FOR RETURN TO SERVICE
OF DISMISSED ENSIGN
Recommendation in Favor of OF
ficer Dropped for Marrying With
out Department Permission.

secretary Daniels has recommended
70 the President the restoration to the
Navy of Joseph elliot Austin Of New
York. :; young ensign VINO was dis
missed III l.1" because he married
without permission from the depart
lnent. An ironcad rule in the navy
at that time stipulated that no ensign
should marry without the permission
OF the department. the purpose being to
make sure that the Young officer could
maintain a family. which the salary
of an ensign, unless supplemented from
outside sources. scarcely guarantees.
That order has since been revoked, but
young Austin could not be reinstated.
except by act Of Congress and the
Presidents affirmative action

Not an Intentional Violation.

Secretary Daniels looked into the case
and found that when Austin married,
which was at Honolulu. he invited the
captain and all the officers of the ves-
sci to his wedding. which seemed to
support his contention that he did not
know he WAS violating any depart
mental regulation. Therefore. the Sec
retary indorsed the bill. which was
submitted to Congress. providing for
Austins restoration to naval service,
and that will be accomplished, it is
understood, as soon as President Will
sons attention can be obtained in the
case.
The special act looks to Austins re-
appointment AS an ensign. which
rank he is to hold for one year, when
he may be promoted TO be a lieutenant
ii he passes the necessary professional
and physical examinations.

Y. B. DIEHL DIES SUDDENLY

This community was shocked
last Sunday morning at the report
of the sudden death of our former
t%ownsman, V. B. Diehl, of Mitchell.
Il appears that Mr. Diehl went
home from his drug store about
eleven o'clock Saturday evening
and went to the bathroom to take
q bath before retiring. Hearing a
noise in the bathroom Mrs. DlehI
went to the door, but on hearing
her husband cough inside conclud-
ed that he was all right and did
not enter. A little later his son,
Valentine, fearing that something
was wrong, went to the bathroom
and found his father lying on the
floor dead. Physicians we're at
once called, but declared that
death had been instantaneous,
probably caused by apoplexy. One
night about ten days before his
death, a fire started in his drug
store and the excitement and over
exertion in running to the store
seemed to produce a strain on his
heart. Since that time he had
had frequent pains in the heart
and slight hemorrhages, but his
condition vas not thought to be
serious.
Funeral services we're held at the
Congregational church at Mitchell
Tuesday afternoon, the sermon be-
ing preached by Rev. II. r. Upton,
of Plpestone, Mimi, who was his
pastor while he lived in Scotland.
He paid a high and we'll deserved
tribute to the life of the deceased.
The church was packed to the full
est capacity, an evidence of the
high esteem in which Mr.. Diehl
was held
Those from Scotland who at
tended we're DIR. and Mrs. Kuobs,
Il. A. Reeves and wife, G j. Dick
sou, Mrs. j. L. Meighen. Mrs. v,
s Barker and Miss Tomlinson.
Valentine b. Diehl was born
near Savannah, ILL.,, in November
1858. When a young man he went
to Lemars, la , whore he worked in
q drug store for his brother. In
1884 he came to Scotland and
went into the drug business, the
firm name being Diehl & Ferris.
After a few years of partnership he
bought the interest of his partner
and conducted the business alone
until 1905 when he sold his store
to the r. W. Russell Drug Co.
He soon bought an interest In a
drug store at Mitchell, and later
bought the interest of his partner
and took his two sons into the
partnership. the firm name being
the Diehl Drug Go. He was mar
rled about q year after coming to
SCOTLAND. his wife and six children
surviving him. The children are
Mrs. Ray Branson, Morris, Philip,
Valentine, Catherine and Ralph,
all of whom reside at Mitchell.
Mr. piehl was a man of remark.
able energy and OF superior bust.
ness ability. AS a citizen he wae
public spirited, and was always q
leader in any movement to improve
the community in which he lived.
Whether it was for the improve.
ment of the schools, the support a
religious institutions, or the i'm.
improvement Of moral or business
conditions OF the town, Mr.. Dieh
could always be counted upon a.
one of the pushers. The death q
such a man in the prime al life i,
a severe loss to. any community
and the grief Of the stricken famil,
will be shared by all who kney
him.
