GIBBONS BESTS MURRAY.

Ringside, Hudson, Wis, Feb. g.
By Tim Sullivan, written for the
United Press: Tommy Gibbons of St.
Paul, added another scalp to his belt
last night when he won newspaper
decision over Billy Murray, of San
Francisco, in ten-round bout at the
arena here Gibbons clearly out
classed Murray in all but three
rounds. 1t was a fast fight. From
gong to gong the two stood up and
did their best In the last round
Murray seemed tired and his blows
lacked steam, but he was game and
the fight ended in fairly fast round.
1t seemed certain, however, that Glib
bons would have put his man away
had theft fight gone much further.

MuRpHY:DICAIRE.

A pretty wedding was solemnized
in st. Philips Catholic church at 9
O'Clock this morning when Miss Clara
Dicaire, daughter, of Mr.. and Mrs. P.
a.. Dicaire Of this city, became the
bride 81 Il. murphy, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. NJ: F. Murphy of Grand Forks,
Rev. Father John =. T. Philippe Off
ciating.
The bride wore blue travelling
suit, trimmed in white, while the
maid of honor, Miss Margaret Muir
ply, a sister of the groom, was dress
ed in a white suit, trimmed with fitch
fur. Both carried corsage bouquets
of sweet peas. The groom was at
tended by Marcus Dicaire, brother
of the bride. The altar of the
church was beautifully decorated
with roses and other flowers.
Immediately following the cere-
mony the bridal party partook of a
wedding breakfast at the Dicaire
home, which had been deliberately
decorated for the occasion.
Since childhood the home of the
bride has been in Bemidji and until
several years ago, when she went to
Grand Forks to accept a responsible
position with, the Red River Valley
Power company, attended school
here, always being one of the most
popular members of the younger set.
L. F. Murphy, the groom, is mem
Der of one of the most prominent
Grand Forks families, being son of
M. F. Murphy, for many years mayor
of the North Dakota city and one OF
the states most influential business
men. The young man is in business

A large number of Grand Forks

wedding. Among those present
were Mr.. and Mrs. Murphy, the

TEAMS AND MEN NEEDED
Red River Lumber Company Not Able
to Secure Necessary Labor.

That there is work for everybody
was again evidenced today when it
became known that the Red River
Lumber company is having much
difficulty in securing men and teams
for timber cutting and clearing near
Grand Rapids "Thirty farmers
teams, with sleds, and rs men are
needed at once,'' said j. J. Opsahl, the
agent Of the company here, "and it
seems almost impossible to secure Ia
Dor. We plan to cut what timber
there is on a larg tract of land north
of Grand Rapirs, running from ten
miles east of Coleraine to south of
Remer, and to clear it for the clover
seed. The work must be done before
mild weather comes" Labor is
needed in other places also.

WAS BRILLIANT LECTURE
Thomas Brooks Fletcher Thrilled
Large Audience in "The Martyr
dom Of Fools" Last Evening.
MAGNETIC PERSONALITY FELT

It is doubtful is there is one per-
son in Bemidji who heard Thomas
Brooks Fletcher's lecture, "The Mar
tyrdom of Fools" at the Methodist
church auditorium last evening, who
will not proclaim him the equal of the
most brilliant speakers on the Amer
lean platform.
AS expected, Fletcher's audience
found him filled to the brim with
physical and mental energy, and as
he dashed forward upon his introduce
ton and plunged eagerly, almost flu
riously, into his subject, his mag
netic personality was felt by each Of
his listeners. He proved himself a
master of every phase of dramatic art,
a graceful Delsartean one moment, a
thunderbolt hurting giant, the next,
combining impassioned oratory with
the calm reasoning of a judge.
Fletcher demonstrated his wonder
full ability to handle language, whe-
Their it be biting sarcasm, scathing
condemnation, tender pleading or
strong exhortation. He seemed to pos
sess but one idea: to startle, to
awaken, and then to burn into the
soul of his hearers, moral convictions
of matters political, social and re-
igious, and gained his purpose by
combining his great power in Ian
guage and dramatic art. = /. E.. ~. =
His straight from the shoulder
style Of dealing with modern 7condi-
tions, his honest sincerity, his power
full convictions, his contempt for any
attempt to sugar-coat injustice, wins
for him the admiration of his audi
ence; for the world admires fighter
and passionately loves him if his
cause is just.
The Woman's Study club has often
been praised for it's enterprise in
bringing entertainers of the Redpath
Lyceum bureau to Bemidji and every
bit of commentator is honestly de-
served, the appearance of Fletcher be-
ing just another evidence of the sue
cess of it's plan. f.:
