HUGO RENDEN IS DEAD FOLLOWING SHORT ILLNESS Popular National Guard Officer Who Served Two Years in France Called BOOMED FOR HIGH OFFICE ‘Mandan, N. D., Aug. 23.—Capt. Hugo Renden, one of the best known and most liked officers of the North Da- kota national guard, a veteran of the Mexican border campaign of 1916-17 and of two years’ service in France and commander of Gilbert Furniss post, American Legion died this morn- ing from acute Bright’s disease which developed less than a week ago. Capt. Renden had been ill altogether not more than two weeks, and it was only within the last few days that his sick- ness took a serious turn. The deceased was born in Waynes- boro, Minn., about 30 years ago. AS a child he came to Bismarck with his parents, and he lived in the capital city for fifteen years before taking up his home in Mandan. He was second lieutenant in Co. F, the Mandan unit of the old Fighting First, when that regiment was called to the Mexican border. Before Co. F was again mus- tered into federal service prior to em- ‘barking for France, Renden was commissioned a first lieutenant, and Capt. ‘Renden returned from almost two years’ service in the world’s war at the head of his company. It was said of Capt. Renden that he had no enemies, in military or civil life. As an army man he was loved by fellow officers and men alike. He had a wonderful personality which his friends believe would have carried him far on the road to success. Upon his return from France a few weeks ago, he entered into a partnership with Ed Tobin, late of the coast artil-; lery, and they purchased the fine con- fectionery business of the Hudson store, with which they were prosper-| ing. Capt. Renden was being boom- ed as the first state commander of the American legion, and his friends are confident he would have landed. There survive the deceased his young widow; his parents, G. A. Ren- den, manager of the Mandan Electric Co. and Mrs. Renden, and three broth- ers and a_ sister, Walter G., Ruth, Robert and Arnold. Legion to Honor Dead. In respect to the memory of their fallen comtade, Lieutenant Hugo Ren- den, commander of the Mandan post of the American Legion, the members of Loyd Spetz post of the legion will attend the funeral in a body. Capt. A. A, Jones. commander. of the Bismarck post has announced that the members of the local’ post will assem- Dle in uniform at the Elks club Sun- day morning at 10 o'clock. It is re- quested that every member be present and that all wear their service uni- form, either khaki cr bine. The Bismarck members of the lé- gion will go to Mandan on Northern Pacific train No. 3, leaving \here .at 11:45 a. m. The return will be made following the services. AMERICAN RAIL WIZARDS MIRACLE TO BOLSHEVIKI Engineers Pushed Forward So Rapidly That Reds Sus- pected Supernatural Soroka, Russian Lapland, June 30., via London, July 28.—(Correspond- ence of The Associated Press)—Push- ing forward daily into territory of the bolsheviki and often under fire, the American railway troops on the Mur- man front in two months transformed 75 miles of dynamited and burned bridges and railway, wrecked and destroyed by retreating bolsheviki, into a workable railway which’ they manned, operated and maintained. To these troops the British com- mand gives much of the credit of the seventy-five mile advance toward Petrozavodsk. ,In the contingent, were 36 officers and 675 men, comprising the 167th ahd 168th companies of railway troops as a special battalion under Major EB. E. MacMoreland, Kan- Sas City, and every kind of railroader from a superintendent to a section hand. The Yanks worked so fast that the Dbolsheviki, according to prisoners taken, believed that they had miracu- lous machines for tracklaying and adjustable bridges which they drop- ped in as they went along. It was all done by a gang under Captain C. J. Jones, of Paterson, N. J., who in Alaskan and Latin-American jobs was named “Hurry-up Jones.” The men worked seventeen hours daily with the enemy right ahead and the British artillery right behind await- ing. construction. There were also battles and skirmishes in many small sidings where on everal occasions the Contructors and also the train’s crews were under fire. On May 19, while building a bridge under shrapnel fire, the Yanks were surrounded by bolsheviki skipping through the woods and dynamiting the bridges fhree versts in the rear. On the way back to repair the bridge the Yanks were again attacked at close range but managed to escape, The shop detachment, under Cap- tain C. E. MoMillan, of South Amer- ica and Panama, formerly from Oma- ha, had to tdansform junk pile equip- ment into workable rooling stock. Then the Yanks, under Captain H. G. Odell, former assistant and super- intendent at Santa Fa, built and op- erated an eight mile street railway in Murman. Under Lieutenant Chas. B. Tuttle, they operated and manned and armored train. Railroad men who formerly drew high pay in Boston. Pittsburgh, or In- diana shared in making these railway enterprises a Yankee success. FAMOUS PAINTINGS BY WHISTLER EXHIBITED London, July 28.