K. Rank of Shevlin. Rev. Sorenson officiated at the church and at the grave. The remaids arrived here Friday morning under the militay escort of |® Private King, of the U. S. army, and were met by a delegation of boyhood friends and service men. Service men accompanied the body to the Synod church where it was kept until the funeral. Arne Rauk left Bagley on June 28th, 1918, to lend.his services to his country. Fe was assigned to the 331st field artillery, Battery D, in which division he remained thruout his service. After completing his training he was ordered overseas with his detachment. Shortly after he became ill with pneumonia, dying five days after arriving. Burial was made in Liverpool and only recently were the remains disinterred and pre- pared for shipment to Shevlin. High- ly esteemed by all who knew him, news of his death came as a shock to the entire community. In connection with the services Saturday afternoon the following boyhood friends and service men act- ed as pall bearérs: Harry Gordon, Lloyd Foster, Fred Steimpges, Ches- ter Burfield and Alf Rain. Another group of service men acted as a fir- ing squad in final tribute at the grave. The state’s case received a setback when J. N. Nystrom, after testifying that ' Stephenson had been the first man to enter the dodrs of headquar- ters station after the police were overpowered, was unable to identify the defendant. The trial of William Rozon, charged with instigating a riot, began also. When the jury in Judge H. A. Dancer’s court room was completed after the examination of twenty-four men, twelve of whom were rejected, Sergeant Oscar Olson of the Duluth police force was the first witness called. He was still on the stand when court adjourned at 5 o’clock. Judge W. A. Cant’s court yesterday adjourned without completing a jury for the trial of Leonard Sheldon, charged with instigating a riot.

White, unperturbed by the heat of his questioners, replied to all of the queries that he believed firmly in Cox’s ability to prove all his charges, but said Governor Cox and he alone has the evidences. “I have no evi- dence,” White said, “but I have the fullest confidence in Cox.” !
