NORTH DAKOTANS 3 TIAUXILIARY ELRCTS — |SiiSee Sarit. ACTIVE IN FIGHT BEFORE VETERANS State Delegation Espouses Both Winning and Losing Sides of Disputes Detroit, Mich. Sept. 24—(@)— North Dakota appears to be boti with winning and losing groups in the three saljent arguments before the national convention of the American Legion which was sched- uled to close its business Thursday, an achievement which at noon looin- ed highly improbable with the con- vention floor wide open to debate on all of the issues. : Instructed to vote for the full cash payment of the bonus, the North Da- kota group seemed in a minority, while their avowed support to Carl Stephens. of North Carolina, together with Minnesote’s ‘intimated backing ‘Wednesday night, apparently had given the southerner a workable margin to make him the next com- mander. On the prohibition question, North Dakota's vote will be an individual matter, the caucus being unable to reach a decision, while the national result as it looked to the Dakotans, would be a Legion plea for a national referendum on the eighteenth amend- ment, or for a congressional revision and modifitation of the Volstead Ac: The Grand Forks drum and bugle corps, while handicapped by its lack of full strength, achieved honorable mention Wednesday in the uniform- ed drill competition. The Dakotans feature, the Star Spangled Banner played with sealed slides, proved one of the contest’s highlights. The number was written by Captain and Director Oscar Bondelied of the Grand Forks corps. Wednesday night the North Da- kota state band, unabel to enter na- tional competition because its thirty- one players from thirty-one Legion posts lacked by five the required number of 36-players, joined with the national champions, Electric post No, 1 of Milwaukee, in a radiocast over station WWJ of Detroit. i Thursday night the state band leaves for Chicago, where Friday wiil be spent, and Saturday morning the group will be in the Twin Cities, notifying the residents there that the North Dakota Bison are going to have plenty of musical support in their grid battle with Minnesota that afternoon. / Officials Are Baffled By Woman’s Death (Continued trom page one) Martin is serving 15 years in the state penitentiary on a charge of! manslaughter. The woman, it is reported, had not} been receptive to attentions which different men have paid her, but questioning of her acquaintances has resulted in all of them offering alibis by have checked out as they were told. Gunder Osjerd, Bismarck, superin- tendent of the state bureau of crim-| inal identification, was to arrive in Minot Thursday afternoon to assist. in the case. Assuming Mrs. Korchenko was murdered, authorities investigating the case have twin theories of how, the body came to be behind the hedge. One is that, after the slay- ing occurred, elsewhere, the body was, brought to the scene in an automo- bile, was deposited at the curb and Jater dragged off the street. Advance Second Theory Another theory is that the actual ‘wounding of the woman took place at the curb, probably where the large pool of blood was. It was supposed then that Mrs. Korchenko's assail- ant, after the deed, placed the body back of the hedge. As the officers continued to study the case, the lat- ter idea began to receive more con- sideration. Reports by neighbors who said they heard groans or screams about 6:30 o'clock Wednesday morning, were not considered by officials as having connection with a supposed attack on Mrs. Korchenko, since her body, when found about 7 a. m., ap- peared to have been lifeless for sev- eral hours. One person reported to Police that screams had been heard about 11 p. m. A shoe which was missing from Mrs. Korchenko’s person when the body was found, later was located| near the scéne and was in possession of officials. . The house at which the woman had been a housekeeper was thor-|!0& oughly searched by police officers. No clues were found, however. John Savora, taken into custody; by the sheriff for questioning Wed- nesday morning, was released later in the day. A sheep herder of the Towner dis- trict, said to have asked Mrs. Kor- chenko Tuesday to accompany him on an automobile ride, was taken in- to custody and questioned. He dis- claimed knowledge of the affair. The woman’s three children, Daniel, Melvin 11, and Josephine, 7, told of- ficers the man had been paying at- tention to their mother, BATTERIES We service and recharge all makes of batteries.

The Tribe has been handicapped in its practice sessions this week. Rains have made the practice field unfit for | scotia lage and the squad has limited itself almost entirely to drill on fun- damentals. Eighteen men probably will be se- lected to take the trip and it was exe pected that they would be named at ta conclusion of Thursday's prac- ice. Coach Leonard McMahon gave his charges a short snappy workout Wed- nesday, and ordered a few minutes of scrimmage before sending them to the showers. "§ Hazelton has a team which com- pares favorably with Mandan in the matter of weight. There are six last year’s lettermen on the squad in ad- dition to a promising list of newcom- ers. The Mandan team will leave by au- tomobile at 8 a. m. Friday. Mandan Merchant to Be Buried in Chicago Funeral services for Alfred Johnson. |Pioneer Mandan merchant who died Wednesday following a long illness, will be held in Chicago, it was an- nounced Thursday. Frank Johnson, of Medford, Wis., who was called to his brother's bed- side last week, will take the body to Chicago. . Burial will be in the family lot in a cemetery near Chicago. College Grid Squad Practices at Mandan Mandan sport enthusiasts were giv- en an opportunity to see a college team in action when the squad repre- senting the St. Mary's college of Wi- nona, Minn., stopped in the city Wed- nesday. The squad worked out on the Man-| dan high school field between trains. The team was on its way to Boze- man, Mont., where it will meet Mon- tana State college Saturday.