—(Correspondence of The Associated Press)—One of Whistier’s«~mest*-famous* paintings, wAMIOSt taaee B the “Little White Girl,” {3 now on view in the National gallery to which is was presented together with two other Whistler paintings, “Cremorne Lights and the “Fire Wheel.” The “Little White Girl” was paint- ed in 1864 and g@ hibited at the Royal Academy in 1865 where it created a sensation and aroused much hostile criticism, One critic regretted that Whistler should make the “most bizarre of bipeds” out of, the women he painted. and an American critic described it as a “powerful woman with red hair and a vacant stare in her eyes.” Among the few who appreciated its charm was Swinburne who after see- ing it wrote the poem. “Before the Mirror.” The picture, for which the model “Jo” sat, shows a girl in a simple white gown leaning against the mantle, her face reflected in the mirror. “Cremorne Lights” is a nocturne in blue and silver, a twilight scene with only two tones, t#e sky and the water slightly lighter in colar, with the ghosts of buildings and the reflec- tions of the lights of the old Cre- morne Gardens. The “Fire Wheel” is a picture of a fireworks display, a nocturne in black and gold. MASS MEETING WILL PROTEST GRAIN GRADING Hillsboro, N. D., Aug. 28.—A mass weeting of farmers was Called today to be ‘held in Hillsboro at 9 o'clock next Saturday morning to formulate a protest to the U. 8. Food adminis- tration against the prices being paid for low grade wheats. Farmers insist that the prices pre- vailing on low grade wheats, of which the northwest has produced consid- erable this year, are not fair when the actual milling value of the wheat, as compared with the milling value of higher quality wheat, is considy ered. The issue that will be raised at the Hillsboro meeting is in line with that placed before Julius Barnes, head of he Grain Corporation, by _Congress- man George Young of North Dakota, in consequence of which Barnes has called a conference to be held in New York city on Aug. 26, when northwest grain interests will be represented. In advance of the conference, ac- cording to telegraphic advices from Washington, Mr. Barnes has assured Mr. Young that “sympathetic consid- eration” would be given to the grow- ers of light weight wheat. KANSAN INVESTS $50,000 IN BIG MARMARTH RANCH Wichita Man Acquires 5,000 Acres and Will Engage in Dairying Marmarth, N. D., Aug. 23.—The larges real estate deal to take -place in..this vicinity for some time was completed last week when N. O. Tate, of: Wichita, Kansas, purchased — the ranches of J. R. Griger, M. A. Brown, J.B. Griffis and F.C. Simpson, which he will- combine into one large; ranch and dairy, with the purpose of supply- ing Marmarth. with the usual dairy products. The deal included, something like 2500 acres belonging to M. A. Brown, 150 acres belonging to J. B. Griffis, 640 acres belonging to J. R. Griger, und 820 acres belonging to. F. C. Simp- son, amounting to about 3600 acres in al), The land is in two. different bodies, the larger one of which lays south and east of Marmarth, its, near- est points being about two miles from the city, while the smaller body of land consisting of something like 1100 acres is located some eight or ten lailes south of town. A large portion of the newly as- sembled ranch is farm land while the rest -is excellent pasture land. It is all adjacent to water, either having access to the Little Missouri river or tributary creeks which are supplied with springs or in which water may be stored through the agency of small dams, Mr. Tate has employed Mr. Simp- son, Who has been - conducting the Riverside Dairy as his manager, and he expects to rapidly improve and en- large his dairy herd so that Marmarth need have no fear as regards a sup- ply of milk for the winter. More cows will be purchased and alfalfa hay will be shipped in from Kansas, and bed- Ging will be shipped in from east of the Missouri river. ASHLEY WILL HAVE MODERN CREAMERY Work Now Under Way on Build- ing to House New Plant Ashley, N. D,, Aug. 23.—Charles Schmiedt, operator of the creameries al Gackle, Streeter and Wishek, pur- cbased a lot from the Schaeffer Broth- ers for the sum of $1000, and which is located just east of the blacksmith shop. A new creamery is being erect- ed_on this lot. On Thursday of last week a spot of 25 by 85 feet was marked off and Contractor J. J. Schlenker with a couple of men commended on the com- ing Creamery in real earnest. The con- crete foundation was soon finished. ‘The tiling, sand and cement arrived on the scene and now everything is wait- ing for further orders from head- quarters, Mr. Schmiedt. The building shall be built of til- ing and stucco and shall be.one story high. When completed . the interior shall be equipped with the latest mod- ern labor saving devices. Mr. Schmiedt, who has been con- stantly on deck since the work began on the creamery, departed for Bis- marck yesterday morning where he has obtained the services of a con- tractor. With three expert brick layers em- ployed, the needed material on hand ard with labor saying equipment, work on the creamery will progress rapidly. Every kind of flower known on the American continent grows in the sands near Gary, Ind.

