He was driving a blue sedan, they told police, and approached near the spot near the Milwaukee railroad tracks where the body was found by two icemen a short time later, hesi- tated, and then swung the car around and drove awar. Although they observed him only casually, they recalled he appeared to have been about 35 years old, of light complexion, and was short and stocky. An automobile of similar description was scen in the vicinity of the Aune home for three weeks be- fore she disappeared, police said. Question Suspects The brakemen, Anton Nelson, and Earl J. Buckley, said they had not reported the occurrence sooner be- cause they were out of town. They fixed the time when the unidentified man was seen at about 6:35 a.m. It was but a short time later that the body was found. From the door of the baggage car in which they stood, they said they did riot know whether the man in the car tossed a bundle into the tall grass and weeds. Police prepared to follow a new line of in- quiry on the basis of the latest dis- closure and in the meantime, con- tinue the questioning of two addition- detained for interrogation. ‘Risd-werenged to-send detaits of detectives to the funeral of Doro- thy, whose body, wrapped in two | gunny sacks, was found early Wed- nesday.

The other man was said by police to be a bootlegger who lived in the vi- cinity of the Aune home. He had been held once but released. Detec- tives heard he had boasted about his release, so they picked him up again for further questioning. Police indicated some charge might be placed against the proprietor of a small shoe shc>.

Body Is Found Strapped to Chair; Belts Are Used; Gas Is Turned on Philadelphia, Aug 17.—()—An ex- haustive investigation was begun to- day by Superintendent of Police Charles Smith to determine the cause Police Believe Former Suitor May Have Killed the Girl After Her Marriage TIMEPIECE BEARS LETTERS Boys Find Body Floating Along Shore of Lake; Husband Is Still Missing Baraboo, Wis., Aug. 17.—(7)— Less than an hour after doctors at Madison had been unable to decide whether his bride of a few days was murdered or drowned, the body of James Parell was seen floating in Devils Lake. Baraboo, Wis. Aug. 17.—()—An engraved wrist watch today seemed to hold the answer to whether the death of Mrs. James Parillo, 21-year-old Chicago bride, was an accident or a crime. The initials “N. P. to P. M.” en- graved on the watch worn by the woman when her body was recovered from Devil's Lake yesterday, led Sheriff E. C. “fueller to believe she may not have accidentally drowned, while on her honeymoon, but that she may have been slain by a former of the mysterious death of pretty 20- suitor. year-old Mary Frances Morgan, whose body was found late yesterday strapped to a chair in the kitchen of her mother’s fashionable residence in Narbeth, Pa. Four belts, one of them believed to be @ man’s, bound the girl. Gas was flowing from a jet on the gas range, but the windows and a door in the room were wide open, and police said they had found no evidence to indi- cate there had been a struggle in the room. Although some doubt existed as to the cause of the girl's death, Superin- tendent Smith said today he had practically abandoned the suicide theory and was working on the mur- der angle of the case. GARDENS WIN HIGH TWORECRIVE PRIZES Fleck and Barth Displays Are Declared Best Young and Old, Respectively ck A. Fleck, 514 first award for the new places, and Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Barth, 827 Sixth street, received first Place in the older yards and gardens entries for the Bismarck yard and garden contest, the committee on awards announced today. Second place for the new yards went to Mr. and Mrs. Ferris Cordner, 118 First street, and Mr. and Mrs. H. 8. Lobach, 519 Ninth street, were awarded second prize for the older gardens, Yards and gardens receiving hon- orable mention include those of Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Belk, Mr. and Mrs. 8. A. Floren, Mr. and Mrs, George A. Duemeland, Mr and Mrs. William A. Schwartz, Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Morris and Mrs. Peter Reid. The judging committee were Mrs. George F. Dullam, Mrs. F. A. Knowles, and W. L. Nuessle. First year gardens especially showed good results, according to the judges. All have planted elm trees along the boulevards, several back- yards have been transformed into liv- ing rooms, and one had chairs and tables for the older