McGlRREN
WINS MAI OH
DEFEATS THE GREEK PROFES
SIONAL AT OPERA HOUSE
MONDAY EVENING.
The principal event in Devils Lake
July Fourth was the wrestling match
between P. H. McGurren of Crary, and
Prokas the Greek professional wrestl
er. These two gentlemen wrestled
befofe a large crowd at the Opera
House some weeks ago at which time
It was a handicap match, McGurren
endeavoring to .throw the Greek twice
In an hour. He got one fall but could
not put the Greek on the mat a second
time and so lost the match. At that
time McGurren challenged Prokas for
another match without a handicap,
which was accepted and the event was
pulled off Monday night This event
was to be two falls out of three and
McGurren won.
After 23 minutes of hard wrestling
McGurren got the first fall.
By the famous Gotch toe hold Prok
as secured the second fall.
About twenty minutes more work
gave McGurren the third fall and the
winner of the contest
It has been announced that McGur
ren would wrestle Clayton the cham
pion 150 pound wrestler of America
on Friday evening, July 8th. This
event will occur this evening.
OCALLAGHANS AT
CHAUTAUQUA
TENTH APPEARANCE IS MADE
'MID DIFFICULTIES TO LRGE
CROWD.
Monday evening, July Fourth, the
local dramatic company, the O'Callag
hans made their tenth annual appear
ance at Chautauqua before one of the
largest crowds that ever attended an
entertainment in the great auditorium.
Every seat was taken and In the aisles
chairs were placed to accomodate the
overflow and In addition to this many
people were standing in the rear.
The play, known as "The Settle
ment" was a pleasing four act piece,
a very difficult one to produce, but the
presentation was more like a profes
sional than an amateur one, according
to the opinion of the five thousand peo
ple who were entertained for two and
one half hours, and the actors received
many compliments for their excellent
work, but people have grown to expect
so much from this company that un
less they give a better production than
the professionals that come this way,
little notice is taken of their efforts.
This year their entertainment was
especially successful in view of the
fact that they had to entertain a
Fourth of July crowd. Outside as
many people as were in the large audi
torium were busy shooting off fire
crackers a foot long, and other fire
works kept the intervals between the
explosions of the crackers, busy with
screeches, screams and sizzles and if
by chance there happened to be an in
stant that connections outside were
missed there was sure to be steen
babies crying and numerous people
who had seen the play "up town" tell
ing their neighbors what was going to
happen next. Against this combina
tion of circumstances in front and out
side the players had to fight. It was
also thundering and lightening during
the greater part of the play. Besides
the company, in order to give Mr. No
lan sufficient time for his lecture, in
stead of taking advantage of their
privilege to start the piece at eight
waited until half past eight before
they started. This made the piece run
quite late, but it accomodated Mr. No
lan.
Back of the curtain trouble with the
scenery made a "wait" that was un
avoidable and those of the audience
who were good enough to realize all
of the conditions stated feel that the
production was remarkable in every
way and that Devils Lake has an
amateur company not equalled by any
In the northwest, and that "The Settle,
ment" was the bets play that has been
seen here all season.

Sunday brought the largest crowd
gathered so far this season at the
Chautauqua. While the crowd was
large everything was quiet and digni
fied and in keeping with the day. Relig
ious services were held in the audi
torium in the morning-by Dr. Hindley
leading and the band and Princess
•quartette to render sacred music. In
the afternoon Ex-Governor Yates of
Illinois spoke on "Government." Gov