D., -Aug. / 23.—Joseph Bolz, formerly. of Belfield but now re- siding at Catherine, Canada, was ar-! rested on a. warrant sworn out by States Attorney J., P. Cain, charging Bolz with ‘stealing: four, head of cattle | on the night of April 10, 1918, from his neighbor, F,’E, Jousecks, who resides about six miles_north of Belfield. It is alleged that Bolzsand Al Metzler, Who was sentenced ‘last week to the pen, stole the cattle and drove them to Belfield where ,they sold them to A. H. Hilke, j Metzler turned ‘states evidence and Was star witness for the state. Metz- ler claims that, Hilke bought the stolen beef cattle, knowing they had been stolen from Jousecks. Metzler and Bolz received $150 for the four head of cattle, P Bolz pleaded not guilty. to the charge and he was bound over to the district court, Judge Sterland fixing his bail at $1000 which was immedi- ately furnished. Mr. Bolz moved ' to Canada last year and has made his home here ever since. Sheriff -Har- tung arrested Bolz in Canada. A good ‘deal. of interest has been aroused in this case, for if Bolz is convicted’ it will probably lead to the arrest and conviction of a number of prominent citizens in the western part of the county. A good deal of credit is’due to States Attorney Cain for the efficient way in which he has handled these cases, and if he continugs to make further startling discoveries, he bids fair to have a number of Stark county citizens on hot coals. PARIS “BLUEBEARD” GIVES JUDGE SCOLDING Paris——Landru, Paris “Bluebeard,” gains Confidence as the months go by and none of the dozen murders laid at his door are proved against’ him. He even had the temerity to lecture the court on a recent appearance in which Landru acquitted himself of ene charge. As he left he court Landru trrned to the judge and said: “Please do not bother me with confrontations of this kind. We have more interest- ing things to discuss,, you and I. You accuse me of I don’t know how many crimes, and you do no let me justify myself.” POGROM AT WOMEN’S BATH London—Jewish women _ bathers have been: driven naked through the streets of Cholni by laughing, hooting soldiers, according ‘to pogrom ‘stories received from Poland by Zionist head- auarters here. The troops, say the dis- patches, entered the baths set aside for women and with’ whips: and with the buts of the rifles drove the wo- men into the street.

Usually they stand, or they stood, on the village green, near the church; and it is not such a long while since stocks censed to be used in the land.

COLTS HAVE MILLION... DOLLAR INFIELD NOW Local Team to Play McKenzie Tomorrow Afternoon “The Million Dollar Infield” is’ the way Rudolph Patzman characterizes the new lineup of the Bismarck ball team which meets McKenzie at the capitol ball grounds tomorrow -after- noon. The Colts will have several new men in the line-up, according to. Man- ager Patzman and he promises. base- ball fans a high brand of. ball’ tomor- row. One of the new features will be the pitcher, who identity Patzman is keeping a secret until the. game starts. With the addition of these new players, according to ‘the manager, Bismarck will be able to clean up every team in this vicinity. The Mc- Kenzie team was the victor in the last battle but. Bismarck is confident, of :| 4s applied to profit. that they will feel as unnecessary as a full dress suit at.a threshing party.

HIGH OVERHEAD CURBS PROFITS OF STATE MILL Auditor Kositzky Cannot Regard Drake Enterprise With Much Optimism The North Dakota flour mill at Drake, declares State Auditor Kositz- ky, is launched.with the heaviest reb ative overhead expense that ever has burdened an infant industry in the northwest. Mr. Kositzky estimates this overhead to aggregate nearly $2;- ‘000 per month. He includes in his estimate the following items: Salary of James A. McGovern as manager of state mill and elevator association, $416.66 per month; salary of secretary to Mr. McGovern, $208.33 per month; salary of stenographer to secretary to manager, $100 per month; traveling expenses of ‘manager, $141.25 per month; salary of Oliver S.-Morris, sec- retary of North Dakota industrial com- mission, $300 per month; salary of ‘Mr. Morris’ stenographer, $100 per month; total for salaries of “higher Up’s, $1,266.57 per month. In addition, says Mr. Kositzky, the mill must pay the small wages of four or five men who actually do the mill- ing work. must pay for fuel:and light, | insurance and other incidentals of ups keep, and must pay at least five per- cent interest on a $36,000 bond issue which the mill and elevator associa- tion purposes to plaster onto the prop- erty, for which it is actually paying $20,000. The mill has a daily capacity of 250 barrels. Mr, Kositzky figures that it must grind each day 211 sacks of flour at the rate of $6 per hundred | to pay its overhead, before anytiing On top of these statistics comes the announcement that the mill has promised the farm- ers a premium of 50 cents per bushel on the comparatively small amount of wheat which this industry can. as- similate.
