Sank Centre Writes of His
Life Aboard algonquin"
THINKS NAVY IS "REAL STUFF
Chaser Travels As Knots an Hour
And He Feels 1t Will Menace
Germany's U-B0ats.

This interesting letter was sent to
Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Parker by their son
Orrick, who is in the United States
Navy. Mr. Parker offered the Herald
the right to publish it:
Norfolk, Va, April 10, 1917.
Dear Mother: | guess you will be-
gin to think that Dutch submarine
has got me, but not yet. We are in
the Norfolk navy yard. The Revenue
Service is turned over to the Navy
now and part of the crew went to New
York and part were sent here.
= I am on new torpedo boat Destroy
er, the U. S. S. Algonquin. We are
going out Sunday morning and expect
to be away month. All the ships
here are stripped for action and ready
to sail on a minutes notice. I hope
we will be the ones to fire the first
shot mean my ship.
Germany has jumped on the wrong
guy this time and we figure on max
ing quick work of it. On my ship we
carry eight torpedo tubes, six 1O-inch
guns, four S-inch and four 4-inch. AL
so we have torpedo chaser that will
make As knots an hour. These chas-
ers are electric boats that are used to
catch torpedoes with and we sure can
run one down with this one of ours.
They claim they are going to build 20
more in a month that will make 30
knots. This ship 1 am on is one of the
newest kind and we figure on shoot
ing things up if we find anything.
Have any of the Sank Centre boys
enlisted yet? Tell them they had bet
ter get busy and enlist,Ibecause they
are going to start drafting them il
the army and navy don't fill up and
they will have to go if they are ply
sically fit, whether they are rich OF
poor, married or single.
I suppose Joe is in the army, but
the navy is the place for me. l am
sure seeing the world. While was in
Baltimore, l went up to Washington
D. c., New York City, Philadelphia
Boston and Buffalo.
Well, the lights will go out in min.
ute. Write soon and give everyone my
best regards. 20. Parker,

Sherman at 1880.
GAIL the boys were as hungry as
bears and after partially filling UP
with two portions each, all went to the
recruiting station. Applications were
made in hurry and applicants lined
up for examinations. Bennie Mcbride
was the first to get to the door of the
doctors office. Willard Child was next,
the rest following in line, sticking to
their plans for each to keep their
places.
"Three of the boys were turned
down on account of their eyesight and
were only in the office few minutes.
The balance passed in good shape. Ben
Mcbride was sworn in as apprentice
seamen on Friday and left for the
Great Lakes training station that
night. Willard Child was compelled
to wait one day on account of the ex-
aminations (being enlisted as lands
man for electrician radio) and did not
get his final papers until Saturday
evening. He left shortly after for
the Brooklyn Navy Yards, New York.
The other three boys who passed the
examinations had not enlisted Satur-
day but were to do so the first of the

RETURNED TO FACE GRIM
NAL CHARGES.
WAS CAPTURED In WISCONSIN
LOCATED BY COUNTY ATTOR-
NEY AFTER MONTHS OF
DILIGENT SEARCH

John Markuson, formerly coroner
Of Todd county, who, early last No
vember, left his wife and family in
Grey Eagle in. destitute circum-
stances, was located in Reedsburg,
Wis, last week by County Attorney
VIM. nj. Wood. He was brought back
to Long Prairie Monday to face a for
NAL charge, a conviction on which
means maximum of one year in the
states prison, says the Todd County
Argus.
The public is familiar with some
of the circumstances surrounding John
Markuson'S unceremonious departure
from Grey Eagle shortly before the
general election in November. There
was no clue to his destination, except
letter to his wife which was mailed
at Melrose, stating that he never ex-
pected to return. Markusm held the
office of coroner and his term of office
would not have expired until Deem
Der 81, 1918, but the board Of county
commissioners secured sufficient evil
dence that he did not intend to return
and declared the office vacant, naming
DR.. NJ. L. Murphy Of Browerville to
fill the vacancy.
In the meantime steps had been
taken in Grey Eagle to relieve the

three years old, was an impossibility

which the small son had worked for
several months to buy an overcoat to
wear to school, was even picked" ac-
cording to Mrs. Markuson.
Through piano firm with which
he had dealings while in the house
furnishing business in Grey Eagle,
County Attorney Wood learned that
Markusen several weeks before, had
been selling pianos in the vicinity of
Reedsburg, Wis. Mr.. Wood promptly
mailed the mans photograph with
complete description to the chief Of
police of Reedsburg, asking that he
reply by wire in case Markuson was
there. An affirmative reply came
promptly and Mr.. Wood requested his
detention.
It is believed that Markuson will
ask to be taken into district court
at once to enter plea Of guilty to
the Indictment found against him at
the March term as it is several
months before his case could come to
trial,