dramatic at times and quite fearless
in his utterances.
The national celebration day was
fittingly observed at the Chautauqua.
The trains and auto service brought
big loads all day and evening a big
crowd of celebrants had gathered.
General Hilbreth of Fargo gave the
patriotic address of the day, in the
auditorium in the afternoon and was
listened to by a large audience. In the
evening the O'Callaghans held forth in
their play, and had a large audience
which was well pleased. At 4 o'clock
the baseball game between York and
Devils Lake was the leading attrac
tion. The W. C. T. U. ladies made the
Fourth the children's rally day and
held exercises under the direction of
Miss Estehr Thomas and Miss Hol
brook.
The interest of the day's program
on Tuesday was added to in the after
noon by the first appearance of the
Minnnesota Ladies quartette and in
the evening by W. I. Nolan the Min
neapolis humorist The Ladles quart
ette has been heard here before and
the ladies found many friends to wel
come them. Mr. Nolan Is always a
favorite with the Chautauqua audi
ences.
Wednesday was the principal day of
the season at W. C. T. TJ. headquarters
and a big rally took place with Mrs.
Florence Ewell Atkins, the noted tem
perance lecturer as a distinguished
guest It was through the efforts of
Mrs. Atkins that Tennessee, one of the
oldest states, came Into the prohibi
tion circle a year or two ago.
BASE BALL
DEVILS LAKE SEEM8 TO BE PLAY
ING AGAINST HARD LUCK
THE PAST WEEK.
Devils Lake's team seems to have
lost their rabbit's foot and found a
hoodoo, as they have only been able
to win one game the past week. True
they have been going up against some
of the best of them, but their losses, In
several instances at least, were due
to errors at critical times. Probably
the hardest proposition that they have
had to meet during the week was the
Colored Gophers, of St. Paul and one
of the games with them was lost by
errors in left field, the score standing
2 to 4 at the end of the game. In
thio game the left fielder lost three out
of four flies knocked to him, and In
two cases let in runs by the muff. The
other teams met during the past week
were Brinsmade and York, two of the
fastest teams in the state. The re
sults were as follows:
Thursday Brinsmade 5, Devils Lake
4, in a ten-inning game.
Friday afternoon Gophers 7, Devils
Lake 0.
Friday evening Gophers 4, Devils
Lake 2.
Saturday afternoon Devils Lake 5,
Hampden 4.
Sunday afternoon York 5, Devils

Monday afternoon York 7, Devils

Tuesday afternoon York 4, Devils

Miss Winnie Bucklln left last week
for her home in Redfield, S. D., where
she will spend a month's vacation be
fore entering on another year's work
as library organizer. The library board
of Devils Lake feel that they were
fortunate in securing Misa Bucklin's
services as organizer of our library.
Thoroughly business-like In all her
transactions, courteous and well
informed, she made the welfare of
the library one of her personal inter
ests and the good results of her work
are evident In a few statistics given
below:
Miss Anna Sprung who has been
elected to the position of librarian for
the cpmlng year is at present attend
ing the summer school of the Unlver
sity of Minnesota, taking a course in
library training.' That she is making
the most of all that offers Is to be
inferred from her letters telling of
hours spent In various libraries in the
Twin Cities" where the highest effici
ency has been acquired and of visits
to the publishing houses that fill west
ern orders,—-such as the St Paid Book
and Stationery Co.
Until August 1st Mrs. Rhuberg and
Miss Brennan have been delegated to
attend to the library.
The library is in receipt of some
valuable and interesting reference
books donated by Rev. Mr. Clatten
berg. Notable among them are Spof
ford's Library of Choice Literature and
Ackerman's Repository, the latter a
quaint little book of costume plates of
the eighteenth century.
Readers interested In French drama
will be glad to see our shelves several
will be glad to see on our shelves sev
eral classics recently donated by Mrs.
A. O. Whipple, Including Raclnes "Es
ther," Cornellle's "Le Cid," and "Le
Tartuffe," "Le Misanthrope" and "Les
Precieuses Ridicules" by Moliere.
"The Reader's Guide" will help you
locate articles in current or back-num
ber magazines. Ask the librarian for it
if you are doing reference work on
live topics.
This week's issue of "Automobile
Topics" contains some pertinent editor
Has on how to use the brakes. A little
account of how Dr. H. Grace of the
Camden Motor Club in New Jersey
helped make the speed laws satisfac
tory to the people is worth reading.
By the way, why doesn't some Devils
Laker who keeps a garage send In
some Items to "Automobile Topics" for
Its department of Industrial and Trade
News? The address is 103 Park Ave.,
