The Bemidji daily pioneer., 1917-04-16

The following item from the Brain
erd Dispatch will be of interest to
Bemidji people, as FATTY" Wood is
known to a number of people in this
city: "Tom Wood, known as Fatty,
just budding into manhood and
weighing over 600 pounds, left to-
day for Chicago where the Mutual
Film people will give him a tryout.
There is no doubt that when Fatty
plays heavy lead and takes the CEN
ter of the picture, precious little
space will be left for the scenery.
Mr.. Wood is Brainerd's best known
citizen and at the st. Paul winter
carnival attracted wide attention as
king of the Brainerd Northern Pa
cific marching club of 600 MEMBERS
He has figured in local movies, has
a fair voice and has sung in many
performances here, at Crosby and St.
Paul and Minneapolis. All that Mr..
Wood needs is half chance and he
will make g. hit"
Mr.. and Mrs. F. A. Dare and chill
dren arrived in Walker the latter
part of last week from St. Paul where
they had been residing this winter
while Farley was looking after his
duties in the state legislature. We
are sorry to learn that Mr.. Dare has
been having serious trouble with his
health and has been forced recently
to undergo an operation at the Mayo
Bros. hospital in Rochester for the
removal of an abscess on the bone
of his forehead. He has been ex-
cused from the legislature and is now
at the Walker hospital recovering
from the operation and must remain
absolutely quiet there in order to IA
cilitate his convalescence. - Cass
