed with the healthy deter
mination to secure the 1909 conven
tion. With the great mining in
dustry on the range as a special
feature of the visit to Hibbing, the
delegates took very/kindly to the in
vitation to visit the range town next
year. And besides they're a "durnd"
good bunch and with their elegant
baseball team made a very favorable
impression upon the visiting Elks.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Ives of St.
Hilaire are among the Elks who
have been enjoying the convention
and reunion. Mr. Ives is one of
the most populars members of the
antlered bunch, from "down Crooks
ton way," and in his day he could
hold his own with any of the
"browsers.Ig. We are not very well
acquainted "with Mrs. Ives but we
can assure the lady that Harry's
rep with the Elks is that of being a
"steer," and if things go right he
is liable to give the whole bunch a
whirl before he leaves. Mr. Ives is

Mahara's mastodon minstrels, with
their splendid concert band and fine
bunch of colored folks, gave an
elegant performance in the opera
house last evening before a large
and appreciative audience.
During the day the splendid
Mahara Minstrel band, under the
leadership of Quah Clark, appeared
on the streets and captured every
body with their excellent music.
They have a high grade of music
and there are several solos of merit
in the band.
The minstrel performance in the
opera house was very much better
than the average entertainments
given by the traveling minstrel
troupes who make Bemidji. The en
semble singing was of a very high
order.
There are nine ladies in the bunch
of merry makers and with the ele

W. W. Koons, exalted rulei of St.
Cloud lodget,htrained up a serenade
afte
night and made the "welkin ring" in
different parts of the city. Mr.
Koons got a hold of the minstrel
quartette and dug up his party in
short order. They went as far as
the home of W. H. Vye, a former
resident of St. Cloud and the crowd
certainly had a jolly time. Mr.
Koons was ably assisted by H. A.
McKenzie, Fred Pi ice, Joseph
Hilbie, P. A. Martin, "Bill" Ander
son and "Bill" Richards, all of St.
Cloud, all of whom were accompan
ied by their wives and Mr. and Mrs.
Richard's daughter. A conspicuous
member of the party was Dr. Bryant
and his wife of St. Paul, who entered
into the zest of the serenade with
proper Elk spirit. W. W. Koons
and the "coons" certainly had a
good time.
Arrested on Suspicion.
Jesse Harry of Grand Rapids,
deputy sheriff of Itasca county,
passed through the city this noon
on his way home from Fergus
Falls where he arrested a man by
the name of Reynolds on the
charge of robbing a store and
post office at Ball Club, Mr.
Harry had Reynolds in custody
while passing through here, and
took him to the county jail at
Grand Rapids.

Hughes, the combined vocal and

Solan Edwards, the fine interlocu
tor, oosesses a deep bass voice that
is in the "cellar," so to speak, as
compared to other first floor bass
voices. He has a voice of great
volume and stiength and his singing
is. wonderful.
Harry L. Gilhan, who has been
with the Mahara's for many years,
is just as good as ever. He sang
some very clever songs and his
"mugging" and general all-around
good work, entitles him to a place
in the front ranks of minstrels in
the country.
Ed Frv does a Zulu act which he
is highly artistic and very clever.

Bemidji Elks vs.
Special Grand Jury at Grand Rapids.
Grand Rapids, June 19.(Special
to Pioneer.)The first special grand
jury ever summoned in Itasca
county began its sessions yesterday
morning. The jurors were all of
them brought in under a special
order made by Judge McClenaban
in view of the developments which
occurred yesterday in the case of
State vs Boindich.
It appeared during the examina
tion of jurors and after four men
had been sworn on the case that the
indictment which had been returned,
charged the commission of the
offence as having taken place on
September 1, 1908. This presented
so serious a question that County
Attorney Thwing relunctantly came
to the conclusion that the indictment
was defective, and so this morning
dismissed the case.
Biondich will probably be re-in
dicted as soon as the witnesses can
be heard by the grand jury. He
has friends who are assisting him and
the case will be stubbornly contest
ed.
Peculiar interest has been aroused
over the prosecution, by reason of
the fact that the alleged crime took
place at Nashwauk about the time
of the miners strike last summer.
The defendant was charged with
arson in having set fire to a boarding
house occupied by some of the men
working at the La Rue or Hawkins
mine. The witnesses include some
of the mining company officials
The latter have been anxious, it is
understood, to have the case against
Biondich, pushed ajs hard as circum-
stances permitted.
Under the law Biondich is entitled
to five days for preparation of his
defence and in the event that he is
reindicted, will probaply claim this
time. It is feared that this will pro
bably delay the work of the term
somewhat, as at the presenc time
there is no othei criminal case
ready for trial. The witnesses in
the Biondich case will ^probob'y be
held until the case is reached on the
cale.nder, if another indictment is
returned.
