H to serve under Capt. Jack Murphy. Whenever there: is a s of ‘powder smoke, “Bill's” nose be gins to pucker, He's a genuine war hound. Francesco Madero, who for a very short time was actual president of Mexico, called on “Bill” Severin when he wanted a good gunner, and the Jamestown man served a year under the aristocratic ruler, receiving for his services $1,800 real American dol- lars. He left Madero at Aqua Pulea, in 1914, and a few months later found him serving in a similar capacity with General Oruska, Then Uncle Sam became interested, and Severin hiked back across the border, and the summer of 1916 saw him on the American side with old Co. H. When the troops returned last winter Sev- erin remained ibehind at Brownsville, Tex,, and he got back to God’s coun- try only last week.

Said butcher, it seems, indis- creetly remarked to some _ bel- ligerent patriots who were discussing the war with him that “if the Yan- kees didn’t shut up he would have to ‘dope their sausage.” He may not have said just that, and probably did not mean it if he did say it, but his friends persuaded him it would ‘be best for all concerned for him to get out of business, and the establish- ment now ‘appears under new man- ‘agement and with a complete “All- American” ’staff of employes. ) GRAIN MARKETS o—__-—____.________—6 MINNEAPOLIS. ‘No. 1 Hard .. 256% @260%4 No. 1 ‘Northern . 24614 @251% ‘No, 1 ‘Northern Choice: 254% @258% “Regular- to arr..... 240% Choice to arr... 254%, 2 Northern . 242% W252 . 3 Wheat .. 23244 @244%4 0. 2 Mont.