persons and a sand box, swings and a teeter-toter for the children. Of special interest to the commit- tee, and to all Bismarck people with large lawns, was a yard which was found to be entirely free from dande- lions. The owner had used ammonia sulphate, which not only is death to the dandelions, but also acts as a fertilizer for the grass. Several of the yards have original pools and rock gardens, many have bird baths nd feeding boxes, and any number were found to have novel garde indicate that much time and thought have been used in making improve- ments and as a whole the results of the first year's work have added much to the beauty of Bismarck’'s tial districts. Pictures of the winning gardens are display tt the Bismarck bank building. Okay DeRemer Plans It was established through com- munication with Chicago authorities, that “N. P.” apparently was Nick Pel- legrino, to whom she was married but later separated and the marriage an- nulled. The family witlt whom she roomed in Chicago said Pellegrino continued to go with her up to the very day of her marriage to Parillo. An insurance policy, recently renew- ed by the young woman, was found at the Parillo home Friday. Pellegrino still was the beneficiary. Her maiden name was Phyllis Mocerine. The sheriff is of the opin- jon that “N. P.” may be the initials of a former suitor. BISMARCK ENTERS PROTEST AGAINST ~ LOSING POWER €0.| Talk of Transferring Office Staff to Huron; The A. of C. Asks Insull to Retain It Bismarck today entered a protest; against the possible intention to re- move from here the existing head- quarters of the North Dakota Power ahd Light company. Such a move is understood to be contemplated by the Northwestern Public Service com- Pany, which recently absorbed the local power system. The Association of Commerce has taken up the mat- ter and entered the protest. Whether the new owners of the local system will close the offices here entirely or merely move the ac- counting force to Huron, 8. D., the Northwestern's headquarters, is not apparent. The account force, how- ever, would seem about all that could be transferred from here. Such a removal would take an- other $4,000 a month pay roll out of the city, as the closing of the Lahr Motor Sales company will do. Likelihood of Pay Cuts In addition, a big cut in the local pay roll of the electric system is ru- mored. The Huron electric system does not pay salaries as good as paid here, and it is presumed that the new Policy will be to impose reductions in pay or substitute lower-salaried help. That would mean another disad- vantage of the change in control to the city. At present a staff of about 25 is employed in the accounting depart- ment of the company. There is &@/tena force of four supplies salesmen in that department here and four more out in the territory. This is the staff whose removal or transfer is prob- lematical, but which, if it is retained, will probably have to accept pay cuts in conformity with the scale paid at luron. rt ‘The outlook is that a subsidiary superintendent or manager will be re- tained here and possibly some clerical employe responsible directly to Huron headquarters. As it looks and is rumored, the sit- uation might be described as a “clean Bismarck will lose one a show in the City National : 2 merce For Linton | Memorial of 8 MES FEDERAL TROOPS IN BATTLE WITH FIRE; PEAR FOR TWO MEN Force Will Be Augmented: by 4,000 if All Available Sol- diers Are Sent AN INSPECTOR IS TRAPPED 2 Number of Fatalities Grows d Flames Continue to Dev- astate Forests Seattle, Aug. 17—(AP)—Federal troops today were under orders to go to the aid of an army of 2000 fire fighters who have been waging a losing battle against the widespread flames devastating the forests of the Pacific northwest states for several weeks. As the result of appeals to the war department, Major General John. L. Hines, commanding officer of the Ninth Army corps area, instructed the commanding officer at Fort Lewis, Wash., to give such aid as possible to Federal Forest Su am Granger at Portland, Ore. If all available federal troops in Washington state were called out, the fire fighting army would be augment- ed by about 4,000 men. Fear was expressed that two men had been trapped in the Chelan forest fire and burned to death. Fire Lines Meet Douglas C. Inghram, federal grazing inspector from Portland, and Ermen- nie St. Luise, of Chelan, apparently were caught between two lines of fire in the Chelan National forest.
