D., Dec. 22.—(P}—A| ooroner’s jury investigating the death | of Adam McKenzie, 83, whose frozen | and battered body was found in his| shack on the bank of the Tongue river 10 miles northeast of here, held| ‘Thursday that the aged man came to hts death at the hands of a person or persons unknown. McKenzie’s. body was found in a; ‘pool of blood on the floor of his shack Inte Wednesday by Mr. and Mrs. Gene Rerard, neighbors, from whom he ob- tained his bread. He had not made nis usual call at the Berard home and, Zearing something may have happen- | ed. the Berards went to his place to investigate. The coroner’s jury was composed of George L. Paxman and E. A. Purdy of Hamilton and Joe Martindahl of | ‘Bathgate. Witnesses were questioned t vy B. 8. Thorwaldson, Pembina coun- be ty coroner, and State’s Attorney H. a Johanneson. Two doctors, Dr. J. L. Mulder of Cavalier and Dr. G. R. Waldron of Pembina, testified Mc- Kenzie’s skull had been fractured and that both his hands had been injured, indicating he may have raised his arm vo ward off blows from a blunt in- strument which apparently was used by the slayer. Doctors said McKenzie «Was dead 24 to 48 hours before the| body was discovered. Robbery Seen As Motive Testimony at the inquest indicated | that McKenzie was reputed to have kept considerable money in his shack and that the motive likely was rob- bery, although it was believed the slayer had been frightened away be- | fore ransacking the place. In Mc- sXenzie’s pocket was more than $50 and in a sack was $90 in Canadian currency and a $50 liberty bond. t! Authorities under the direction of Sheriff A. B.

SANTA KNOWS HIS STUFF St. Louis—Even Santa Claus, it developed today, knows about the NRA. A grocery store's Santa Claus telephoned Miss Katherine Meyer, ‘ secretary to T. L. Gaukel, district compliance director, to ask about the minimum wage under the code for grocery employes. “I think,” Miss Meyer quoted Santa Claus as saying, “that Santa Claus should receive at least the minimum.” Santa Claus didn’t say whether he had heard about the NRA at the north pole or after he came south, Advance New Remedy For Gladiola Insect A new remedy for killing the gladi- +, ola insect, a species of thrips, is given * ‘by J.

Tt isn’t such a long time since stage greats of the nation stopped off here to give performances, glad to break the long jump from the Twin Cities to the Pacific coast and to pick up ex- pense money. But those days, according to E. H. L. Vesperman, long manager of the City Auditorium, are “gone forever.” It Bismarck is to have stage per- formances they must be presented by the home folks. Not since Ethel Bar- tymore appeared here in 1931 in “The School for Scandal” has Bismarck been visited by a “road show.” Indi- cation are that the visit of America’s dramatic princess may have been the last of a gay galaxy which began 20 years ago but which fell victim to the In their place is being offered the!
