JUDGE GIBBONS
FIRST MARRIAGE RITE

Judge Gibbons performed his first
marriage ceremony this morning in
his court when Paul Levern Vaneps
of Grand Rapids and Miss Matte Pres
colt of Beltrami county were made
husband and wife,
The judge was a trifle nervous at
the outset but soon retained his COM
posure and when he had pronounced
the final words he had cemented the
martial tie as securely as if under
more pretentious auspices The wit
nesses to this momentous step in the
lives of the principals were Municipal
Court Clerk Fenton and the editor
of the Pioneer.
Mr.. Vaneps is proprietor of a liv-
cry in Grand Rapids and it was his
second venture on the matrimonial
sea, his first wife being dead.

ial chance and when the January
